    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First - Reviews of this game are suffering from people who outright refuse to engage with the game on its own merits. It is not enough to say "I am upset with the direction of the series." It is reasonable, however, to note that this game might not "be a satisfying direction" for longtime fans. Problem is, it doesn't deserve a deduction in points along with that note. The only place this would be forgivable, is if you are longtime established critic whom people go to for Resident Evil/survival horror commentary. But even then, maybe give the game a fighting chance on its own terms?

    Whine about subjectivity all you want. Maybe this is actually a refutation of scored reviews or the sorry state of gaming journalism, but reviewing is a critical thought exercise. You need to consider everything within its own context -- did the "text" (in this case, the game) set out to do what it intended to? Is it entertaining? Do the elements of intertextuality work? Is it scary? Does its world mesh?

    To these questions and more, RE8: VILLAGE gives a resounding, if imperfect, yes.

    The environments are beautifully realized in graphical quality and detail, but also in design. The way the world opens up is every bit as engaging as the Baker Estate from BioHazard. While VILLAGE of course takes a different tact in establishing tone, it does this successfully largely through its over-the-top locale. We have submerged ourselves in Gothic horror - something Resident Evil has always been taking inspiration from. Vampires are to mansions as mansions are to Frankenstein and zombies are to public buildings. They are tropes of the horror tarot that have been revolving since the 19th century and there are few more gothic settings than the Spencer House in the original Resident Evil. We've just gone whole-hog now. Vampires, werewolves are utilized well, and its nice to see them have a different origin than typical horror fiction tropes.

    This game is referencing so much its mind-boggling: Dracula, Frankenstein, Lovecraft, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Chuckie, Children of the Corn, the Wolfman, Van Helsing, and more, more, more. It synthesizes these influences into a coherent "Disneyland" of horror. To tie back to what I started this review with: The game can claim this a success, because the environments and character are fully realized, existing alongside the fictional lineage they are a part of. The world and characters feel like they can coexist. This world now belongs to Resident Evil. And you feel it while you play.

    Admittedly, the game leans farther into spectacle than hard character development, but horror should be judged on its atmosphere first and foremost. So, I'd argue this is okay. Rather than the suffocating scary-horror of BioHazard, we spend our time in the cool-horror of VILLAGE, but VILLAGE is not without its terrifying moments.

    The gameplay is snappy and appropriately responsive, creating just enough tension in fights to keep you on your toes. The interaction with the game world delivers its own set of enjoyable and satisfying moments. It demands that you engage and pay attention in order to solve puzzles, and oscillates nicely from longer challenges that wrap quickly and shorter ones you need to solve under pressure.

    Now for a couple of the things that take away from this experience.

    1. One area - Moreau's - is atrociously underdeveloped and -- honestly -- embarrassing. It is quick, simple, boring, the boss is underwhelming, and some areas are potentially a drag on your time. I managed through luck to squeeze by, but I imagine some folks got stuck on a **** bridge sequence.
    2. Some of the areas could have had a couple more rooms/sections added. I find this is an issue with many "AAA" games -- why not go the extra mile? This game would be a true classic if the castle, reservoir, and various passages contained just a tiny bit more.
    3. Normal mode is a little too easy, but hardcore is embarrassingly unbalanced. The first encounter probably had many people wishing they hadn't pre-ordered or bought the game. I'm all for a challenge, but this isn't that. It is unfair in design and quickly becomes tedious. It needs to be tweaked, especially since its probably the "sweet-spot" difficulty level.
    4. Some gameplay mechanics are explained wrong. You're told to bring food to the Duke, but if you sell him food before you unlock the cooking mechanic (the player doesn't know this is going to happen) those supplies are lost forever.

    And that's really it. Everything else about this game is superb. If its a direction thats not for you, thats okay. Maybe look into its influences, give it a shot? Play through with an open mind.

    I can't recommend it highly enough to horror fans or fans of Resident Evil.    … Expand

I really don't understand why majority off people consider res 4 the best must be nostalgia for the old people, I'm old by the way.

And history pushes you to do the things that the principal character has to do, not much exploration. In puzzles is a deception, but there are more than in 7 and that's great I think. I mean, this game is not that big deal, but it is a good experience. And I demand more because I know Capcom can make a bigger Resident Evil like other games in the saga.… Expand

Si que es verdad que tiene al final un poco de acción pero se combina perfectamente. En general me parece un gran juego.

