Resident Evil 4. It always comes back to Resident Evil 4. Almost 17 years on from Capcom’s horror masterpiece, it’s still considered the crème de la crème of the series. Who knows if it’ll ever be topped — maybe the rumoured remake could pose the question — but at least there’s now a new kid on the block. Resident Evil Village at times threatens the top dog. While it can’t quite surpass it, what Capcom does with the second tale of Ethan Winters proves the classic series can still be a world-beater. Fearful of bumps in the night or not, Resident Evil Village is excellent.
