Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil? (lemmy.world)

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?

I enjoyed Resident Evil as a teenager, then came number 4 which I played, but didn’t enjoy.

I played number 5 with a friend as it was one of the few coop games available but I didn’t like it.

When number 7 came out, everyone praised it. I hated it and decided that Resident Evil really wasn’t for me anymore despite loving number 1, 0 and Code Veronica.
