In more than a word: Keep reading…
GAME OF THE WEEK
Resident Evil Village
Picking up directly following the events of Resident Evil 7, you control Ethan Winters again, trying to find your daughter who has been kidnapped and taken to a very Translyvania-esque village in eastern Europe. Fans of being scared will find a lot to enjoy, as the story practically takes you on a Best Of when it comes to horror scenarios.
It looks absolutely beautiful, especially if you’re playing on a PS5 or Series X, and the sound design is so spot-on that you’ll be jumping out of your chair at the sound of every closing door. Highly recommended.
Resident Evil Village will be available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia from Friday, 7 May.
BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK

DEAL OF THE WEEK
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
After several years of… how do we put this?… some NOT GREAT Star Wars games, this was finally the one to turn it all around, thanks to the fact that it borrowed some big ideas from heavy hitters like Dark Souls.
The plot puts you in the boots of a secret Jedi following the mass genocide of the rest of his kind
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is available on the PS Store right now, marked down from €69.99 to €19.99.
