The result is a survival horror game that remains grounded, while representing one of the bigger visual and narrative shifts in Resident Evil's history. Capcom deftly blended that soft reboot with Resident Evil 4, one of the best games in the franchise. PCMag's Mike Williams noted in his 4/5 review, 'If you liked Resident Evil 7, then Village is the follow-up that you shouldn't miss. They're both just ways to get your blood pumping.' And while it induces both creeping dread and righteous fury, its biggest triumph is in not-so-quietly arguing that horror and action aren't that different after all. It's definitely an action game, and despite all the shooting, it's also a horror game. 'That's the cycle that Resident Evil Village keeps chasing: the hesitation, anticipation, and payoff that make both action and horror such powerful draws. Suriel Vazquez agreed in his recommended review for Polygon. And that's true whether you're a veteran or a brand new Resi fan.'

'Resident Evil Village is not to be missed.

Capcom has finally found the formula that promises to thrill veteran fans of Resident Evil, while taking some much-needed risks in the process.' 'Village builds on it with an experience that draws from all the best moments of the series. 'Resident Evil Village is a worthy successor to the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7,' said TechRadar's Vic Hood in her 4/5 review. For comparison, Resident Evil 7 has a Metacritic score of 86%. As it stands, Resident Evil Village has a Metacritic average of 84%, or generally favorable reviews. The critical response has been positive so far. 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.

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.
