    This game was great! I've been playing through all of the RE's for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and it's probably my favorite out of the series.

    I see a lot of RE fans crapping on the game, because they don't like the direction it went into. I honestly think it's people wearing clouded nostalgia goggles, because a lot of them make references to the previous games.

    It's to the point where people are calling people who like the game, dumb, brainless and other names, because it's not as convoluted as the first game in the series. I enjoyed RE1 but damn did I have to look up a guide so many times, because I didn't want to walk around the maze of a house with those **** camera angles, just to find what I was missing.

    Village's atmosphere was great, the story was engaging, I love how the whole game was based around the children's story at the start of the game. Very neat idea. The music was amazing. I'm a sucker for FPS games and they did it right, with still having a lot of the RE aspects in it. The feeling of being stuck in the castle with crazy witches was terrifying. Got a few jump scares when they would manifest in front of me.
    The water section was probably my favorite. The giant fish was awesome and was terrifying with the urgency of the tasks.

    RE7 was my favorite, but 8 took the win!

    My only complaint is at the start of the game, surviving the lycan attack felt next to impossible, but maybe that's because I was on hardcore.

    Overall. I give this game a solid 9 (if I could give it a 9.5 I would) out of ten! Definitely recommend!

    For me, that was the best AAA of 2021 (that shows how 2021 was strange). The game itself is pretty good, with awesome localization to portuguese, a nice plot and good mechanics. I really like the versatility that the Resident Evil franchise has shown since RE7, and I hope they keep rocking from many years ahead!

    A Great Resident Evil Game

    I bought Resident Evil 8 on release but couldn't quite get into it when it came out. Originally it came out in May and I prefer to play my horror games in the winter so this game took the back burner and I forgot all about it until the Winter's Expansion.

    Firstly, I played the game fully in Third Person Mode and had a great time with it. So much so I think it's better than the first person mode, it doesn't feel half baked or just a tag-on. It genuinely feels very fresh and similar to the other RE remakes.

    The story itself is a direct sequel to the events of Resident Evil 7, if you have not played RE7, you shouldn't buy this game until completing it, otherwise you will miss out on a lot of context and nuance the game provides.

    For me the best part about the game was exploring the village and seeing what goodies you can find here and there. Sometimes it requires you to progress to different parts of the game to get access to certain parts of the village, but I don't mind that kind of back tracking.

    The way I view the game is as such: The Village is your main hub to explore and the four zones are sort of like "Dungeons" to an extent. Very linear for the most part and allow you to progress the story, the only real free-roam you get is within the village and it's not exactly very big to begin with.

    I think the story is quite well written, it's nothing to write home about in comparison to other games like Detroit: Become Human, or Death Stranding, but it's strong enough to keep you wanting to know what happens next.

    Exploration is massively rewarded, back tracking in the village after you find certain items is also rewarding. Don't be afraid to go off the obvious path, because there's almost always something there for you to obtain or experience.

    My only complaint is somewhat similar to the one I had for the Resident Evil 3 remake, and that is that there's sometimes just too much ammo in the game, you can easily fight your way through every enemy and still have enough to spare to continue; it really takes away from that element of survival horror in which "Should I fight or should I run?"

    The boss design is very cool and the set pieces are wonderful to look at and explore. I found that most, if not all, of the characters are interesting and have their own backstories.

    Overall, Resident Evil Village is a great addition to the series and absolutely worth playing, doubly more if you've played Resident Evil 7.

    8/10 - I'll probably do some more playthroughs at some point on higher difficulties.

    Resident Evil Village is horror game and you should remember this. This game will not be polite for you. Being alone in village where are a lot off hungry zombies will be traumatic. But it's not finish. After this you will be going through the castle, where you will meet some women's. And this women's make you scared soo much.
    Good plot, good gameplay, beautiful graphic. Just perfect game.

    Pretty good game. The combat is almost identical to RE7 which is a masterpiece in its own league. I really enjoyed the weapons this time around being highly upgradable and inflicting heavy damage. The sniper revolver was the best weapon. And obviously, Lady Dimitrescu

    should have been TPS. First person view is good for RE7 because it was more horrible and atmospheric but RE:Village is an action game. The other big problem is that pistols does not feel good.

    There may or may not be boulder punching. As someone who skipped Resident Evil 7 due to the change to first person, Village caught me attention due to the setting and it did not disappoint. It even swayed me on the first person perspective and is now my 3 favorite entry in the series.

