Resident Evil Village Review

Resident Evil Village has finally released, we've played it, and we've completed it! Capcom are the developers and publishers behind this masterpiece.

We take control of Ethan Winters again during Resident Evil Village.

Resident Evil Village - We're Not In Kansas Louisiana Anymore! So, is Resident Evil Village the end of Ethan Winters chapter in the Resident Evil Universe?

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition Review

Metro Exodus, the final part of the Metro video game trilogy. Based on the world created by Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of novels starting with Metro 2033. Glukhovsky also collaborated in developing the games. Part of a franchise including a Metro 2033 board game released in 2011 and a planned feature film. Continuing Artyom's story in this post-apocalyptic version of the world where nuclear war devastated the world and led to various monsters coming into existence. As well different factions including Communists, Neo-Nazis, neutral groups to gangs of bandits. Metro Exodus definitely got my tikhar going! Having never played any of the previous Metro titles I was extremely dubious about picking this up. Would I appreciate a storyline partway through? Also what have I missed out on already?...
