Jun 8, 2021“Hamlet isn’t (quite) dead.” Capcom has worked tremendously hard to turn this Resident Evil Village into the new spearhead of action-horror games. Technically flawless and carefully paced, the experience never runs out of steam even though sometimes, we’d like to stop and enjoy the scenery to find all the secrets it hides. This opus definitely sends the previous one back to its scrappy status by brilliantly taking over the first-person view and its characteristics to generate great moments of stress and fear. The in-game breaks are well managed and the build-up to the inevitably gritty and unsubtle finale is not a disappointment here: far from it. Doing better than this in the future will be no easy task, but at least when putting the controller down, we thought about how memorable this experience had been and how we’d like to go for seconds.