    Masterfully blends the best elements of game-play and problem solving from RE2, RE4 & RE7. The plot/story detracts from the score. If I cared more about the story than the game-play, it would get a lower score from me.

    Bitter-sweet to have experienced Resident Evil Village, for one thing, I think it is an incredible game and is reminder of an era when gaming was fun, but, it is the only release in 2021 that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it is alarming that only one game (outside of Rift Apart, which is not for me) was even worth any gamer's time...

    Bitter-sweet to have experienced Resident Evil Village, for one thing, I think it is an incredible game and is reminder of an era when gaming was fun, but, it is the only release in 2021 that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it is alarming that only one game (outside of Rift Apart, which is not for me) was even worth any gamer's time...

    RE8 can best be summarized as a modernized version of RE4, the similarities are everywhere (including a few subtle nods to the past), bosses with their own dedicated sections, humble merchants, currency systems, inventory management, unique characters, as well as fun puzzles and secrets to figure out and discover, and I am sure there are even more similarities that I am forgetting as well. Now normally, it would be incredibly easy to criticize a game for copying a previously released title in their catalogue (FIFA & CoD come to mind), but Village does enough to separate itself from its predecessor.

    Village is the perfect combination of Action & Survival Horror genres, and while I certainly enjoy the two, I do think this game excels more when it is focusing on the latter. The Village, the Castle, and the Beneviento house, are the prime examples of the horror element of the series, while the Moreau reservoir, Stronghold, & the Factory certainly buildup the action side of things. I enjoyed all of the areas, but the Village & the Castle are my favourite areas in the game by far. It seems like more effort and attention were put into those two areas than the other three, and I'm sure that is contributing to people criticizing the game's length.

    The boss fights leave a bit to be desired, but the bosses themselves (as well as the merchant) are all very well done, from their designs, to the voice acting, the lore behind them all, Village really did a good job crafting their antagonists, something I wish I could say for the protagonists. The setting and atmosphere are also top-notch, it genuinely feels like you are exploring an Eastern European (Romanian?) village setting, but the atmosphere is what really stood out to me, I felt on-edge the whole time on my first play-through, and even on bits of my second, and this is in huge part due to the horror elements of the game being well-implemented. I never felt particularly safe, and while I was anxious about every move of progression, I certainly enjoyed being kept on my toes like I did in RE, RE2, RE3, & RE7. This is when Resident Evil is at its best, when it nails the survival horror atmosphere, and to my mind, there aren't many games that can do it better.

    Why 9, and not 10? Simple, the story is just not very good, and it really shows in the third act, and without giving too much away, there are a few contrivances and explanations which just seem implausible in a desperate effort to tie RE8 to the rest of the series, and RE7 in particular. Also, the less said about Chris' motives and arc, the better, he feels like he was shoe-horned in for fan service because I barely recognize him as the same character in previous games. This directly ties into my second issue, which is that I don't really feel the same way about Ethan & Mia, as I do about Jill, Claire, Leon, & Chris. There is nothing that I can really relate to or latch onto them with that keeps me emotionally invested, and it is sorely needed for a game that crafted its villains as well as Village (& RE7) does.

    + Phenomenal balance of survival horror and action
    + Well crafted characters (villains & merchant)
    + Incredible atmosphere and tension
    + Sound effects/soundtracks are terrific
    + Setting is incredibly well done
    + Combat is satisfying
    + Replay-ability
    + Game is aesthetically gorgeous
    + Exploration and puzzles are fun
    + RE4 Inventory management and currency system
    + Mercenaries mode returns
    + Loads of New Game Plus content

    - Weak protagonists (Ethan, Mia, & Chris)
    - Story could be better, weak third act
    - HDR is way too dark (looks incredible though)
    - Audio syncing issues during some dialogue sequences
    - Ray Tracing is barely noticeable

    Overall, Resident Evil Village is an incredible entry in the series and a must play for RE fans or fans of survival-horror, it is the only game I would recommend from 2021, and I am glad that Resident Evil is still going strong in an industry that is stagnating and being drained of creativity. 9/10.

I didn't really like 7 that much and since this was a direct sequel I was concerned. However, I have to admit I had a ton of fun playing this game and even beat it on the hardest difficulty. It takes elements from RE7 and RE4 and combines them to great effect. There is a lot of variety to the gameplay but also some weak tedious parts that drag the game down.

    Gunplay is pretty solid and the variety of weapons is nice. You'll mostly use the shotgun. It's typical RE stuff where you are extremely slow and have to manage by aiming well and controlling the situation. There are a few puzzles here and there but nothing reaching the level of RE past games. Thankfully, these sections do not last long you are soon back to blasting away werewolves and ghouls.

