Tomorrow marks the release of Resident Evil Village, the tenth mainline title from the now 25-year-old franchise and the direct sequel of Resident Evil 7.
The survival horror game sees the return of Resident Evil 7 protagonist Ethan Winters, whose adventures now take him to a mysterious European village where he must survive vampires and other supernatural threats.
The critical response has been positive so far. As it stands, Resident Evil Village has a Metacritic average of 84%, or generally favorable reviews. For comparison, Resident Evil 7 has a Metacritic score of 86%. Resident Evil Village is a worthy successor to the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7, said TechRadar s Vic Hood in her 4/5 review. Village builds on it with an experience that draws from all the best moments of the series. Capcom has finally found the formula that promises to thrill veteran fans of Resident Evil, while taking some much-needed risks in the process.
It s challenging to introduce Returnal without immediately mentioning the debate around difficulty it has sparked.
Like Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice in 2019, and many other games before it, Housemarque s roguelike third-person shooter shipped with only one difficulty level and sparked an intense debate among press and consumers alike.
Needless to say that the difficulty level in question is far from being user-friendly.
The Washington Post s reviewer, Gene Park, actually didn t score the game because he wasn t able to make it to the second area of the game in time for publication. I can t call this a review, he wrote. I didn t get very far in Returnal, and it s not for lack of trying. The game is tough for me and I play Dark Souls to relax.
