What Resident Evil games are in the main series
I just completed the 4th resident evil game. Now I am on a bit of a Resident Evil hype and want to play more games. Something that bothered me was not understanding all the relations that characters had with each other. Therefor I am looking to play more of them. I have however trouble identifying which games belong to the "Main series".
To further clarify. I mean games that directly tie into events regarding the Resident Evil Universe. So a spin-off game that really isn't a fully fledged standalone game but more a quick add-on does not qualify (unless it has actual canon to the main series). I am also looking for those that can be played on the PC. (yes Remasters are fine as long as they are on PC).
I know game identification is not allowed but I feel like this falls outside that spectrum. If people disagree I will remove the question .

Oh yeah, quick edit. I must also mention the daughters DLC for RE7. It’s a prequel dlc to the main game.
And yes, I mentioned all the dlc’s here because they are essentially extensions to the main games themselves. I recommend playing them.
