    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are some serious issues with this game. Not near as good as resident evil 7 and total different approach. What made resident evil 7 a great game is not in this game.

    The positives
    + good length
    + lots of weapons
    + ok graphics but nothing special. Think res 7 or res 3 remake and 2 remake is better.

    The negatives:
    - Awful story, one of the worst resident evil stories. Very cringy, did they really think it was a great story? - unbalanced pacing, very frustrating especially the frist big battle with the werwolfs. It gave me a bad vibe of the game. - awful bosses, really boring and spungy boss battles. Every boss was an enormus monster battle. Miss the days when you fight tyrant, or nemesis. - awfull villan and characters. Nothing special. - very generic level design and puzzles. The game feels mostly created for people with low IQ. - the game was probably designed by different Teams and merged together to one piece of **** Overall i think village is a forgetable game, nothing special and wants to cover all typess of gamers. After The credit rolled i asked myself what was i even playing? A shooter, horror, thriller, adventure? I replayed resident evil 3 remake after village and felt remake 3 was a better resident evil game. Think that says alot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Favorite things about the game are the achievable challenges. Generally, you can accomplish the vast majority of the challenges just with persistence. That means the unlockables are attainable. Only the light saber seems “impossible” with the SS mercenary on all levels requirement.

    And with all RE games, the infinite ammo feature makes for some fun replayability.

    Much of the scenery is well done, including interior settings, like Castle Dimetrescu. Although don’t ask why after decades they didn’t hire a remodeler to raise the doorway heights for Lady D. She had giant custom chairs and tub, but the doorways were all still normal size. (Btw one of the other funny things in that section was Ethan repairing his wrist and it “heals” his jacket too.)

    One thing lame about Heisenberg (besides his goofy personality, bad monologues, and out-of-place industrial persona) was that he was “sympathetic” to a degree, but the game doesn’t acknowledge it. Ethan berates him repeatedly. And Ethan refuses his “deal” yet we don’t know what were his details or how he was going to “use” Rose to defeat Miranda who clearly was both Ethan’s and Heisenberg’s enemy. Why not deal with him? Only after Ethan refuses Heisenberg does H eventually say he was going to steal Rose’s power, but was the the original plan? Would he have made a different deal? Ironically enough, Ethan does *use* Rose’s reassembly to get to Miranda so who knows. Ultimately, Ethan is a somewhat irrational and personality-less character.

    Some control features were poorly executed. Like the button prompts on loot or objects were very inconsistent. Loot dropped by enemies could be grabbed easily at a distance. Some objects, like the crank handle seemed to require an exact spot for the prompt to appear. I encountered an especially frustrating time with this in the wine pool room where you have to move the statues. In my first visit there I went up to a couple statues and there was no prompt, so I figured nothing to do there until later. You have to be in the right spot and elevation looking at the correct side of a given statue. So I got stuck running around the castle looking for next opening in the linear story. It’s a bad feature in a game when you correctly try the thing to advance the game and it doesn’t work.

    Another thing that’s just overdone as possible in games is the whole occult theme and the disturbing “religious” imagery. Granted it’s the villains who were perverting religious iconography, but games seem to use this device ad nauseam and it’s standard uncreativity anymore.

    Also, this game desperately needs the option to turn on a mini HUD map. The village and locations are deranged mazes, and until you learn them by repetition, you’re switching to the map over and over. The design overly favors a VR experience apparently. But the minimalist HUD display fad these days either needs to go or be offered as an *option*.

    Another annoying thing is the mini quicktime animations when you get grabbed by an enemy. Control completely leaves you for the duration of the grab animation. And the animation starts *before* they grab you. So if you spot the enemy in time and pull the trigger, it still might not fire if the game already transitioned into the grab animation. Basically your gun goes sterile for no reason *before* you get grabbed.

