When Village first came out I was on that 'Here we go, yet another RE game the fans are overhyping' but after playing it - god damn it has such a good and well told story.

First person horror games are not for me, so I waited for the third person dlc (thank you capcom) and I'm so glad I did, I know full well I wouldn't have had to opportunity to experience what is now, after completing 2,3, 4 (original), 5 and 6 - one of my favourite RE games.

Somehow, capcom have managed to make a game that resembles 4 in most all aspects yet again and it not be absolute trash. It has that over the top action elements (not quite to the extent of 4, but they're there) - it has the set pieces, it has the village as the center and the over-the-top villains of the piece.

My biggest issue, and it's an issue as a whole with the franchise - is just how short they are. I get it, replayability, a story that doesn't outstay its welcome etc etc. but I really would have loved just another 5-10 hours to add into the story, expand some areas out - the Beneviento house, for instance, is pretty much half hour long at most, almost surprisingly short.

I'm genuinely excited to see what capcom do next with the franchise as recently they really have not been missing with it...
