    With ultra-realistic graphics, the game feels amazing and achieves its purpose perfectly.

    Must play, the experience is incredible, with everything from survival horror, mixed great with action game elements, thus immersing you perfectly in the adventure presented.

    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.

    As my first Resident Evil game, Village was... a complicated experience.
    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

    Cons:
    - Very weak narrative
    - Inconsistent pacing and boring puzzles
    - Disappointing bosses
    - Survival horror elements are lacking
    - Underwhelming action elements

    Narrative: 2/10
    Gameplay: 7/10
    Content: ?/10
    Characters: 5/10
    Graphics/Audio: 9/10

    Final Rating: 6/10
    - Decent -
    Resident Evil Village is a hot mess; a mishmash of different half-baked ideas, resulting in a game that doesn't know what it wants to be, but it's enjoyable nonetheless.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes but maybe at low price.    … Expand

    The part is far from called Resident Evil, almost devoid of horror, and the game has become more action-packed and boss battles are less bad than I expect, so I see this part as less quality in all respects compared to Resident Evil 7

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A história é ambientada em uma cidade do leste europeu, contando a saga de Ethan Winters, depois do ocorrido na residência dos Bakers. Passado alguns anos após o incidente, Ethan está com Mia e sua filha Rose, tentando seguir a vida e superar os traumas do passado. No começo do jogo, Chris Redfield invade sua casa matando Mia e levando Rose e Ethan. Após um incidente no transporte dos dois, Ethan acorda e não sabe onde está sua filha. Daí começa sua jornada em um vilarejo hostil, com diversas criaturas folclóricas como lobisomens, vampiros e bruxas... No decorrer da história, fica claro que tais criaturas eram seres humanos que foram expostos ao Cadou, parasita geneticamente modificado que foi exposto ao Mofo. A vila possui uma espécie de anciã/profetisa, conhecida como Mãe Miranda e esta possui quatro Lordes, Alcina Dimitrescu, Donna Benneviento, Salvatore Moreau e Karl Heisenberg. O jogo tem ambientes abertos e fechados, trazendo um realismo casuístico à experiência, já que Ethan já tem as experiências passadas e não é tão indefeso como no jogo anterior. No modo padrão, não é um jogo difícil, então recomendo o modo Intenso para aqueles que já estão habituados com a saga. Nesse modo, a experiência se torna bastante desafiadora. Os gráficos estão excelentes, a jogabilidade é incrível e possui uma boa diversidade de armas, o que pode tornar a gameplay interessante. Para os amantes de Resident Evil 4, o Village possui muitas referências e o intuito da Capcom era justamente trazer a nostalgia desse clássico e preparar o público para o Remake que será lançado em 2023. Não acho que o jogo possui muita ação, pois em diversos momentos há partes de sobrevivência e terror, principalmente na casa Benneviento, que por sinal é o ponto mais alto do jogo. Tem uma quantidade boa de puzzles e de colecionáveis. Destaque para a atuação da atriz que deu vida para a personagem Alcina Dimitrescu, que a tornou um ícone da série. Vale muito a pena jogar Resident Evil Village, recomendo!… Expand

    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.

    The bad:

    The entire factory section is just back-track after back-track after back-track, so it's confusing on where to go next.

    The core gameplay gets repetitive after a little bit, so it's better to just ignore enemies.

    And finally... The final boss is too easy.

    There are just a few things keeping me from giving this an 8, but I think a 7 is reasonable.    … Expand

    Trama sufficiente, buona giocabilità.
    Molto bella la prima parte nel castello e quella nella casa delle bambole.
    Per il resto, purtroppo... Non fa paura (tranne la sezione nella casa delle bambole).
    Troppi nemici, troppe munizioni.
    Un buon action shooting, ma non un episodio spaventoso della saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A fantastic direct sequel to a fantastic game! RE7 was the first Resident Evil game I played, and the game that got me into the series. So, I was naturally incredibly excited about this game. I loved the look, the monsters, the bits of lore we were given, and how tense the trailers made the game appear.

    I was not disappointed, if anything, my expectations were greatly exceeded. This game's graphics can be downright gorgeous and fascinating, and also gory and gritty. The story, while it may have its issues, still keeps me hooked and emotional. Yes, the father saving his daughter trope is nothing new, but something about this game's overall atmosphere helps make it feel more intense this time around. Next, the horror in this game is well-done. Sure, it's not as much of a slow-burn as RE7 but I'm honestly okay with that. I like the slow horror of RE7 but I also like the Psychological Thriller feel that this game has. The Beneviento segment in particular is one of the scariest in gaming and has stuck with me almost a full year after I played it. This game isn't without its faults, my biggest critique is the pacing of some of the areas. While I love all the areas for different reasons, some are very long such as Dimitrescu's castle, and others are very short like Moreau's area. This is my biggest critique of the game and is the only thing that drags the game down some.

    Overall, I think this is a fantastic horror game and a great sequel to RE7. It isn't without its faults, but it has some very high highs, like the amazing graphics, intriguing (albeit slightly cliche) story, great horror, amazing enemy designs, and areas that are beautiful and gritty but vary too much lengthwise. I'm excited for this game's future DLC and the future Resident Evil games as a whole.    … Expand

    Resident Evil Village is a frustratingly short, visually impressive (truly beautiful, actually) narrative-driven sequel to the notably frightening Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. While the game has a really brilliant plot plentifully stuffed with amazing, unpredictable twists and gorgeous story, it has almost nothing in common with its claimed survival horror genre. While the previous entryResident Evil Village is a frustratingly short, visually impressive (truly beautiful, actually) narrative-driven sequel to the notably frightening Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. While the game has a really brilliant plot plentifully stuffed with amazing, unpredictable twists and gorgeous story, it has almost nothing in common with its claimed survival horror genre. While the previous entry was so scary some players might haven’t finished it, Village is more of just a good action-adventure game successfully combining puzzles and shooter elements. The only horror episode is only 20–25 minutes long, though yes, it’s actually terrifying. However, albeit the game lacks direct horror encounters, the atmosphere is made almost perfectly, successfully reflecting the nature of the place you have to make a deep dive into, granting the game with a special, a bit sinister vibe. Nevertheless, the Village is also the game’s disadvantage, as it utilizes open-world-style mechanics without being immersive enough. There are no really interesting side activities in the Village, so use of free-roam is quite questionable. The other questionable move is the decision to restrict the player’s inventory capacity, generally used in full-scale RPGs. The further the game progresses the more this mechanic irritates, without actually making it harder, rather just more boring. Given Village significant reliance on shooter elements, it’s a major, yet the only real disadvantage of the gameplay. Besides the gameplay, the game has an incredible soundtrack, perhaps one of the best of the year in the entire industry, which fits its atmosphere perfectly. Village is surprisingly stunning visually on PS4 Slim hardware and runs very smoothly throughout the entire playthrough, continuously maintaining comfortable framerate.… Expand

    The direction with Village is clearly different compared to its predecessor Biohazard, there is more focus on action as the game gives us more ammo drops and a guard mechanic to help with the combat, but this isn't to say that there aren't scary sequences in the 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.

    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.
