Review Resident Evil Village: Shadows of Rose (PS5) - Creative DLC Is a Short But Sweet Send-Off
Goodbye Winters
For as good as the Resident Evil series is, Capcom has generally restricted it to one-and-done experiences. A few post-launch expansions have come and gone — in Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, for example — but they've never felt like a sure-fire thing. If anything, Resident Evil Village continues that...

Street Fighter 6’s character creator is one of the most obsessively ridiculous avatar builders we’ve seen in some time.

Of course, with such...

News Winters Is Concluding! Resident Evil Village DLC Will End Ethan, Rose's Story
What's next?
To be fair, not even the most committed Resident Evil fan would put protagonist Ethan Winters on par with the likes of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

Very little drop-off from console release
The original PSVR was amazing, but on the rare occasion a tentpole AAA title got ported to it, the visuals took an enormous hit.
