Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village continues the story of Ethan from the seventh part, and the Roman numeral embedded in the title suggests that this is the eighth numbered game in the series. After escaping from a cannibal mansion, Ethan and his wife Mia move away from the American wilderness. The quiet life ends quickly: the hero loses his family again and finds himself in a village inhabited by werewolves, vampires and other creatures. Local lands are divided between four lords, and each lives in his own estate with his own orders. The merchant accepts the treasures found and sells the weapon, and for a fee improves its characteristics. Riddles with keys and mechanisms coexist with chases and house defense. Battles have become more varied: weapons are upgraded from a merchant, and inventory is limited to cells, which is why you take only what you need with you. Shelters, basements and mysteries coexist with chases and big shootouts. The lords' estates differ from each other: somewhere there are swamps, somewhere there is a factory and mechanisms, and somewhere there is a quiet house with dolls. The addition added a story from another person and expanded the challenge mode. The atmosphere is deliberately reminiscent of classic parts: the castle, dungeons and misty forest look like a modern version of familiar settings. The addition showed a different side to the story, and the mercenary mode brought back time trials. Side quests reveal the life of the village and the stories of its inhabitants, and they give out materials for trading. You don't have to go through everything in one go, but exploration is rewarded. For everyone who follows the series, this village promises a lot.
