Release or chronological: which order is best?

First time through, watch in release order. That is how the twists, returning characters and callbacks were built to land, and later entries assume you have seen the earlier ones. On a rewatch, try story order. It turns A Quiet Place into one continuous story and makes the prequels play as setup instead of backstory.
