Should I play Res Evil 1 before 2?

[davidm71]

Hi,

Never got into the whole Resident Evil thing but as Resident Evil 2 HD Remaster is getting good reviews should I or do I need to play part I first?

Thanks

I don't think it's necessary. You could just watch a recap on YouTube or something.

It’s not needed.
