Is Resident Evil Village Worth Playing After 7?

-

I’ve recently rekindled my interest in the *Resident Evil* series with a new game on the horizon. I’m planning to replay *Resident Evil 7*, which I last experienced in VR—talk about a scarefest! Given that I’m now geared up for the PS5 upgrade with ray tracing, it feels like the perfect time to dive back in. After I finish *7*, I’m on the fence about whether to pick up *Village*. I know it’s a continuation of the story, but I’ve heard some mixed reviews in the past. Now that some time has passed, is *Village* a must-play or just something I can skip?

I’d say *Village* is alright—it’s a mixed bag. It does some things well, while others are a bit questionable. If it’s deeply discounted now, it might be worth a shot, especially since it has a VR mode!

If you’re enjoying *RE7*, just go for it! They’re on sale at around $10, so it’s a no-brainer to grab *Village*. Plus, it’s a great continuation of Ethan’s story!

Don’t worry too much about the reviews! I thought it was a lot of fun. Just dive in and see for yourself—everyone’s taste is different!

Definitely give *Village* a shot! It’s received overwhelmingly positive reviews, sitting at 95% recommended on Steam. I don’t know where you heard those mixed opinions, but it’s got a solid following among fans. It’s more action-oriented than *7*, so don’t expect the same level of horror, but it’s a fun ride!

Yeah, the action focus is a shift! But if you loved *7*, you’ll probably enjoy *Village* too.

ActionHero92 -

I found *Village* to be a more consistent experience than *7*. It has excellent storytelling and awesome locations. Just keep in mind, it’s not as scary—more of an action-horror game. You might have a blast!
