    My personal "game of the year". Such a great adventure! So memorable and impressing characters, story and locations designs. I regret only one thing, that i cant forget story and play again as first time.

    Another well done Resident Evil game. Village might be the best Resident Evil game to date. You should start with Resident Evil 7 and then play Village as the games stories are connected. Characters, story, villains, weapons, environments are all very cool. The game looks gorgeous on 1440p ultra wide monitor. i had no issues playing the game on highest settings (3060Ti, 5800x, 32GB DDR4).Another well done Resident Evil game.

    An absolute gem.

    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.

    I loved RE7, Loved it. IMO its up there with the greats in Survival Horror history. It had the Atmosphere and setting that made for a Masterpeice. I am Happy to say Capcom has made Lighning strike twice with RE8V. Its got everything 7 had with an awsome new setting and even some improvments.

I hear alot of new horrors fans claiming combat takes away the fear in these game and they want all horror games to be these walking simulators we got dozens of this generation. That is rubish. Combat is an intregal part of true survival horror. Go back and play the OG resident Evil and Silent Hill.games they are full.of shooting. It just that later games were larger so there was more of everything including enemyencounters.
    The trick is to ballance the combat. Ammo conservation, lining up the shot and positioning is what builds tension in true survival horror. Not just jump scares and mountains of blood and gore.
    If you run from an enemy because runing is the only mechanic at your disposal, that to scary, thats not tension. When you run because you cant trust your self to line up a shot due to low ammo , your location being to constictive and the heaviness of the situation, thats true fear and tension.
    I really wish people would stop making statments like combat in survival horror makes it just like COD. The last 8 years have been terible for horror all we have got is walking simulators. The RE games are the last games staying true to the genre. Just let us have these games.. If you truly cant understand the nuances and complexities between the different controls and mechanics in diferent genres, do you really need to give an opinion.. There plenty of walking simulators for those that want them.    … Expand

Addresses some of the issues I had with the RE-games (the old ones they made remakes of), "tyrants" are now fun and interesting to face (they were just an annoyance in the old games). No more ridiculous difficulty levels where missing one bullet means the game needs to be restarted. No more "over-the-top" puzzles. Some might call this a bad thing, but I think the changes are for the good - the more interesting story and enjoyable fighting has replaced what was previously padded out with frustrating sections that was just hard for the sake of slowing down your progression.

    Gives you a bit of a taste of different horror genres and lots of interesting characters with a unique feel to them. Its really hard to find to something to complain about in this game. Perhaps I would have liked a bit more enemy variety and some cooler weapons to play with, its mostly rather traditional stuff. But what is there is pretty perfectly done.    … Expand

    But this one is an incredible game with perfect pacing and immersion.I'm not going into more details, but if you like the theme, just buy it.

    Where to start, I guess to put it simply, Resident Evil Village is a very good game, and a very good Resident Evil game at that, too.

    Capcom weren’t joking when they said they put a lot of effort into making sure the actual village in the game is a character on its own. But it’s not just the village, really; their marketing team made quite sure not to show us a lot of the game and…there’s a lot of game here besides just “tall vampire lady”, her castle and a village.

    It’s simply one of the most unique Resident Evil games so far, with many varied environments and areas to explore. It’s also not a short Resident Evil game, it’s not the longest, perhaps RE 4 or 6 hold that title, I’d say, but it has a decent duration if you take your time or, like me, your first playthrough is on Hardcore Difficulty.

    I was never bored by any of the new areas we visit in the game; there are four main areas, each one corresponding to one of the four Lords in the game, but there are also other areas and side zones to discover.
    The seamless transitions between areas in this game (there are no loading screens), make it look like it’s actually pretty decently sized and it feels great.

    It was already after I completed Dimitrescu’s Castle that I thought to myself: “Oh yeah, this is definitely a very good Resident Evil game” and I have to say that whoever are responsible for designing this Castle at Capcom did a very good job, it’s an amazing place to explore early in the game and a 120% Resident Evil experience. The amount of detail put into these designs is really something.

    Same can be said about the remaining zones in the game, after how incredible the Castle is, it’s difficult to top that, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the areas that we get to explore later in the game as well. There was not a single zone or area that seemed poorly designed or rushed to me, and each new area brought something new and different into the gameplay. One of my favorite sections of the game does not even involve combat in any way, without getting into spoilers: it was incredible, and scary as hell, didn’t last as long as the Castle, but the intensity and tension were off the charts in there, so it really felt longer than it is, because it was so well executed.

    I really liked that Ethan has now an actual developed personality in this game, compared to the previous one, the character has come a long way and we get to see so many aspects of him in this game. As in the most recent games, all the characters are really well done and the voice actors and motion capture performers (which are the same for the English audio, mostly, they do the voices and the capture themselves) really once again did a very good job with all of them.

    Of course, having played the latest RE games I instantly recognized some familiar voices, and I’m glad because they are all really good actors and I’m happy that Capcom is taking care of their voice and performance talent here.

    When it comes to this specific PC version of the game, I found it runs pretty decently on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti setup It is definitely a more demanding game than RE 7, RE 2 and 3 remakes, and we even have the option to use Ray Tracing now, making it even more demanding. But it is also the best looking RE Engine game so far, that is undoubtedly true as well. That’s not to say the game looks bad without RT, it doesn’t, I think it still looks great without it as well.

    I did find an issue with the game that should be patched: minimizing the game, or switching settings once we’re in game can lock the game into a very low frame-rate state only fixable by restarting the game and this was already an issue in the demo too. This can be avoided by leaving to the main menu and making the changes in there, but it’s still an annoying issue.

    There’s also no FOV slider present in the options, a big oversight, considering all the recent games have it, and I hope it gets patched in soon, but for now there are mods out there that work to increase the FOV, with no issues.

    Overall, this game is an incredible survival horror experience from start to finish, that continues the story that RE 7 started, and ties in with the lore of the whole series with some very cleverly placed allusions and clues, and not so subtle ones as well.
    RE Village is so good that it even enhances all of what RE VII did, making the both of them a cohesive experience very much worth revisiting back to back, and I think that's really great.

    The RE Engine once again continues to evolve into the new generation so…good job Capcom, this one was pretty good.    … Expand

    Wow. Capcom really outdid themselves. They managed to come up with something new and unique in terms of narrative, while all tieing it back into the already established RE universe. The design was fantastic, a perfect mix of horror and action. A really emotional and well-written end, with room for more to expand and great stories to follow. It's a bit sad it's already over!

    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.
