Should I play RE3 or re2 first?

For the best story experience, play Resident Evil 2 (RE2) first, then Resident Evil 3 (RE3), as RE3 overlaps with RE2 (part of RE3 happens before RE2, most during, and the end after), and playing RE2 first makes the events in RE3 more impactful, revealing the context of Raccoon City's fall. RE2 is also generally considered a more complete, classic survival horror experience, while RE3 is more action-oriented, so playing RE2 first sets the stage well.
