I recently got a Steam Deck, and have heard great things about the Unreal Engine and games in general running smoothly on Deck.
Where should I start with Resident Evil on Deck? I’ve never played any RE games, but I do know a bit about Leon, Ada, and of course —Lady Dimestricua, or however it’s spelled.
Similarly, would you recommend playing FF7 or the FF7 Remake first? Haha
I’ve played a lot of the games, but I bounced off RE1 since it’s a little bit stricter about resource management.
The remakes of 2, 3, 4, are all meant to be great entry points. If you like, 7 is also a good entry since it followed the poor reception of 6, and basically “soft-rebooted” with a completely different venue. For the most part, RE’s base story isn’t much more complicated than “Umbrella is an evil pharmaceutical corporation that makes monster viruses”, so there’s no strong need to follow an order.
I may be biased, but I think the story is faster and flows much better in Final Fantasy 7 original than remake. I think the long thread of hype for remake lead them to make way too much unnecessary “content” to bloat the size of the game, so they could justify 3 AAA games plus DLC around them. That can depend on whether you can put up with the older graphics.
If you’d like a JRPG from the same era that runs well on the Deck, another to consider is Trails in the Sky. Their remake is very true to the original, so there’s basically no urgent need to play one over the other.
