Resident Evil Village is a feast for all things fantastical and nostalgic, especially when it comes to what helped make Resident Evil 4 special, but unfortunately its entire narrative hinges on a plot twist. This twist is rewarding when looking back at how it’s set up, and yet, in order to fulfill it at the end of Resident Evil Village, Capcom needed Chris Redfield to make egregious and inexplicable choices so that truths would be hidden from Ethan Winters, all so that the story could go on the way it was intended to.
