This game takes place three years after the events of the game Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017), a game I had fun playing and thought it was one of the best games in the Resident Evil Series, but now we have this eighth installment as the conclusion of the story for Ethan Winters from the previous game; after playing, I can say that this eighth entry was just as great as the game before it making it worth a playthrough. The eighth installment Resident Evil Village (2021) was a fun and creepy time with more likable characterization to the main character, fantastic graphics, easy to understand gameplay mechanics, an investing story, and effective antagonists; this game kept the first-person point of view, like the previous game, so it got me invested and made me feel like I was Ethan going through these many horrific situations.
The character Ethan Winters has more likable characterization than he did in the game before this, with him being forced to look for his daughter that was taken and brought somewhere to a village, and while playing you can feel his determination to find his daughter by going through everything being thrown at him that is supposed to get in his way or just try to kill him; also, there is something going on involving Ethan's wife Mia and the character Chris Redfield that I will not spoil because it involves a major reveal. The four lords and lead mother you must deal with in the village and other locations were creepy and disturbing, and they have quite a few effective scares with you having to hide from them making a lot of suspense; each lord has a certain ability that can be a pain to go up against with them hunting you down and trying to kill you in brutal ways, leading to you having to hide and use certain weapons that can be effective when fighting back.
The game was creepy and disturbing with highly effective scares and effective sound design when walking around the village and other locations, along with the locations having a very unsettling and creepy vibe, mainly the snowy village, making the game very investing to play; the graphics look nice and are exceptionally smooth and fluid moving with fun looking combat scenes, creepy looking monsters, and eerie looking locations that can effectively hide monsters in the dark or in ways to scare you. The use of the first-person point of view again got me invested in this game like the previous game, and it gave me a fun experience when going through the game from beginning to end, along with easy-to-use gameplay mechanics and new elements to the game; the game sticks with the horror focus but also makes a good balance between that and the action scenes that will occur while playing. Lastly, you are also solving equally challenging puzzles, which there are more of than in the earlier game, with them being spread out around the village and other locations, along with lots of locked doors to open.
The game Resident Evil Village (2021) was fun and creepy to play like the last game, it did freak me out most of my playthrough with its great looking graphics, highly effective scares, easy to use gameplay mechanics, and antagonists that were highly effective when it came to being scary and disturbing; along with the new first-person point of view getting me immersed into the game while playing it. I will end my review by saying that this eighth installment is another favorite of mine in the Resident Evil video game series, and I highly recommend it for those who loved the previous installment and for those who are on board for whatever comes out next for the Resident Evil series; this game was fun to play, and I will play this game again to see if I missed in any minor details in the story, so go and play this game whenever you have the time for an enjoyable experience.
