    This game has the best audio design from a Resident Evil game by far. It's too bad that the gun sounds are awful. Some of the levels in this game were well thought out and were fun. The graphics are neat and the environments are nicely designed. The enemy variety and bosses is an improvement from the previous game. The physics are complete trash. The shooting mechanics are terrible.

    The AI is incredibly stupid in this game. When I was on the ladder, the monsters kept attacking the air and they couldn't even attack me. The story is complete garbage. The dialogue in this game is cringeworthy with horrendous voice acting. This game lacks the attention to detail you would expect in a AAA game. There are too many puzzles in this game. The puzzles are terrible and kill the pacing. The developers added so many puzzles in a pathetic attempt at making this game long. The game manages to still be too short.

    The multiplayer is not available yet. The developers delayed it til summer. I'm getting sick of this annoying trend of developers delaying the multiplayer and waiting months to finally get it. I'm at least glad these developers are listening to my complaints and adding modes like Mercenaries. It's too bad that the mode is boring, slow paced and lazily designed. You can't even play with your friends in this mode. I recommend you wait until this game is like $20 and has multiplayer before picking it.    … Expand

The village, which is introduced in this long-awaited title, located in Romania - with its utterly incredible atmosphere and vibe; Terrifying, yet, of course, beautiful and gorgeous setting - sets up a perfect opportunity to create, what could have been, an absolutely unforgettable grounded, survival horror experience and introduce an interesting and believable story, along with interesting villains and characters. However, now judging how this game was designed and made in mind, Resident Evil Village was destined to miserably collapse and fail in those specific departments from the very start, while shining in very few.
    There are, indeed, some slow paced, terror-inducing, atmospheric exploration sections that shine the best in Resident Evil Village, and roaming around in the village - which acts as a central hub - searching, gathering resources and collecting items can be, of course, a lot of fun. However, the game is more action-oriented than it suits Resident Evil, while - without spoiling anything - indescribably cheesy, corny, unsuitable, flat out bad and ridiculously over the top story and plot-twists; Ridiculously over the top action gameplay moments, even for a mistake that is an action oriented Resident Evil (which are a lot, with last sections being full-blown Call of Duty and Metal Gear-like moments and experiences) and cutscenes; Also, very unrealistic, unbelievable, cheesy and extremely cartoony villains, characters and moments, utterly dismantled the overall experience of Resident Evil Village for me. If you want to experience the peak of what Resident Evil is, as a slow paced, grounded survival horror experience, where Resident Evil shines and works the best, and what Resident Evil should be, I would recommend Resident Evil 1 Remake. You might say: "Wait, but there are some over the top enemies and moments even in that game, too!" Well, that is true and not true at the same time. There are concrete, acceptable and established points in every franchises' universe, you can and absolutely should develop and expand on them, however, if you entirely cross over those said points and boundaries, you leave the zone of "unbelievable," if we can even call it that, of course (zombie invasions, tyrants, mutants - but still just enough to be believable and to be enjoyed - no flying dragons, no "possessed" dolls, no destructive robots, etc. And, thankfully, more realistic, scientific and materialistic, grounded approach to the story and core gameplay) and enter the zone of, what I would call, "just flat out crazy and ridiculous" (which Resident Evil has become majorly since Resident Evil 4, though I would say Code Veronica started it all).
    Resident Evil Village had moments and sections where I enjoyed it and where it was almost correctly done, however, summing up everything I mentioned above, overall, I did not like the game and, sadly, I do not even want to call this Resident Evil. Personal verdict: Not the worst thing in the whole entire observable universe, but not a good game by any stretch of the imagination. Do not buy.    … Expand

    I really didn’t like the idea of that story. This is not Resident Evil anymore! It should really be named after something else even the characters . Talking about characters , Chris Redfield doesn’t look and feel nothing like old Chris anymore.

Other characters feel like some random questdillers from WoW, I knew nothing about them, I came and killed them, I’ve forgot about them. I played with Russian language, and that was the worst voiceover that I heard, so I decided to replay the game fully on English (easy replay cuz this stupid 70$ game is 8 hours long…)
    But I was surprised that in many scenes acting was SOO bad, so it felt like they hired some first year students from theatre academy to play it. Another point - this game is 8 hours long. I just can’t understand why RDR2, TLOU2 cost same price, but the quality and length differs so much. First part of the game had beautiful cutscenes, but at the end… wtf was that at the end Capcom, u ran out of budget or what?

