    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 really liked this game and if you liked RE7 you will love this one aswell. I think the gameplay is RE8 is better, but the story in RE7 is better. They are both must play titles for fans of the horror genre.

    What a great game! The levels are fun, the boss fights are great, the horror is pretty well done and unexpected, there is this one part scared the crap out of me, and the story is interesting. Overall, there are still minor flaws, but it's still a very good game to play.

    Este juego me parece una maravilla, esta muy bien hecho y eso se nota. Hacia tiempo que no me sentia tan cómodo jugando a un Resident Evil, en pocos momentos se hace pesado y tiene una historia muy buena con unos jefes muy entretenios. Mi nota es un 9, me parece una nota justa.

    Ambientación increíble y muy inmersivo ayudado por su sonido 3d y las funciones del mando de ps5. Un resident evil que no pierde su esencia aunque su evolución también es muy notable. Excelente. Si sale en un futuro para las VR será increíble como ya lo fue el VII

    The new Resident Evil continues the adventures of Ethan in Romania and it is a lot of fun. It draws inspirations from RE4 and more action and Resident Evil true than 7 not being that scary. A game that is a lot of fun, this is what it is important in video games to not forget to be fun.

    Resident Evil Village has just become my favourite RE game so far. It’s a truly incredible game that feels like a tribute to the most iconic RE games so far, borrowing a bit from every game.
    The story is truly amazing, as a fan of RE who has played all of them I never thought RE would wake on me all the feelings it woke a the end.

My jaw was dropped so many times. And just moved the classic monsters and horror. Masterpiece. 10/10. First time i preordered a deluxe edition and was happy!

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

If the rumors of this starting out as revelations 3 are true I can see that.

    Instead of a more grounded experience like RE7 we get a hodgepodge of RE7, RE6 and RE4. And like this game, sometimes it feels great and sometimes its cheesy. First person worked in RE7, while in this game it just feels clunky, restrictive and overall bad.

    I wont spoil the story but even the final "boss" makes fun of how you have to go through each area to progress. It does not feel as natural as RE7 or RE2 remake. Most of the puzzles are laughably easy. And even on hard the game is just way to easy. They throw money, gems and valuables at you left and right.

    Overall I do not hate this game like some other RE games. But compared to others it comes off a little flat for me. Again, not a bad game by any means, just not great either.    … Expand

    This is probably the most lovingly crafted Resident Evil game and the best in the entire franchise (although likely nothing will replace RE4 as my favorite). It's like they took the best components of RE4 and the best of RE7 and crafted an amazing and refreshing story to cement it into the RE franchise. Mercenaries mode is in some ways better and more approachable than it was in RE4, 5, or 6.

The game is not just a shooter as many people have assumed it to be, it has taken inspiration from a lot of things that re4 did right including the merchant system which feels really well done an. Also , hunting for animals and resources is extremely satisfying with the bonuses they give to health and movement. There are many horror elements, including the peculiar looking monsters and let's not forget, the terrifying fetus from the Beneviento house. Many such moments filled with suspense and horror. Characters are fantastic including lady dimitrescu, who unfortunately exists for 15% of the game. Each area is filled with unique treasures and resources which you could sell to the Duke to earn hefty amounts of coin. This coin can be used to upgrade weapons and buy critical resources for survival. Backtracking hence feels fun and rewarding. Every location is uniue and brings a new foray of enemies which get tougher throughout the game. The game's story is a tad bit hard to comprehend but sets the base fort he future resident evil games. 13+ hours easily taking all the treasures and backtracking. Plus the mercenaries mode makes this game worth every penny… Expand

    Resident Evil Village is masterfully crafted in atmosphere, gameplay and level design. The great scope and variety of this game makes it very memorable. However the story to me is only good until the mystery is revealed.

It makes    Resident Evil Village is masterfully crafted in atmosphere, gameplay and level design. The great scope and variety of this game makes it very memorable. However the story to me is only good until the mystery is revealed.

    Gameplay wise, there is a bigger focus on action but there is still enough survival horror elements to make it a stressful and even scary at times experience. It makes this game stand out from its predecessor while still feeling familiar. This game is meant to be played on hardcore difficulty. Every encounter felt intense and required a lot of resources to overcome. This is perfectly balanced with the new Duke merchant where you can buy and upgrade weapons as well as resources. The sense of progression in this game is very satisfying. There is also a big focus on exploration to find rare animals, treasures, weapons, attachements and secret rooms which requires you to solve optional puzzles and sometimes fight some hidden mini-bosses. This game offers a lot of variety. Each zone has a different environnement and a distinct feel. They all feature varied enemies and the gameplay focus for each zone is different.

