    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

    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 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 recommend buying the game at a discount of 60-70%    … Expand

    There was one instance where a crypt was not lit correctly, and glowed unnaturally, but I guess it's forgivable. (It certainly won't be changed because people never complain about things like that)

    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.

    The only thing I have left to say is that if you enjoyed Resident Evil 4 & Resident Evil VII BIOHAZARD then you will probably like this. Unfortunately, I do not.    … Expand

    Village looks an mixed RE4 and RE7, for who like this genre its a good game.

    But for who love the classic Resident Evil, still a game that was made for the new audience instead for the old fans, modernized especially with that first person camera view, there a quite "balance" of course, but especially for who still cant forget how capcom treated his fanbase with "Resident Evil 3 Remake" last year, this game looks an spite against the fanbase, because everything that you wanted in RE3R are included in this game, including the minigame: "Mercenaries" mode (the fanbase pleaded capcom to release the Mercenaries mode for RE3R, but unfortunately they released for RE Village, the most useless mode in this game since the fun content of this minigame was that you are able to play different characters, but in a first person game doesnt have a lot of sense...)
    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

    Resident Evil Village is a great 4 hours... unfortunately, Resident Evil Village is 8 hours long, not 4.

    I loved the first half of this game, it's scary, tense and invokes RE4 with its setting amazingly, making your way through the titular village is a bone chilling experience because you never know what kind of horrific beastman will jump out at you next, and the next two areas, being Castle Dimitrescu and House Beneviento, are phenomenal, especially the latter, with that freakish baby thing, ugh I love it. However once you finish that first half, it slowly starts degrading in quality, The Swamp and The Factory range from boring to awful, and the latter half of The Factory really just wears me out, the entire area was frustrating and lasted far too long in my opinion, with a discount Chainsaw Guy that I didn't find half as scary or intimidating as the Chainsaw Guy, it also has discount Regenerator because every bloody Resident Evil game needs one apparently. As for The Swamp... well it's a swamp level, it sucks, they all do, screw Swamp levels.

    Where the game shines is The Four Lords, Heisenberg was my favourite, I found his voice acting so fun, his actor delivers every line with enthusiasm just too good for this game, I still find myself quoting him almost daily. Lady D was also cool in a Mr. X kind of way, she's not quite as imposing as Mr. X, but she certainly outshines Nemesis from the RE3make. Unfortunately Donna Beneviento isn't given any lines or anything to do really, but her doll thing Angie is at least interesting, if you like Chucky, you'll like her, then there's Moreau... anyway.

    Gameplay is what you'd expect after RE7, nothing new, except it feels generally better. Visually the game looks great, I played on a ps4 pro with Performance mode on, but even then the game was still beautiful looking, in a gory kind of way.

    I know it's been said a million times, but what the hell is with Chris? OK, I get it, he didn't want Ethan involved, I get it, but why not tell him what's going on at the swamp? he's already involved at that point, and he's not likely to leave now, how would he leave anyway? with the car he doesn't have? It makes no sense for Chris not to tell him after he's already gotten involved. On top of that, Chris is such an uncharacteristic jerk in this game, I get wanting to hide things from Ethan, but do you have to be such a douche about it? Even Chris' new team calls him out, Chris acts like Fake Ada does in RE6, only this is the real Chris, and it's really odd.

    My real issue with the game is the switch to action halfway through, this combined with the RE4make has me worried, I'm worried Capcom will slip back into "horror bad action good" when RE8 does horror, it's amazing, but when it does action, it's fine, good sometimes, but not what I want out of Resident Evil. With an RE4 remake and RE9 looking like it'll focus on Chris, I feel like we're going into another dark age with this series, I hope I'm wrong but Capcom are no strangers to letting me down.    … Expand

    First of all, I didn't expect anything interesting from the story, and I actually didn't really get anything interesting from it; the writing is completely nonsensical and amateurish, and the plot is padded out for no reason, which is surprising, considering that the game is short. The worst part of the story, however, is how it actually takes itself seriously, even though it's hilariously badly written.
    The gameplay is good though, it feels slightly clunky but it's fun and it works well.
    The characters are so-so; some characters are rather unlikable and uninteresting, while others are intriguing and cool.
    The visuals and the audio design are amazing, and the atmosphere is wonderful.
    Lastly, Resident Evil Village's gothic horror setting is undoubtedly the best part of the game; it's haunting and terrifying but also beautiful.
    Unfortunately for Resident Evil Village though, the game has many flaws.
    In spite of the short length, the puzzles are dull and they slow down the game's pacing significantly.
    Also, the story feels rushed at times and the boss fights are pretty easy; in fact, the whole game is unexpectedly easy and not creepy. The game tries to blend survival horror and action but it ultimately falls short at both areas because the survival horror elements are almost absent and the action is uninspiring.

    Pros:
    + Fun gameplay
    + Memorable antagonists
    + Gorgeous visuals
    + Fantastic atmosphere
    + Superb setting

I’m old enough to know about the former "Biohazard" first person shooting games and the not so bad "Umbrella Chronicles", which gave us another side of the story at Spencer's Mansion. Knowing all this I must say that having all the resources and technology from these days, why don’t give the player the choice to change their view? Why a first person camera?.

    Ethan Winters is a faceless character that never makes you get into his story, looking for his disappeared girlfriend Mia. (RE7). The feel of that game isn’t the essence of Resident Evil, but that is another tale.

    RE8 VILLAGE plot is in the air, playing with european myths and literature, vampires, werewolves, monsters from the lake, etc... and Chriss Redfield attached to the story in desperate intent to turn this into Resident Evil, sorry but I don’t bite it.

    The main facts and several parts of the story seem to be inspired by SILENT HILL, a father who is looking for his daughter in the middle of a strange place surrounded by demon-like creatures, but in this case all without salt and pepper. Maybe you can't find the resemblance with the old KONAMI title, but the truth is that this plot is weak, and certainly isn’t polish.

    The good stuff, all the artwork is fantastic, even addictive, like Lady Dimitrescu and her castle. The game is fun but is it really a Resident Evil game? .

    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.