    And finally, what is this game? A horror? If so, it is not scary, the only one part was scary for me, everything else was so lame so I was yawning the whole time. If not a horror, so what, a shooter? This game had worst gun shot sounds and weirdest animations, and I received no pleasure while shooting. Even at the end. And, I forgot, the main plot twist was so obvious at the beginning, so my final feeling about this game is - disappointment.    … Expand

    7 felt like a good soft reboot for series. Back to the survival horror roots with a new and interesting story. 8 just throws all that out the window and goes straight off the deep end. Extremely disappointed with where the story went. It felt rushed and lazy.
    But let me clarify... The game mechanics, graphics, music, art direction, mo cap, etc... is all incredible. Clearly a AAA product.    7 felt like a good soft reboot for series.

    But let me clarify... The game mechanics, graphics, music, art direction, mo cap, etc... is all incredible. Clearly a AAA product. Not a bad game or waste of money. But it's not Resident Evil. Not like 7 was. 7 had the slow brooding atmosphere and dense horror aura. It's was bleeding survival horror from it's very core. 8 isn't like that at all. It's an action shooter mixed with Amnesia/Outlast Style horror. They tried to make it work with mold and how the EVE virus function's overall. But... Werewolves, vampires, whatever stupid doll horror movie's there have ever been, Terminator 4 Dawn Of Fate or whatever, Retconning the origins of spencer's research, full blown re4 style action sections that feel so out of place and tacked on. All of it feels like a stretch for the lore. They really need to take the series back to it roots. Imagine zombies, hunters and survival with the RE Engine!!!
    8 almost had some great puzzles but, of course they were made too simple because capcom doesn't understand it's core fanbase. Money Money Money. There was a great piano puzzle that would have required actually thought and research for a non musician... but of course you can get past it by slamming every key until it gives you the answer. I was almost stumped because I got Treble Clef and Bass Clef mixed up in my head. But no... I noticed it was giving me the answer when I picked the wrong note to many times. Sigh... The generic doll horror movie sections was another wasted opportunity for great puzzles. I was getting a lot of old school silent hill vibes. But it was tedious and extremely straight forward. Not a terrible section for a horror game overall. I got scared. It was tense. But the potential... Again... A lot of work went into this game and it for sure has cool part's. It's just all rushed as a whole and feels very hollow for an RE game.    … Expand

Os inimigos mais descartáveis que já vi em um jogo de Survival Horror, que nada tem haver com o conceito da franquia em si, nota zero aí. Ambientação, é o quesito mais forte do jogo, tudo é bem feito e construído, encaixado com a trama de forma satisfatória. Puzzles, até que tem bastante, mas muito fáceis pra mim, não precisei quebrar a cabeça com eles; poderiam ter sido desafiadores pra compensar um pouco as outras cagadas no jogo. A trilha sonora é interessante. Enfim, dou nota 4,0/10 no geral. Mas ainda sim, bem melhor que o jogo anterior. Obs: Ainda sou da opinião que a Capcom deveria acabar de vez com a franquia, pois eles estão sem ideias e cagando pra ela, isso já está mais do que notado. Praticamente estão fazendo dinheiro com o nome "Resident Evil" e só, que foi de uma franquia notória dentro do cenário Survival Horror para ser a franquia mais incompreensível.

    Not Resident Evil.
    I enjoyed what RE7 did and how it set up a new sequel. But... Everything about RE8 Village bugs me. Every. Single. Thing. I don't like it as a Resident Evil fan, and I don't like it overall even if I wasn't an RE fan. It's a boring and pathetically dumb slog, and completely frustrating in every way it can be as a long time Resident Evil fan. I finished the whole game,    Not Resident Evil.

