Apesar de observar várias críticas e comentários negativos sobre o jogo, tive uma percepção positiva e muito bem vinda das decisões artísticas e criativas do título. Design incrível das criaturas mutantes e vilões, que usa como referência mitos e lendas, para criar um atmosfera sombria e inteligente, sem precisar apelar para infecções zumbis, já tanto utilizadas e ao meu ponto de vista, saturadas ao longo do tempo. O desafio de um desenvolvedor é lançar algo novo em um universo de mais de 20 anos, e ao meu ver, as escolhas feitas foram precisas. Jogo Resident Evil desde seus primórdios, e admito que a série cometeu erros ao longo do tempo, tentando encontrar o seu tom com o mercado de games mudando o tempo todo. E acredito que o equilíbrio entre seus sucessos foi bem executado com Village. Gráficos incríveis, apesar de ainda não utilizarem do potencial da nova geração, resolvem bem a atmosfera do jogo, sombria e misteriosa. Trilha sonora continua marcante, e duração satisfatória no tempo do jogo, o que era uma crítica constante nos jogos anteriores.  Se você curte a série, e se mantém aberto a mudanças sem apego a deralhes como câmeras fixas e cidades abarrotadas de zumbis, dê uma chance para Ethan, Chris e toda a aventura que Resident Evil Village pode proporcionar.… Expand

    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.

    Bravo! Capcom hits its stride with RE Village. With both 7 and 8, Capcom has absolutely managed to capture the feeling of the older, classic games. This has horror and action elements, and it is practically a love letter to RE4, one of the greatest entries in the series.

    My review: Capcom did it once again! ----------
    Concept: 10/10
    Resident Evil 8: Village is a first person survival horror game, and the follow-up to the stellar 2017 Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, now with more action elements that it's prequel. Having played hours on my PS5 I think of it as an homage to the 25 years since the birth of the franchise, since it's clearly got influences from    My review: Capcom did it once again! ----------

    Resident Evil 8: Village is a first person survival horror game, and the follow-up to the stellar 2017 Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, now with more action elements that it's prequel. Having played hours on my PS5 I think of it as an homage to the 25 years since the birth of the franchise, since it's clearly got influences from many games in the series, especially RE7 and RE4. ----------
    Location and world: 10/10
    A Romanian village is your main hub that connects all the areas of the semi open world and it really shines. As a person that lives in the Balkans, it really looks not only beautiful, but also veeery truthful to the location it's set in. Now, there are many locations spreading outwards from the villages, such as the Castle and the Factory, each one with its own antagonists and with a very different tone overall. This, along with the loads of enemy types (compared to the RE7's much less enemies) makes the game much more interesting to play. I've heard that many people would probably buy it just for Lady Alcina Dimitrescu which only appears in a fraction of the whole game. Admittedly, when I first heard I was kinda disappointed, but, trust me, you will not get bored and you will see much more! ----------
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Gameplay wise, RE8 uses a first person camera which I prefer to the third person view of RE2 just because it definitely increases the immersion. It is more action packed at some points, with guns and ammo, requiring nice utilisation and more horror packed with less guns and more scares at some other points. -----------
    Story: 9/10
    The story is interesting once again with Ethan being the protagonist. Nothing extraordinary, yet likeable enough for you to get into the game and immerse yourself. I am not going to get into it, not to spoil that much for you, but I will tell you, it has its nice plot points and set of characters. It's simple like that of RE7, compared to RE6 which I think it was a bit crowded and too much was happening. The main story lasts 9-13 hours depending on your gameplay type, which is just a bit more than that of RE7, but it's replayability is even better, thanks to the many unlockables and the classic Mercenaries mode which is fun and action-packed. I could see myself playing 40+ hours before starting to feel bored of the game, which is very nice. ----------
    Graphics: 10+/10
    I could easily give it more than 10 points if I could, just because it looks absolutely stunning. Definitely one of the best looking games I've ever played! You can clearly see the care the developers have put into making it as photorealistic as possible, even on old-gen consoles, probably thanks to the best use of RE Engine to date. You can see simple details other games don't even bother have, like tile textures etc. I am really impressed by Capcom on this achievement! ----------
    My verdict: 9.6/10---->10/10
    Did you like RE7? You will probably like most of this one too. Did you like RE4? You will probably love this too. Are you a Resident Evil fan? This is a must have! This game is a very nice blend of Action and Survival Horror, which, in my opinion, even with its minor pacing issues is still a nice addition to your collection, especially with the Next Gen consoles having very few titles.
    P. S. Since RE8 is a sequel to RE7, make sure you have played the latter first!    … 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.

