One of the wackiest AAA games I've ever played. Absolutely everything that happens in this one is straight up bonkers but done completely straight. The village hub area is awesome and feels like a smaller-scale Deus Ex city map, and the dollhouse is easily some of Capcom's best work in the horror department. I was enamored with Village the whole way through and fully prepared to give it top marks, but the last level was an utter buzzkill that, along with the post-credits scene, nearly soured me on the whole thing. Almost every Resident Evil has a disappointing final stretch, but this one is borderline insulting. Still, I loved the rest of the game, and am excited to see what crazy bullshit the devs cook up next.