    I really hope we get another First-Person resident evil games, i know theyre not as popular but i really like the first person formula. Have to admit the bosses were excellent! far better than the combat/bosses in 7. Please use RE8 bosses as inspiration in future projects!

    On PS5 this was optimised like a dream with only a few hiccups with fps drops during explosions etc; the seemless loading was noticable comparing to gameplay of pc and xbox.

Early rumors suggested this started life as Resident Evil Revelations 3, before being reworked and upgraded to a Resident Evil 7 sequel, and having finished it I can believe that. The change between the first and second halves feels like a gradual drift from the sinister tone of the last game, to Revelations' louder, fun action movie vibe. That said I'm going to have to try to explain as much as I can without spoiling anything, because Capcom has impressively managed to keep about 90% of the game secret and only shown off the first maybe three or four hours. Almost everything I could mention that isn't Vampire Mommy or a werewolf will be a surprise I don't want to ruin.… Expand

    Un gameplay divertente, dinamico e che non annoia mai.
    Storia raccontata bene e senza mai dilungarsi troppo, rendendolo sempre scorrevole e con colpi di scena continui dietro l'angolo.
    Il twist del personaggio di Ethan, che si scopre alla fine, crea una sensazione che pochi giochi riescono a regalare.
    Un'avventura che speri non finisca mai e che regala un mix di emozioni che lasciano il segno al giocatore.
    Il mercante è una chicca che ti permette di conoscere dettagli della storia e da semplice "venditore" diventa un tuo amico fedele, facendoti rivalutare completamente il personaggio.
    Resident Evil Village accumula i migliori tratti di Resident Evil 4 e gli unisce ai lati migliori dei suoi precedenti.
    Un'atmosfera horror con un gameplay sempre emozionante ed action; Ethan che trova un degno e onorevole finale, mostrando di essere lui l'eroe.
    Altro dettaglio degno di nota è la comparsa di Spencer nel racconto, che mostra come nonostante il capitolo sia molto diverso e staccato dai precedenti RE, ci sia una vera unione.
    Gioco che merita il GOTY assolutamente e sicuramente la strada giusta verso ciò che ci si aspetta da un titolo come Resident Evil.

    As a perfectionist, I beat the games after 12 hours, (which is far more considering that the usual beat time is around 9 hours), but I truly enjoyed discovering every single piece of each location and to find all the sectors possible – that's what good game is supposed to do to you.

    Resident Evil 7 was a great game too, but Village plays and feels like a much more serious AAA title with a great open-world, which 7th lacked.

The only part of the game that stopped me giving this higher was the factory part. It felt too Wolfenstien for me, I hated the drill hands and propeller face. But overall the story was captivating and I enjoyed it, the final act was brilliant. Well done capcom.… Expand

