Lady Dimitrescu is probably the most developed, making the castle section the best part of the game. Mother Miranda and her children are fascinating, and I was excited to find additional documents throughout the game that expanded upon their biologies and motivations. “ It’s one of the scariest sections I’ve experienced in a game, and I loved every freaky second of it.“Īs interesting as Ethan is in this game, the villains are the most appealing part of the story. You learn things about Ethan that explain a lot about both of his games and leads to an emotionally satisfying ending that leaves a lot of room for future titles. He feels less like an avatar and more like a developed person this time around, though you still never see his face. You can feel Ethan’s desperation to save Rose throughout the game, and it makes him feel more relatable than he did previously. I really enjoyed the story’s scope, as it felt personal to Ethan despite the larger scale compared to biohazard.
Ethan has to try to save his child while battling the malicious Mother Miranda and her four freaky “children.” Yes, one of those children is the tall vampire lady, though she’s only the main villain for the first third or so. Things go wrong very fast, as Chris Redfield seemingly betrays Ethan while Rose is kidnapped and taken to an ominous village filled with Lycans and other ghoulish creatures. A few years after the events of biohazard, Ethan and his wife Mia have moved to Europe and had a child, named Rose, as they try to leave behind the horrific events that took place in Louisiana. In Village, you once again play as Ethan Winters, though this time around he has a good deal of character to him. Thankfully Village takes what worked from Resident Evil 7 and makes it even better, while mixing in more of the absurdity that makes the series so memorable. I especially enjoyed the direction that Resident Evil 7 began to go in, so I was excited to see how Village built upon biohazard ’s shot at first-person horror.
I love almost everything about Resident Evil, from the main games to the spinoffs to the character appearances in Marvel vs Capcom. MonsterVine was provided with a PS5 code for review. Platforms: PS5 (reviewed), PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC If you’re fond of genuine horror and wonderfully cheesy weirdness, look no further than Village. There are a couple parts that drag on, but overall, Village is a concise and frightening experience that pulls you in and refuses to let go. Resident Evil Village is an excellent horror game and a strong next step for the Resident Evil franchise.
