A truly excellent game. The story, gameplay, and atmosphere are all phenomenal.

The story is fantastic. It links nicely the events of RE7 and you'll even find out a little bit more about the RE universe in general while playing. My jaw dropped when learning more about the RE lore through this game.

Gameplay is almost identical to RE7 - first person, blocking. However, this game takes elements from RE4 like a merchant, the ability to buy and sell items and weapon upgrades, treasures, and my personal favorite: that key items no longer take up inventory slots.

The different areas you need to traverse in this game are unique and each one has its own charm. From an aesthetic point of view, there are some really beautiful scenes and areas in RE Village.

The gunplay is fun. Weapon variety is present, but the end-game weapons are the clear winners here.

NG+ is an option after completing the game, so you can go and try to max certain weapons and go for infinite ammo to take on the dreaded Village of Shadows difficulty.

The one annoying thing I find about this game are that the enemies can be really jittery sometimes and jump around especially on harder difficulties, but I guess that's a "get good" moment.

Overall, I highly recommend this game. Probably GOTY 2021. Get in now especially while it's on sale.
