    One of the best Re games so far. The perfect mix between re4 and re7. That's how things has to be done, Capcom!

    Just perfect, even better than RE7. I was expecting a bigger time campaign but with this game quality, I have no complaints. The felling of the final part is a little different than the felling of the rest of the campaign, it's not bad, just different and unexpected. CONGRATULATIONS CAPCOM!!

    This is The Best Resident Evil style there is. Not like RE7. RE7 had hardly anything to do with Resident Evil.

    This game is awesome: It’s a mix between RE2, 4 and obviously 7, with all of its pros but almost none of its cons. It’s funny, has a regular puzzle game and the gameplay is 7ths but it feels better in overall.

    Pros:
    -Good story with Chris redfield participation.
    -Tomb Rider-Like crafting recipes
    -A gunplay way better than 7ths
    -Enjoyable Boss fights and music
    -The best exploration (no map) in the whole series

    Cons:
    -WHY TF THERE ARE WEREWOLVES?!!
    -Has almost no extra content
    -Isn’t re playable at all

    Overall: it’s a good game and I enjoyed it soooo much. I was hyped and this game fulfilled my expectations. I had fun doing the treasures secondaries, the villains were memorable and it was fun to have trillions of bullets after playing the originals.
    Gameplay: 7/10 because the short FOV makes you sick after 30 minutes.
    Story: 9/10 very great, it only needed to be progressive and not a bunch of text at the en of the game
    Music: 6/10 I can barely remember some songs that are pretty great but aren’t memorable Keyboard controls: 0/10 the sensitivity sucks and you have to be close to the screen (Motion sickness with that FOV) If it was for me I would give it a 10/10 because I genuinely loved it, but being as objetive as I can; I give it a 8,5/10. The story isn’t as great as 0’s but the gameplay it’s probably the best it can get without going out the Re experience (COF RE6 COF) only better configs for pc and it would be a solid 9.    … Expand

    This game is so much more than i ever expected it to be. It's way longer than i expected it to be. I think some people don't understand that resident evil games have always been 5 to 16 hours, if you take your time it can be 20, but it's somewhere around there. Solid work by Capcom.

    I must confess that I am not the oldest fan of RE games, but in the last 5-6 years I have gained a great passion for this franchise and I am very pleased with this latest entry. The game feels amazing with great atmosphere and a very solid story that (for me) changed my perspective on Ethan Winters for the better and I can't wait to see what comes next, though, the ending did leave me worried as for what happens in the next installment to the other characters given that it sets up Rose (now a young adult) as a new main character.. and for the record I would be very interested in Ethan coming back in the future in whatever form because I will be missing this guy..    … Expand

    I started RE games not long ago.. after playing RE7 with a lot of tension.. I was ready for 8 and it is a great game.. little bit more action based but that’s because the combat feels a little more fluid.. and that’s a good thing in my book. No run and gun game but run and shoot as good as possible! Then run… loved the graphics and story..

    This was my first RE game that I played, though i've watched RE games since 1 so you can take this as a layman's review: The visuals, the gameplay, the story and bosses for most of the game is memorable, beautiful and really fun to encounter.

This game is one of the most fun first person game I've played in a while. The only issues I've had with it boil down to the Heisenberg boss battle and Chris's lvl being excessive action shooter gameplay that was not frightening at all. A colleague of mine who's played every game found these two parts annoying and just flat in its delivery of what he enjoys from these games: puzzles, crazy zombies/bosses, and fear. And I cant disagree with him. How you beat Heisenberg almost felt as ridiculous as chris punching boulders all over again. and Being Chris with endless bullets and grenades that take everything down instantly is just... well boring. That being said, exploring the village and experiencing the first bosses and their respective locations makes this game a well worth buy. If you like horror games, like the RE franchise, or just want to play a good game, this is one to pick up.… Expand

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil Village is one of the best game in this long RE franchise.

    The characters are really unique and some have their backstory, Ethan Winters (the guy we played) really have developed from the events of RE 7 (the bakers incident), he freaks out sometimes but most of the time he talks **** and challanged the boss which i found quite funny, The bosses are also very unique in their own way and i'm glad their backstory was explained not from some cutscene, the best boss was probably Karl Heissenberg which was the last of the 4 lords, Lady D have the look but Heissenberg have the personality and charisma, Donnie and angie boss fight section was the scariest part of the game and i see this part is probably what Silent Hill could have been.

    The gun gameplay is nice and the puzzle rewards was very rewarding, The Duke merchant was also a nice thing to add.

    The Chris Redfield part was great and i get some of DOOM vibes while playing him, although i really wish capcom makes it longer.

    Pros:
    1.Great action/horror game
    2.Great gameplay
    3.NGL but grown up rose kinda pretty
    4.Perfect emotional scene

    Cons:
    1.Not much ammo tho, in my case, sometimes i have few ammo left after defeating boss or stronger enemies.

The game has more action than resident evil 7 (not a bad thing), it balances perfectly horror and action, creating a unique playability, in the entire game the atmosphere flows between the two of them, switching depending the areas and enemies. The bossfights were great, except one of them.
    The story is sophisticated, interesting and thrilling, the rhytm is a bit slow in some parts but not for too long, as you advance in the game you will fell like if you were in a fable. The characters and antagonists are pretty nice, the most charismatic one is Karl Heisenberg, on the other hand, Ethan becomes a more interesting character in this one playing the role of father.
    Something bad about the gameplay, the enemies moves by zones,what i mean with this is that if you walk away of an specific area were some enemies appear they will inmediatly turn and get away from there.
    Personally, i really enjoyed the game, there is people saying that the game is too short, the game lasts 10 hours and if we have in mind the replayability and the extra mode "the mercenaries" that is going to give us a lot more hours (like every resident evil game). I extremely recommend this game if you liked resident evil 7 or resident evil 4, for me was one of the best RE games on the saga, at least in the top 5.    … Expand

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.

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

    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.

    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    My first resident evil game as well as my first review.

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.    … Expand

    1. “Short game or it’s 8 hours only.” This is straight up WRONG. The game can easily take more than 12 hours to finish. Some even beat it in more than that. The in-game timer literally lies to you, if you’ve played 12 hours, it will tell you that you spent 7 or 8 hours. RE8 has more e

    nice game for SURVIVAL-HORROR and RE games fan
    VILLAGE , CASTLE , SWAMP and other areas have a perfect and unique Atmosphere
    all boss fights are hard enough and cool too!
    but i think RE8 must be scarier than it was and have more jump scares
    but at last it was a wonderful RE for all RE fans in the world !

    A very entertaining mix of action and horror. Good story as well. Memorable antagonists. Uninspired puzzles. Great atmosphere and sound design. Good gameplay. Overall, a more focused and cohesive experience compared to RE7.

    Absolutely loved it, best RE game since RE 4 in my opinion. The graphics were phenomenal, the action was great, has a lot of replayability with new game+ and extra guns. The level and map designs were amazing. Some parts were genuinely creepy and scary. Highly recommend if you were a fan of RE 4.

    Resident Evil 8 Village feels like a classic resident evil game bringing back the quirkiness that the franchise was famous for.

It takes inspiration from various previous RE titles, yet it feels like its own new game. 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.

Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    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).

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.    This game was great!

    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!    … Expand

    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.

    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.
