Keys and Resident Evil games are like peanut butter and jelly. For our money, though, it is just a slightly weaker entry than what its predecessor offered. Depending on how much you value actual horror (and that nervousness that comes with entering a room with just a few bullets left and no healing items) versus satisfying gunplay, exploration, and upgrades, you might swap this game’s placement with 7. This is a somewhat shorter experience, even by Resident Evil standards, but proves that the shift to first-person can work for even a more action-focused entry in the series. Thankfully, Lady D, as well as the other lords you encounter, provide more than enough interesting personalities to carry you along.

Ethan Winters also makes a return and is markedly the blandest character in the game. If Resident Evil 7 was what one of the original three Resident Evil games might look like if shifted into a first-person perspective, Resident Evil Village is that same concept applied to Resident Evil 4. That alone makes it either a perfect fit for RE fans or more of a miss depending on how much you value horror elements compared to action.
