    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

    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!

    Resident Evil Village es un buen RE, más tradicional para con la saga que su predecesor.

Lo cual implica menos miedo y más acción, aunque en este caso pocos puzzles acompañan, y sin duda mucho menos sigilo (que, cuando toca, funciona más bien flojo, haciendo esas secciones algo frustrantes). 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.

    Por todo ello, RE Village es un juego que está bien, entretiene y avanza la historia de la franquicia, aunque tampoco es rompedor en ningún sentido. Un 7.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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 riddle much more difficult to answer than every riddle combined, that was presented in Resident Evil Village. Though, that was far from the worst aspect in this game. Puzzles never had a great difficulty in the Resident Evil franchise. They were, and are here, too, mere minigames.

    This game is absolute mediocrity.
    Performance issues 1 1/2 years after release.
    UI/UX that is straight from a nightmare, including settings for resolution that would apply it the moment you change it. So going from the default resolution to my screen resolution took more time than some of the boss fights. Whoever gave this his OK should quit his job.
    Some areas were an utter catastrophy.
    The enemies had no weight to them. It felt like Ethan was shooting at cardboard.
    The enemies lacked variation and multiple hitboxes. Resident Evil 4 and 5 did this marvelously.
    Enemy variety? There were like 5 types of enemies, not including minibosses (Sisters) or Bosses. There was barely a noticable difference to all of them. Ugh. What a wasted opportunity. They even started with the fantasy realm, vampires and werewolfs.
    The gunplay was ridiculous. Look what the original Dead Space did, over 10 years (?) ago. And look at this.
    Also, this game lacks any survival feeling. Especially that last part where one runs with close to infinite ammo through the village just shooting like a maniac... yeah. Zero horror.
    This isn't a horror game, nor a survival game. It is a pathetic conveyer belt shooter. The best part of this game is the castle, and that by a massive gap to the "next best" area. I wonder. I immediately start thinking if this might be on purpose. I mean, the detail and interactions that one encountered during the castle part were certainly well done, not so much for the rest. The castle was also the only playable part pre-release (and the very first few minutes), as well being the only area that was present in trailers in more detail. Must have been a massive money-saver to only focus one the castle for presentation purposes while ignoring the quality for the rest. Good management here, Capcom.

    Compare this game to true survival horror games, like Evil Within or the already mentioned Dead Space. It's leagues apart.

    Keep in mind, this is Capcom, which developed a new installment for one of the biggest IPs.
    It is an insult to gamers, yet they don't seem to care.
    Oh and of course, the biggest gripe: This game is/was full price, and yet it is only ~7 hours long, WITH exploration.

    What a joke.

    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.
