Resident Evil Village takes the series to new heights

Resident Evil Village puts us back in the shoes of Resident Evil 7's Ethan Winters, whose search for his baby daughter leads him to a remote village in Eastern Europe. We also heard it'll tell a story that takes place after"Resident Evil 4" from the story's timeline. If you need even more Resident Evil, a number of this console game's signature personalities are coming to Dead From Daylight. Merely a tease of this crossover was revealed for now, with the full details to be shared on May 25 when the Dead By Daylight team hosts its very own show.

Resident Evil Village restarts the franchise

Players will be able to experience survival terror like never before from what is a major installment of the storied Resident Evil franchise - Resident Evil Village. Focusing on a couple of the multiple weapons readily available can get you a long way. I found Resident Evil: Village to be among the best PS5 horror games but it is a game that may attract players who enjoy first-person shooter games as well. Early rumors that were correct about the Eastern European setting, Castles, and werewolves, additionally noted three playable characters, in addition to hallucinations, occultism, and insanity playing part.

Resident Evil Village restarts the franchise

Resident Evil: Village has a complex story. From what I've pieced together, the timeline appears to be this: Ethan arrives at the village as a captive or stowaway in one of Chris Redfield's vehicles and flows when it crashes; he explores the village, has been advised Rose is within the castle and tries to get in, but is caught by Heisenberg and meets Mother Miranda, Dimitrescu, Moreau and Beneviento; he then escapes and gets indoors Dimitrescu's castle to face her... That is probably the first 3-4 hours of this game and all Capcom's revealed so far appear to fit inside that progression.

Resident Evil Village has found its ground

There is an obvious"Resident Evil 4" feel to the place along with the lavish camp of Dimitrescu and her castle, but one hint suggests we have not really seen the real video game. A brief glance at a map of D castle shows it is much smaller than the primary house in Resident Evil 7. Combined with the other figures - Heisenberg, Moreau, Beneviento, and Mother Miranda - who all have their own territories and are clearly boss struggle to be, along with a complete Resident Evil Village map which shows 12 named locations across an open world set up, and it seems like we have barely seen any of what's to come. 

Resident Evil Village has found its ground

As the videogame's ESRB rating confirms, you'll also face "werewolves, ghouls, mutants, and mechanical humanoids." None of this is especially surprising if you have been paying attention to the trailers and specifics, but it's funny nonetheless to read all of the gruesome details listed in such a transactional fashion.  Still, while this ought to be an ideal mix - and frequently it is - Resident Evil Village is let down at times by its own lack of shudder-inducing horror and generally anticlimactic boss struggles, with some key story beats feeling as though they have been shoehorned in at the conclusion instead of gradually teased out throughout the videogame.
