New to the series, just beat and absolutely loved Resident Evil 2 Remake.

Theres a huge sale on the entire franchise right now and im wondering if 4-8 are more just action games, which is fine but not what im in the mood for.

Ive never heard of RE being referred to as "Mertoidvania".

If youre talking about games with fixed angles and back tracking, the older titles are what you are looking for. Revelations 1 and 2 are also pretty good.

4 5 and 6 are action games with bad puzzles. 7 wanders between linear and trying to capture the classic style but by the time you get towards the later half of the game it starts becoming pretty straight forward

It's more point and click puzzle game than Metroidvania

1 specifically places you in situations where you need x weapon or x (trigger) to get past the area (besides keys obv)

the rest of the them dont really do that at all

I mean, aside from side scrolling it seemed like RE2 had all the elements I usually associate with metroidvania games (real time single location explored and unlocked over time as you defeat certain enemies and gain new weapons, items and abilities).

True.

Also, great job beating the game the entire place is exploding now. You need to platform out to the surface.

You don't really gain new abilities, you just get keys to unlock new areas. That's really what keeps it from being a Metroidvania.

Depending on the game, there's sometimes not all that much backtracking either.

7 has some. 8 has a lot in the hub area. Some is for getting key items but it's mostly for extra ammo/upgrades.