    I would say the highlight of the game is the infamous vampire lady's castle which is very vintage RE. It's got a little bit of everything. Puzzles, shooting, and exploration/item hunting. At that point you also have very few resources, so it's more in line with early RE games.

    The story is produced well but it does get a little out of control towards the end as usual. Although Capcom does a nice job of tying in canon from past games. There are some serious inconsistencies here though but you just have to remember this is a RE game so you just have to go with it. I was a little disappointed by the ending too. There also many little scripted sequences involving some of the non boss enemies in the game that add to the excitement and plenty of docs to read that expand on the story. It's worth is to read everything you find as it fleshes out the backstories on the bad guys.

    Graphically, it's pretty top notch too and the entire game is very immersive. The characters all have great detail and textures really pop. The environments are all well put together and it really pulls you in. I liked this much more than what we got in RE7, especially that terrible ship area.

    The game is a little bit on the short side but you can play through various times with some bonus weapons and even unlock infinite ammo to just have some fun. Also, Mercenaries mode returns for that replayability factor.

    In the end, I was pretty satisfied with this outing in the RE universe. It advances the series main story and ties up some loose ends. The action is solid but slow, like in RE4. You can almost say this like a remake of RE4, cuz the similarities are very many. You even have the mysterious merchant show up. Pleasantly surprised and looks like Capcom has this series back on track for the most part except for the terrible RE3 remake :(

    A solid 8 i think since there were some areas of the game that are pretty tedious and the story is a little loose here and there. Overall great though.

    Die Fortsetzung von RE 7 ist ein grandioses Best-Off des Survival Horrors, das viele Nischen der Fantasy- / Horrorwelt abdeckt. Außerdem sind sowohl Story als auch Charaktere (vor allem die jetzt schon ikonische Lady Dimitrescu) deutlich ausgereifter als beim Vorgänger. Das Spiel wird jedoch in der zweiten Hälfte etwas schwächer als zum nahezu perfekten Beginn (9/10).

It continues the story from RE7 which felt like a soft reboot, that brought a breath of fresh air to the franchise and add to its charms. It delivers both on the horror and action fronts while offering the players a bunch of highly detailed and well thought out places to explore. Each of these places feels like a completely different horror game which is loosely tied up by the Village serving as its centre point and main area. If you are a fan of horror games or a fan of the RE franchise in general, then it is definitely the game for you to check out. It is one of the best horror experiences that you can play right now.

