Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999)

You could say that RE 2 and 3 have an ambiguous storyline because the two complement each other.

If Vicigers want to really get into the plot, the order of play is to play half of RE 3 first then stop, switch to finish RE 2, then play the rest of RE 3 again.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica (2000)

Resident Evil: Revelations (2012)

The character that appears is completely new, named Ethan Winters, who is adventuring in the suburbs of America. Here also RE appears with a new gameplay that carries a first person perspective (first person – FPS).

Resident Evil 8: VII.I.AGE (2021)

Predicted to be the best RE game to date, RE 8: VII.I.AGE (pronounced VILLAGE) is still continuing the story of the previous installation.
