    Over 90% Very Positive reviews on steam makes me really happy. It clearly shows what type Resident Evil games people really want to play.

    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.

    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
    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 said a lot of negatives but I dont think the game deserves less than an 8.

Моментами мне вообще Bloodborne напоминает. Очень разнообразный геймплей, контента вагон, исследование поощряется. Надеюсь, не будет спойлером, если напишу, что есть смысл возвращаться в уже пройденные локации. Ну и писали в новостях, что, мол, совсем не страшно в сравнении с Ре7... Не верьте!)) Есть здесь жуткие места.
    В общем - игра захватывает. На этом фоне странно видеть не очень высокий балл здесь от игровых изданий.
    Отдельно хочу отметить локализацию. Обычно ставлю английскую речь, но здесь голоса переводчиков на 5+, давно такой хорошей озвучки не встречал. В движения губ речь особо не попадает, но меня отсутствие липсинка не парит, главное - актеры хорошие.

    RE VILLAGE is probably one of the most well written story in the re franchise, if you played 7 and 8 you will clearly know what im talking about, not only is the writing genius the characters are amazingly written.

This game is way more intriguing than lady d even though i know a few people who bought the game for the memes my friends stayed for the story i think Heisenberg was even more interesting and mother Miranda, the action in the game was beautifully executed i felt like a bad ass, and i genuinely liked Ethan way more as a character the plot twist and how things all add up in the end was amazing, Ethan is a g, best father out there and one of the best re character in the franchise, not only do you bond and relate to the character Ethan, he is a really good guy a man who wants to protect his family, and you mourn for Ethan, Capcom did an amazing job of making you actually care for Ethan anytime a director or game developer add a new mc people always b*tch about how they aren't as cool as the og characters, but Ethan is arguably the best written character and better than some of the og characters, but its pretty even with Leon and Chris id say these 3 are the big trio for RE franchise, also this game is pretty f**king scary not too scary but you get a lot of "OH SH^T!" moments, now during the doll house mission is truly a horrifying experience when you reach to that part get ready for some spooky ass sh*t, but overall a good horror action game, definitely recommend to try its fun af you probably wont enjoy the beginning as much but as you get deeper into the game you're going to have fun 10/10.

    This is the best part in the series, over the past 10-15 years, very atmospheric and with a more or less sane plot.

    The gameplay - is standard as in other parts of the series. The plot - is strong and interesting. The atmosphere - is very coolly balanced, there is both horror and action (there is more horror). Difficulty - playing hardcore, you will get EVERYTHING that is required

    Difficulty - playing hardcore, you will get EVERYTHING that is required from a resident evile (at lower difficulties you will lose the whole essence of the game).
    Puzzles - there are a LOT of them and very diverse and very interesting.
    Back tracking - is probably the biggest of all the previous parts.
    Enemies - there are many of them, each with its own characteristics (both externally and gameplay).
    Bosses and mini-bosses - there are many of them, all varied and interesting, with several phases.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was not a fan of this game series. But now, I can say that I am a fan. Honestly, it was much scarier (after playing that legendary puppet scene) than RE7 and RE2 REMAKE. The first 4 hours are full of action but I loved the rest of the game than the first 4 hours. It is a complete masterpiece for me. Expand

    Don't listen to the critics. This is the one of the best RE games, its up there with RE4, 2Remake. RE8 blows RE7 outta the water. The combat is less clunky and more tight, tons of enemy variety. And more but i dont feel like typing. Trust me and get tgis ine

    Fantastic Game! Great Visuals and Sound, Artdesign, Horror, etc. Everything feels high quality.

    One big Advise: Start your first playthrough on veteran. Beginning is very hard, but after that the Game builds much more tension and is even better.

    Resident Evil Village is a special game in the Resident Evil series. It boldly tries the European legend elements and the perfect combination of mysterious creatures and biochemical viruses on the theme. It presents a very wonderful adventure experience for me. If you are a fan of the Resident Evil series or a action adventure games player, please don't miss it.

    Capcom has outdone themselves once again. After the absolute perfect re-invention of Resident Evil with RE7, the team has most certainly learned from their smarts and mistakes in the recent remakes. Resident Evil Village provides every single thing you'd expect from a game in this franchise AND MORE. RE4 stands as the most popular RE game thus far, and it has certainly got competition now.Capcom has outdone themselves once again.

    It's a fun game.
    I took almost an entire day to beat it (restarts and all).
    The writing is pretty awful but you don't dwell on it until almost the very end.

At the end I felt like the developers were trying to send a message (literally--with cards) that they were nuking the improvements of the series since RE 7, and that was a real let-down. But I liked this game a lot despite all the missteps and you will too.

    Finally Horror game for more open-minded people. I'm so tired of these boring Outlast type "Horror" games, where you just run away and hide like little b_tch. There's nothing scary about that, it's just annoying. Just cause you can fight back and upgrade guns, doesn't mean that game is not scary anymore. This logic makes no sense.

Having guns and actually fighting your way through scary locations, fighting scary enemies, trying to survive, scary ambient music. That's what horror games are all about. That's what makes them enjoyable. Resident Evil 4 did it already in 2005 and Dead Space (inspired by Resident Evil 4) did it in 2008, but for some reason this amazing concept got lost in time. Thank god Capcom is finally bringing it back. 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.
