If you’re in the market for some survival horror entertainment, Microsoft’s got just the deal for you.

While diehard fans will assuredly have played most, if not all, of the above, newcomers who have found recently found themselves hooked on the series thanks to this and last year’s remakes now have the perfect excuse to experience Resident Evil‘s more modest beginnings.
If, on the other hand, you’ve yet to indulge in some of the spinoff media released over the years, Revelations and its sequel are well worth checking out, though you might find more success with the latter, which, unlike the original, was developed specifically for home consoles and features the most recent canonical appearance of former S.T.A.R.S. member Barry Burton.
As always, though, we’d recommend you steer clear of or leave Resident Evil 6 until last. The sixth entry remains the weakest to date, its poor critical reception eventually being partially responsible for Capcom’s decision to soft-reboot the series in 2017.
As for what’s in store for the franchise in the future and beyond, last month marked the official reveal of Resident Evil 8 for PC and next-gen consoles. See here for more details.
