Inyo... You said the magic word, so here I am!
Okay!
Do you mind old games with clunky controls?
Then I'll recommend the original 3, they are on GOG now, but only the first one is available to play right now, the others will be released later.
If you don't have the money for them, you could always emulate the PS1 versions.
If you don't like the clunky controls, I would say play the Remake of 2, 3 and 4.
They have the more modern over the shoulder controls scheme. NEVER PAY FULL PRICE FOR 3! It's not worth it.
If you're more into first person perspective, then 7 and 8 are fine choices.
They tried something there, and in my opinion it worked. You should play 7 before 8 though, since their story kinda fits together.
Sorry, kinda long, but wanted to give you as much insight as possible, if you have any question about them, please ask

I tried to make it as read friendly for you as possible Inyo!
