Resident Evil Village is a masterclass in how marketing misdirection can keep the element of surprise in an era plagued with leaks and spoilers. But following an incident at their new home, Rose is kidnapped and Ethan finds himself in a devout village in the middle of nowhere, desperate to find Rose. Fortunately, if you haven’t played Resident Evil 7 (or forget what happened) Resident Evil Village gives you a rundown of what occurred in its predecessor.Īfter defeating Eveline and being saved from the Baker home bloodbath by Chris Redfield and Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), Ethan and his wife Mia have moved to Eastern Europe where the BSAA has promised to protect the couple and their newborn baby, Rose. Resident Evil Village follows on from the events of Resident Evil 7 - taking place a few years later. A well-paced story that doesn’t outstay its welcome.The only downside is that the playable Maiden demo isn’t available on PC. Plus, the online multiplayer game, Resident Evil Re:Verse, is included when you purchase this one. It offers a whole new intriguing plot in an altogether-different setting and showcases beloved gameplay mechanics, as well as gorgeous graphical overhauls from the RE Engine. Resident Evil Village may be continuing a previous story but that doesn’t make it any less stellar when compared to past RE games. The graphics have been thoroughly enhanced, though. Much of the gameplay is the same, but the inventory system here is notably similar to RE4’s. However, the reappearance of someone familiar to the couple sets off a chain of events that lead to a whole new nightmare. The story is set a few years after the events of RE7, wherein Ethan and Mia are now living peacefully in a snowy remote location. In this title, you play in the first-person perspective again and control Ethan Winters, the protagonist of the previous game.
This gameplay style had been a divergence from the action-shooter genre of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 and instead, had been a return to the original games’ survival horror focus on exploration. Resident Evil Village, also known as “ Resident Evil 8”, follows up on both of RE7’s storyline and gameplay.
