15 Single-Player Games That Defined the Last Five Years

Resident Evil: Village (2021)

Resident Evil Village takes the series into a new shade of horror, following Ethan Winters into a secluded region plagued by monstrous rulers and sinister mysteries. It’s an achievement in horror game design, shifting seamlessly between tension-filled exploration, intense action, and psychological dread. Each major area offers its own flavor of horror, from claustrophobic chases to bombastic set pieces, ensuring the game constantly feels fresh. Resource scarcity and tight level design also help in keeping players on edge, and its cast of villains leaves a lasting impression.
