Resident Evil Village

After a nice trip to hell (Louisiana), we find ourselves back into the boots of Ethan Winters, survivor extraordinaire. There's a nice recap for Biohazard and then the story starts off. I'm currently playing the game on an Xbox One X and it looks absolutely stunning. The village itself is a treat to wander through, with Castle Dimitrescu lurking on the snowy horizon. What really impressed me, both with Biohazard and Village, is the detail in indoor settings. Everything, from the decorations, to lighting and furniture, is beautiful when you're wandering the castle. The underground chasms of the castle are just as much fun to explore.

There was mild concern, on my part, that this game wouldn't be scary. Boy, was I wrong. I've scared people and pets in my house from yelling out of terror. Sometimes it'll be a jump scare and sometimes it'll be a hot 9'6" vampire chasing and calling your name. Either way, your palms will sweat and you'll yell for Ethan to hurry as you're pursued by scary enemies.

This game is a great addition to the Resident Evil series and as a longtime fan, I'm so happy. I hope the team at Capcom are kicking their feet on their desks and drinking Bloody Mary. Thank you for another great game!

This game was so amazing from the characters, the setting, the gameplay etc. This game is heavily inspired by Resident Evil 7 and 4 and it could not be better, definitely looking forward to the next game in the franchise.

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.

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.

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.
