    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.

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!    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

The closest thing to really describe Village is some sort of Devil May Cry mashup meets The Evil Within.

    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    An absolute gem.

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.

    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.

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

    De fato um excelente jogo, com um bom combate, uma história muito envolvente, um protagonista que agora é banhado em carisma e uma diversidade de cenários que é muito boa. Ora somos apresentados à uma vila opressiva e tensa, ora a um castelo belo e labiríntico, ora a um ambiente aquático, ora a uma casa que a primeira vista é assustadora e isso só vai se intensificando, e assim por diante.De fato um excelente jogo, com um bom combate, uma história muito envolvente, um protagonista que agora é banhado em carisma e uma diversidade de cenários que é muito boa.

É uma gigantesca evolução do Resident Evil 7, e pra mim acerta quase que perfeitamente a dosagem entre tensão, survivor horror e ação. Este jogo me convenceu das coisas bizarras que uma arma biologia pode virar sem forçar muito minha suspensão de descrença, e o dinamismo e a exploração me manteve entretido e envolvido o tempo todo.… Expand

    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.

    Ok, the game is fun and all (although the only point I felt anything close to scared was the baby part) but Lady Dimitrescu, that was such a hype before launch, being the first boss to die and never come back is sad.

    There may or may not be boulder punching. As someone who skipped Resident Evil 7 due to the change to first person, Village caught me attention due to the setting and it did not disappoint. It even swayed me on the first person perspective and is now my 3 favorite entry in the series.

    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

    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

    Resident evil village is a mix of the old and a mix of the new.. This is a first person survival horror game with more of an emphasis on weapons than purely sneaking and sriviving.. which works in this setting, but I would’ve liked this to be more gradual.
    Here once again like in resident evil 7 you play as ethan winters, searching for his daughter rose after their home is ambushed and the both of you are kidnapped, you find yourself in a village full of vampire meets werewolf character, and its so refreshing to not deal with lame zombies or mold creatures.. these enemies are terrifying when you first run into them… but I woulve loved a gradual lead up to actually getting some weapons in hand muck like in resident evil 7.. sneaking around this village, sneaking through the castle trying not to get caught as you got the items you needed, until finally you get a weapon, blast your way out of the castle and destroy the enemies in the village.. instead I almosti mmediatly felt untouchable.. which really killed the scary aspect of village for me.. there were definitely erie moments here for me.. but I never felt terrified the way I did in past resident evil games.. but as a more action almost first person devil may cry feeling game… village is great.. and I absolutely love the attention to detail and variety here… resident evil village is constantly switching up the areas as you set out to take down multiple targets in a vastly different setting from eachother.. theres so much to collect, find and upgrade like the older resident evil games, with the map color indicator letting you know when you’ve grabbed everything, and these a shop that just pops up along your journey to upgrade your weapons, buy ammo, or sell these crystals you pick up off of enemies, really giving you incentive to be aggressive here.. trying to afford all of the upgrades you can for your weapons..
    Resident evil village does get a little lame and obring in its final stretch. .but they all do.. but not nearly as bad as 7 biohazard… if youre ready for resident evil to get back to the way it used to but don’t want to let go the creepiness first person adds to the series.. resident evil village is a perfect mix.. I do again just wish they tried to scare me a little bit more… much like in the maiden demo… more of that mixed into resident evil village, and this couldve reached masterpiece level..

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

    RE8 can best be summarized as a modernized version of    Bitter-sweet to have experienced Resident Evil Village, for one thing, I think it is an incredible game and is reminder of an era when gaming was fun, but, it is the only release in 2021 that I thoroughly enjoyed, and it is alarming that only one game (outside of Rift Apart, which is not for me) was even worth any gamer's time...

    RE8 can best be summarized as a modernized version of RE4, the similarities are everywhere (including a few subtle nods to the past), bosses with their own dedicated sections, humble merchants, currency systems, inventory management, unique characters, as well as fun puzzles and secrets to figure out and discover, and I am sure there are even more similarities that I am forgetting as well. Now normally, it would be incredibly easy to criticize a game for copying a previously released title in their catalogue (FIFA & CoD come to mind), but Village does enough to separate itself from its predecessor.

    Village is the perfect combination of Action & Survival Horror genres, and while I certainly enjoy the two, I do think this game excels more when it is focusing on the latter. The Village, the Castle, and the Beneviento house, are the prime examples of the horror element of the series, while the Moreau reservoir, Stronghold, & the Factory certainly buildup the action side of things. I enjoyed all of the areas, but the Village & the Castle are my favourite areas in the game by far. It seems like more effort and attention were put into those two areas than the other three, and I'm sure that is contributing to people criticizing the game's length.