It's a boring and pathetically dumb slog, and completely frustrating in every way it can be as a long time Resident Evil fan. I finished the whole game, and tried to replay it on Hardcore thinking it might actually be better the 2nd time around. But the beginning levels are insufferable and when you finally get past the idiotically and frustratingly designed "Survive the Attack" scenario, you quickly realize you could be doing much better things with your time than suffering through this joke of a game a second time... The only reason it doesn't get a much lower score is because it's a video game with good graphics...
    But seriously, I hate everything about this. I hate the story, I hate the characters, I hate what the devs did to a pretty decent setup. I hate the clunky combat, even after using cheats to unlock powerful weapons with infinite ammo. I hate the nonsensical plot and dialog. I hate how they hyped up characters that were barley in the game. I hate the mercenary mode. I hate how it doesn't feel like a survival game anymore because they killed off all the actual survival gameplay mechanics. I hate level design. I hate that it has no good music whatsoever. I HATE IT. I can't really think of ANYTHING I enjoyed about it to be honest... and I tried to. It's a whole lot of wasted potential. This game deserves a much lower Metacritic score but the marketing and the hype drove up the score because... boobs I guess. Capcom completely misses the mark on what a fun game should be. I play video game to have fun, but this game didn't allow me to do that at any point in the entire campaign. The entire experience felt like a tedious, uninspired chore and I ended up just very pissed off and disappointed by the end of it. This game doesn't deserve to be called Resident Evil. It's a sad pathetic husk of a game wearing the RE name like a thin veil covered in crap.    … Expand

That’s why I was surprised when I couldn’t even make it past the first area in the game with the things that kind of look like Beast from X-Men. I spent almost an hour trapped in that first house trying to find a way out until I figured out that you can, indeed, kill them. Then it became a process of me frantically looking for where to go next before being slaughtered by a large group of the beast creatures. Rinse and repeat for two hours before I decided to just opt for a refund. No idea what I was doing wrong. I’ve heard others say it’s pretty easy. One of the biggest issues I had was picking up items. Sometimes I would be standing right next to it with the icon highlighted, but it’s like the button just wouldn’t register. The start of the game was also confusing and didn’t feel like RE to me. Controls were clunky, which I guess is to be expected. The enemies also felt more out of something like Devil May Cry or even like the orca from LotR. Main character seemed lame. His reactions just didn’t make sense, especially considering he’s been through this before. I didn’t play 7, so maybe that would help. Also had problems seeing because it was too dark.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With one foul swoop Capcom has ruined the resident evil legacy and lore. The revolation that Ethen is a molded creature and thus can't die and has been dead since the beginning of 7 takes away all rlthe stakes of these games. that his daughter rose who is a reincarnation of evalyn who is able to control molded creatures the same mold that the t-virus is made of basically makes her a god who is able to control army's of the undead in resident evil a series well known for happy living people. All this being cannon and tied to the series as a whole has lasting ramifications and basically **** on the series as a whole. By introducing imortal molded beings all you need is some mystic magic mumbo jumbo and boom you can create your loved ones who are dead from mold that can't die. Way to go Capcom you made resident evil six look good with this one. The voice actors apart from two are awful the narrative is insulting the puzzles can't really be called that and could be solved by a five year old it's rediculiously easy even on the hardest mode it never truly feels terrifying apart from that monster baby bit. It may have good atmosphere but you will find yourself lolling into a state of ease with not much challenging you. It's a shame really I think that there is a good game underneath all the **** bug you have to dig really hard to find it. Re:8 ruined 7 games not counting the spinoff so that puts the score to one and I give it a point for that god damn monster baby scaring me stupid so a Two!

    Similarly to Resident Evil 4 back in the day, Village will attract a new generation of players and redefine the franchise for the modern age. I guess it’s time to stop looking back and counting on the series to return to its roots. Capcom is well aware of those roots and willingly draws from them to create something new but still infused with Resident Evil’s spirit. Village is not perfect, but neither was RE4, and once again it’s easy to turn a blind eye to the flaws, because overall it’s an amazing game. [07/2021, p.56]

    Resident Evil Village feels like such a culmination. Bringing together elements from the franchise all the way up to now and crafting what looks to be the next step of survival horror, it embraces every aspect of the franchise. While the insidious dread of Resident Evil VII is missing, there are still plenty of scares. The monster designs are fantastic, from the generations undead, the fury of the Lupine beasts, to the towering monstrosities. It's well worth delving into the concept art and 3D models to enjoy them fully. The story is just the right amount of silly with the terrifying, and the odd dash of the surreal. The combat is smooth and fluid, best evidenced in the addictive Mercenaries mode. All of these elements added together make quite possibly the best Resident Evil to date, and a foundation for a fresh new generation of terror.

    RE: Village is a mixture of almost all previous Resident Evil elements, making the most of both survival horror and puzzle intensity, but with the primary stage being left for the more action-like nature of Resident Evil 4. It has some great story moments, sprinkled with a few lacklustre characters that are still overshadowed by its most notable characteristic – most detailed environment to date.
