"Throughout its long history, the Resident Evil series has continued to transform itself. After originally beginning with fixed cameras and plenty of horror mixed with a bit of camp, Resident Evil 4 saw the shift to an over-the-shoulder more action based take on the series that continued to grow in scale with each new entry before Capcom took perhaps the biggest change the series saw so far four years ago with Resident Evil 7: biohazard focusing almost entirely on horror and bringing players right into the action in a first-person perspective.
Now with Resident Evil Village Capcom is once again taking a bit of a different approach as the company has now chosen to blend these elements together. With solid levels of horror in a first-person perspective combined with some of the camp that the original entries in the series were known for and more action than before, is this a worthwhile entry in this ever changing series?"
Resident Evil has always toed the line between action and traditional survival horror, and Resident Evil Village offers a great balance.
RE franchise is my favourite, it’s so awesome. There’s so much variety and many great games. That is why i hope we’ll get at least one more RE with first person perspective. I want that RE7 experienece one more time! The RE9 director is the same one as RE7 so i’m expecting it to be amazing.
I loved the similarities between Village and RE4. I guess the main thing that felt similar is they both seem like sprawling “villages” and the action was well balanced. Both incredible games in VR too.

The shadows of rose DLC (REvillage) mannequin section is definitely top 10 worthy but is missing...
Resident Evil Villages sales numbers helped the videogame series hit a staggering 157 million sales 28 years after Resident Evil came out.
Lol I doubt iPhone contributed much to that figure, the vast majority would have been PS5 and PC.
Yeah, of course the mobile sites are going to make news out of the couple digit in-the-thousands or so downloads as a major contribution. The original story was that Village hit the 10 million mark across all the platforms, nice for mobile fans to take it up a serious notch like it was due on behalf of mobile.
