A Few Things I Loved About Resident Evil: Village
Note: It wasn’t just the tall lady.
After struggling for almost a year to make it through the harrowing experience of The Last of Us 2 (I’m still not done), I needed to stop and shift toward a more lighthearted game — something that would bring the fun back to my gaming life.
So, naturally, I turned to Resident Evil: Village.
Following a few years after the events of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the story follows Ethan Winters and his wife Mia as they try to deal with the trauma of past events, while building a peaceful life in their new home. Their hopes are dashed, however, when BSAA captain Chris Redfield suddenly attacks them and Ethan is thrust into a new nightmare, fighting to save his kidnapped daughter from the monsters that lurk in a remote mountain village.
As it turned out, Village was exactly the game I need, providing enough cathartic scares and laughs to help me get through stressful days. Here are a few of the reasons why I loved the game.
Mild spoilers ahead.