Und dann, gefühlt über Nacht, kursieren Ankündigungen über die recht zeitnaheAls Resident Evil Fan der ersten Stunde investierte ich über die Jahr(zehnt)e gewiss hunderte von Stunden in den legendären ersten, den würdig fortgesetzten zweiten, den neue Standards setzenden vierten, den kooperativ spielbaren fünften und nicht zuletzt in den gänzlich neue Wege beschreitenden siebten Teil. Und dann, gefühlt über Nacht, kursieren Ankündigungen über die recht zeitnahe Veröffentlichung eines neuen, nunmehr achten Teils im Netz. Gestern habe ich ihn durchgespielt. Ein Erfahrungsbericht. Spoilers ahead!
    Resident Evil 8 ist der Triple-A-Titel, der Teil 6 gerne gewesen wäre: Opulent, abwechslungsreich, für Serienverhältnisse brilliant geschrieben und unterm Strich auch eine Art „Best Of“ der Serie: Wie schon in RE1 sorgt ein altes, verlassenes Herrenhaus für die schlichtweg gruseligste Stunde des ganzen Spiels; wie schon in RE3 gibt es einen bestimmten Antagonisten, der den Spieler unbarmherzig durch ein (kleines) Areal verfolgt; aus RE4 stammen das Inventarsystem sowie das titelgebende, umwerfend desperate Dorf, welches ohne Untertreibung eines der Highlights des Spiels ist; und von RE7 entliehen die Entwickler neben der Ego-Perspektive (von allen sonstigen Features, die das Spiel ausmachen) ausgerechnet den Hang zu exzessiven Gewaltspitzen.
    Diese werden gegen Ende des Spiels sogar vage begründet, wirken aber weniger stimmig als im Vorbild, welches die Baker-Familie ja bewusst mit Backwood-Slasher-Tropen inszenierte. Außerdem fügt sich der „Gewalt“-Aspekt nicht so gut in den ansonsten auf Zugänglichkeit und, ja, Gefälligkeit getrimmten Titel ein. Dabei ist es gar nicht schlimm, dass RE8 den Geschmack möglichst vieler Spielergruppen treffen will – das gelingt ihm nämlich furios, und in einer Hinsicht sogar erstmals überhaupt in der gesamten Serie: RE8 nämlich wartet mit einem Ende auf, das den Namen auch verdient! Endlich hat Capcom das bewährte Nummer-sicher-Schema verlassen, welches da lautete: „Der letzte Spielabschnitt spielt in einem unterirdischen Labor, wo nach einigen Rätseln der Kampf gegen den letzten Boss in mehreren Phasen ausgetragen wird, deren letzte nur mittels deus-ex-machina-mäßig angeeigneter Superwaffe gewonnen werden kann. Danach kurze Dialog-Sequenz; Ritt in den Sonnenuntergang; Abspann“. So kennen und lieben wir unser RE – dachten wir. Denn nach dem Sieg über den letzten der 4 Hauptbosse (ja, ab da setze ich das Ende an) nimmt die Erzählung sogar noch zusätzlich Fahrt auf: Schauplätze, Protagonisten und Pacing wechseln immer wieder; die Dramaturgie fährt Achterbahn (haha, 8) und nach einer weiteren verschwitzten Stunde zaubert uns die eigentliche Endsequenz mit so viel Verheißung die „things yet to come“ entgegen, dass wir verzückt grinsend ins Sofa sinken.
    RE 8 macht einfach alles richtig, und trotzdem war die Begeisterung durch etwas getrübt, was ich lange gar nicht greifen konnte. Mittlerweile weiß ich: Was da stets beim Spielen mitschwang, war viel Nostalgie und ein wenig Wehmut; Wehmut ob der Erkenntnis, dass das RE-Universum nun eigentlich auserzählt ist: Mit der stimmigen Implementierung von westlichen Folklore-Sujets (Vampire, Werwölfe, Ritterburgen) sowie der Offenlegung der wahren Ursprünge der Umbrella Corporation bleibt für weitere Erzählungen nur noch mehr vom Gleichen; so meine Befürchtung. Auch wenn der neunte Teil genau dort weitermachen sollte, wo der achte endet – es wäre, wie schon im großartigen Teil 5 (welcher selbst nur dank der Szene im unterirdischen Garten gerade noch so die Fankurve kriegt), eine andere RE-Welt.
    Der düster-romantischen Grundstimmung von RE8 ist zu verdanken, dass diese Best-Of-Achterbahnfahrt solch herrlich nostalgische Wehmut hervorruft. Selbst der neue Händler kokettiert offen mit einem Bezug zum vierten Teil der Serie; und all dies funktioniert, weil es eben nicht „Star Wars Episode 7“-mäßig einfach neu etkettiert, sondern intelligent verwoben und noch ein (letztes?) mal weitergedacht wird. Fans, die – wie ich – seinerzeit der verworfenen ersten Fassung des vierten Teils hinterhertrauerten, dürften das ein oder andere Tränchen der Rührung vergossen haben, als sie das Schloss der Gräfin bis in den letzten Winkel erkundeten. Und auch der obligatorische „industrielle“ Abschnitt eines jeden RE-Teils erwischte mich kalt: Wähnte ich mich anfangs noch wohlwollend selbstsicher, änderte sich das mit jedem weiteren erkundeten Bereich. Nur so viel: Die Fabrik des Herren Heisenberg entpuppt sich als kafkaesker Fiebertraum einer Liason der Deadspace- und Matrix-Designer.
    Ich bin RE8 für vieles dankbar; hauptsächlich aber für den famosen Fan-Service (Umbrella Origins – YES!), das furiose, wendungsreiche Endgame und nicht zuletzt die fantastische, unglaublich schaurige und zum Glück am hellichten Tag gespielte „Beneviento“-Episode.

