Similar to Resident Evil 4, makeshift barricades can be used to fend off enemies. The game's primary enemies, the werewolf-like Lycans, are not only agile and intelligent, but can wield weapons and attack in packs, forcing the player to rethink their strategy on whether to utilize sparse ammunition, use melee combat, or simply run away. Compared to Biohazard, the game is more action-focused, with protagonist Ethan Winters now equipped with more combat skills due to military training. Structures and buildings in the central village can be climbed and used to fight enemies. It is set in a snowy explorable Eastern European village, described as 'pulled straight from the Victorian era' and much larger and immersive than its predecessor. Like its predecessor, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil Village uses a first-person perspective. Resident Evil Village won multiple year-end accolades, including Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. The game's increased focus on action over its predecessor received more mixed opinions. Resident Evil Village received generally favorable reviews, being praised for its gameplay, setting, and variety, although it received criticism for its puzzles, boss fights and performance issues on the Microsoft Windows version. The game was announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event in June 2020 and was released on May 7, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. While Village maintains the Resident Evil series' survival horror elements, the game adopts a more action-oriented gameplay style compared to its predecessor. Players control Ethan Winters, who is searching for his kidnapped daughter after a fateful encounter with Chris Redfield, and finds himself in a village filled with mutant creatures. It is the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017). Resident Evil Village is a 2021 survival horror game developed and published by Capcom.
