I played 1-4 back in the day, but my memory of the details is pretty fuzzy. Something something Umbrella releases a new virus like iPhones every few years, something something, somehow Wesker returned.

Anyway, I hear 7 is kind of a soft reboot? Is that a good one to get back into the series with, and not have to know 12 games of plot?

And if 7 is good, does 8/Village follow directly from that without needing too much prior game knowledge?

7 is a soft reboot and it's really good, I think it's a good starting point. 8 continues from 7, and neither games mention anything from the first 6 games. The only returning character is Chris Redfield, and only as a side character that you see 1% of the time
