    Resident evil 8 is one of the best resident evil games and has a good amount of horror and action. For reference it's like 4 and 7 combined but scarier than 4 and more action than 7. Villains are very good imo and ethan is alot better than he was in 7. Some of the puzzles are pretty good and satisfying too. If you like survival horror games or or resident evil games then you will love this game.

    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.

    Conclusion: It's a GOTY contender but i'd be suprised to see this game wins it    … Expand

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

    VILLAGE , CASTLE , SWAMP and other areas have a perfect and unique Atmosphere
    all boss fights are hard enough and cool too!

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.

    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).

    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

    When I first started playing the game I had mixed feelings about it. I didn't like how the game started out , felt very scripted in a very bad way. The game gets better after surviving the werewolf attack. The castle was a lot of fun but I was disappointed because I thought we would see the tiddy lady more but she isnt in the game a whole lot.

    I still don't like Ethan as a character and I didnt care for the ending of the game as I saw it coming from the beginning. My fiancee who doesn't play games was also mentioning things that would happen before they would happen.. So the game is predictable but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.
    I actually like the direction that the games are going in. It's a much better direction then zombies with machine guns and super intelligence. For Resident Evil to stay alive they needed to change the formula and I think they did a fantastic job....On PC there is no FOV slider which sucks because the game feels like your playing inside a shoe box with a wide angle lens. It can be hard on the eyes at times especially when moving quickly.
    I was hoping the puzzles would be a lot harder in this one but they are retard proof. It would be nice if there were some challenging puzzles but they are pretty straight forward. I would also like to mention that on normal difficulty this game is way too easy. I regret not playing on a harder difficulty the first time around. I blew right though the game without much trouble.

    It's a very fun game. Short and sweet. I like it a bit better than resident evil 7 and as much as I loved Resident Evil 7 , I didnt really feel like replaying that game. Resident Evil 8 I feel like I want to replay so I suppose that is a good thing. I didn't try mercenaries yet.

    If you are use to fps games I suggest playing on hardcore the first time around as normal is a cakewalk. On normal there is ammo everywhere and you can also craft your own ammo too, you never really feel like you are in danger like the old resi games..

    I bought this game on a steam sale and was pretty happy that it exceeded my expectations. I think it's the 3rd best Resident Evil game after RE2 Remake and RE4.

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.    … Expand

    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.

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!    … Expand

    Resident Evil really has built itself from the ground up. I gave the previous game a 7.5, but this game deserves a solid 8. It really has gone back to its old roots that has made it good and they kept the characters making it more of a series than normal. I loved the voice acting and gameplay, it was not as scary, but because I was able to fight more than 7, I enjoyed it more.

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."    … Expand

Well, it depends on what kind of Resident Evil player you are. If you prefer the OG RE games to the new ones, like 4, then you are probably not gonna get the experience you want. Even if you liked 7, it is not guarranteed you will love this one. Having said that, nothing in this game is poorly made and out of character. It is a great Resident Evil and in my opinion a fine installment to the series. The voice acting is top notch with the cheesy, b movieness you'd expect from a Resident Evil. The graphics are breathtaking with some painting-beautiful vistas. As for the gameplay, not something new to say, it is basically RE7.

Weapons are upgradeable, exploration is rewarded with more coins or even equipment or upgrades. Enemy variety is ok, nothing spectacular but at least more than in RE2&3 R. Story is as every RE a mixture of over the top and your average horror clichee.
    As almost every RE game 8 is no different in replayablitity. You unlock the mercs mode after finishing the main game and can buy weapons or infinite munition for challange points which you get after doing certain things ingame like finishing the game with knife only or find every collectible.

    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

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.    … Expand

    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 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

    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

    I'll be honest and upfront; I'm not thrilled with this new direction.

    Resident Evil has been such a huge part of my childhood, and still to this day my favorite horror franchise in video games. It is my go-to series for shooting, horror, action, ridiculous situations, and cheesy stories and dialogue. I am overwhelmed with thoughts for the latest game, so here is my review after    I'll be honest and upfront; I'm not thrilled with this new direction.

    Resident Evil has been such a huge part of my childhood, and still to this day my favorite horror franchise in video games. It is my go-to series for shooting, horror, action, ridiculous situations, and cheesy stories and dialogue. I am overwhelmed with thoughts for the latest game, so here is my review after completing the game recently.