    The game is an atmospheric play through with some good puzzles, but needs work to merit a higher score.    … Expand

    Resident Evil Village is the best Resident Evil game. From the Atmosphere of the Village to the Level and Art design of the Castle. Everything feels masterfully thought out, and it is accompanied with a fantastic story at it's core, with Ethan Winters' story being wrapped up in a satisfying way. A must play for all Resident Evil fans.

    This game is thrilling from the start, although not as scary as it’s predecessor the atmosphere, environment and enemies make the game creepy and interesting.

The standard enemies are a huge improvement from 7’s molded as you actually gain from killing them as they drop loot necessary to make ammo, healing products and explosives. The villains are each interesting in their own right although I found moreau to be the comical intellectual stupid character who the group make fun of which is rather repetitive and who we literally got in 7 as Lucas. The negatives for me would be that the first area you go to other than the village it’s self is the gorgeous Castle that Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters inhabit I felt that the 3 other areas after this weren’t as good, 2 of them weren’t necessarily bad but no where near as interesting or creative as the first. I wasn’t a fan of Heisenbergs factory at all I found it very repetitive and mostly boring and more reminiscent of the boat section in 7 which I didn’t like either mostly for the same reasons. The boss battles where all intriguing but far too easy regardless of difficulty their patterns were very repetitive so therefore easy to figure out quickly. Overall I really enjoyed RE: Village enough to say it’s a good game but once again it has more than enough flaws to hurts its overall score.… Expand

I also liked that the game didn't take itself too seriously and there was some humor in the game as well as funny moments. The things that brought the score down for me was I felt there were not enough variety of areas to explore and not enough rewarding incentive to replay the game like finding harder secrets. I hope it sells really well, so RE9 can get a really great budget and the developers will know that they nailed the design in this game. Improvements I'd want for the next game: Take this core design and apply it to an even grander scale. A bigger game map with even more exploration. More variety of enemies. More variety of mini bosses. More main bosses. More puzzles. More keys. More hidden secrets. More weapons. More ways to overcome enemies, more plot lore, etc. Make it even more of an epic adventure like so many other triple A titles are nowadays.… Expand

    I still can't understand how the great series with zombies, viruses, mutants and experiments came to a pathetic parody of the X-Men with a touch of paranormal actions. Now, instead of terrible mutants, we have a three-meter sexy Wolverine, Magneto from Aliexpress, a Doll and some whiner. Yes, near the end of the story will be explained what is happening, but it is so stupid and funny, asI still can't understand how the great series with zombies, viruses, mutants and experiments came to a pathetic parody of the X-Men with a touch of paranormal actions.

Yes, near the end of the story will be explained what is happening, but it is so stupid and funny, as if the script was written by a first-year student. He will explain it in one banal twist.

    What a banal drama in the game. The writers wanted to show the torment of the hero and his suffering, but it looks terribly strained and I had no reason to somehow believe in what is happening and sympathize with Ethan.

    I highly recommend playing on the easy difficulty level. Unlike part 2-3, when you can shoot a zombie through the knee and pass it, in Re: Village you have to kill monsters, because they drop money and treasures needed to improve weapons. The main problem is that the enemies like a sponge absorb ammo.

I appreciate everything you done and that you tried something different which makes this unique from all the previous games, the amount of detail, level and character design is amazing and the graphics out of this world with the RE engine, this is now one of my favourites in the whole series, also the length of the game wow and some complain its too short, come on it can be done in 16 hrs the longest, you must be playing on easy mode and not taking it all in. i had so many different vibes that were taking me back to the original games especially 4, the atmosphere was heavy and left me wanting more and it sure gave me more, I love the action with the spookiness to it, and the lords i loved the personality brought into them. Some people will complain just because its not zombies? im fed up of zombies and the same old tyrants to be honest, get over it if you want zombies go back and play the originals this game has more to give its more then zombies they are like zombie werewolves even better!, This game feels more realistic and haunting i feel like im in the game. I think some people didnt like that factory at the end but i loved it, its just what i wanted from a game like this, it reminded me of the island from RE4 and it was so intense with those Drill guys it scared me, time to do the harder modes! RE2 and RE3 you know what to expect and feel but this was on another level even on the slow moments it paid up for it with something big afterwards with things i couldn't imagine, of course it has its down moments too but i don't really care about that as i can brush it off this is one of the best games ive played better then all the other RE games i think. Again an amazing game just do what you want Capcom, i smiled to this game and said to myself, wow this is truly a masterpiece i couldn't believe the work put into this game so thank you, This is a fresh, unique, game thanks for trying something new and has so much more replay ability and the mercenaries are back looking forward to more games.… Expand

