    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!

    If you are hungry after RE4 try this smaller release. It has better story little worse shop and knife usage but overall same good game like RE4.

    The best RE I have played, ( I played 2 Remake, 4 Remake,7 and 8). The perfect balance between Horror and Action, just perfect.

    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.

I would also like to see them step away from things like mixing herbs and also buying weapons from around the map vendors etc, some of these mechanics just feel very dated now. But I still just can't deny how much of a well made game this is regardless. Expand

    One word is enough: Perfect.

    A game could be so well adapted to the fps genre. It's great in every way, not just gameplay.

    De fato um excelente jogo, com um bom combate, uma história muito envolvente, um protagonista que agora é banhado em carisma e uma diversidade de cenários que é muito boa. Ora somos apresentados à uma vila opressiva e tensa, ora a um castelo belo e labiríntico, ora a um ambiente aquático, ora a uma casa que a primeira vista é assustadora e isso só vai se intensificando, e assim por diante.De fato um excelente jogo, com um bom combate, uma história muito envolvente, um protagonista que agora é banhado em carisma e uma diversidade de cenários que é muito boa.

É uma gigantesca evolução do Resident Evil 7, e pra mim acerta quase que perfeitamente a dosagem entre tensão, survivor horror e ação. Este jogo me convenceu das coisas bizarras que uma arma biologia pode virar sem forçar muito minha suspensão de descrença, e o dinamismo e a exploração me manteve entretido e envolvido o tempo todo.

    Fantastic survival horror game with an outdated combat system but gorgeous graphics.

    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.

    Generally nice. It has everything you expect from a horror game. Combat system is nice. The place and environment are beautiful. I think the music is insufficient, but I did not feel the lack.

    A perfect blend between survival horror and action although the middle part of the game story is lacking.

    Pros
    + Thrilling, heart-racing combat
    + Memorable boss
    + Touching ending

    Cons
    - Explorer part is too easy
    - Story in middle part of the game feels lacking

    Resident Evil Village is a love letter to the whole franchise. The game takes a lot of elements from Bloodborne and Dark Souls. If you have played these games you'll know what I mean.

    Also, it's very long if you wish to find every optional treasure, secret and discover the lore through the description of items and documents. My first playthough took me 24 hours. This is my favorite

    Has become my favourite in the series. The performances from the actors is the best in the franchise, and everything in the game feels like an improvement over what Resident Evil 4 was doing. If you're looking for action horror in the Resident Evil franchise, this is the best one for that.

    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.