    Village is at it's absolute best when you are exploring the environment, upgrading your arsenal, and making progress. The atmosphere and exploration are truly excellent. I really enjoyed the setting and environments. Pretty much every map was well designed and visually stunning. It feels like old school resident evil, which I thought was lacking in RE7.

    The characters in Village are a mixed bag. Duke was surprisingly great, and I'd love to see more of him in the future. Heisenberg was also really interesting, and I really wish he and Ethan could have joined their efforts to fight Miranda. That would have been a nice twist and shaken up what otherwise just felt like more of the same. Miranda's other three children were good enough to keep me interested, and they were exceptionally well acted. Miranda herself fell kind of flat for me.

    As for Ethan and his family, well...not a fan. In fact, they really got on my nerves in both this game and RE7. Ethan is supposed to be an avatar for the player, but that really does not work for me. It's a trope in video games that needs to go away. On top of that, he is very whiny and talks way too much to be the silent protag type. This conflicting of ideals just does not work for me. I feel like the game was supposed to be more dramatic, sad, empathetic, etc. Like it wants me to take it seriously. That just does not make sense in a ridiculous, totally unrealistic RE game.

    Resident Evil "B movie" narrative is at it's best when the characters are funny and the dialogue overflows with cheese. Leon in RE4 has to be my favorite example of this. He is completely un-phased by the horrific things happening to him. It's like a joke to him. He is completely capable of dealing with any threat, to the point that he just mouths off the dumbest one-liners. And yet, you can tell he cares about people and has some sense of justice. Ethan is like the polar opposite to me, and really sucks the fun out the experience. He's pretty much a downer the entire time.

    Chris was similarly disappointing. I don't need to explain why. Even his teammates told him how much of a jerk he was.

    And that brings me to the story. RE has never really been about the story. I don't really have much to say here, except that it's typical crazy RE. Unfortunately the main characters kind of ruined it for me. It was silly and ridiculous, and nonsensical. Which is a good thing. But ultimately didn't really matter because of the characters.

    I appreciated the inspiration they drew from RE4. They nailed the merchant and exploration. Searching every room for treasure and resources is always a blast. That said, I feel like they missed what really made me want to play RE4 so many times: the guns. RE4 has the best gunplay in the series, and really in any shooter I've played. Each gun had it's own personality, and it's own special name. You can feel every shot. You can immediately feel the upgrades as soon as you fire. You can really feel the impact of your choices in upgrades by the end of the game.

    Village, on the other hand, doesn't really have any of this. It just feels like generic CoD guns to me. Guns have standard-issue feel; even the names are generic. This, unfortunately, is the best way to describe the gunplay. Generic. By the end of the game, I really felt no difference in my arsenal from when I started. Most shots didn't even phase the enemies, other than lowering their health. Unloading an entire handgun clip into an enemy, only for it to keep moving as if you hadn't even shot it, is not very satisfying. Huge missed opportunity here.

    Some aspects of the gameplay were really well done. The transitions from horror/action were telegraphed in each section so you knew what to expect. Several boss fights were engaging and well done, like Moreau (fish guy). Miranda was pretty stunning, visually. Each of the vampire sisters was short and sweet, with a cool finale on the rooftops with Lady Dimitrescu. Most of the puzzle solving, while easy, was enjoyable. I especially liked the ball puzzles. Gotta say though, those torch puzzles can go to hell.

    I adored the section with the slug baby. Just overall fantastic. Even the puzzles leading up to it were engaging and dynamic. Very well done. The doll boss fight was a bit lame, but that section overall was maybe the best part.

    Honestly this was only a fraction of my thoughts on this game and modern RE, but I have to end somewhere. I will just say, I hope to see more returning characters in the next game. I really don't care about Ethan's family.    … Expand

    Also i never cared much for Ethan and his family, his over the top voice lines already bothered me in the other title.

