Resident Evil Village is another excellent addition to the series, for the most part.

Resident Evil Village pulls a heavy influence of the action-heavy elements of Resident Evil 4 and mixes it with the design approach of Resident Evil 7. They brought back the looping level design from RE7 and the classic titles but with some tweaks on the more action-heavy focus. Does it work in Resident Evil Village? For the most part, it does, although some areas of Resident Evil Village fall a bit short.

From the differences between Village and RE7, you can see Capcom listened to a lot of the feedback on the criticisms people had about RE7.

That said, there are some ways that Resident Evil Village addresses this feedback that worked, some where they still missed the mark, and in other areas, created issues that weren't there in RE7.

Compared to its predecessors, there are numerous shifts in focus and in tone within Resident Evil Village, sometimes for the better, and yet sometimes to its detriment. The plot is grander with higher stakes that again, are sometimes for the better, and sometimes to the detriment.

While it doesn't quite hit the highs of RE4 or some of the classic titles, I did overall find it more enjoyable than RE7, even if Village was a less cohesive title.

In this Resident Evil Village review/analysis/critique, we'll look through the game, what it does well, its shortcomings, thoughts on the plot, musings about future DLCs, mercenaries mode, and the future of the Resident Evil franchise.

  • @willgoodall1529
    The best part was when the sleeve of his jacket reattached perfectly too
  • @fungusman3046
    If DOOM is "man literally too angry to die", then RE: Village is "Father literally too loving to die"
  • @AD_Nelson
    I legit can't get over how Heisenberg says "Ugly Psycho Doll" like a Super Smash Bros announcer.
  • The ending said "the story of the father is done" or something like that, so Im pretty sure Rose will be the next protagonist. Japanese devs tend to be poetic, so Ethan's final cutscene not being first person might mean that his legacy of being the FPS RE guy is done. Might also explain why the game is so obsessed with the word "Winters". Japanese devs love the sh*t out of their english symbolisms. Naming a dead man with the last and coldest season of the year is pretty straight forward.
  • Say what you will about Moreau, but the fact you can find him crying, eating cheese and watching a romance movie really gives him a special place in my heart
  • @SneaksBL
    I think the reason why the serum didn’t work from Ethan is because when it came to mia and the bakers they were alive when they got infected. But when it came to Ethan he was killed and then the mold brought him back to life, so maybe that’s why it works differently.
  • @Archivist42
    Seeing the Baby for the first time is one of those gaming moments I’ll never forget.
  • @ADog-pf1lt
    However stupid some character decisions were, I really liked how Chris was portrayed as dealing with his mistakes. You can tell he’s devastated.
  • @Pwnarbullen
    I liked Chris in Village. A common side effect of steroids is lower cognitive functions, so now that he's back on the juice it makes sense for him to not be as smart as in 7.
  • @F3nd3rGaming
    My only issue is that you keep calling him Ethan....Its Chad Winters
  • @aaronlaplace5902
    Ah yes the second installment in the “fuck Ethan’s hand” saga
  • @dile3725
    What I wanna know is what the hell was Chris’ squad doing while Ethan was taking out the lords one by one, alone?? They apparently spent years doing recon on this place, and Ethan just storms in and brute forces it in like a day, ALONE.
  • @andreaswong8829
    I'm just surprised Chris had a squad which didn't end up dying
  • I really liked Moreau and Heisenberg as characters. Moreau is truly a tragic and sad character who you can tell truly just seeks approval of Mother Miranda and the “no no no no no” note really hit with me. Heisenberg is really interesting too because he’s basically fed up with Miranda and doesn’t seem to worship her like the other characters do and just calls her “Miranda.” Side note: A lot of people complain about the factory but it’s by far my favorite area of the game with the engaging enemies and how they change up your approach and especially the Wolfenstein reboot/ Frankensteins army designs and I liked maneuvering around dangerous equipment. Not sure why the hate but I loved it.
  • @kasumichanxx8390
    I REALLY REALLY hope they don’t bring Ethan Back he had a badass way to go and is def a memorable character it would throw it all to waste if he came back cause of video game magic
  • @michakolaska6954
    I think that far better explanation of why didn't Chris say Ethan anything would be if Chris knew that Ethan is actually molded. That way the would want to keep secrets from Ethan in case he is telepatically connected to Megamycete, as they would not want to alert Miranda.
  • @Observedwalnut75
    It was clear moreau was rushed, and kind of beneviento as well. I also felt that we should have got to fight Heisenberg with his hammer and powers. felt like there was quite a but cut tbh, 9/10 though
  • To anyone complaining this game is too easy play village of shadows difficulty without infinite ammo you’ll be terrified LOL and not hating on anyone who is not up for the challenge but it definitely changes the game
  • @donis495
    My biggest problem with the game was how short Donna and Moreaus sections were. I could kill them both within 30-45 minutes while dimitrescu and heisenburg take significantly longer to kill.
