Reply to comment by 2steppa156 in Is the story of Resident Evil worth it to play all games chronological? by erwin040

RE1, RE2, RE3, RE0 and Code Veronica all play entirely differently than anything that came after. Having grown up with the games, I prefer the top down view and slower pace of the earlier games.

RE4, RE5, and RE6 are over the shoulder and much more action oriented.

RE7 and RE8 are first person and also fairly action oriented.

All of the games are loosely connected with some characters reappearing across several games.

That said, the story is B-movie horror and has become a total clusterfuck of a mess that's almost impossible to follow anyway.
