Resident Evil 7 is one of my favorite games ever(the first person perspective was so freaking immersive) so i had high expectations going to RE Village.
Its a solid game,but always with Capcom they suddendly introduce drastic changes to sequels to appeal to a broad audience, in this case its not quite the tight horror experience that RE7 was
RE8 has more of a focus on shooting, wich isn't very good as the controls and enemy reaction doesn't feel right its too floaty, the setting is fantastic, but as a result they try lots of things and not all work as well,specially the third area, the plot is fine but i didn't like the main villain, Ethan is a good protagonist.
Overall its an 8/10 for me, it has memorable moments,but falls short of the greatness found in RE7 and RE4 since it tries to be an awkward stop in the middle
I also appreciate its a big love letter to gothic horror
Its good, but i know they can do better
