Here is a snippet of MP1st’s review of the game, which gave it an 8.5/10 score.
While I don’t believe that Village has the greatest story for a Resident Evil game, everything else about it helps makes it standout as one of the more worthier titles. With stellar combat, and a world that is easy to get lost in with it’s beauty, Village feels like a huge step for the franchise. I am a bit bum that there is no VR support like RE7, but this did allow the team to really give the game their all on a technical level. It feels like a true next-gen experience, even on the older systems. Plenty to love about Village, and with multiple playthroughs under my belt, I just don’t see how anyone can skip out on this gem. To me, this feels like the evolutionary step that Resident Evil 2 took from the first game, only for Resident Evil 7. The first-person perspective is proven, and here to stay for the long haul.
The new Resident Evil Village Gold Edition and the Winters’ Expansion are now available for pre-order. Both are releasing on October 28, 2022, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam.
