Best of the Year Arkade 2021: Resident Evil Village – Arkade


The series Resident Evil was at its lowest point after the release of Resident Evil 6, years ago, when he completely abandoned Survival Horror in favor of rampant action. But everything changed after the release of Resident Evil 7, which got the series back on track once again, starting a new era of great releases, until finally arriving in Resident Evil Village.

Following the first-person formula of Resident Evil 7, the new chapter of the series shows the end of the story of Ethan Winters (That’s not spoiler!), this time trying to survive in a village hidden in the snowy mountains in the depths of Europe.

One of the main points of the game is its connection with the series’ past, being totally inspired by Resident Evil 4 in its settings, with an abandoned village infested by biological weapons, here in the form of lycans, vampires and other grotesque creatures.

Furthermore, Resident Evil Village brought something even bigger (literally), bringing the “vampire” into the world Lady Dimitrescu, who despite having only a short time in the game, scored in such a way that even his interpreter, Maggie Roberts, was awarded for best performance in the game.