    Capcom you are incredible, this game has become a real discovery. Delight did not leave throughout the passage. The way they worked on the village is worthy of applause. A true child's delight, involvement in the gameplay, a real gift for everyone who appreciates single-player story games. Respect, it was very cool !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil Village bu senenin en başarılı yapımlarından biri. Aynı zamanda Village, önceki oyunu başarılı şekilde devam ettiren bir devam oyunu. Hikayeden bahsedeyim biraz. Gözlerden uzak bir köye yerleşen Ethan ve Mia çifti, geçmişte yaşadıklarından sonra yeni doğan kızları Rose ile sakin bir hayat sürmektedir. Ethan, daha önceden yaşananları yok sayarak yaşamına devam etse de Mia eski konuları sürekli açmakta ve ikili bu yüzden sıklıkla tartışmaktadır. Bir akşam beklenmedik bir şekilde çiftin evlerine baskın düzenlenir ve istihbarat görevlileri eve girer. Baskını düzenleyen ekibin komutanı Chris Redfield'tır. Chris, ekiple birlikte evi bastıktan sonra Ethan'ın gözü önünde Mia'yı öldürür ve Rose'u da alarak evden ayrılır. Yaşananları anlamlandıramayan Ethan şok geçirir, daha sonra ekipteki askerlerden biri Ethan'ı bayıltır. Ethan ayıldığında kendini bir araç enkazının içinde bulur, yanındaki asker de ölmüştür. Etrafı araştırmaya ve nerede olduğunu anlamaya çalışan Ethan, çok geçmeden ıssız bir kasaba yakınlarında bulunduğunun farkına varır. Ethan kasabaya doğru ilerler ve oradan kurtulmanın, kızını bulmanın yollarını aramaya başlar. Bir süre sonra Ethan bu kasabada ters giden bir şeylerin olduğunu anlar. Etraf çok sessizdir ve kasaba terk edilmiştir, ayrıca kasabada işlerin yolunda gitmediği de çok rahat bir şekilde anlaşılmaktadır. Olaylar bu köyde şekillenir ve Ethan kızını aramaya devam eder. Çok geçmeden Ethan, Duke'ten edindiği bilgiler ışığında kızının dört farklı kavanoza yerleştirildiğini öğrenir. Bu kavanozlar Miranda Ana'nın geriye kalan çocuklarında her birinde birer tane olacak şekilde bulunmaktadır. Ethan, Dimitrescu'yu öldürdüğünde ilk kavanozu bulmuştur. Ethan'ın Miranda Ana'nın çocuklarının bölgesine gidip kavanozları hepsinden alması gerekmektedir. Ethan bunu yapar ve Miranda Ana'nın 4 çocuğunu da saf dışı bıraktıktan sonra kavanozların hepsini ele geçirir. Sıra Miranda Ana'ya gelir, ancak Miranda Ana, Ethan'ı öldürür. Ethan öldürüldükten sonra garip bir yerde Eveline'i görür ve Eveline, Ethan'a onun aslında Bakerların evindeyken öldüğünü söyler. Söyleneni kabul etmeyen Ethan ailesini kurtarması gerektiğini söyleyerek uyanır. Miranda Ana, Rose ile yapacağı ayini tam başlatacağı sırada yetişir. Miranda Ana ile savaşan Ethan, onu öldürür ve Rose'u ondan alarak uzaklaşmaya başlar. Daha sonra Chris ile karşılaşan Ethan, başaramayacağını anlayınca Rose'u ona verir ve onu kurtarmasını söyler. Ardından Chris'ten Megamycete'e yerleştirilen bombanın kumandasını alarak Chris ile Rose gittikten sonra bombayı patlatır ve kendini feda eder. Hikayenin sonunda büyüdüğü görülen Rose, babasının mezarını ziyaret eder; ardından kendisi için getirilen arabaya binerek uzaklaşır. Hikaye bu şekilde sona erer. Ben genel olarak hikayeyi ortalama düzeyde buldum. Karakterler konusunda hikayenin zayıf olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Chris, Miranda Ana, Dimitescu ve Heisenberg karakterleri aslında ilgi çekici bir konsepte sahipler, ancak oyunun bu karakterleri işleyecek zamanı olmadığı için maalesef hikayede hak ettikleri kadar yer edemiyorlar. Özellikle oyunun tanıtım fragmanlarından sonra büyük göğüsleri sebebiyle fenomen haline gelen ve sayısız internet şakasına konu olan Dimitrescu'nun hikayede çok az yer etmesi çoğu oyuncu için hayal kırıklığı oldu. Aynı şekilde Heisenberg ve Miranda Ana da daha iyi işlenebilirdi fakat oyunun kısıtlı süresi maalesef buna izin vermemiş. Hikaye sunumu olarak oyunu serinin önceki oyununa göre biraz daha zayıf buldum fakat yine de sunum zayıf değil. Oynanış tarafı beni fazlasıyla memnun etti. Hatta beni bu oyuna bağlayan tarafın oynanış ve atmosfer olduğunu rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim. Kullanılan oyun motoru oldukça iyi. Ara sahnelerde ve oynanışta karakter animasyonlarının, düşmanların aldığı hasara karşı verdikleri tepkilerin güzel olduğu rahatlıkla söylenebilir. Vuruş hissi konusunda da oyun oldukça tatmin edici, düşmanlar vuruldukları bölgeye göre farklı tepkiler veriyor ve güçlü bir silahla düşmanı kafadan vurmanın verdiği hissiyatın bu oyunda çok iyi olduğu su götürmez bir gerçek. Düşman çeşitliliği yeterli düzeyde olmasa da silah çeşitliliği iyi ve bölüm sonu canavarları genellikle keyifli. Grafiksel olarak da oyun başarılı. Aynı şekilde optimizasyon da iyi, performans gayet stabil. Oyunu oynarken herhangi bir hataya rastlamadım. Resident Evil Village çok derin ve detaylı bir hikayeye sahip olmasa da oynanış ve atmosferi ile beni memnun etti. Bunları fena olmayan bölüm sonu canavarları ve güzel tasarlanmış bölüm dizaynları ile taçlandıran Resident Evil Village kesinlikle önceki oyuna yaraşır bir devam oyunu. Expand

Characters, story, villains, weapons, environments are all very cool.

    Masterfully blends the best elements of game-play and problem solving from RE2, RE4 & RE7. The plot/story detracts from the score. If I cared more about the story than the game-play, it would get a lower score from me.

