Resident Evil: Village (PEGI 18) PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox X, PC

Set three years after the events of Biohazard the game starts with protagonist Ethan Winters’ idyllic life being brought to a shattering end.

Waking in an eerie European village, Ethan sets out in search of his family.

The village itself is gloriously creepy, sitting in the shadow of an imperious castle – it’s suitably isolated with a pervading sense of menace and begging to be explored.

The village’s increased roster of bloodthirsty beasts makes for an interesting variety of combat encounters – as are the deranged nobles you have to defeat.

Graphically this is jawdropping, with a story that offers you a selection box of gory delights.

The horrifying characters feel tangible and fleshed out.