Como suele pasar con los RE la historia no es ninguna maravilla, y en buena medida se condensa en el principio y en el final, y deja algunos flecos sin explicar y cosas abiertas probablemente para el futuro (además de complicar más la timeline general de la saga con sus "revelaciones"). La acción es bastante entretenida y la exploración también, aunque tiene un error de diseño importante en este aspecto, ya que no te deja regresar a zonas ya completadas una vez sales de ellas. Igual error está en el hecho de que no puedas comprar cosas de vuelta que has vendido, menos las armas, lo cual es especialmente grave con la comida ya que te puede pasar como a mi que hayas vendido comida (que no se puede reponer en un playthrough) antes de que el menú de cocina se haya desbloqueado (y es muy importante) y por tanto hay platos que nunca vas a poder hacer salvo que hagas nuevos playthroughs. Y creo que le habría venido bien unos protagonistas algo más ágiles para hacer el combate más dinámico e interesante.

    Gráficamente el juego está bastante bien, especialmente en cuanto a diseño de la atmósfera. Algunas zonas son un poco arquetípicas de más, pero tienen bastante encanto igualmente. El sonido tiene un muy buen nivel también, aunque eché en falta algo más de presencia del acompañamiento musical. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no me encontré con ningún bug.

    The gameplay almost feels like Its one step up from legends of grimrock. The combat and guns are very unresponsive and feel like I'm shooting a BB gun. The mobs hardly stagger unless you're using a shotgun, and there is a VERY basic block/parry system. The mobs are bullet sponges and there isn't much to the gunplay besides aiming for the head and holding the block button if they get close.

    The first major where you have to hold your ground against some war wolves is ultimately what made up my mind to refund the game. The game doesn't tell you what you're actually suppose to do during this part of the game. It seems like there is a very bad scripted scene where a mob is suppose to throw you into the river, but it's not clear at all what actually triggers this. I would kill a bunch of mobs, run around the map for several minutes, and I even tried a combination of the two a few times. Even after watching a video I still failed to trigger the event after a few more attempts. Ultimately I was approaching the two hour refund window, realized I wasn't having fun at all, and ended up refunding the game. You can read several complaints about this scripted scene on the steam discussion forum.

    The game is basically a scripted corridor simulator without a shred of horror. Obviously I seem to be the minority in my opinion, so maybe RE is simply appealing to a new fanbase now. I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the new Resident Evil's, but I just can't seem to get into these new resident evil games at all.    … Expand

Somebody says that this is not even RE game because of the plot and vampires with werewolfs, but I think plot in RE games was not really the most important thing, and for me plot of RE2, for example, not that interesting because the idea of the game isi am happy Capcom try to find new ideas and new features for the RE serie, and this game has very good redesign, which I like so much.

I am glad that developers look forward and try to give RE serie new some fresh content. It is not really 10/10 of course, because ideal game is only The Witcher 3 for me, but as RE game it is really amazing and I think we should endorse Capcom for this… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is a big disappointment after RE Biohazard.

    Pros.:
    - Characters of Duke, Lady D., her daughters.
    - Further development of Ethan's story, its closure.
    - Some connections to the original RE storyline.
    - Exploration and some small things to upgrade (weapons, food, etc.). That makes gameplay more interesting.
    - Village and Eastern Europe entourage.
    - The possibility to 'pause' the exploration of the main storyline and explore the surroundings.
    - The blend of RE4 and RE2 regarding explorations and gems.
    - The doll boss and the puzzle to 'escape the room' task. Direct reference to Clancy's 'Birthday' puzzle and Clancy's misfortune. Also, scary and disgusting moment.