    I want to note firstly that I mostly liked the game, so the rating is not low. But a certain list of negative points left their mark. Therefore, this rating is "minimally green".
    So what I liked here: Very good graphics. At almost the highest settings, there were no problems at all with stability. Well-chosen music and very well-done sounds. Good elaboration of faces and facial expressions of characters. I can't say it's perfect, but still it is a very good work... The game, in general, has an interesting story. Not a masterpiece, but for this series of games it is on a quite good level... Skillful dilution of the gameplay between action and horror(though not scary). Except the plant, the rest of the locations seemed interesting and goodly to me. The village was authentic :)
    ...
    And now what I didn't like here:
    (((Strongly))) Throughout the game, one thought did not leave my mind, "Just shut up your boorish mouth"... The developers have completely turned this moment upside down: On the one hand, the protagonist went through a real Hell in Louisiana and did not become a commando, but learned to survive and fight. And here he constantly giving out something like “I don’t understand”, “What is it?”, “It cannot be,” is lost on an ordinary illusion, because if you are not an idiot, you will elementarily understand that there is an illusion in front of you. Yes, the monsters in different closets may differ, but here the authors deliberately sucked emotions out of their fingers and made drama for the sake of drama. On the other hand, he should have understood the danger of monsters, but at the same time he is rude, swears, haughtily insults bosses, monsters, places in that Village. It is as if he was one of the bosses of this World. It just pisses me off. And the most idiotic of these moments for me was when he was given 10 seconds to run away from the chase, and he started when there was ONE SECOND LEFT! ...Some large monsters ignore the tactics necessary for them(a large werewolf flies back after a shotgun in a face during his swing/flight, but this only works in 50%.
    (((Average))) That wildly incomprehensible nonsense that you meet at the very beginning of the game (in the house, in the prologue) is then explained almost at the end. But the idiocy of the act itself does not justify this. Moreover, one of the soldiers is also talking about it on the walkie-talkie... Too much archaism, which in 2021 should already be wildly embarrassing to use. Even if once it was in all the old games: a key hanging in the air, you cannot climb three steps in a room, or go around the lawn because of the hard "invisible walls", the disappearance of the corpse of an ordinary human with his gun and bullets on the field with a scarecrow. It doesn't brake game-play, but already annoying a lot.
    (((Minor))) Inconvenient control of the inventory. These manipulations with the shift and mouse buttons - you get used to it later, but it looks stupid ... Some inadequate prices from the merchant. Not in terms of the prices themselves, but in terms of "a loaf of bread for a million shells", if you understand what I mean ...One of the soldiers at the end says that "5 bullets to the head means a lot", and this is ridiculous after the fact that in the game itself the weakest monster is killed with 4-5 hits to the head.
    ((())) This is not a criticism or a drawback for me, that's why this will be separate: the bosses were interesting, but I would like some more thoughtful design of such unique characters. All except the fish died at the first try. Even mini-bosses. The fish killed me the first time almost by accident. And I'm not the hard-player. This is bad... But I liked the fact that they are all, in fact, different. Really different.
    ...
    Although all these annoying things did not ruin the games, I really can't give it a high rating. On the other hand, I do not just recommend it, but highly recommend it. This is the case when not "try it, maybe you will like it", but when "be sure to play it, there will be a few stupid decisions, but it's worth it."

    By now you've heard Village has more action than RE7 and isn't as scary, this is true.
    Not to say it doesn't have frightening moments, it most certainly does.
    Though it may not rely on horror as much as RE7, it more than makes up for that short coming with just downright fun gameplay.
    In my opinion, Resident Evil titles have always been more of horror adjacent action games.
    With that, I honestly think Village near perfects the RE formula.

    Looking at the story side of things, everything was pretty straight forward if you played RE7 and read the documents throughout.
    The game does have quite a few twists and fakeouts with a very divisive ending.
    I personally wasn't too bothered by the conclusion, but I think it could've been done better going by the promotional material.

    Regardless though, Resident Evil Village was a very fun experience that I think most players will enjoy.

The bosses, level design, and characters surely take the bread out of this one. What makes this game worthwhile are the unlockables, further bolstering its replayability and rewarding players to keep playing more. The level design is done well where players can find items easier than the previous installment, characters are written well enough for an enjoyable experience, immersing you into the world of what Resident Evil wants to show you.

    It's done similar to Resident Evil 4, a mysterious virus outbreak in a religious village, castles and technology everywhere, and the raid on the player. The graphics are impressive and the cutscenes can now be skipped, allowing players to come back for more action. But that's where the problem stems.

