the litmus test
Resident Evil Village is the first experience to offer the powerful combination of M1 and M2 chips with Metal 3
Resident Evil Village es the eighth edition of the main series of Resident Evil games. Set a few years after the horrific events of the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard.
The new story begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new place, free from their past nightmares. As they build their new life together, tragedy strikes them again. When BSAA captain Chris Redfield raids his home, Ethan must once again go through hell to get his kidnapped daughter back.
To face all this adventure, gameplay offers plenty of action with weapons to collect and enemies like growling werewolves, howling gargoyles, and other monsters.
The first of many
Since Apple hopes to offer the best graphics and a cross-platform experience players and of course attracting more developers, especially “AAA” developers, to create Mac games.
from this week Resident Evil Village is available on the Mac App Store for 47.99 dollars. And its arrival on Mac coincides with the release of the new “Winters Expansion DLC”, which will soon be available for macOS users.
At the time, Apple also announced that the Golden Joystick 2018 nominee, No Man’s Sky and the new GRID Legends for fans of racing simulators, will also join Resident Evil Villageas part of this combination of hardware and software that drives the gaming experience across all of its platforms.