    Significant replay value worthy of multiple playthroughs. After R3make there was speculation that the franchise was stepping back in the direction of RE6- have no doubt, with this game, RE is back and better than ever.

Capcom did a wonderful job of capturing the spooky nature of the levels and the atmosphere.

    The levels are very detailed, be it the houses in the village filled with half cooked food or the furniture in the castle or the claustrophobic Beneviento's house. The amount of variation that can be observed, from the castle to the creepy doll house to the factory , makes this game a joy to play for someone who loves detailed level designs/level designs that pack a lot of creativity and variety.

    Characters: Character creation is where this game gets a big plus. The characters don't feel cheap and the characters are also very detailed in terms of textures + portraying the emotions.

    Gameplay: Gameplay is fun. It's a game that takes around 10-12 hours and is ideal for folks like me who don't have a lot of time to play video games anymore. Gameplay has the usual resident evil mechanics like crafting, ammos etc One thing I loved is the ammo isn't as scarce as resident evil 7 which made this game a tad bit easier than the previous game.

    Gameplay goes from RE7 style gameplay to something a action intensive gameplay and Capcom transitioned the gameplay from one style to another with fluidity.

    Audio: One has to use headphones to get the best out of this game's audio. This game has amazing 3d audio which really helps to adds an extra layer of immersion in the game. It helps in the boss fights + you can easily track the enemies based on the 3d sound.

    Over all, Capcom has perfected of what people expect from a AAA game in RE8. The detailed level design, characters that pack a lot of depth and emotion, great 3d audio, the ability to change the difficulty(yes, this is a big deal now-a-days), save feature so you need not be glued to one specific game, amazing visuals, a good storyline, the final hour of amazing action packed gameplay, hitting 4k 60fps with ray tracing, all combined together makes this game a perfect 10 on 10.

The merchant is great. Speaking of which.. the cast in the game is what makes it great. The characters are amazing. Both on the good and bad side. The boss fights are amazing setpieces. Story is very interesting. It does miss some deliveries in some scenes as is the usual with RE games honestly. But this game has a lot really cool stuff to add to the RE lore and story going forward which I loved. The extra content is also plentiful and encouraging to go through.

    All in all. This RE has a plentiful of all the good stuff I and fans of the series probably want in an RE game. Great Horror, exploration, item management, Gunplay, treasure hunts, boss fights, story, shocking and epic moments.

    As someone who has been a fan of survival horror since the original Alone in the Dark, this is possibly the best horror-survival game I've ever played.

I've played games that are scarier(SH1), had better stories(SOMA), but I've never played one that had such an excellent grasp of the genre's gameplay.

    Resdient Evil: The Village's combat is thrilling and difficult. Resources are scarce, and enemy encounters are varied and interesting. There is a great and expansive system of buying and upgrading weapons. Although not terrifying, there are parts of the game that are quite creepy, cycling through the many types of horror gaming from classic Resident Evil in a mansion, to Layers of Fear, to the claustrophobic industrial setting. There are many nods to previous RE games, almost like a greatest hits version of the series. There's something very similar to RE4's controller-throwing opening combat sequence where you're swarmed by endless enemies. Once you get past that opening hurdle, the game becomes much more free-from in something like the hub-based open world you see in many immersive action games, with light RPG elements. The level design is excellent, reminiscent of Dark Souls, and rewards exploration, as you uncover hidden new areas.

    What kicks it up to a 10 is hard to explain. The game is just cool. Its stylish and bleak visuals, the fantastic graphics, and great character design of your adversaries blend together perfectly. There is also a subversive undercurrent of dark humor that I loved in the writing and dialog.

    I don't give out 10s often, but I believe I might never play a survival horror game as good as this.    … 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.
