    Capcom is finally going back to their Resident Evil 4 roots aka best era of Resident Evil. Can't praise them enough, so i'm just gonna say thank you! This really means a lot to me, because Resident Evil 4 is my all time favorite game and to be able to experience something similar again, is just amazing. Thank you Capcom!

    At this point i seriously fail to understand why some people still try to hate on it. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not saying you can't say that you hate certain game, of course you can. But what's the point honestly? It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years. RE Village is most obviousAt this point i seriously fail to understand why some people still try to hate on it. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not saying you can't say that you hate certain game, of course you can. But what's the point honestly? It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years. RE Village is most obvious inspiration from RE4 and everyone already knows that RE4 Remake will be next RE game. That's what Resident Evil is and will be until at least 2023. Deal with it. That's what this series is and most people seem to absolutely love it. It's crazy how good reviews it gets on steam. But to be completely fair, if you don't like Resident Evil 4, i don't like you anyway. 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. I would also recommend playing Resident Evil 4 after RE Village, it's truly absolute masterpiece and best game in whole RE series.… Expand

    Muy buen juego, me tiene atrapado, las mecánicas son buenas y tiene muchas similitudes a RE4...
    El terror es bueno y los jefes también....

    Desde mi punto de vista como un fan más de la saga résident evil, este juego me parece un regalo por parte de Capcom, nos brinda una narrativa que se ve que está trabajada, nos dan un escenario que se nota vivo, nos da un mapa más grande y explorable... Si que es verdad que tiene al final un poco de acción pero se combina perfectamente. En general me parece un gran juego.

    Awesome game, the psychological horror that we encountered in biohazard continues here, complemented by insane graphics and a beautiful world. A treat to the eyes, especially with a high powered graphics card and ray-tracing turned on. More combat than in biohazard but warranted as the population of the village is less than welcoming.

    The Performance on the PS4 is Good. The Story is not the best Resident Evil Story but it is Good Trash Entertainment. The Game play is Solid. The Weapon Handling feels good, the Movement too.
    It is not so good like the Resident Evil 2 Remake but it is a Good Resident Evil Game.

    As a huge fan of resident evil, this game made me feel as in the childhood while playing re 4, my favourite chapter. Game is divided to a different locations and all of them feel extremely atmospheric. Strongly recommend.

    RE7 was a great game. Village took that formula and added some variations that made it even better in my opinion. The main concept stayed the same but they actually mixed in some episodes to make the game constantly change its pacing. There’s a horror episode (a really good one and pretty scary), sometimes throws you into a hurricane action like RE6 (closer to the ending). Some didn’t likeRE7 was a great game.

    Up till now I thought 2019’s RE3 was the worst in franchise I’d played. Little did I know Resident Evil Village is on its way to prove me wrong.

    Complete disaster of a game and one big mess of bad choices. The overall setting is horrible, maps are badly designed, and although I admit that separately their textures seem polished, the problem is that they don’t add up together.

    Complete disaster of a game and one big mess of bad choices. The overall setting is horrible, maps are badly designed, and although I admit that separately their textures seem polished, the problem is that they don’t add up together. It’s like they never had a bird’s-eye view of the entire project to see those issues resulting in such mess.

    Since the game doesn’t have a single distinct villain, they tried to compensate the lack of villain quality with quantity, offering instead a bunch of potential bosses that look and sound extremely contrived and monotonous in their lines and unrealistic in all aspects. The protagonist too seems underdeveloped, and, although we had seen Ethan before in absolutely fantastic RE 7, after playing the Village for over 3 hours, I still couldn’t project myself in his shoes and care, no matter how hard I tried. The writing is very bad and lacks any hook. In RE 7 even the ordinary minions were so specifically designed, fighting them was suspenseful fun, and now we came all this way to the Village just to shoot a bunch of classic zombie-resembling freaks? Wake up, Capcom! We’ve grown bored of it, where is your imagination? Again, I want to highlight that this game lacks any visual and narrative originality.

    You will be surprised how inferior it is to its predecessor, and on top of everything they didn’t add a VR mode either. Now I can see why the developers after all made the game PS4-compatible. Had the Village been released for next-gen consoles only, it could’ve end up being a catastrophic failure.

    In conclusion, I bought this at 40-something-percent discount and still want my money back. I’d feel disappointed even if it came 100% free. This is definitely not what a good game looks like.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 8 feels like a good blend of tension and action.

    A nice blend of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4. The game is less scary than its predecessor and more action-packed. Surprisingly, it features an expansive map that is littered with side-missions, hidden pathways and loot. At certain times, I was reminded of Far Cry 3 and Bioshock Infinite.

    Were it not for the **** that is the Mercenaries mode this game would've been an 8/10 .
    In my opinion the story is one of if not the best in any RE game to date unfortunately a cheap and half assed Mercenaries mode tainted my experience with the game... what a shame.

    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.