    One small gameplay misstep is last section in which you play from a different perspective. It ditched the formula RE is know for in favor for a COD like section. It is too linear and would have been better if it shared more similarities with RE7 not a hero DLC.

    Now lets talk about the story (without spoilers) which to me wasn’t very good. From the beginning to the final act you are kept in mystery which is good for this kind of game. However, in the last hour, they reveal too much plot details and twists that are poorly explained. The main vilain’s background and her motivations are only explained in a note and the way she infected the whole village is only hinted at during the credits. It would have been nice to have a flashback of her past to humanize her (like Jack in RE7) and the game had the opportunity to do so since one of its theme is shared consciousness and memories. Instead of a more grounded story isolated from the overall RE lore (like RE7), they wanted to have higher stakes than just you and your family while still keeping it personal but it felt too disconnected from reality to have a big impact.

    I preferred Ethan as a blank protagonist because the dialogue in this game is poorly written. At times, it was very awkward. Unlike RE7, it didn’t feel like I was watching real humans interacting with each other. It turned this game into the story of a goofy faceless father instead of being the player’s story. On a positive note, the 4 first vilains and the duke were well written and charismatic.

    Overall this is a great game. The gameplay is satisfying and addicting. There is something to love for both fans of action and horror. The mystery throughout the whole game will have you searching for answers. If it wasn’t from the last section in which the story and gameplay fall appart, Resident Evil Village would have been a masterpiece.    … Expand

    Resident Evil: Village takes the ground work from the seventh part and mixes it together with the very best from the previous Resident Evil titles. It enchants and shocks us at the same time, to the point that we become completely addicted to it. A contemporary classic that sets a new standard, just as Resident Evil 4 once did.

    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, 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 story of RE village is like no other in the series. just after playing the demos and seeing the trailer i thought to myself that im probably not going to like this game as much. but the internet couldnt stop talking about it so i went ahead and bought the game.
    as a long time RE fan i could literally say that capcom has released their most ambitious project ever! DMC5 and RE 7, RE2 remake and RE3 remake wasnt enough, this game just blows all of them out of the window by design and visual perspective, thanks to quixel megascan. Capcom has been killing it lately with all their franchises and im extremely proud to see them grow and make single player games like never before! Good job Capcom!
    And back to the review, RE village takes place in this midevil village with ethan winters once again. i hate ethan, like he is to cliche or just not as interesting as other characters in the RE series like leon, chris, or even carlos. Ethan is just there and he is really boring, but as least his stories were told right and on point especially in this game i just clapped my hands and shed a tear at the end for how beautiful the story was.
    Visually the game looks absolutely great! However i recommend turning RTX off cuz the difference is very minimal and only does a few lighting changes and really takes a chunk on the performance. Just like DMC 5 SE, The RE engine just didnt implement RTX good enough, love em or hate em CPDR did RTX the right way on pc but im not going to get into that in this review.
    Gameplay wise, well the fov is very low and i feel like the guns are right in my face and it even at some degree makes your character move slower when turning so its a bit bummy but you get used to it. and also the sweet variety of weapons and progression items that you collect to sell and make food that permanently boosts your character is such a game changer!
    sound track is spot on! who ever worked on the sound design should get a raise cuz there were levels and times that it was so freaking good i was really scared and also enjoying it at a degree.
    And this might be the longest but now im going to talk about level design. And who ever worked on the benevianto house should make his own game or give us more of that experience cuz i was literally horrified in that level in a way that i havent felt like that since playing amnesia for the first time! like literally That level is my Number 1! as the most scariest thing ever and my number one on puzzle solving and design overall that part of the game is just a pure masterpiece! But also other levels of the game are absolutely well done and full of detail and stuff to do like the castle and the village itself and other places im not going to mention.

    Overall stop reading this review and go buy the game already! I love this game so much i finished it twice and i still want more! Capcom i thank you for publishing such a wonderful masterpiece! everything about this game is very well done! However the only feedback i could give is that i want dismemberment just like dead space had. like for real, why didnt this feature make its way to RE yet? Imagine shooting an enemy with a shotgun and his arm or leg flew off or exploded and he is still after you. How crazy could that be?
    and in the end of this review. go and get it on your system RIght now! and i dare you to tell me you didnt like it! as a fan of the series it still really does stay to its original roots. and characters are very well done overall.    … Expand

    The main bone I have to pick here is that they turned up the action at certain times while turning down the puzzles and the need for a strategic approach overall.

    Not sure why I remember the classic RE games being more puzzle-focused and strategy. It might be just me, but today I think they should try to go more towards RPG style of action and build, and focus more on strategy, and puzzles; and they definitely need to work on the story/lore.

    Gameplay was alright for the most part, at times it felt almost like a parent (bad guys) tripping intentionally when playing "catch me if you can" with their child (protagonist).

    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.