The map is a mad house and always something cool to find if you go and explore a little. The enemy variety is pretty good and they do a good job of randomizing them in different places so your not fighting the same type of enemy one after the other. Also if you thought the first game was to scary than this is for you i didn't find this scary once not even a little its more cheap scares than horror so don't go into this thinking you'll be scared off your chair or anything. Now the only problem I had was one time when the game about froze, but besides that this game runs like a dream.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil village continues to take Resident Evil in a direction that I love. In an over the top, almost silly at times. game that can still actually scare me every now and then. From the start where Ethan's life seems to be going well, to having him lose fingers, happens within about 20 minutes. Ethan is sent to Romania with his wife Mia and his new born baby Rose, but is quickly set back to a terrible sticky mess that he, and his poor hands, have to get though to save his daughter. You're thrown to the wolves quickly and literally with your only "friend" The Merchant Duke to help you. The tall vampire Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, Fish Lord Salvatore Moreau, Puppet Master Donna Beneviento with her puppet Angie, and Karl Heisenberg as the four lords are all interesting, intimating, and most importantly just good old scary. The lords are mirrored with references to a story book Mia reads to Rose, and classics such as Dracula, The Island Of Doctor Moreau, Frankenstein, and The Wolfman (and potentially the invisible man in Ms. Beneviento). Each of these lords naturally have their own areas and bosses to traverse. Most of which it is almost sad to defeat these bosses and progress due to their charm and lore. The gameplay itself is a lot like RE7 but you have more room to move since you're not stuck in a house this time. I never felt too overwhelmed, apart from a few times where there just seems to be a few to many enemies that can take a lot of punishment to defeat and a truly horrifying sight within a basement. The player begins exploring the village before moving on to boss areas. The village has its own little details, secrets, and puzzles that really show the effort and love the team put in. Much to the credit of RE8's marketing team we are all excited to know big vampire momma is the first boss area we explore. Her castle is incredibly beautiful and highly detailed. Right down to the portraits of the ladies and a missing tube of lipstick. The castle itself has a lot of secret areas with a lot of notes so don't feel pressured to get out of there too fast, there's so much to do. Next is Donna Beneviento and her dolls! This area is the most effective in terms of horror content and player discomfort. Be prepared to go at this without any weaponry, and rely on your speed and eye for detail. My girlfriend found this area particularly horrifying due to her fear of dolls and puppets, at some points even covering her eyes while I sped through, which only proves how impactful the area is as she is a huge horror fan. Third is the creature of the lagoon's area, Moreau. He is the least appreciated of the 4 lords and might be the one the player has the most sympathy for. Moreau just wants to impress his mother after all. However, while the area is pretty simple to traverse (minus a VERY large enemy at the start), his boss fight can be incredibly difficult due to his poison damage. Before finally heading off to Heisenberg and his factory, the player is first sent to a Lycan stronghold which has an overwhelming amount of enemies but not without its charms. The factory is the final area before end game. Heisenberg is a very well written character as well as excellently acted by Neil Newbon. While a fascinating boss, the factory is a pain to get through. It has a confusing layout with a lot of turn arounds. Before finally facing the final boss there is a section where you play as Chris Redfield which is very entertaining and easier due to his massive amounts of ammo. There are puzzles all throughout, however for the most part they're pretty simple to solve. Each one looks very intricate and detailed but not a big obstacle. There's a bit of exploration to do in RE8 if you wanna take the time to look but nothing that dampens the story. Overall the two playthroughs I've done so far of RE8 were fun and scary with great villains, fun gameplay, and a story that kept me interested the whole time. Some people may not like the combo of RE4 and RE7, but it feels like the devs put a lot of love and work in which does not go unappreciated. In addition, there's no microtransactions, or DLC's so far!… Expand

    Great game! I will definitely pass on the difficulty "village of shadows". Thank you Capcom for making true games.

    the game was fun and intense, it is different from usual resident evil vibes. maybe not the best installment in the series but it holds up high. I like the first half of the game, when it was "A resident evil" game, then it started shifting to the RE5 and RE6 kind of game. I am not a massive FPS supporter and usually prefer my game to be in 3rd person.

    Very well pumped 7 part. There is nothing more to say. No kidding, they've tweaked every aspect of the last game and added a new unique activity. Franchise development is heading in the right direction

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game. Graphics and gameplay was astounding. The character design and back story was so good and the voicing was amazing. My favorite character was lady Dimitrescu, she was amazingly built and made had you on the edge of your seat in every chase scene. The house Beneviento basement part was amazing the horror aspect and the suspense was great .I do feel that heisenberg's level was out of place tho... he is a good character but his factory didnt go with the me devil feel of the game and neither dod his machinery.… Expand

    Resident Evil Village identifies itself again not only as a survival horror like Resident Evil 7, but also a adventure shooter. To have several elements comparable to Resident Evil 4 is high praise to this chapter of the franchise. The ending's plot twist is amazing in itself!

    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.