    The boss fights leave a bit to be desired, but the bosses themselves (as well as the merchant) are all very well done, from their designs, to the voice acting, the lore behind them all, Village really did a good job crafting their antagonists, something I wish I could say for the protagonists. The setting and atmosphere are also top-notch, it genuinely feels like you are exploring an Eastern European (Romanian?) village setting, but the atmosphere is what really stood out to me, I felt on-edge the whole time on my first play-through, and even on bits of my second, and this is in huge part due to the horror elements of the game being well-implemented. I never felt particularly safe, and while I was anxious about every move of progression, I certainly enjoyed being kept on my toes like I did in RE, RE2, RE3, & RE7. This is when Resident Evil is at its best, when it nails the survival horror atmosphere, and to my mind, there aren't many games that can do it better.

    Why 9, and not 10? Simple, the story is just not very good, and it really shows in the third act, and without giving too much away, there are a few contrivances and explanations which just seem implausible in a desperate effort to tie RE8 to the rest of the series, and RE7 in particular. Also, the less said about Chris' motives and arc, the better, he feels like he was shoe-horned in for fan service because I barely recognize him as the same character in previous games. This directly ties into my second issue, which is that I don't really feel the same way about Ethan & Mia, as I do about Jill, Claire, Leon, & Chris. There is nothing that I can really relate to or latch onto them with that keeps me emotionally invested, and it is sorely needed for a game that crafted its villains as well as Village (& RE7) does.

    + Phenomenal balance of survival horror and action
    + Well crafted characters (villains & merchant)
    + Incredible atmosphere and tension
    + Sound effects/soundtracks are terrific
    + Setting is incredibly well done
    + Combat is satisfying
    + Replay-ability
    + Game is aesthetically gorgeous
    + Exploration and puzzles are fun
    + RE4 Inventory management and currency system
    + Mercenaries mode returns
    + Loads of New Game Plus content

    - Weak protagonists (Ethan, Mia, & Chris)
    - Story could be better, weak third act
    - HDR is way too dark (looks incredible though)
    - Audio syncing issues during some dialogue sequences
    - Ray Tracing is barely noticeable

    Overall, Resident Evil Village is an incredible entry in the series and a must play for RE fans or fans of survival-horror, it is the only game I would recommend from 2021, and I am glad that Resident Evil is still going strong in an industry that is stagnating and being drained of creativity. 9/10.    … Expand

    What a ride! 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.

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

    *STORY*: Set a few years after the chilling events of the acclaimed Resident Evil 7, this brand new story opens with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new place, far from past nightmares. However, just as they are beginning their new life together, tragedy strikes again.

    Narratively well spun, modifying the origin of the saga and creating the future of the saga at the same time, it's a show where everything is millimetrically thought out.
    Why not 5 stars? Because of the lack of use of some characters that showed a lot of potential and, in the end, were left wanting more screen time.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Practically identical to its predecessor, but this time polished and expanded, it is simply perfect.

    *GRAPHICS*: While something more graphically impressive was expected, it's still a beast, and artistically it's the best of 2021 without a doubt.

    *SOUND*: This time the soundtrack takes a step aside to give more relevance to the sound effects... And how well it does it.
    The Spanish dubbing, again, very good.

    *INNOVATION: Resident Evil Village is not what we expected: it's something better.
    Clearly inspired by Resident Evil 4, one of its best installments, we are facing another of the pillars of the series that takes RE7 and simply takes it further.    … Expand

Ну ещё из-за таких сайтов как мета критика которые позволяют ставить оценки не купившим игру. Различие локаций и боссов между ними просто бомба. Играть интересно. Во второй локации жутко. Переход на Криса Рэдфилда помогает расслабиться и даёт нашпиговать биооружие свинцом по самое не балуй. Объяснение в итоге всего происходящего тоже порадовало.… 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a longtime Resident Evil fan and left a bit disappointed. While i think it was graphically very impressive and the setting in a remote snowed in village with a gigantic castle fantastic, i missed being scared like in older titles. Especially the later chapters gave me so much ammunition and threw hordes of enemies at me, that it almost felt like a shooter. I love Resident Evil when it goes more into a horror direction.

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

    On the other side that baby monster in the basement was one of the best moments in the game, i just wish there could have been more.    … Expand

    By now you've heard Village has more action than RE7 and isn't as scary, this is true.
    Not to say it doesn't have frightening moments, it most certainly does.
    Though it may not rely on horror as much as RE7, it more than makes up for that short coming with just downright fun gameplay.
    In my opinion, Resident Evil titles have always been more of horror adjacent action games.
    With that, I honestly think Village near perfects the RE formula.

    Looking at the story side of things, everything was pretty straight forward if you played RE7 and read the documents throughout.
    The game does have quite a few twists and fakeouts with a very divisive ending.
    I personally wasn't too bothered by the conclusion, but I think it could've been done better going by the promotional material.

    Regardless though, Resident Evil Village was a very fun experience that I think most players will enjoy.    … 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.
