I know everything about RE Universe bro.
Played the Original RE 2 & 3 aswell on PSone.
But I would rather play RE2+3 after 7 to give the same format a break.
RE8 after those.
Technically also I usually prefer playing older games first.
Have Already Played Dead Space Remake.
AW2 is must for me..
Don’t have PC.
If possible play RE8 after RE7 since it's a direct sequel to RE7 story-wise! RE 2+3 are their own games and those characters don't come in this game (though they are part of the same universe and exist, just doing their own thing during the time of RE7/8)
AW2 not at all scary. All it got is cheap jump scares with annoying flashing lights to give tou seizures.
I liked AW2 overall as a game, but didn't love it all thanks to really bad Alan gameplay sections. His gameplay sections were really bad with annoying puzzles and poor level design.
Calisto protocol was added to gamepass few months back. I played for an hour and deleted it lol.
You should try Dead space remake. Its quite good.
