It's been long time since I played Resident Evil game. The last one I played was Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube. I have played RE1, RE2 RE3, RE:CV, RE4, RE Remake and RE Zero but never got around to play RE 5, RE 6, RE7 and both revelations games. With Resident Evil being on sale I would like to jump back into the series.

Which of the Resident Evil games I haven't play are worth playing?

- Resident Evil 5
- Resident Evil 6
- Resident Evil 7
- Revelations 1
- Revelations 2

7

 

[iPaul93]

RE 7 and Revelations 1/2, but don’t expect them to be mind blowing.

 

[MrS]

7 only. Both Revelations games are terrible.

 

[Sheroking]

7 is the best of the ones on that list.

My second favorite game of the year so far.

 

[Archtreyz]

All of them really. Though they are vastly different experiences.

 

[Giolon]

I loved 5, but play it co op with a friend if you can. The partner AI isn’t great.

 

[Foffy]

RE5 if you cared about the lore of the series, seeing as 5 was marketed as an "end" to the mainline story and Wesker.

RE7 if you're just looking for a good game.

 

[AdaWong]

Remake, RE4, RE2, RE6 and RE7 One from each RE gameplay type.


Do NOT play RE5, it aged like milk...

 

[guiJedi]

You've played the great ones. From that list the only worth trying are 7 (best one) and Revelations 1 and 2 imho, if you want silly scripted third person action go with 5 y 6.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

7 is the best RE since RE4.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

RE 6 is fun if you shut off your brain and play it as mindless shootbang. I kinda liked what I played of Revelaitons 1 and 2 too. Haven't played 7, and 5 is complete global garbage.

 

[Sheroking]

Huh?

 

[Yawnny]

Came here to give a +1 for 5.. really enjoyed that one.

 

[HiiiLife]

5 and 7 are the best.

 

[Grisby]

I found enjoyment in all of those titles to be honest.

If I could only pick two I'd go with 7 and 5, a mix of some classic and action.

 

[JayEH]

All of the above.

 

[guiJedi]

Huh?

Sorry birdperson I edited.

 

[boinx]

5 in co-op

 

[SargerusBR]

Skip Rev 1, is the one of the worst of the franchise.

 

[De_Legend]

RE7, it’s up there with REmake and RE2 imo.

 

[CaptainLoveline]

The first half of 7 and Revelations 2.

The other games aren't Resident Evil

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Revelations 2 might be my favorite overall RE game post 4. The first 3/4 of 7 are absolutely amazing though.

 

[lilty]

My favourites from that list are 5, 7, and Revelations 1. If you enjoyed 4 you'll likely enjoy 5 as it builds upon the foundation that game built and is really polished. It gets a lot of hate for taking the series into a more action-focused direction but it's still a fantastic game.

7 is really good and changes the series up again. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

As for Revelations I think the consensus seems to be that 2 is better but I really prefer the first game. It has some good atmosphere and the campy story and dialogue RE is known for. Keep in mind that it was a 3DS game originally and adjust your expectations and you should have a good time.

Personally I love RE and think all of the titles there are worth playing, but if you don't want to go that route I'd just start with 5, 7, and Revelations for now.

 

[Ordinaryundone]

All of the RE games are worth playing. If I had to choose from your list I'd pick 5 and 7 with maybe an honorable mention of Rev 2.

 

[mikeGFG]

If you have a buddy, RE5 Co-op is a must

If you wanna go solo, RE7.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

5 and 6 of course.

There's a reason they are the top two highest selling games from Capcom =D

Oh and Revelations 2, my personal favorite from recent times.

 

[Ahasverus]

All of them except for 6. No matter how much you think it might not be that bad. It is that bad and then some.

 

[Zaru]

5 in co-op

This. It's not a good "Resident Evil" game or a horror game. But damn was it a good co-op experience even with random strangers.

 

[-MD-]

From your list only 5 (good) and 7 (great), the rest you can safely ignore.

 

[Anung]

All of them especially 6.

 

[Renna Hazel]

5. Especially if you have a co-op partner. 6 was pretty weak and I haven't played 7 beyond the demo so I wont recommend those.

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

RE 6 is fun if you shut off your brain and play it as mindless shootbang. I kinda liked what I played of Revelaitons 1 and 2 too. Haven't played 7, and 5 is complete global garbage.

So it's not really much of a survival horror game anymore? I have seen some videos of Resident Evil 6 but it seems like there was a lot of action and didn't seem like you would starve for ammo and resources. Maybe it was played on lower difficulty settings? Is it really so much of a shooter compared to other games in the series?

 

[The Praiseworthy]

As a die hard fan of the franchise since 1996 and never missed a RE game.... I say play this only from the ones you’ve missed:

A true high quality RE game that are worth the name since RE4.

 

[nkarafo]

Just 7. Avoid the rest.

 

[JCHandsom]

7

5, but only if you can do co-op

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

7

5, but only if you can do co-op

I don't think I'll be able to co-op the game, I would probably play solo.

 

[kurahador]

All of those. Just avoid shits like Operation Raccoon City or Umbrella Corps.

5 and 6 are pretty much just third person shooters with zombies and mutants, yeah. 5 tried to balance the shootbang and the survival horror but did neither very good at all, and by 6 Capcpom just said fuck it and made it more or less a pure shooter. And it worked. RE6 gets a lot of hate and I can see why some dislike it, but personally I had fun with it.

 

[Reset]

Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6. Try to get a friend to play co-op with you.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Just 7 but i'd wait if you ever plan to get a VR headset.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

5 on co-op is one of the best gaming experiences around.

Question about the 6, do you play as a different people in it? I'm asking cause from what I've seen in the trailer there are a lot of people in it from main games.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

- Resident Evil 5
- Resident Evil 6
- Resident Evil 7
- Revelations 1

All 5 of them.

It's been years since I played it, but yeah, IIRC you play as different characters who all partake in the same story, and eventually the game ties up all of their storylines.

This man gets it. Even though I enjoyed RE6, I'd probably recommend TEW over it.

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

the evil within
the evil within 2
re 7

I have both Evil Within games, I just have to buy the first one on PS4 cause my xbox version still works like shit.

 

[kennyamr]

7

.

 

[Fluloco]

the evil within
the evil within 2
re 7

I actually agree with this.

If you want to stick only to the Resident Evil name, RE7 and maybe Revelations 1.
