    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.

    Resident Evil Village is a modern, next generation Resident Evil.

I also love how the graphics have a heft to them in the game. It makes the game feel more grounded in reality. 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

    Magnificent!!! Hands down one of the best Resident Evil games in years! it's got everything from the survival horror genre, mixed well with action & adventure elements. Fun bosses, awesome story with a mind-blowing twist and it's decently long for a RE game. Oh and it looks incredible! This is a 10/10 MUST BUY game, it's just a great experience and value! Well done to the developers. :)

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

    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. And I played extremely comfortably. The graphics push the boundaries compared to the old generation.    … Expand

Village takes what was great about RE7 and implements all it back into this game, but offers more with it. 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 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

Would recommend Village to anyone (even people who are new to RE series) who wants to have fun, lots of boss battles, great graphics and weapon upgrades. People who say it doesn't have horror at all are simply lying. Or maybe their definition of horror is just hiding in the corner. That's something i call pathetic, not horror, but to each their own.

    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.