    Unlike Resident Evil 7, the characters introduced are more laid back, energetic, and just them showing off. While RE 7 had a cast that was able to induce a haunting aura to the player, creating tension and fear in them, which is what a horror game should do. This could lead to fans feel less immersed and don't get to have fun in a game that they adored dearly.

    Next, Village's enemies are more of a pushover than 7. In every scenario the player is pushed into, only the Lycans posed such a threat to the player in all stages of the game. Killing enemies in the castle, and the factory feels more of a chore than a real challenge. They don't feel dangerous, rather annoying to be dealt with in the first place. Which can lead to experiencing boredom. No matter what difficulty you set in the game, the enemies are too weak to be dealt with.

    Other than that, the early game weapons don't scale very well, often having other weapons taking the spotlight and only makes them obsolete. Even at their strongest, the weapons simply don't stand any chance against the big guns. The weapons lack some sort of advantage that can still make them valuable against the hands of some powerful weapons. Because of that, the number of weapons considered useful is limited and causes the player to imply the same tactic by the end of the day.

    Lastly, the difficulty of the game is bad, having only artificial values going up to satisfy the player, which for me isn't worth it. The higher it goes, the more necessary you need powerful weapons to push through the game, which is more tiring than enjoyable. Not only that, it becomes a necessity to upgrade your stats to simply live through the hardest difficulty, causing the game to be severely flawed in terms of difficulty.

    In conclusion, it's still a good game, but not a fun one. Because of its overreliance on stat upgrades, treasure collecting, and limited options for weapons, the game can only hope for the unlockables and the story to do well enough for the flaws to be overseen. In the end, I don't think it's that bad, but this flaw is what hinders me from considering this a masterpiece.

    En general supera en casi todos los aspectos a Resident Evil VII. Si es verdad que le pasa un poco factura la corta durabilidad del juego. Además tampoco innovan demasiado en las mecánicas y en el sistema de jugabilidad de su anterior entrega. También se puede decir que su variedad de armas y el sistema de tienda dentro del propio juego es un poco escaso y en muchos aspectos ajustado. Pero si cabe destacar la notable mejoría en cuanto al apartado grafico, artístico y el complejo diseño tanto de los escenarios como de los personajes. Creo que es una buena entrega y la ambientación que han elegido para esta misma le queda perfecta a la saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very good game overall for this year 2021 and a nice follow-up to RE7. The antagonists Dimitrescu (it is clear that she alone sold the game a lot), lady Bonnaviento and Heiselberg gave Ethan a hard time and had a lot of relief. Lady Bonnaviento is the one I found the most frightening, and not unlike an episode of Saw, although her chapter is not long. As for Mordeau, I think he was more of a filler antogonist and Miranda was sorely lacking for the final boss of a game like this. I personally think they should have kept Heiselberg's father as the final boss. There's also the Duke who made interesting references to the merchant in RE4. Chris' intervention in the game was great too. It's true that you don't understand what's going on until about 80-90% of the way through the game, before that everything is confusing and inconsistent. Expand

    Oynanış ve tema olarak birbirlerinden farklılar. Bazıları aksiyon bazıları bulmaca ağırlıklı. Hatta bir bölüm boyunca ve sonundaki boss savaşında silah dahi kullanmıyoruz.
    Hikaye olarak fena değildi, baş düşmanın motivasyonu yerindeydi ama son bölüm hariç neredeyse hiç görmedik.
    Köy atmosferi güzeldi ama ben 2, 3 ve 7'deki sürekli peşimizden gelen boss'ların verdiği tedirginlik hissini daha çok seviyorum.
    Bunun yanında 7 ve 2'nin aksine oyunda cephane ve envanter alanı çoktu. Cephane sıkıntısı neredeyse hiç yaşamadım, ateş ederken mermi saymadım.
    Tabanca hariç diğer silahları kullanmak çok zevkliydi. Tabancadaki oturaklılık hissi 2'ye göre hiç yoktu. Düşmanların parçalanma efekti de kaldırılmış.
    İlk 4 boss ve bölüm arasında en sevdiğim fabrikalı olandı.
    İkincisi uzun kadınlı ama ondan değil güve sürüsüne dönüşen kızlarından dolayı. Oyunun her bölümünde bir ana boss bir kaç tane yan boss oluyor. Onlar da iyiydi hakikaten.
    Her bölüm bittikten sonra köye dönüp yeni yerlere erişip loot yapıyoruz. Alışveriş yaptığımız dük ilginçti.
    Sonuçta gerginlik hissinin göreceli olarak azlığından dolayı 2 kadar sevmesem de 3'ten kat kat iyiydi. 7 ile aynı seviyede diyebilirim.

