I have not played any horror games since Amnesia: The Dark Descent, so I was quite dubious before delving into this game. Nonetheless, this game did indeed exceed my expectations. I truly loved every second of it, and I did not feel bored for one second (only when I was too perplexed when doing the puzzles, but those problems never got too egregious). The eerie atmosphere and tattered zombies cohere exceptionally well, creating an incredibly immersive setting.
Every time I talk about video games with my friends, I always recommended this game; it is a great icebreaker to the Resident Evil franchise if you have not played them (I had not).
I gave this game 10/10 though it is not flawless; however, for what video games are and represent today with microtransactions and battle royals, this game gratified my need to play a GOOD single player game.

The first review I ever wrote on a game was Resident Evil 2, which I also gave a 10/10. It's been some time since I wrote that review, but after having played Resident Evil Village a year after its initial release, it thought it would be appropriate to return with yet another review on this franchise.
I'll start off with saying that although I am more a fan of the third-person gameplay of Resident Evil 2 and 3, I found the change to first-person quite refreshing and immersive. The setting and gameplay compliment the first-person perspective in a way that adequately augments the horror aspects. Although I found RE 2 and 3 quite scary, they did not actually stir up genuine dread in me; the first-person aspect does that!
I found the length of the game fitting, and I like that fact that the RE games aren't that long. It makes the experience more enjoyable since you are not in a rush to complete it.
This game checks off all of the RE boxes: good gameplay, fantastic immersion, decent puzzles, and keeps the player invested. However, unfortunately, like all most other RE games, the storytelling is horrific and cringe. Some of the voice actors, the main protagonist especially, sound like they are voicing a budget anime series. It is awful and cringe, yet unabashedly hilarious. The pistols were disappointing, and I found the sound of the guns firing rather dull.
The game looks amazing and plays well. Don't play it for the story, and try to avoid the DLC if you want to save your money, unless you want to try the new third-person mode. Would definitely recommend :)
8.5/10
