Albert Wesker will always be my favorite horror game villain antagonist. No explanations why. Though I'm very happy you included SHODAN as she's a terrifying AI from an overlooked series System Shock. (Plus, I'm glad the remake ended up being great as well)
Shodan is legendary!! But yeah, my personal biased wanted to give Wesker number 1 but in the end I was like I can’t really give enough explanations for why he should be 1 other than me just personally loving the dude lol. Kirie on the other hand had more depth. So I caved and gave him runner up instead 🤣
Other great villains include: - Andrew Ryan and Sander Cohen (Bioshock) [many don't see it as a survival horror game, but I do] - Pious Augustus (Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem) - Dr. Challus Mercer (Dead Space) - unnamed Unitologist Cult Leader (Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC) [He really should have been the villain in the main game, rather than the bland and annoying Jacob Arthur Danik] - Noah Morissette (Tormented Souls) [to those of you who have never heard of this game, I highly recommend it] - Dr. Malcolm Betruger (Doom 3)
Tbh almost included both Andrew Ryan & Dr. Mercer in the top 10 (hence why I give them cameos in the video as honorable mentions) but went with a few other options instead.
tbf I need to get more involved with the fnaf games. I've played one or two (a long time ago) but I know there's a lot of lore with the franchise and that kind of thing intrigues me
@@NerdSpaceGames True but tbh FNAF lore can be complicated due to many people having different iteration or takes on the stories/event's of the FNAF Verse. Luckily the main Canon Events are known though.
I know im late to this one but love seeing some Fatal Frame recognition! Thise games deserved so much more hype when they came out. Im still hoping desperately for an original trilogy remake!
@@NerdSpaceGames i wish Tango Games was still around! Not saying The Evil Within didn't get good love, but not nearly as much as it deserved! Not sure how they'd have continued it, but damn i wish they did
@@jpsailorallaboardmatey461 apparently prior to the studio being shutdown by Xbox, they pitched Evil Within 3 & High Five Rush 2, but that's all rumors and speculation. Hopefully if High Five Rush 2 succeeds with the parent company that just bought the IP from Xbox, then maybe we'll see them purchase the Evil Within IP as well haha
I would add Atlas/Frank Fontaine and Dr Brigid Tenenbaum from Bioshock. What they did to those innocent children and how Atlas manipulated you throughout the game was very exceptional. One of my first ‘mind blown’ moments in video games
September 10th 1998. The Raccoon General Hospital admits patients suffering from a strange sickness. A doctor writes that the patients' skin is rotting, that they're losing their minds. He describes them as the living dead.
One of my favorites horror game villains is Malice from Yomawari Midnight Shadows. He doesn't have a backstory, he appears in a very small time, but he is one of the coolest (and yet scary) monsters i've seen, and he has one of the most interesting concepts in a horror game. I recommend a lot this game. Go play without knowing anything from the story.
Wesker should stay gone and I don't understand people wanting him back. Stories need endings and he had his. also I can't take a character seriously who thinks an apartment is his mother. Very interesting choice for the 1 spot. I approve. I'm already subbed though so your quality content already earned that from me. Good work as always dude. Also Eve was quite cool. I wish we got voiced lines for those characters, but still a good game. And that anime looking game, Wow. That sounds interesting.
@@NerdSpaceGames i think adding a new super soldier villain someone like wesker but has the hight strength like Mr. X and the awsomeness of Nemesis, as i feel a character whos immortal yet like 2 of the biggest baddest enemies alive its fun to see if capcom does something like that, combining a mr x n nemesis type enemy yet being immortal like wesker and have the ability like the chainsaw mutant boss (the captain of queen zenobia) by having an arm thats a chainsaw...ik that might be a tad over powered but it would be pretty cool
lol TOTALLY almost included him but he was barely pushed out by Eve. In hindsight, I probably should have kept him but Eve just had a bit more character to her than Chris Walker haha
Make a Video about how Wesker could survive. My Theory is that he stored his Memory inside a sample of the Megamycete that was in the possesion of Osweld E. Spencer, in which he waits until a New Body is ready.
