Kotaku’s own Ian Walker, who is fresh off reviewing
Resident Evil Village. We barrage him with questions both salient and inane, and he gamely answers. Wanna know how big of a part of the game Tall Lady actually is? Well, here you go. Also, if you’re curious about
Resident Evil 4 similarities (I know I am), we talk about that at length too.
