Should I play re 0 or re1 first?

Play Resident Evil 1 (Remake/HD Remaster) first, then Resident Evil 0, because RE1 offers a smoother introduction to classic gameplay and story, while RE0 spoils some of RE1's twists and introduces mechanics (like partner swapping) that are less streamlined than RE1's classic setup, making RE1 the better starting point for new players before diving into the prequel.

Do you need to play RE7 before RE8?

Yes, you should play Resident Evil 7 (RE7) before Resident Evil Village (RE8) because RE8 is a direct sequel continuing Ethan Winters' story from RE7, and playing RE7 first gives crucial context, emotional weight to returning characters like Chris Redfield, and a better understanding of the plot, though RE8 offers a brief recap. You won't be totally lost without it, as RE8 fills in some gaps, but the story's impact and nuances are significantly lessened if you skip RE7.
