Wrapped up Resident Evil Village and my god. Give me 9 ASAP.
I first played RE5 like a decade ago and was my only experience with the franchise. It was great, so last year when I saw RE7 on sale for like $10 I thought eh why not. Forced my girlfriend to watch it like a horror movie during Halloween and holy shit of DELIVERED. It definitely was a series refresh and was better for it. The story was so thrilling and made me ask a million question, but still was great as a solo contained piece of media.
Resident evil village (RE8) took RE7s tightly designed map and expanded upon it, giving players a little taste of a semi-open world. More just a hub area that connects all the main enemies of the game. I think it started hard, dulled a bit in the middle, but the ending was exhilarating. Man the ending....
I wont spoil anything, but I appriciate when a game recognizes its told the story it wanted to tell and gives a definitive ending.
Baldurs Gate 3. Just got to act 3. Already thinking about playing through it again. Think I'll be an origin character so I don't have to switch out companions as often for storylines.
