Gamers Clash Over Whether Release Order Beats Chronological Play in Franchises

Tray posted that no game franchise benefits from being played in chronological order over release order. Metalik replied that Yakuza 0 is an exception because it was deliberately made as a starter game. ShawnRazor cited Halo Reach and Red Dead Redemption as series that can be played chronologically without losing anything. SyPoNecroCDi pointed to Final Fantasy, where release order is preferred and chronological order is not feasible for most entries. KJpixel14 added that Metroid Zero Mission works well as an entry point.
