Resident Evil 8 Village: https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/nintendo-switch-2/resident-evil-village-gold-edition

// Joys
+ Successfully evolves RE7’s first-person gameplay…
+ …but third-person is also available if you wish
+ Exceptionally well-paced
+ Varied enemies and environments throughout
+ Contains one of the scariest moments in series history

// Cons
- Story and characters are a little throwaway
- The Mercenaries mode isn’t as good as previous instalments
- Performance takes a hit in handheld mode
