I played this after re8 village and it was more fun that way. Almost like a prequel story. Scariest darn game I've ever played...if you play this game you need a large screen and nice home theater because the brilliance is how immersed in terror you get when you experience like you're in a movie. Village is way more action packed but these monsters are much creepier and reminiscent of the lockers from re2. Happy scaring!
