Resident Evil Village builds from the same foundation as Resident Evil 7. While there are few areas of improvement that evolve the franchise in a positive direction, there are a much larger number of bewildering decisions that ultimately end up hampering it from being a great game.

Capcom continues its first-person streak with its latest horror release, once again sticking players in the bloodied shoes of faceless protagonist Ethan Winters. This time around, Ethan s got to contend with all kinds of creatures from werewolves to witches and almost everything in between.
We gave the game a glorious 9/10 in our full Resident Evil Village PS5 review, stating that it was Capcom s best horror title since the beloved Resident Evil 4, which released a whole 16 years ago. How time flies!
has many huge plot spoilers.

Resident Evil Village has completely and utterly sunk its hooks into me. Between PS5 and Xbox Series X, I m currently preparing for my
sixth playthrough of the game and I easily see several more completions on the horizon.
While later Resident Evil titles like Resident Evil 5 through 7 heavily incentivized multiple playthroughs with new weapons and rewarding unlocks, none of them perfected the formula quite like the newest entry. As our resident Resident Evil nerd, I just can t stop playing. Here s why Resident Evil Village has the best replayability of the entire series and why it s on track to be the game I ve beaten more times than any other.
