What to play first.

[Crypto Gamer]

(I just purchased the RE0 and RE1 remake on a sale.)

Currently Downloading them.

Which game to start first, does RE0 spoil RE1 or vice versa?

By release: RE1
By chronology: RE0

Personally, I would start with 1 today. Precisely because it paved the way back then. Even though it is the HD remaster of the remake, it still remains in a sense the classic.
Also, 0 is harder because you control two characters and the inventory management is a bit stricter (No chests, just the two inventories and the entire environment == more backtracking for beginners)- And in general, RE1 is my favorite part.

Don't play RE0 without an item box mod as it makes 0 way worse without it.

It's just a matter of adjusting or getting used to it. Everything around you is a box, you can see the objects on the map (once touched), but you have to walk to them.

That's time wasted backtracking that didn't need to happen. I won't ever play 0 without that item box mod.

Okay, I will play RE1 first.

Stange all RE games I have played including OG2 and 3 had the"magical"item box for storing items.

Yeah, it was a stupid decision but it was done with the intention of using both characters separately.

I always have wondered, how people did solve the puzzle with the code in RE0. On the internet I see only a straight code answer.

RE0 was not meant to be anyone's first RE game. It was designed mainly for players already experienced with the classic RE formula.

It added some twists to the gameplay, knowing that a lot of the fan base had already played RE1, 2, 3, and Code Veronica by the time RE0 came out.

I'd suggest 0 first because it takes place first. You're also going to hate not having an item box once you get used to it.

Thats makes sense. RE0 ment to be played first after its release.
