Resident Evil Village Gold Edition

Resident Evil Village picks up three years after the seventh game: Ethan Winters has a daughter, a quiet house and then Chris Redfield kicks the door in. Rose is taken, and Ethan wakes up in a snowbound village in the mountains of Eastern Europe. It is first-person again, but the pacing owes as much to Resident Evil 4 as to the previous entry — more open, more combat, more shopping. The Duke runs a merchant stall where you buy weapons, upgrade them, sell treasure and cook meals from hunted game for permanent stat boosts. Four lords rule quarters of the map under Mother Miranda: Lady Dimitrescu's castle, the doll-maker's house, the reservoir and the factory, each a self-contained set of puzzles and threats with a very different tone. Inventory is a grid you rearrange like a suitcase. The Mercenaries returns as an arcade score mode, and a third-person camera was added after launch for anyone who prefers it. The Gold Edition includes the Winters' Expansion: the Shadows of Rose story campaign, the third-person camera mode and The Mercenaries Additional Orders with three new playable characters.
