Looking to Dive Back into Resident Evil - What Should I Buy?

-

Hey everyone! I used to love Resident Evil, especially RE2 back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Now that there’s a big Steam sale, I’m overwhelmed by all the Resident Evil options out there. There are 12 games and over 100 DLC packs! Can you help me put together a list of must-have games so I can fully immerse myself in the Resident Evil universe before the sale ends? Thanks a ton!

If you’re new to the series, definitely go for the remakes of *Resident Evil* 2, 3, and 4, or you could check out 7 and 8 (Village). It’s best to play them in order, so start with 2, then 3 or 4, and after that, check out 7 before diving into 8. Just don’t skip 7—it’s really key to understanding 8!

Given your experience, starting with the RE2 Remake is a great idea. If you liked the original, you’re in for a real treat with this one!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll definitely start with RE2 Remake.

Here’s a solid list for you: pick up the remakes of RE1, RE2, and RE4. You can also grab RE3 (either the original or the remake, though I prefer the original). Make sure to include RE5, RE7, and RE8 as well. For DLCs, you’ll want Separate Ways for RE4 and the DLC for RE7.
