Resident Evil Village

I'm not going to lie, I was having hard time rating this game to 8 or 9 stars. This was a direction I didn't expect Capcom to take the series, and I wasn't on board with it at first but it grew on me. Resident Evil Village is, so far, one of the best video games of 2021. I always see the Resident Evil series having a story but focus on the little things and mostly focusing on the aspects of their games, RE VIII is has more story that balanced out the horror and action to its gameplay. It's one of the most interesting but bizarre experience to be ever play. There are some moments in the game where you'll be feeling like you're playing a different game which drags on for awhile and parts of the story will start giving you more questions with little answers to which is kinda the reason why I rated this game 8 stars. This was a fun Resident Evil game in the main series with a lot of replayability and seems like Capcom is creating a saga that will continue in future titles and I can't wait to see what they do next.

This game and RE4 are rather similar, having elements of a village, a castle and somewhat of an island and definitely retains the horror a bit more even with the added third person mode all the feelings of RE4 are there, again this is a love letter to RE4, but it's a good love letter, Capcom knew to show their love for the game and they did it in the best way possible.

This game embodies everything a Resident Evil fan like me wants. A great use of survival horror, jumpscares, conservation of items, creepy characters and awesome boss fights. It's a perfect summation of everything that works about Resident Evil as a series. It tweaks and embraces these elements, all packed into one efficient, engrossing and utterly horrifying set of challenges. Resident Evil Village is definitely a huge contender for 2021 Game of the Year.

This is an amazing horror game and really brings a breath of fresh air to the franchise and judging by how good this game was it makes me really excited for what they will do with resident evil 4 remake but the one thing that makes this game so good and makes it stand out from the rest is the wide variety of monsters and bosses that keep you at the edge of your seat and make you scared of what will happen next if you have the opportunity to play this game u definitely should.

I'm going to go ahead and say that Resident Evil is one of my favorite game franchises out there and the remakes, while not perfect, were definitely a joy to play through. The Resident Evil movies are awful and ruined the image of the franchise for most people. Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil 2 Remake tried and succeeded at bringing the franchise's core elements to a massive and wider audience. And now we have Resident Evil Village, a game that not only allowed me to view this series with another eye, but allowed me to come and realize that this series has truly redeemed itself.

Resident Evil Village combines elements from Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil 4, and they have done a magnificently great job. The storytelling in this game is horrifying and reminded me a lot of The Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. The gameplay is addictive and feels easy for both old fans and newer fans. The atmosphere is definitely horror-filled and immersive. The voice acting is really good; it's like watching a new horror show that isn't cringe-worthy and lifeless. The music is satisfying to listen to, and it's one of the best soundtracks I've heard from this franchise.

It feels original and the replay-value is high with this game. Resident Evil Village is definitely a huge contender for 2021 Game of the Year. A lot of Resident Evil content over the years made it to the Game Awards. That alone makes me happy for the future of this franchise and what the future has in store for future horror games. This game is awesome and certainly worth your time and money!
