    História muito boa que se linka com o resto da franquia, gameplay excelente, pegaram o melhor de muitos jogos como o Re1, 4 e Code Verônica e fizeram algo muito bom, com algumas partes exageradas mas n comprometeu o excelente game que o Village é

    Inspired by best Resident Evil game (Resident Evil 4), it has it's own twists and turns that make it truly fun and unique game. Well done Capcom. Can't wait for Resident Evil 4 Remake!

    i didn't like the story, very borring, short and everything was like meeh, alright
    it wasn't as scary at resident evil 7, i expected more
    the gameplay was fun ngl, but that is all
    such a wasted potential

    sorry but this is not a game that should cost 60 bucks, no way, 40 max

    I think the game is very good all though the middle part of the game seems a little bit lazy made but all in all it's a well made sequel to the seventh part, especially the endgame part is breath taking. I really recommend it to every one who played the prequel Resident Evil 7.

    Un juego excelente que aunque no perfecto ha cumplido con todas las expectativas que tenía y las ha sobrepasado.

    El 10 no es porque el juego ha sido objetivamente perfecto, pero ha sido perfecto para mí que soy un fan más de esta saga desde prácticamente mis 23 años. Con pequeños errores y enormes aciertos Capcom me dio la entrega de horror y acción que tanto esperé. Jefes épicos,

    Jefes épicos, un gran arsenal, momentos de mucho terror así como momentos de muchísima acción y un desenlace totalmente revelador que trae TODA la esencia Resident Evil a la mesa. Mirar el mapa de nuevo y el diseño de niveles recuerda mucho a los clásicos, a tal punto que más de un veterano pueda "leer" los patrones y anticiparse a ciertos eventos tan característicos de la saga. ¡Epiquísimo!

    Oh and it drops randomly for unknown reasons. And the thing is that when the fps has dropped the only thing that works most of the time is to restart the game, and where I am now that does not work almost as if I have opened up to much of the game and now it is laggedylag time.
    And before anyone comes ranting about "game needs ssd MAN, that is the new thing" let me say that i run the game on an m2.ssd which is much faster then your regular old ssd so no that is not the issue. The game needs a patch.
    And speaking on needing a patch. I see that the consoles have been patched some times, yet more then 3 weeks since launch this problem has still not been fixed on pc. Personally I will wait until this is fixed before continuing to play, 0/10 until then.

Its not that RE: Village is a bad game why I'm giving it a low rating, quite the contrary as the game itself is pretty good, the reason I'm giving it a low rating is because the game should not be called Resident Evil but be a seperate franchise of its very own with its own name, you can't help but hate Ethan (who you play as) as well, let's hope this is the last we see of this blank uninteresting slate of a character. The closest thing to really describe Village is some sort of Devil May Cry mashup meets The Evil Within.

    This isn't Resident Evil, not as everyone knows it, stop bastardising and sullying this style of game and what everyone knows Resident Evil to be Capcom.

    This is my first Resident Evil game (other than RE2 remake) since RE:4. If this is the direction they're going in with this franchise now, I am so very happy to continue purchasing these games. I'm playing on pc with an RTX 3080 and let me tell you, this might just be the most beautiful game I have ever ever played. Sometimes the hair on the character models can be wonky, but that's the only complaint I have. End of story. The rest of this game is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The game length is perfect, the combat, graphics, sound design, all perfect. I have verrrrrry few complaints where the actual game is concerned. However, I do have issues with the port itself in terms of UI navigation.

    Navigating any menu or even the map on mouse and keyboard is awkward and counterintuitive. It works, and I really don't take THAT much issue with it, but it is there. It's workable, I can live with it, but for those that find these things a big issue, it's worth noting. And, so ends my list of complaints for this game. The rest is absolutely amazing and you SHOULD buy it. Seems we have a shortage of good story driven single player games these days. This one makes up for it.

    9.5/10, MUST-BUY.

    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.

    El sonido a mejorado mucho respecto a su anterior título tanto es así que es uno de los apartados a destacar de esta entrega, se siente como estuvieras dentro del cuerpo del protagonista y todo suena espectacular.

    Personalmente la cámara en primera persona no me convenció en su día pero en esta entrega se siente más RE que su predecesor y sabe llenar a los fans más veteranos, muy buen trabajo.

The RE ENGINE is insane, the graphics that this game has leaves you with your mouth open! Anyway, I don't have much more to say, I'd rather you play it and experience it yourself!

    Bastante genial, grandes personajes, buena accion, increíble colección del mapa, una historia paternalista que enamora y un final bastante interesante.

    Great graphics. Minor use of ray-tracing and good implementation of HDR. Bummer that DLSS was not implemented.

    Pretty solid gameplay.

    The only negative comments is that the weapon upgrade system could be refined. It is annoying to invest in a certain weapon to only have a new one randomly show up later in the game. I did not feel I the currency/shop system was very impactful.

    Played on standard difficulty.

    Love this game. This games environment is one of the best I have ever experienced. Overall RE8 has a short runtime but it felt a lot longer than it was, NG+ is a thing and there is a ton of repeat content so that is a major plus. The lore is some of the best ive seen honestly.

Characters/villains were pretty darn good with only a couple bumps in the road here and there. In my opinion the gameplay is actually really good contrary to what I have heard from others. The horror is honestly pretty light but there were times I was fearing for my life. Its mainly a survival action thriller and there is nothing wrong with that. Amazing game, good job Capcom. Expand

    The game is good, but is a step back from everything RE7 got right. Too much action, too little "resident evil" some times. The gameplay is fun and it looks beautiful, but i wish the series return to the RE7 style.

    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.