Just spin the camera around and youl'll see what I mean. This is a shame but I can't give the game an higher score as I'm not sure if I can keep playing It in these conditions.

    Aside the poor optimization of the game, so far I'm also not impressed with the villains of this game. Plain day light werewolves, that as my wife puts it, look like guys out of magic mike with make up on. The whole thing feels like the werewolves from twilight have been ported into this game. There's also the bad/buggy animation on them, sliding all over the place, poor enemy ai rotation, and the list goes on.

    This is a shame. I spend 200 dollars on the collector edition for this. Im really hope capcom can patch this thing (obviously the performance, as I'm sure they wont spend resources changing the visuals/design of the game) .because as it is its not an enjoyable experience.    … Expand

    Romania has still somehow been language-washed to whatever locale you are in/set-up which I dislike overall regardless of game.

    The overarching plot still has massive holes like half of the lycanthrope population does after being shotgunned to death.

    While it didn’t take resident evil 7s place as my favorite resident evil game, it came pretty close.
    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..

    Village is going to feel very familiar to you if you have played Biohazard (RE7), for better or worse. For me, this was a somewhat formulaic RE outing that didn't push any boundaries out of the comfort zone RE7 found. I'll explain below.

For me, this was a somewhat formulaic RE outing that didn't push any boundaries out of the comfort zone RE7 found. I'll explain below.

    The graphics are a strong selling point of the game. Almost everything looks amazing and despite the premise of a tiny village, RE8 is able to display a nice diversity of landscapes and textures. The early-game is also reminiscent of RE4 as well as RE7 with the eerily quiet dwellings amid a rural backdrop.

    The downside of the graphics is that Capcom have taken the horror theme a bit too literally and so many buildings and locations are incredibly dark. When used tentatively this is great, however in Village I ended up increasing the brightness to unnaturally high levels just to make the game more playable when trying to locate items and doorways in the dark. In addition to this, RE8 is recycling familiar themes of underground labs, castles and marshy terrain, not too dissimilar from RE4 and RE8.

    The gameplay of RE8 is a mixed bag. I played on Casual difficulty as I expected any higher would just be a case of numbers, with enemies doing more damage. Again my issue with Village is the formulaic recycling of mechanics, especially the locked doors and tedious, time-consuming puzzles. There is far too much backtracking with various keys and locks. In the early game especially I was constantly being told doors were locked or opened on the the other side. I understand this is a staple of RE but I find it very outdated and I wonder if I would have enjoyed the game more if I wasn't delayed by these design choices, because there are some fantastic moments in the game which I won't spoil here, but I also wonder if there is a need for punctuation between the climaxes and I hope there is a better alternative to inane puzzles.

    I must also applaud the game for being accessible and catering, in that there are obviously various difficulties but also concept such as aim assist. Dark Souls fans will cringe at this but I believe allowing people to play games in a manner that befits their abilities results in happier gamers and happier customers.

    Despite the aforementioned puzzles, I found the game to be well-paced overall. I was alarmed when I was told in advance there would be four major bosses to defeat before the final boss, but it was good to see these were not as tedious and cumbersome as it sounded. However I was also glad to see it end when I was nearly 8 hours into it. Resident Evil games have never been very long affairs and are typically designed with multiple play-throughs in mind. That's not my cup of tea, but there is ample content to justify replayability.

