    La historia es muy buena, en contenido me a parecido un poco corto, pero mucho mejor que el 3 y el 2 remake, muchas armas, buenos momentos de tensión, sólo casi al final que con cierto jefe sentí que jugaba el 6. Le añadiría un poco de velocidad a Ethan sin romper elemento Survival; otra cosa es que es muy rejugable, eso probablemente para algunos justifique el precio.

    really enjoyed this game with some interesting puzzles, abit less horror but nontheless still full of passion and enthusiasm from the developers at capcom to deliver this level of game which is honestly impressive. Not many major complaints for the game as it is exactly the kind of game i quite enjoy.

Not many major complaints for the game as it is exactly the kind of game i quite enjoy. However i do have some minor gripes such as the main character ethan being quite funny and fearless in face of such horror, some of the dialogue that comes out of his mouth is just freaking comedic genius timing. The game on Normal mode is too easy but i still enjoyed it quite alot. World building feels contained yet open ended and imaginative, characters are quite interesting and the story was certainly something interesting to me. A really strong recommend from me even if you have not played the previous RE games, this is good!… Expand

    I hear bad things about this game, but when I played, I had more then just fun. I had it preordered and was playing the beta when it hit me. “This game is fantastic”. Zero buyers remorse, instead I can’t wait to buy DLC.

    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

    Classic Resident Evil experience. The story got way more intense and interesting with this one. Overall a great improvement to already superb Resident Evil 7. Now looking forward to the final part of the trilogy.

    Waited to play this on PSVR2, and I am glad I did! I can't speak to the flat-screen experience of the game, but the VR version is FANTASTIC!

    The game has an excellent sequence of environments and evolution of enemy types, and the first half or so of the game is very spooky and scary. I was checking corners with my pistol or frantically fleeing a dangerous horde. The second half turns into more of a combat fest, which is fine because the VR gunplay is awesome!

    I beat it in 10 hours on the casual difficulty, and had fun the whole time. I was still pressured to perform in combat, and there are many moments in the early game when you are frantically trying to reload your gun as an enemy is bearing down on you. Later, with experience, some massive enemy pops out and you, the now seasoned vet, pull open your coat, pull out an explosive device, throw it, grab the sniper rifle from your back, fire once, cock in a new shell, fire again- all fluidly, practiced, and business-like as if you are a professional monster-slayer. So, you develop into a combat god yourself as the game goes along.

    100% worth the money and time. This is not just a game, it's a literal adventure to enjoy.    … Expand

    After the excellent seventh part, you hope to see no less quality of the plot and gameplay. So Capcom did it. They surpassed themselves, this part is filled with plot twists, references, it is quite important for the franchise. The DLC gave a lot of plot and reflection. That was a great experience. Thank you Capcom!

    I only ever played it in VR and I expected to dislike it due to it being a port. It's definitely not a VR-first game, which you can tell. But I overall really enjoyed it and give it two thumbs up for some really nice interactions, graphics, horror elements and gameplay. Parts of the game were too much horror to really enjoy it, but very well done.

    Here are a few things that could be better:
    - I often missed events during cut-scenes, since I was looking somewhere else and didn't know where to look. I don't see an easy fix for that, since it's obviously made for flatscreens and not a problem there. Probably a necessary evil
    - The demo should be free (not cost 0.25, why?)
    - If I grab a "special object" such as a letter, when I let go I drop everything I was holding on to (flashlight, gun, ...) which was annoying
    - I don't like having to drop guns and see them reappear in their slot. Even if it's just for the added immersion, I'd love to put them back manually, or at least have them move back to their slot as soon as you let go. Not a big deal, but I think it makes a big difference in VR
    - I was missing some haptic feedback when breaking something with the gun in hand
    - I would've loved to grab objects by hand to examine them, but it isn't a big part of the game and probably not worth the effort. Still would've loved it.

    I really enjoyed the gun mechanics (haptic feedback, adaptive trigger, headset vibration, reloading, ...) and loved the coat mechanic. Really clever idea. I was also happy to see an option to use "touch" to grab objects, I was afraid I'd have to squeeze that trigger really hard all the time.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ein tolles auf Action Fokussiertes Resident Evil in der Tradition von Teil 4 und 5.
    Grafik: Die RE Engine zeigt mal wie's was sie kann und das ist einfach nur Herrlich anzusehen.
    Game Design: Die Level Architektur ist Resident Evil Typisch mal wieder einfach nur gut auch wenn insgesamt etwas schwächer als zb. im RE2 Remake.
    Es gibt das gewohnte Backtracking und genug zu entdecken Abseits der Main-Quest Hauptwege.
    Gegen Ende Eskaliert die Action immer mehr.

    Was negative auffält ist das eher mäßige treffer Feedback was in den Remakes wesentlich besser ist.

    Der Sprung vom RE7 auf RE8 kommt mir ähnlich vor wie der von der Alten PSone Trilogie und Code Veronica auf RE4 was die Gewichtung von Action und Survival Horror angeht.

    Leider sind die Antagonisten im ihrer Persönlichkeit nicht so Präsent wie ich mir das gewünscht hätte. Insgesamt bleiben sie eher flach und nutzen ihr Potenzial was definitiv da ist nicht ganz aus.

    Die Story erklärt mag ich sehr gerne. Sie bleibt Resident Evil Typisch eher Flach aber erklärt die Geschehnisse aus Resident Evil 7 und gibt Interessante Einblicke im die Entstehungsgeschichte von Umbrella. Das Ende hat einen Riesigen Cliffhanger und lässt hoffen oder fürchten das RE9 ein Action geladenes Spektakel werden könnte in dem Chris Redfield eine Zentrale Rolle Spielt möglicherweise mit Gegner die Waffen benutzen wie damals in RE5 und RE6.

    Insgesamt ein Spaßiges wenn auch zu kurzes Resident Evil Abenteuer.    … Expand

    Excellent game. This game continues the story of resident evil 7 and finishes it in a interesting way. It doesn't have the same vibe as the previous game. Resident evil 7 was more scary while Village was more like an adventure. I suggest you give this game a try!

Later, the gameplay itself screamed at me THIS IS RESIDENT EVIL! This is it! Item management system, weapon leveling, puzzles, and the combat itself though in first person view (now in 3rd person thanks to the DLC). Like the good old REs from the first PlayStation. Also all the locations were created wonderfully! What a game! Capcom did a good job with it. It's already one of my favourite video game!… Expand

    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.