    Resident Evil Village is a jewel that enters directly to the Top 5 of the saga.
    And yes, RE8 > RE7.
    *STORY*: Set a few years after the chilling events of the acclaimed Resident Evil 7, this brand new story opens with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new place, far from past nightmares. However, just as they are beginning their new life together, tragedy strikes

    *STORY*: Set a few years after the chilling events of the acclaimed Resident Evil 7, this brand new story opens with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new place, far from past nightmares. However, just as they are beginning their new life together, tragedy strikes again.

    Narratively well spun, modifying the origin of the saga and creating the future of the saga at the same time, it's a show where everything is millimetrically thought out.
    Why not 5 stars? Because of the lack of use of some characters that showed a lot of potential and, in the end, were left wanting more screen time.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Practically identical to its predecessor, but this time polished and expanded, it is simply perfect.

    *GRAPHICS*: While something more graphically impressive was expected, it's still a beast, and artistically it's the best of 2021 without a doubt.

    *SOUND*: This time the soundtrack takes a step aside to give more relevance to the sound effects... And how well it does it.
    The Spanish dubbing, again, very good.

    *INNOVATION: Resident Evil Village is not what we expected: it's something better.
    Clearly inspired by Resident Evil 4, one of its best installments, we are facing another of the pillars of the series that takes RE7 and simply takes it further.

    Me declaro fan absoluto de la nueva dirección que ha cogido Capcom con la saga, tanto los remakes como el 7 y el 8, me ha parecido un juego super variado, con una mezcla perfecta entre supervivencia y acción, se parece por momentos al 4 y siendo este junto con el 7 mis resident preferidos, este no podía estar muy lejos del podio, un gran juego sin duda.

    In terms of story, the game is at the highest possible level. Gameplay is enjoyable as always. Capcom did the job for a medal. The only drawback I encountered was the slow pace of the game, when it was below 30FPS, which made the dialogues start too quickly in relation to the game.

    My first resident evil game as well as my first review.
    There was a lot of hype surrounding this game and i decided that I might as well jump in and see if the series is worth my time. To answer this question; absolutely. The game looks fantastic and the sound design is top notch (but that is to be expected with most triple A game titles these days) and i didn't experience a single bug in

The game looks fantastic and the sound design is top notch (but that is to be expected with most triple A game titles these days) and i didn't experience a single bug in the entire play through. This game does a great job at setting the stage and things can get really intense at times, especially in the early game. Late game you become kind of unstoppable so the fear kind of takes a sharp dive. Regardless, most enemies won't go down too easily and weapons have a decent feel and weight, as well as enemy reactions feeling nice and heavy for the most part. The characters are also all very intriguing and the story never really gets dull. I think that this is more of an action/adventure game than survival horror but it does and great job regardless. This game is also quite short; I explored extensively and it only took me around 10 hours to finish the game on normal difficulty. Overall this is a very good game and for me it was a nice introduction to the RE franchise. I will definitely be checking out RE7 due to my experience with this game. This earns an 8.3 for me because of the length of the game and the fact that it became a little too easy on normal difficulty. That being said, I still think it is well worth the purchase and is a great introduction to the series for myself.

    Capcom se lució con este juego, todo está perfectamente manipulado para que la experiencia sea constantemente espectacular. En ningún momento pierde su ritmo, y te innova en cada sección a la que te enfrentas, mostrándote un poco de todo, rescatando lo mejor de toda la saga, y haciéndote ver que Resident Evil 7 fue sólo un ensayo para lo que harían posteriormente con este título.

    - ¿Quieres un survival horror? Lo tendrás.
    - ¿Quieres acción? La tendrás.
    - ¿Quieres miedo? Lo tendrás.
    - ¿Tienes todas las armas rebosantes de munición para poder defenderte? Tranquilo, la vas a pasar mal igual.
    - ¿Quieres un buen juego? Bueno, juega y juzga.

    Es increíble lo bien cohesionada que está la historia de este juego con el lore de todo Resident Evil, considerando que los acontecimientos están situados en una localización tan aislada. Ovaciones para el director, el escritor, y el equipo supervisor.

    Para exprimir la experiencia narrativa de este juego recomiendo haber jugado previamente Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, y bueno, dado que es secuela directa, mínimo Resident Evil 7 (Ojalá todos los numéricos). Lo agradecerás cuando notes las referencias. Si no es así no importa, te mearás encima igual.

