While a fantastic and mostly faithful remake, Resident evil 3 suffers from having too short of a campaign that runs at about 5 hours long and while I understand it's a remake of a PS1 game, to have someone pay $60 for a brand new game and be able to finish it in the same day is a little bit ridiculous in todays day and age. Nemesis himself, who in the original could show up at any time while the player wasn't expecting it, in this one he has only scripted sections that he appears in and little else. He's supposed to be a more powerful version of Mr. X from the Resident evil 2 remake but he's less threatening and easier to get away from as long as you know where you need to go next. While the second remake had the player confined to the location (Like the RPD station) this game is supposed to be able to travel all over Raccoon city but yet still feels more linear than the previous entry. Not to imply that it should feel like an open world game, but a little more open than it was. Those criticisms aside, I still quite enjoy this game and have played through it a few times since it came out and am still not tired of it. I just hope that if Capcom so chooses to do another REmake that they don't make the same mistakes that they made with this one.

Resident Evil has been for the last few years an absolute godsend for me. Ever since I first got fully immersed in the series in 2017 with the release of Resident evil 7 and again in 2019 with the release of the Resident evil 2 remake, I've been able to find something to love about (almost) each game in the main series and 8 or Village is no exception to this rule. It was without a doubt the most hyped game of the year for me so was it worth all that hype? Well let's get into it. Resident evil Village, much like its predecessor is a first person shooter/Survival horror game but this time being more reminiscent of some of the more actiony titles in the series, such as Resident evil 4. In fact it's very clear that Resident evil 4 was a huge influence on this game, as it has a lot more action oriented gameplay as well as the setting which takes place in an Eastern European village much like the previously mentioned game did. In terms of gameplay, it's mostly the same as 7 but with some new elements added, such as the improved inventory system and some smaller adjustments like encouraging you to block and be more defensive than in 7. Enemies this time around range from Lycans and werewolves, to 9 foot vampire ladies and things I don't even want to describe in this review both for spoiler reasons but also because they really did terrify me. Speaking of which, while I admit to being a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to Horror games, there is one section of this game that has scared me more than any other horror content and has made me not want to ever go back and replay this game, simply because I don't ever want to experience that part of the game again, take that as you will. Story wise, this game has a few twists and turns that I will not talk about as that would ruin the purpose of playing the game, but the basic gist is that Ethan is in this village looking for his newborn daughter, Rose and has to face off against a new group of villains who make the Baker family look tame. You're all probably well aware of Lady Dimitrescu or as the internet calls her, "Mommy" but there's also some new villains that you don't see much of in the trailers like Lady Beneviento and Heisenberg who definitely add some depth to the games story and make it that much more exciting to play. The game may not be the best in the series, and it may also not be your GOTY but for me it was well worth the price of admission and I swear that one of these days I'll be brave enough to go back and play through it again and hopefully this time I won't go running straight towards Mommy Vampire and let her kill me again and again.

I mentioned in my reviews of other Dark pictures games that while they were alright by themselves, they paled in comparison with Supermassive's masterpiece of horror "Until Dawn". It's clear to me though that the company has listened to the fans complaints and took some extra time to improve upon this game as it was delayed and some extra work was done on it to make it a bit closer to their previous work, and I for one think it worked out in the end. First off, this game definitely feels longer than the previous two games which was one of my initial complaints, I don't expect an interactive drama to be very long but the previous two games felt very short, especially when compared to Until Dawn (And yes, I'm going to continue to use that game as a reference point) but this one felt like it was long enough without feeling so long that it ever dragged at any point. Another big improvement was the storyline and characters, while the characters were nothing to write home about, I did enjoy the drama between them and actually found myself caring a bit about them, and wanting to keep as many of them alive as I could, as is the main goal of the game. As for the storyline, I thought it was a pretty original take combining elements from movies such as John Carpenter's "The Thing" but mostly from "The Descent", an often overlooked but masterful and suspenseful horror film from 2005. I obviously don't want to get too into the story as I'll end up giving stuff away but I will say that it was much more enjoyable, particularly finding artifacts from past characters who have their own story to tell within the story of the game itself. If you were not a big fan of "Man of Medan" or "Little hope" like I was, then I encourage you to at least give this one a try, it's the same game for the most part but the story and characters are more reminiscent of Until Dawn so that fans of that game will likely be pleasantly surprised and find that this game is worth the price.
