    Resident Evil Village is a love letter to the whole franchise. The game takes a lot of elements from Bloodborne and Dark Souls. If you have played these games you'll know what I mean.

    Also, it's very long if you wish to find every optional treasure, secret and discover the lore through the description of items and documents. My first playthough took me 24 hours.

    Capcom se lució con este juego, todo está perfectamente manipulado para que la experiencia sea constantemente espectacular. En ningún momento pierde su ritmo, y te innova en cada sección a la que te enfrentas, mostrándote un poco de todo, rescatando lo mejor de toda la saga, y haciéndote ver que Resident Evil 7 fue sólo un ensayo para lo que harían posteriormente con este título.

    - ¿Quieres un survival horror? Lo tendrás.
    - ¿Quieres acción? La tendrás.
    - ¿Quieres miedo? Lo tendrás.
    - ¿Tienes todas las armas rebosantes de munición para poder defenderte? Tranquilo, la vas a pasar mal igual.
    - ¿Quieres un buen juego? Bueno, juega y juzga.

    Es increíble lo bien cohesionada que está la historia de este juego con el lore de todo Resident Evil, considerando que los acontecimientos están situados en una localización tan aislada. Ovaciones para el director, el escritor, y el equipo supervisor.

    Para exprimir la experiencia narrativa de este juego recomiendo haber jugado previamente Resident Evil Remake, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, y bueno, dado que es secuela directa, mínimo Resident Evil 7 (Ojalá todos los numéricos). Lo agradecerás cuando notes las referencias. Si no es así no importa, te mearás encima igual.

    Un juego brillante, de esos poquitos que casi no hay, y para destacar aún más: Es un AAA, de esos que tienden a flaquear debido a las malas decisiones corporativas que involucran el manejo de la trama en la fase de diseño. --> Es como si para Capcom Resident Evil 6 nunca hubiera ocurrido (Es mi favorito en jugabilidad, pero es indiscutible que se les fue la olla con la puesta en escena de la trama).

    Me crié jugando todos los Resident Evil, y si este no es el mejor de todos, es el segundo mejor.
    ¿Deberías jugar Resident Evil Village? Hermano/a, buenas noticias, porque hoy es un buen día para estar vivo.
    Un juego hecho con amor incondicional.

    My first resident evil game as well as my first review.
    There was a lot of hype surrounding this game and i decided that I might as well jump in and see if the series is worth my time. To answer this question; absolutely. The game looks fantastic and the sound design is top notch (but that is to be expected with most triple A game titles these days) and i didn't experience a single bug in    My first resident evil game as well as my first review.

The game looks fantastic and the sound design is top notch (but that is to be expected with most triple A game titles these days) and i didn't experience a single bug in the entire play through. This game does a great job at setting the stage and things can get really intense at times, especially in the early game. Late game you become kind of unstoppable so the fear kind of takes a sharp dive. Regardless, most enemies won't go down too easily and weapons have a decent feel and weight, as well as enemy reactions feeling nice and heavy for the most part. The characters are also all very intriguing and the story never really gets dull. I think that this is more of an action/adventure game than survival horror but it does and great job regardless. This game is also quite short; I explored extensively and it only took me around 10 hours to finish the game on normal difficulty. Overall this is a very good game and for me it was a nice introduction to the RE franchise. I will definitely be checking out RE7 due to my experience with this game. This earns an 8.3 for me because of the length of the game and the fact that it became a little too easy on normal difficulty. That being said, I still think it is well worth the purchase and is a great introduction to the series for myself.    … Expand

    I prefer the old style Resident Evil games, rather than the new one's.
    But, over this personal preference, the plot of the game is just too nonsensical in many points.
    The gameplay is good and the graphic is nice, so I guess it is enough for the horror genre to work here, at least on these aspects.

    1. “Short game or it’s 8 hours only.” This is straight up WRONG. The game can easily take more than 12 hours to finish. Some even beat it in more than that. The in-game timer literally lies to you, if you’ve played 12 hours, it will tell you that you spent 7 or 8 hours. RE8 has more e

    nice game for SURVIVAL-HORROR and RE games fan
    VILLAGE , CASTLE , SWAMP and other areas have a perfect and unique Atmosphere
    all boss fights are hard enough and cool too!
    but i think RE8 must be scarier than it was and have more jump scares
    but at last it was a wonderful RE for all RE fans in the world !

The level and map designs were amazing. Some parts were genuinely creepy and scary. Highly recommend if you were a fan of RE 4.

It delivers both on the horror and action fronts while offering the players a bunch of highly detailed and well thought out places to explore. Each of these places feels like a completely different horror game which is loosely tied up by the Village serving as its centre point and main area. If you are a fan of horror games or a fan of the RE franchise in general, then it is definitely the game for you to check out. It is one of the best horror experiences that you can play right now.

    The part is far from called Resident Evil, almost devoid of horror, and the game has become more action-packed and boss battles are less bad than I expect, so I see this part as less quality in all respects compared to Resident Evil 7

    Die Fortsetzung von RE 7 ist ein grandioses Best-Off des Survival Horrors, das viele Nischen der Fantasy- / Horrorwelt abdeckt. Außerdem sind sowohl Story als auch Charaktere (vor allem die jetzt schon ikonische Lady Dimitrescu) deutlich ausgereifter als beim Vorgänger. Das Spiel wird jedoch in der zweiten Hälfte etwas schwächer als zum nahezu perfekten Beginn (9/10).

    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

    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

    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.
