I played 1-4 back in the day, but my memory of the details is pretty fuzzy. Something something Umbrella releases a new virus like iPhones every few years, something something, somehow Wesker returned.
Anyway, I hear 7 is kind of a soft reboot? Is that a good one to get back into the series with, and not have to know 12 games of plot?
And if 7 is good, does 8/Village follow directly from that without needing too much prior game knowledge?
Don’t worry about the story. They’re all pretty much disconnected, and it’s better to think of them as standalone stories with a shared (but ultimately inconsequential) universe.
If you haven’t played the RE 2 remake, start there. It’s IMO the best resident evil game of all time. I have a ton of nostalgia for OG RE1, but this remake is spectacular.
I beat both 7 and 8 but forgot the story, so there ya go. IIRC, 8 is a sequel to 7, with the same main character, so it might be smart to play 7 first. Both are great, but it’ll take a bit to get settled in with the first person view.
