Resident Evil Village is a more action-based sequel like RE4. It's kinda like a spiritual successor in a way even though they're in the same franchise. Just like RE4, the game focused more on action rather than horror. It's a chance I don't mind since the game is a lot more atmospheric than RE7.

Each of the sections of the village has its own memorable segments along with a fine line-up of antagonists. Most of the lords you fight have their own quirk that makes them entertaining or terrifying. However, the main antagonist of the game, Mother Miranda herself doesn't really fit in that in my opinion.She may be the sole reason why everything in the franchise happened but at the same time, she barely had a presence. If you're going to make her the biggest bad of the franchise please do more with her.

I also had a problem with the cutscenes being out of synch. It was prevalent in the beginning of the game but became non-existent in the middle and ending. Regardless it still hindered the experience.
