Resident Evil Starting Point? (lemmy.world)

Hello!

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 just finished RE6 on Switch recently. It was my first RE game. And I gotta say, the game was horrible. I liked the story, but just playing it was a chore. I couldn't wait to finish it on easiest mode so I could just move on. The combat was bad, the deaths are annoying because you have to play more of the game. So I shouldn't judge RE by that one?

Definitely not! I'd recommend picking up RE4. Similar over the shoulder, action-focused play style as 6, but it's an absolute classic and easily the strongest of that particular style of RE game. The gameplay has aged pretty well, IMO. It's a bit cornier with it's presentation, but I think that's part of the game's charm.
