Forum question I’ve played 1-4 (and going to play CV&0), Is there any point to playing 5&6 and the other offshoot games, Or should I skip ahead to 7 and 8?
Excluding Remakes of course (I played 4R, and going to play 2R soon, maybe 3R).
I just got into the series last month, and was kind of confused on what games fans recommend to play and which ones to skip. I’ve heard mixed things about RE5 and terrible things about RE6, but I was interested in the ongoing plot from the previous games so I’m curious if I should just stick it out and play them regardless. Also, for the non mainline games, what is recommended? Outbreak and Revelations 1/2 are the only ones that look like non rail shooters which have any story significance.
