Capcom's Resident Evil series sits at the sharp end of survival horror on PC, mixing tense resource management with blockbuster set-pieces in a way rivals like Dead Space and The Evil Within tend to lean away from. This Steam franchise sale covers multiple eras of the series, from modern remakes to the more action-forward entries, so it's a decent chance to fill gaps in your library or jump in without committing to the whole back catalogue at once.

Where should you start: remake, reboot, or modern sequel?

If you want classic survival horror pacing with contemporary visuals, the remakes (including Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4) are the obvious entry points. Prefer something more cinematic and combat-heavy? Later entries push bigger encounters and smoother gunplay, while still keeping the series' trademark tension and inventory pressure.

  • Resident Evil 3 Remake, faster, more linear horror with a relentless pursuer vibe.
  • Resident Evil 4, a modern benchmark for action-horror pacing and combat feel.
  • "Requiem", check the store page details to confirm which entry/edition is included.
