    Excellent game, few daft bits too the story which hold it back from being a 10 for me personally, but altogether a really enjoyable and addictive for me.
    A little short for me aswell, wish it was more like the length of TLOU2 but I was really looking forward too this as have been playing since the original on ps1. Solid entry!

    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. The campaign can last past 12 hours. It is very good, if not quite up to the greatness of RE 7.A nice blend of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 4.

PS4 owners should be pleased with the game's performance. Graphics and framerate hold up very well. In terms of story, I found it to be good, if not great. Overall, this is another solid entry in the series. I would rate it with a 9 out of 10.… Expand

    After the survival horror of RE7 this one brings a change of pace in terms of action while keeping the atmosphere tense

    This was the best resident evil game I've played since resident evil 4. It takes a lot of what I thoroughly enjoyed from 4 and from 7 and makes it a unique experience. It definitely has its flaws here and there, but it makes in comparison to everything that the game does right. I highly recommend this to anyone with even the slightest interest in the series.

    Aside from very few fps drops on PS4 SLIM, this game rocks! It's action packed, with horror themed locations, and various inspirations on classic horror titles. Mercenaries mode it's really good and entertaining! Worth a full price, worth various playthroughs.

    Finally Capcom's managed to create a solid sequel which combines all the successfull formulas seen in the past, it maintains the spirit of a classic RE game plus many well contextualized add ons that enrich the gameplay, this is a true survival horror based on exploration and puzzle solving, action segments are just a few and pretty brief so old school fans like myself wil enjoy it.

    This game is a great sequel to Resident Evil 7, which was a game that I personally loved.

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

    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.

    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.

    I picked up this game because my girlfriend wanted to see Lady "Step-On-Me-Mommy" Dimetrescu in action, and even when we blasted through her area, we both stayed incredibly engaged. It has led me to get RE2, RE3, RE4 and RE7. Those are the best ones, right?

    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.
