Resident Evil Village
GameOn Magazine|Issue 140 - June 2021
The Resident Evil franchise is a series that hasn't been afraid to push itself into new directions. What started as a survival horror game with minor action elements was turned around with the arrival of Resident Evil 4, and then pushed out into action-adventure territories even more so with RE5 and RE6. This was followed by a harsh pull back into almost pure survival horror with the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7. It’s been four years since the last major release for the franchise, and March this year saw the 25th Anniversary for the series' inception. In that time, Capcom has made a lot of strides, and Resident Evil Village is the ultimate culmination of what Resident Evil should be, hand-picking the greatest aspects of the series into a single, well-oiled machine.

Resident Evil Village puts us back into the shoes of Ethan Winters and his frankly disturbing ability to survive an ungodly number of life-ending injuries over the course of just 24 hours. Set several years after the conclusion of RE7, Village introduces us to an Ethan that is still trying to recover and come to terms with what happened. This is made no easier as he tries to raise a daughter and navigate through his grief with his wife Mia, who seems a little bit too happy to just forget about it all and move on like it never happened. This not-so-idyllic life is made even-less-so-idyllic when series regular Chris Redfield smashes through Ethan’s door like he mistook it for a boulder and proceeds to separate the married couple and take off with their baby daughter, Rose. Ethan is taken also, but when trouble on the road causes his transport to spin out, Ethan is once again thrust headfirst into a whole world of crazy that he must quickly adjust to if he wants to get his daughter back.