The evil within is one of my favorite games it even put me on silent hill but resident evil has a ton of different styles and that may be my favorite series as a whole
I never played fetal frame so I'm not sure if I agree with you or not one day I will play it for now I pick Wesker as my number one because I played every resident evil game except for 3 and cold Veronica
tbh most would probably go Wesker. He's way more iconic. I think Kirie's backstory and the feeling of dread that she brings with each scene that she's in made me give a slight edge to her over Wesker.
@@NerdSpaceGames ah hi I'm so nervous I don't wanna give a first bad impression because I never expected you to replay to me I don't know what to say I'm a fan
@@user-f3d3p lol I try to reply to as many comments as possible even though sometimes they get lost in the crow 😅 But don't be nervous and it wasn't a bad impression at all. We all have different opinions and I never expect everybody to share my exact opinions and thoughts when I do these ranking videos lol. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing at all so long as it's kept cordial. Thanks for commenting!!
never heard of it honestly. I considered other VN horror game villains like Junko Enoshima in Danganronpa and Sachiko in Corpse Party, but Danganronpa is on the border of not being a horror game that I didn't want to push the limits, and Sachiko, while terrifying, didn't really stand up to the rest of the entries on my list imo.
I love horror games in general but i wish i played system shock, i havent played parasite eve or fatal frame (mainly because the picture gameplay is kinda off putting honestly
honestly I would say pyramid head would've been great on here with him being a physical representation of James guilt and mental health when he enters silent hill. There aren't to many monsters that represent someone's mental health in horror games.
Yeah I was between Pyramid Head, Maria, & Walter Sullivan but went Sullivan because of his back story. Tbh I would have even gone Maria over Pyramid Head since she’s more of the antagonist of SH2 than Pyramid Head is
Tbh the only reason I didn’t put him in over Ruvik is due to the lack of him in the second game. He’s kind of treated like Lady D in Village where he was one of the most interesting villains of the game that was killed off early before he lived up to his full potential
Haha i mean i get why you need to, but still, is this how soft the world has got?! A trigger warning on a list about the best villains! Does society expect their back stories to be people who worked in soup kitchens or something 🤔 😐 😂
Lmao just covering myself. Don’t want to end up getting sniped for not giving the warning when I dive into themes like the ones in fatal frame & doki doki lol
@@jpsailorallaboardmatey461 well I think it's available on ps5 too, but not free. Can't remember though. The concept of the game might make it hard to play on PS5 so I'm curious as to how the game is on console if you do end up checking it out. Keep me posted!
Swap #2 with #1 and I agree with this list. Wesker has been dominating since 1996. I feel like RE9 should go back to the original protagonists and antagonists. It just doesn’t feel like RE without Wesker, Chris, Jill, Leon, or Claire. Capcom trying to fix what isn’t broken is taking away from the lore of the game. Give us Wesker for one final showdown with the OG’s!

Monika and Wesker on the same thumbnail is awesome😆
lol right?! I had to do it tbh. Saw them together when pitting villains against each other and when I got to them I was like “perfection” 🤣
Monika was next level targeting you the player instead of same avatar

Yeah tbh highly considered a villain from Bioshock, but I think I would have went Andrew Ryan if I did
Heck yeah! Looking forward to this
Enjoy!!!
Not having William afton on here is a crime
Sorry 😭
September 10th 1998.
The Raccoon General Hospital admits patients suffering from a strange sickness. A doctor writes that the patients' skin is rotting, that they're losing their minds. He describes them as the living dead.
The joker in the Arkham games
Didn’t include this since it’s technically not a horror game but love this pick!
@@NerdSpaceGames you were right not to, its more of an action/stealth game really.
Great list. Director Lionel Starkweather from Manhunt could also make the list, along with Leo Kasper from Manhunt 2.
Good shout out tbh! Should have guessed that you'd mention Manhunt characters though with your pfp lol
One of my favorites horror game villains is Malice from Yomawari Midnight Shadows. He doesn't have a backstory, he appears in a very small time, but he is one of the coolest (and yet scary) monsters i've seen, and he has one of the most interesting concepts in a horror game. I recommend a lot this game. Go play without knowing anything from the story.
