Reviews on 'Resident Evil Village' So Far

The 10th installment of the popular "Resident Evil" video game franchise, "Resident Evil Village," was released yesterday, May 7.

It's been a day since the release of the game, and reviews have slowly poured in. Currently, it has a 9/10 rating on the gaming library and platform, Steam. Gaming news website IGN gave the game an 8/10. According to Tristan Ogilvie's review, "Resident Evil Village might not break much new ground in its own right, but it successfully grafts Resident Evil 4's best action elements onto the series' more modern form established in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, making for a genuinely engrossing and increasingly combat-heavy continuation of the Ethan Winters story."

Other netizens commented that the game is just so good, it feels that the game is sure to have a nomination in the major game awarding events like GOTY.

"Resident Evil Village" is now available in both physical and digital game stores. It is available to play on the following platforms: Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S, and in Stadia. The game took three and a half years of development. It is developed and published by CAPCOM, directed by Morimasa Sato, and produced by Tsuyoshi Kanda, Peter Fabiano, and Masachika Kawata.

The game is a narrative sequel to the 2017 game "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" and takes place three years later from the previous game.

"Resident Evil Village" is still centered on "Resident Evil 7" protagonist Ethan Winters as he's been living together with his wife Mia and newborn daughter Rosemary. Suddenly, Chris Redfield and his companions appear and murder his wife. He then kidnaps Chris together with his daughter, Rosemary. They were then taken to a European village that is located in Transylvania, Romania. In order to save his daughter's life, it is up to Ethan to explore the city and find Rosemary.
