Played it in VR on psvr2. Such an awesome game. Great graphics and gameplay. Interesting story.

Taking huge inspiration from Resident Evil 4, Village manages to actually be a great follow up to RE Biohazard. This game is strong in nearly every way. It manages to have a great story following Ethan Winters rescuing his daughter from Mother Miranda and the 4 lords. 

Every section of the game is able stand on its own with a unique atmosphere that separate it from the others. Lady D's castle managed to be a highlight so early in the game. The Beneviento house managed to bring some of the best horror we've seen in a good while. Moreau was probably the weakest of the 4. Heisenberg's factory was probably the closest we got to that unsettling feeling present from Dead Space where something can be at the end of the metal corridor or right behind you. 

Cool

Played it in standard difficulty and had a blast. Story is entertaining, game does not over stay it's welcome. Plenty creepy areas, and the fact that the games doesn't always go for shooting in some places was a nice touch to add to the horror element. 9/10.

What a ride! Started slow but as soon as you enter the castle, and solve the puzzles there, it just sucks you in. 
As for scares, it's only inside the castle, after that it's not as scary, which is a plus for me.
I finished it in around 6 and a half hours. Pretty good!

Just a cohesive linear AAA-game, of which there are not enough in our time.