    And now we go to cons. Many many cons.:
    - Too short with lady D. and daughters, too easy.
    - Need to have access to all the loot and animals locations regardless you left them or not.
    - Too much crafting. It's not the same waste Fallout 4 was exploiting but still. In the original you could find the ammo and stuff. Here the developers probably thought "wait a second, it's the village in the Eastern Europe, you can't find all that ammo. Let's do some crafting. Yeah, scrap metal everywhere". Well. Even with the original Racoon City it was odd to see all that loot. But that's RE. We love it for it.
    - Redesign of Chris's face again. It's just a facepalm. They just can't pay the same people who were in 2017 to use their features? Really? Why the hell do you need to change faces over and over again from game to game? It's idiocy. It's just retarded way of the development. Pay 200 shekels and use old Mia and Chris's faces. They didn't even pay to show Evelin's face, mimics. What a dumb cut scene when she was floating above the river talking to Ethan! The were so lazy to add any animation.
    - Another idiocy is going into blockbuster style. Again. We loved RE Biohazard because it was cameral isolated environment just like IN THE ORIGINAL RE, RE0 and RE2. We love franchise because of this. Not because of CoD style gameplay like in RE5, 6 or here in the second half of the game.
    - They used only ONE book and a bunch of photos to refer to the old Umbrella corp. and the issue of Spencer. Bravo. Just bravo. Nobody knew anything, Miranda didn't give a damn about Umbrella. It's just Spencer was inspired by her research. And never mentioned her. Anywhere. For the last seven+ games. It's idiocy. Do you even have scriptwriters who PLAYED the games? Why couldn't you connect the events of Las Plagas and Spencer and his company? It was easy: Umbrella and Spencer tried to hire the promising researcher he remembered from the previous years but she refused saying she was busy. Spencer did some research using his fellas (maybe even Wesker) and revealed Miranda works on mold that is a 'parasyte' organism. In a way similar to Las Plagas. Spencer rejects the idea of further development but Wesker takes it into account while creating Uroboros. Bingo!
    - The game takes too much from Prey. RE is actually System Shock style game (first SS was released before first RE, but SS is an FPS and RE was a 3d person survival adventure horror). So, coming to FPS especially when the main character is mold - direct reference to Prey and their mimics. In the Louisiana environment and mysterious events with the Baker family it was fine. But here with more action it looks too obvious.

    So, the game worth playing. But it's a step down from RE Biohazard. Story is much dumber, less promising, less touching, less interesting. And the ending is garbage. I would rather play a game entirely in the castle and with lady Dimitrescu as a main villain than this.    … Expand

    Mediocre game compared to RE VII. Was hoping for more. Locked FOV to 81 causes motion sickness.

    Overall a lackluster game. I really wanted to enjoy this as I loved 7 but this just didnt do it for me.

    The game itself looked great but everything else seemed to not meet expectation. The best parts of the game were over before you knew it. Boss fights lacked creativity and the story was subpar. I will give a plus to the lore added to the universe however, as the "science" behind    Overall a lackluster game. I really wanted to enjoy this as I loved 7 but this just didnt do it for me.

    I will give a plus to the lore added to the universe however, as the "science" behind everything is very interesting. My wife is watching the game played on YouTube and having the knowledge of the game then watching it with here as been more interesting than the game itself.

    A shame, but I will look forward to Re9    … Expand

    As much as I like this game, I feel that there wasn't enough 'fear' I experienced. I wish there was more of the horror we saw in previous games. Although I know this is a love letter to other titles in the franchise, it still feels as though the devs missed the mark a bit with what I expected.

    Ultimately a good game just not what I thought it'd be. It is also a bit short...

    I prefer the old style Resident Evil games, rather than the new one's.
    But, over this personal preference, the plot of the game is just too nonsensical in many points.
    The gameplay is good and the graphic is nice, so I guess it is enough for the horror genre to work here, at least on these aspects.

    RE: Village has Good Graphics, but terrible story, silly plot, artifical difficulty, and one of the worst mechanics I have ever seen in a game - blocking blades and giant weapons with bare hands. The internal mechanics are inconsistent, with one enemy type (flies) being vulnerable to something when convienent, and invulnerable to it when inconvienent. Many aspects of the story fail underRE: Village has Good Graphics, but terrible story, silly plot, artifical difficulty, and one of the worst mechanics I have ever seen in a game - blocking blades and giant weapons with bare hands. The internal mechanics are inconsistent, with one enemy type (flies) being vulnerable to something when convienent, and invulnerable to it when inconvienent. Many aspects of the story fail under any level of scrutiny, such as where did all the people come from to be monsterized? They even go full magic at various times, and not just for bosses. It also suffers from cut-scene-itis, with far too many locking you from actually being able to play the game. The lycan slobbering on your face one is particularly annoying, and does not give any way to cut it short as it did back in RE:4. In fact I would not even call this a RE game, this is something else with a few of the trappings of the RE franchise.

    The silly part is that the devs want you to play this multiple times, yet did not build the game with nearly enough randomization to keep it interesting. So on subsequent playthroughs it gets old pretty fast. People keep claiming this is the spiritual successor to RE:4, but if so, it is the idiot cousin as RE:4 has far more engaging mechanics, and combat that is far more satisfying due to variety of combinations. In RE:Village, it just gets very bullet spongy.

    One noteworthy bug is that the "lycans" (which are allergic to flour apparently) animation does not play properly, so you have to start your block about 1 second early.    … 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.

    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.
