Not a long-time fan, per se, but this looks like it will be amazing. I see Village on Steam every now and again.
Are there any backstories from previous installments of RE that would make this one hard to follow if I just started here? Or could I just start here and not miss anything?
It's a good game, unfortunately it has a great deal to do with previous RE titles. One of the main reveals of Village connects to various other games. Sorry.
Ahh well, I guess I could do a little digging into it later on. Right now, I'm mainly enjoying the suspense as I progress through the game. Never know when someone or something is going to jump out at me.
