A complete review and analysis of the game Resident Evil Village
Alright, let me talk to you honestly — Resident Evil Village is one of those games that grabs you from the first second and tells you, “Sit down, relax… actually no, don’t relax — panic.”
The game mixes horror, action, mystery, Gothic vibes, and crazy boss fights in a way that feels like Capcom telling the world:
“We still run the survival-horror scene, ya gamaaʿa.”
Village is a direct continuation of Resident Evil 7, following our poor guy Ethan Winters, who — let's be real — never gets a break. One minute he thinks life is good, the next minute his daughter is kidnapped, his wife is shot in front of him, and he wakes up in a creepy freezing forest like someone respawned him in the wrong game.
Before we go deeper, let me warn you:
This game is full of “Ya rabbbbi!” moments.
Now grab your coffee… we’re going on a 3000-word ride through the dark heart of the Village.

1. Story: Ethan Winters, the Unluckiest Man Alive
Let’s start with the story.
Ethan’s life looks peaceful after the madness of Resident Evil 7… but of course, peace doesn’t sell horror games.
Suddenly, Chris Redfield barges through the door, shoots Mia like 500 times, and kidnaps Ethan and his daughter. Ethan wakes up in the snow next to a destroyed vehicle, like someone rage-quit the mission.
As soon as he reaches the Village, you instantly feel:
“Ah okay, this place isn’t friendly… at ALL.”
The story is divided into main sections, each run by one of the Four Lords under Mother Miranda — the main villain who looks like she could destroy the whole world before breakfast.
The Lords:
- Lady Dimitrescu – Tall vampire lady everyone online went crazy for.
- Donna Beneviento – The doll woman. If you’re scared of dolls… God help you.
- Salvatore Moreau – Drooling fish-man who desperately needs a dermatologist.
- Heisenberg – Magneto’s cousin with attitude issues.
Each lord controls their own area, with totally different themes, puzzles, and styles of horror.
The storytelling is smooth, exciting, and full of moments where you go:
“La2, mesh maʿool…”
Capcom nailed the pacing:
- Action in one area
- Psychological horror in the next
- Puzzle-heavy sequences afterwards
- Final showdown that feels like a full movie
Ethan’s journey is emotional, terrifying, and sometimes even funny — especially with the merchant Duke, who acts like he owns the Village’s version of Carrefour.

2. Atmosphere & World Design: Gothic Beauty Meets Pure Terror
- One of the strongest aspects of the game is the atmosphere.
- This Village feels alive — well, “alive” in a cursed, terrifying way.
- What makes the world so amazing?
- The snowy landscapes that make you feel cold even in real life.
- The sound of howling Lycans in the distance.
- The old houses full of creaking wood and flickering candles.
- The castle corridors dripping with luxury and blood at the same time.
- The abandoned factory that looks like a nightmare built in metal and oil.
Everything feels handcrafted and connected. Capcom didn’t just give you areas to visit — they gave you a world that breathes and tries to kill you every 5 minutes.

3. Horror Elements: Capcom Really Said “Be Afraid.”
The horror in Village isn’t one type — it's a whole buffet.
Castle Dimitrescu – Gothic Fear with Style
Here you fight vampiric sisters who literally chase you while laughing like they’re having too much fun.
House Beneviento – Psychological Horror Level 1000
Let me be clear:
This section is one of the scariest things Capcom has EVER produced.
You have:
- No weapons
- No way to defend yourself
A giant mutant baby crying “Daadddyy” while crawling after you in the dark
If you didn’t scream here, you're not human.
The Factory – Mechanical Terror
Machines, mutants, sparks, dark hallways…
This area is like someone merged Frankenstein with Transformers.
---
4. Gameplay and Controls: Smooth, Punchy, and Extremely Fun
Gameplay-wise, Village is like Capcom took everything from Resident Evil 7, injected it with steroids, and told it to run faster.
What stands out:
- Shooting feels powerful
- Enemy reactions are realistic
- The crafting system is simple and useful
- Boss fights are cinematic
- Exploration is rewarding
- Resource management is tight but fair
- Puzzles are balanced — not too easy, not too annoying
They even added a blocking system that actually helps you survive.
You’ll constantly switch between fighting, exploring, crafting ammo, solving puzzles, and running like your rent is due.

Ethan Winters
- The man suffers… wallahi he suffers.
- But he keeps going, and you end up respecting him a lot.
Chris Redfield
Mysterious at first, but plays a huge role in the story.

And her castle is one of the best-designed locations in Resident Evil history.
The Duke (Best Merchant Ever?)

10/10 character.

6. Boss Fights: EPIC, Unique, and Full of “Ya Satir” Moments
Let me break it down:
Lady Dimitrescu –
A transformation that will make you say:
“DAH EH DAHHHH?!”
Donna Beneviento
Not a traditional fight…
But the doll hunt sequence?
Legendary.
Moreau
A gross, messy fight that feels like battling a giant mutated sushi.
Heisenberg
Metal, explosions, chaos — Hollywood-level insanity.
Mother Miranda
A final boss worthy of the series, emotional and intense.

The RE Engine is a beast.
The game looks like a horror movie with:
- Realistic lighting

Especially on PS5, PS4 Pro, Xbox Series, and strong PCs — the game runs incredibly well.
Ray tracing makes everything prettier and darker at the same time — perfect for horror.