I’ll have to check it out! This is a game I’ve never played or heard of and that’s weird because I’ve played a lot of niche horror games!!
@@NerdSpaceGames I really hope you like it. Don't let the "simpler" look fool you. It's a game that deserves more recognition.
Wesker is my favourite villian and character he got me into resident evil after i saw him in dead by daylight
Wesker should stay gone and I don't understand people wanting him back. Stories need endings and he had his. also I can't take a character seriously who thinks an apartment is his mother.
Very interesting choice for the 1 spot. I approve. I'm already subbed though so your quality content already earned that from me. Good work as always dude.
Also Eve was quite cool. I wish we got voiced lines for those characters, but still a good game.
And that anime looking game, Wow. That sounds interesting.
I totally respect that. I prefer moving on from wesker too (hence my Spencer theory) but I get why people want him back so badly
@@NerdSpaceGames i think adding a new super soldier villain someone like wesker but has the hight strength like Mr. X and the awsomeness of Nemesis, as i feel a character whos immortal yet like 2 of the biggest baddest enemies alive its fun to see if capcom does something like that, combining a mr x n nemesis type enemy yet being immortal like wesker and have the ability like the chainsaw mutant boss (the captain of queen zenobia) by having an arm thats a chainsaw...ik that might be a tad over powered but it would be pretty cool
Hey nothing wrong with Wesker here! He's one of the best villains but have to admit Rabtoons was right he's mustache twirling levels of evil
WHERE'S MY HOMEBOY CHRIS WALKER?!
lol TOTALLY almost included him but he was barely pushed out by Eve. In hindsight, I probably should have kept him but Eve just had a bit more character to her than Chris Walker haha
Make a Video about how Wesker could survive. My Theory is that he stored his Memory inside a sample of the Megamycete that was in the possesion of Osweld E. Spencer, in which he waits until a New Body is ready.
That’s a very unique theory! Love it!!
The top 2 i completely stand by👍
Thanks! A lot agree with Wesker, but Kirie is a harder sale for most tbh
@@NerdSpaceGames nah, she's horrifying. Love that franchise. Highly under rated
Top 10 antagonists you coulda added Alien too :)
lol I literally explained why I didn’t include Xenomorph specifically in the intro of the video.
But I get it. I love the Xeno I just wanted more villains with depth on this list
For some reason, I wanna know your top 10 puppet combo games
The evil within is one of my favorite games it even put me on silent hill but resident evil has a ton of different styles and that may be my favorite series as a whole
Love love love Evil Within!!!

@@NerdSpaceGames lol😅 your welcome I subscribed too
Miyuki from you and me and her would be a good pick since Monika is on here.

great game! You're missing out!
Wesker isnt number 1 i am dissapointed
Sorry tried to go unbiased as possible here. You know I love me some Wesker lol
@@NerdSpaceGames ok😔
Freddy Fazbear anyone ?
Considered him but decided again it. He’s more intriguing for a monsters/robots only video though!
@@NerdSpaceGames you could add him in a top 10 horror robot/ monsters video...or foxy..i personally love foxy lol
He's not really the Villain since William Afton is the main antagonist.
honestly I would say pyramid head would've been great on here with him being a physical representation of James guilt and mental health when he enters silent hill. There aren't to many monsters that represent someone's mental health in horror games.
Yeah I was between Pyramid Head, Maria, & Walter Sullivan but went Sullivan because of his back story. Tbh I would have even gone Maria over Pyramid Head since she’s more of the antagonist of SH2 than Pyramid Head is
@@NerdSpaceGames thats a very fair point there, honestly I love how diverse the list ended up being keep up the great work!!
thanks! glad you enjoyed it!
I do agree with most of your picks. However Ruvik for me was pretty bland and uninteresting compared to Stephano from the second game.
Stefano is actually my second favorite villain of the franchise lol
Tbh the only reason I didn’t put him in over Ruvik is due to the lack of him in the second game. He’s kind of treated like Lady D in Village where he was one of the most interesting villains of the game that was killed off early before he lived up to his full potential
@@NerdSpaceGames that is true, i wish we saw more of him.