    The story of Village isn't overly complex and that's a good thing. It follows on from RE7 with Ethan Winters being the primary protagonist. I won't spoil it but there are a good amount of twists and upheavals that made me happy to sit through the cut-scenes. There some nice nods to earlier games and even some fourth-wall breaking humour which I appreciated. The story is a good element in Village as it moves forward whilst acknowledging the past and doesn't become stale.

    Overall, Village does its best to keep the RE franchise fresh and alive, however some mechanics such as the puzzles and backtracking are things I would like to see Capcom re-invent or replace. Whilst Village is a fairly good game, it looks, plays and feels too much like RE7 for my liking. There will most certainly be a RE9 and I look forward to seeing if Capcom can leave their current comfort zone and give us something different.    … Expand

    The Good Parties
    This game has advanced the Resident Evil series about the universe and story, as Capcom says.
    The story
    I don't know how to tell the game without telling the scenes from the game in general, but in Re7 they connected the story very well, but in this game they connected it 10 times better than the level of that game for a long time.
    it was the best game I have experienced in general, I had a lot of hesitation about the progress of the story, no thicc vampire sister werewolves with advertisements. finished game definitely play this game.
    ⭕Play
    The gameplay is almost perfect in every aspect, the feeling of the hit, the variety of weapons, the variety of bosses and the high number of them, I have cut more than 20 bosses that do not affect the big and small story in general in the game and this gives the right to have that much weapon variety.
    ⭕Graphics and Performance
    I played the game on PlayStation 4 and I passed the fps drop in performance, I even experienced an increase in the 45 fps constant running game went up to 50 fps and this shows that it is an extremely good optimization As someone who likes the story of cyberpunk 2077, the optimization disaster came like a drug because it is a game.

    Also they are planning to include another multiplayer VS called RE Verse, another battle royale game that capcom want absolutely push desperately, maybe it was fun if they included more variated modes (like a co-op mode, etc...)

    Probably there still people that giving an easy 10/10 because they are impressed from the graphics and they are more fans of RE4 and RE7, but clearly capcom doesnt care anymore about his fanbase since they spent more budget on this game than "Resident Evil 3 Remake" that was supposed to be exactly like RE Village...    … Expand

It has better weapons and much more to unlock after you complete the game which makes replay ability a big factor. It has much better combat as there is a much larger variety of enemies instead of just facing off against a molded monster after another molded monster. The story is intriguing, but at points cheesy but it all comes into play at the end for what I thought was a story that truly completed what RE7’s story set out to do. The 4 lords of the village offer different horrors and areas as every area is never the same as before. You’ll be in castle Dimitrescu hiding from the horrors that await there, to finding a brand new atmosphere and experience in house Beneviento. The village itself also plays a huge role in this game as it becomes a side character itself. Everytime you come back, there will be puzzles you can now solve, to doors that you can now open and enemies now lurking around in corners that you were sure you already searched through. It is always a delight to go through the village and take a little break from the intense 8 - 12 hour story. Some may complain that the game was too short but my first play through took me about 13 hours and I wasn’t even 100% finished searching everything. The only reason I’m giving this game a 9 is because of the scare factor. In Resident Evil 7 there were moments where I was out of ammo and felt hopeless, defenceless and scared hiding in the dark shadows of the Baker home. However in Resident Evil Village there were only a few little jumpscares that did get me, but I didn’t feel the experience I had when I was trying to get away from the enemies in RE7. I always felt like I had way more then enough ammo and I actually felt like doom guy looking for the enemy’s to kill them to acquire some currency for the duke, or crafting materials. There was one part in this game though that did remind me of the horror I felt from playing the Silent Hills P.T demo all those years ago but it was just in that one moment. If it had Resident Evil 7’s horror then this game would for sure be a 10. This game is still a joy to play and I recommend anyone new to horror or a returning player coming back from RE7 to give this game a try.… Expand

    This game is pure horror action. Any fan of the series should play this game. The heights of tension rival Resident evil 7 and action rival that of Resident Evil 4. The gameplay is solid. The visuals are superb. The pace of this game is like a roller coaster, it has ups and downs but the speed remains the same.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don’t wanna drag this out too much with explanation’s but I’ll just narrow it down with my pro’s & cons..

