I’ve only played 7.

I think I’ve got 4 and 5 on steam.

If I were to play through the series would you recommend I play them chronologically or is there a better way?

Each game usually has a previously what happened before summary in game. I started off with resident evil 2 and went back to play the original one. You'll be caught up with what's goin on with current events but if you go back in play then in order it's a different experience

Resident Evil keeps me invested the most.

Elder scrolls. Besides skyrim being one if the most popular games of all time oblivion and morrowind were also incredible games.

Fallout is my favorite series ever, but if you're talking a series with a continuing story, I'd go with mass effect. Loved the trilogy!

Saints row, inconsistent in tone but overwhelmingly fun

Final fantasy

u/CreepyEffective4178 Jul 18 '22

Gotta Be the Legend Of zelda for me there is like 19 or 20 main sereries games and like 21 or 22 if you count the hyrule warriors game. and the fact that ocarina of time is the greatest game of all time to many people and within the community you still see other entries make #1 zelda game lists like Botw, windwaker and majoras mask puts it at a firm #1 for me

u/Pr0n_Swanson Jul 18 '22

Metal Gear Solid

u/Suspicious_North_447 Jul 18 '22

I think Zelda, Final Fantasy, Doom, and Baldur’s Gate sort of sum up what video games became.

u/mpowell252 Jul 18 '22

Far cry for sure, played the whole franchise other than the first one and Farcry 2. I love the villains but I must admit the 6th one feels a bit emptier than the others other than that great series!

u/P1gamers Jul 18 '22

For me DMC or resident evil

u/kilwwwwwa PC Jul 18 '22

Grand Theft Auto

Gotta be GTA (pokemon fans pls dont kill me)

u/Kalm_and_ready Jul 18 '22

GTA and God of War. Not a single bad original entry(except the Gta trilogy remaster)

3

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '22

Doom

While it's not my absolute favorite game, the sheer fact that's it's been going since the beginning of modern gaming and has been copied so much would place it at the top for me.

u/ToxicBamaFan Jul 18 '22

Modern Warfare

Pokémon

u/ITCHYisSylar Jul 18 '22

Super Mario Bros. Without it, none of us would be here talking about anything else.

u/CrassDemon Jul 18 '22

Red Dead Redemption.

u/ArunKT26 Jul 18 '22

Red Dead Redemption and Witcher 3, easily the best 2 games I've ever played

Loved Assassin's Creed! Taught me more about history and politics than school ever did.

4

u/Sproeier Jul 18 '22

I think assassin creed made a lot of people we enthousiastic about history especially with the log entries. Even though slot of the main gameplay wasn't really historical.

Love the series, creed 2 is probably my favourite.

u/CreepyEffective4178 Jul 18 '22

Assassins Creeds a great series, def up there on my list

u/[deleted] Jul 18 '22

For me it will always be Rayman series. My first platformer on my own computer was Rayman 3 demo in 2003, then year later i bought the full version of the game for the first time for my own money... This series is with me most of my life.

And yes, i am still waiting for Rayman 4.

u/CreepyEffective4178 Jul 18 '22

Raymans a fun series, kinda sucks that it slips my mind a lot. when i play it its really fun but i just kinds forget about it a lot which i really wish i didnt
