It’s safe to say that Resident Evil Village has been a highly anticipated game for 2021. Many fans spent time coming up with theories and trying to decrypt as much information as they could from the plot synopsis, trailers and gameplay demos. With that kind of excitement comes great expectations especially since Resident Evil Village is a direct sequel to the much loved Resident Evil 7. The question that needs to be answered is whether Village meets up to the hype or not.

Resident Evil Village takes place four years after the events at the Baker Estate. Ethan and Mia have moved to a Eastern European country in order to start fresh with their infant daughter, Rose, but the psychological scars of Louisiana still linger for both of them. However, this all comes to a brutal end when Mia is shot dead by series favourite, Chris Redfield, for reasons unknown and takes Rose away.
