There will be no strong plot spoilers in the article, but still, if you are a fan of learning everything yourself, then some sections may spoil your pleasure from future walkthroughs. In any case, if you have passed the game at least once, then you can read to the end safely. The images are taken from the official game promos and are used to dilute the text, they are not spoilers.

The main source of challenges and, accordingly, the extension of pleasure from it is the challenge section, which opens after a single pass. There are 95 challenges in the game, for which you get points. With these points, you can buy various features, the most valuable of which are new weapons in the main game and endless ammo for all types of weapons.

If you not only want to take everything from the game, but also do it at no extra cost, then there are 2 basic rules for saving the game, which make it easier to pass the challenges:

  1. Quantitative challenges, such as killing N enemies, can be completed by saving and reloading-progress will be saved.
    2.The purchased infinite weapon bonuses are valid for all game saves. Therefore, it is a completely normal situation: save in 1 save, sell everything you can and get a lot of loot, add loot to the full pumping of weapons, go to the bonus menu, buy infinite ammunition for it (purchase is only available when the weapon is fully pumped), download 1 save and get infinite ammunition without spending money on pumping

Complete the game for the first time, covering all the quantitative content

This is the first walkthrough of the game on normal difficulty. The game is quite passable without research and searching for all the secrets, but if the developers provide such opportunities, then why not take advantage of them.

  1. clear all red locations. As in the remakes of parts 2 and 3, the missing items on the locations are identified in red. As soon as all the items are found, the location on the map will light up in blue - you can go further. This will not result in achievements, but is an obvious indicator of exploring the game world.
    2.find all the treasures. The merchant will mark them on the map in the form of gold chests in the first half of the game, do
    3.not sell all the composite treasures, combine them, then sell to
    4.prepare all the merchant's recipes. In addition to achieving this goal you will also pumped the parameters of the hero
    5.to use all the features that are explicitly throws you a game: find rare animals in the pictures, to open all doors not plot every new key, search for treasures on the cards, go to each house, to avoid all the well, through all 4 of the maze with the ball

This is the most difficult game mode. It opens after 1 pass of the game or when buying the Deluxe edition (at the same time, you can pass the game in it from 1 time, but it is clearly not recommended). In this mode, the maximum increase in the health of enemies and damage to you, but not only. In many battles, there are enemies that did not exist before.

It is recommended to pass with infinite ammo, but there will be no easy life.

Conclusions

It took me 11 hours to complete the game for the first time. Resident Evil Village is an eventful game that constantly throws you into different situations, and you want to at least try it with a fresh look. The developers have added a bunch of challenges to it, which are difficult to ignore if you are used to taking the most out of games. I already understand that I will not pass them all, but even if you try at least a little bit all the features of the game without reading the manuals, you can play it for a long time. With these features, the game is worth the money.