    Pro’s: Beautiful visuals / Environment & Sound design / Atmosphere effects etc. Awesome areas to explore with great level designs

    Great enemy & Boss variety and rewards from them.

    Awesome having the merchant to purchase new weapons / equipment and further upgrade upon them with attachments etc.

    Decent lengthy campaign - not far too long and not too damn short.

    Some good throwbacks to the original foundation, tying into the overall Resident Evil lore / Story.

    Some good unlockables for completing the game, to make for good replay value on harder difficulties with New Game Plus. Also good old Mercenaries makes it’s long awaited return as the extra bonus side game.



    Cons: Couple of the boss fights were fairly average and nothing special ( Heisenberg & Donna could have been better ) but a few were also great I thought, so not too bad I guess but yeah they could have made them better overall I think personally. Not too bad overall though.

    Still don’t get to see Ethan Winters goddamn face! He talks a lot more in this but still rather bland in character compared to our Classic - Leon, Claire, Chris & Jill characters... but once you finish this game you’ll see why they didn’t bother with Ethan so much.


    Other than that it’s a really great instalment in the series and I don’t have much else to pick at in terms of faults. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and am now going through on the hardest difficulty to unlock more gear etc.

    Definitely worth picking up! 9/10 or 4.5/5 stars from me.    … Expand

    Todo lo que tiene Re7, Re Village lo mejora y lo lleva a otro nivel.
    Ambientación de lo mejor que eh visto en muchos años, tanto el sonido ambiente como el diseño y la paleta de colores.... simplemente fascinante.

    A todo esto GRACIAS CAPCOM
    THANK YOU CAPCOM^^

    Capcom may haven't tried something shockingly new in Resident Evil Village but by combining the best elements of the previous games of the franchise(both action and horror elements) with a beautiful story(in comparison with other resident evil games),they delivered a brilliant installment to the series.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. En realidad es un 9.5. No se lo pongo porque literalmente no puedo. Es excelente en todo. Solo unas cuantas pegas. 1) Los puzles son muy sencillos, se hacen casi por inercia, 2) No puedes personalizar el mapeado del control (para correr debes oprimir L3 y no puedes cambiar solo eso), si cambias de dirección con L ya no corres y debes volver a pulsar L3 y eso es muy incomodo cuando estas corriendo en combate con algunos jefes.… Expand

    Game took me 25 hours and i still missed 2 major treasures. GOTY. Amazing graphics, 60 fps, good exploration, great monsters. Seriously it's the closest thing to a perfect game since Super Mario RPG or Half Life. It's on my top 3 with those

    El juego es buenísimo, mejora muchos aspectos respecto a su anterior secuela. Si es cierto que no da mucho terror, pero el progreso que le hicieron en los otros apartados hace olvidar ese pequeño asunto, su dirección artística y su sistema de sonido son espectaculares, sin duda uno de los mejores resident evil para celebrar su aniversario numero 25, capcom lo hizo de nuevo, felicidades.

    On PS4 Pro with framerate prioritized you’ll get an almost identical experience like on current consoles or PC – an impressive port from Capcom.

    Resident Evil Village is a far cry from its more grounded and horror-focused predecessor, but in the end, it’s perhaps just as lovable. At times it feels like a greatest hits collection of some of the best elements of previous Resident Evil games, and while that leads to it not being wholly coherent, it’s not to its detriment. It may not be perfect in terms of combat mechanics and storytelling, but Resident Evil Village keeps you on your toes, with you never truly knowing what’s waiting for you around the next corner. And that’s why when playing it, the hours simply fly by. Will the series ever become stale? Not while it’s being as inventive as this, that’s for sure.

    In the end, Resident Evil Village is not a perfect experience but it is still an awesome one and easily the best of the recent games in the series. It's scary, suspenseful, grounded in relatable human drama, and an overall blast to play; I highly recommend giving it a shot.
