Of all the survival horror games out there, the Resident Evil series has to be the most famous. With stories spanning multiple games, it's no wonder first timers are confused about where to start. If you're the kind of gamer who dips your toes into Resident Evil, this one's for you. So without further ado, here are all the Resident Evil games to help you get started with everything.

Before I begin, I must mention that I am not including any old spin-off games as they are mostly non-canonical to the main story. So you won't see any Survivor games or Operation Racoon City here. With that said, here are all the Resident Evil games in story order:

Prequel to the first Resident Evil game and overall the first game chronologically, Resident Evil 0 kicks things off and shows the origins of the T-Virus and the Umbrella Corporation.

Set on a train, the game puts you in control of STARS doctor Rebecca Chambers and seafaring fugitive Billy Coen as they survive the onslaught of zombies while uncovering the secrets. While the first Resident Evil game in story order, this is the fifth game in the series. Nonetheless, play this one first.
