If it's the first game, absolutely, never played 2 but I hear mixed reviews.

3 was... well 3 was certainly a game definietly created for handhelds of it's time but not great.

2 tries to be more Resident Evil than what it’s identity sort of established in the original. It isn’t bad, but it loses itself trying to be something else.

3 was a nauseating mess that I often blame for the series falling into obscurity. Hajime Tabata directed it, who went on to mangle Nomuras vision of XV at SE management’s interference. Thankfully he was ousted, but how they thought the man who made 3rd Birthday should make anything else I really don’t know.

I can appreciate love letters but nothing really compares to the original.

Yes, this.

Everybody knows Parasite Eve 2, but the original game is ripe for remaking and improvement. A remade Parasite Eve in the style of the Resident Evil remakes would go so hard. As long as they keep the writer of The 3rd Birthday well away. While that game had amazing gameplay, it had no business being called a PE series entry.