    Un juego brillante, de esos poquitos que casi no hay, y para destacar aún más: Es un AAA, de esos que tienden a flaquear debido a las malas decisiones corporativas que involucran el manejo de la trama en la fase de diseño. --> Es como si para Capcom Resident Evil 6 nunca hubiera ocurrido (Es mi favorito en jugabilidad, pero es indiscutible que se les fue la olla con la puesta en escena de la trama).

    Me crié jugando todos los Resident Evil, y si este no es el mejor de todos, es el segundo mejor.
    ¿Deberías jugar Resident Evil Village? Hermano/a, buenas noticias, porque hoy es un buen día para estar vivo.
    Un juego hecho con amor incondicional.

    Notable.

    Pretty good game overall, definitely some parts that feel a little disjoined but I liked most of it. Definitely worth playing at least once though, even if you aren't a Resident Evil fan. I preferred RE7 to this game but its kind of like comparing Survival Horror to Action/Horror. It's more personal preference genre wise. Although Jack Baker > Lady D at least as far as character development.

    Superb game: amazing world design, well narrated story, horror combined with action and exploration elements in a good way. It's been criticized for being too actiony, however, one of sections is the scariest experience I've had in a game.

    What a ride! Resident Evil Village definitely feels like it went back to its roots, but it’s still able to capture that suffocating horror of Biohazard. This time around, things just got a little weirder and more action-packed.

    Although largely the same as Resident Evil 7, there is definitely a much different feel here. While 7 focused more on traversing tight spaces, minimal
    What a ride! Resident Evil Village definitely feels like it went back to its roots, but it’s still able to capture that suffocating horror of Biohazard. This time around, things just got a little weirder and more action-packed.

    Although largely the same as Resident Evil 7, there is definitely a much different feel here. While 7 focused more on traversing tight spaces, minimal lighting, and close-quarters combat; this was more open, more vibrant with faster gameplay. What you miss out on is the intimate horror of Biohazard, but in return, you get a very intricately designed world with some truly grotesque enemies and bosses. It doesn’t completely shy away from horror (one part in particular terrified me), but it’s definitely not the focus.

    Village actually felt like a proper Resident Evil game and one that I absolutely enjoyed. Keep this formula up, and I’ll always look forward to seeing what this series has to offer. Big thumbs up from me!

    Action- and Horror Elements are sprinkeled troughout the suprisingly big Map.
    Graphicly almost flawless. Some clipping and overlapping here and there. And some textures you shouldn't see upclose.

    Sadly not a Ten because after playing it 3 times for the chievos i hardly find any reason to play it again. Seeing it once, twice was exciting but not anymore. Still, a lasting impression was made.

    Conclusion:
    Blocking Blades with my bare Hands never felt better.

    WOW. I just have to say wow. Starting with the Graphics,
    This game stands out from the previous simply in the way the locations are designed. Characters are looking really nice and realistic. I am so impressed with this game.

    Story - The story is simple and sometimes simple is best. You don't get lost in a turn of what am I doing this for. I love the way this game catches you and brings you right in. Any player that's been with the series longer than 1 game will be asking SERIOUS Questions after the opening sequence.
    It feels like the game developers really fine tuned this game based off of the reviews from games before it. FUN to play, truly.

    Atmosphere - The game manages to keep you afraid during the day, the main town serves as a hub to a few other locations, each with their own distinct look and feel to it. Which makes this game fun to play. The main town can get. confusing however. but after beating the game 5 times I got used to it.

    Extras. OH BOY this game is packed with extras to keep you in the world for longer. There are challenges that will give you points to purchase guns and infinite ammo, which make the game more fun! The Mercenaries mode is super addicting and can be quite hard even for seasoned players.

    The game offers
    Casual
    Regular
    HardCore
    and Village of Shadows difficulty, and I will tell you. IT GETS DIFFICULT AS YOU GO DOWN THE LADDER.

    All in all a great experience and a fun play. I have over 120hrs in the game so far. saying its a short game is just not true

    Resident Evil Village is a successful game, that takes the best of both worlds – scary and action. An atmospheric trip to the dubious village and the adjacent manor will leave you with a lot of scars, as well as on the hands of Ethan Winters. Maybe there might have been a little less action.

    Resident Evil Village brings its vision to PC as well, and it does so in an extraordinarily effective way.

    Village is a concoction of spectacular amusements framed by an insane storyline, and this grotesque circus is varied enough for you to stay for one playthrough.
