Resident Evil: Requiem is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and with its release just around the corner, many players are looking to refresh their memory with the latest installment of the saga, Resident Evil Village, recently available on PlayStation Plus. This direct sequel to Resident Evil 7 follows the story of Ethan Winters, who, after rescuing his wife from the Baker family, finds himself caught in a new nightmare when his wife is murdered and his daughter is kidnapped by a mysterious group led by Chris Redfield.
Revving up
In this new adventure, Ethan embarks on a quest to find his daughter and faces a sinister variety of creatures and enemies in a terrifying village. Resident Evil Village combines the classic tension of the early titles in the series with more exaggerated action elements, maintaining the first-person perspective that allows players to immerse themselves in the horror. Although it is less terrifying than its predecessor, Village offers memorable sections that have resonated with players, such as the iconic encounter with Lady Dimitrescu and the chilling challenges presented by Donna Beneviento.
The game stands out for its cast of memorable bosses, each contributing their own unique style of horror. From the intimidating presence of Lady Dimitrescu to the innovative mechanics of Donna Beneviento, each encounter offers a diverse and enriching experience. With a more abundant arsenal than in Resident Evil 7, Ethan appears as a more capable protagonist, making it easier for new players to access the saga.
Resident Evil: Requiem will not have direct links to Village, but the atmosphere and tone of the latter can serve as an excellent prelude to what fans can expect in their return to Raccoon City next month. Undoubtedly, Resident Evil Village is a sum that many were looking forward to in the PlayStation Plus catalog and a survival horror experience worth exploring before the release of the new installment.
