The single most important habit in Resident Evil Village is consistency — the systems reward players who learn the core loop before chasing shortcuts, and almost every wall you hit is a sign to practice one mechanic, not to abandon the run.

Priority checklist (do these first):

• Save at every opportunity; checkpoints are not guaranteed.
• Use light sparingly; visibility attracts threats.
• Keep one escape route mentally mapped in every room.
• Backtrack only with a clear reason and an exit plan.
