    Un buen juego con algunos aires a resident Evil 4 pero sin perder su originalidad

A lot of backtracking if you want to 100 percent it but for me it didn’t feel forced or convoluted. In my opinion the gameplay is right in the sweet spot between action and survival horror.

    Soundtrack: I didn’t really notice it too much. Not bad but didn’t stand out. Audio: The sounds are well designed and detailed. A lot of work went into the guns, enemies, and actions that you do constantly throughout the game.

    Visuals: The RE Engine on the ps5 is impressive. I didn’t notice any pop in or slow down but I’m also not looking for imperfections. The resolution and graphics seem great to me and there was only one time during the final boss that I noticed the pre-rendered cutscene differentiate between the gameplay that broke the immersion. Story: It is so unique and twisted where I did not see it going. It’s had me hooked. I could see how some would find it campy or too much. But it is a resident evil game. The game respects my time and that is important these days. I can pick up and play for small sessions or long. I can set save points strategically to try bosses over and over to get short times to complete challenges. I can set save points to play parts over to kill a ton of enemies with specific weapons to unlock more stuff. The game is a resident evil game through and through.    … Expand

    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

    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!

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

    And even though it seems "short", with around 10/12 hours to complete, I honestly feel it's the right amount, especially because you want to jump back as soon as the credits roll.

The rest of the game is a fairly competent first person survival game at its heart that, while fun to play and engrossing, really makes you wonder where they are going to go from here with the horror aspects in the next game.
    Easily this game features one of my most favorite horror sequences in gaming, and in entertainment in general. Its frankly that good but is over in almost a flash. It's also fairly early in the game, coming in around a 1/3rd of the way through. The rest of the game falls back on the action survival 1st person experience. It's done fairly well but really falls into an action first mentality, especially towards the final half of the game. While its not bad, I really wish we could have had at least 1 more horror segment of the game. As it stands, even with the amazing second area here, RE 7 was a much more horror-focused experience. But I'd say this was a better overall game. The overall story is fairly well done and sets up for many more games after this one, as well as some possible spin offs that might come about.
    I'm very worried about how Capcom will handle those future elements. They've already come out and said they let off the horror pedal alot because of some backlash from RE 7 and it shows quite a bit here. It really makes me worried that they will discard it entirely, like they did with 5-6, and focus heavily on the action set pieces. I would still play those games as the action here is fairly good. But its clear that whoever is in charge of the horror aspects for this game knows what they are doing and it would be a massive shame if that element is taken away from the series yet again. Resident Evil became scary again with RE 7 and the horror elements here really show that they might be the best in the business when it comes to pure horror. I'm just afraid that the people who dont like horror might say this was too much and they will strip it from the next installment. That would be such a massive disappointment as its clearly the best part of these games.    … Expand

    Capcom have truly crafted a unique and fun horror/action experience that is thrilling, captivating and (somehow) always unexpected.

    While I don't think it's better than RE7, I do think that Village was bold enough to come close.

    The two first things that astounded me when I pressed start on this title were the graphics and sound design. Capcom nailed it AGAIN with the RE Engine, as they have been hitting the perfect spots since 2017. The soundtrack might not be very memorable, but the haunting sounds and imagery of the village will forever stick with me.

    After being in awe with Village's incredible presentation and set-up, I fell in love with the gameplay. Yes, the similarities with RE4 are all there, from gameplay, to pacing, mechanics and even story bits, but the biggest comparison should be done with RE7. Basically, RE8 carries over its previous installment's gameplay, but perfects it.
    Every addition made to the gameplay loop worked perfectly. Ethan moves better, aims better, the Duke is not only a great character but also a fantastic shopkeeper, the ingredients system keeps you invested and everything else was well-developed in order to make the exploration and combat feel joyful to play. And they did it.
    And not only exploration and combat were tweaked for the better, but puzzle solving too! Each puzzle feels light and not frustrating at all. Backtracking is rarely a chore and the interconnected levels are brilliant. I love this soft-puzzle-solving approach that Capcom has been taking the RE series and I hope they keep it up.
    One other thing, this game was the easiest Resident Evil that I've played in a long while and while I don't think that this is objectively bad at all, I do recommend playing on harder difficulties if you enjoy the "survival horror" challenge.

    Village's atmosphere is also one of the main things that kept me hooked. I felt that, like RE4 did in the past, RE8 manages to perfectly balance horror and action moments. Things get a little out of hand during the final hour, but it never felt out truly of place. Sure, it's not as scary as RE7 or RE2REMAKE, but it DEFINITELY kept me on edge and tense throughout the entire experience.
    **** that Beneviento ****

    And the story: I also loved it!
    Probably one of the craziest stories told in an RE game. Ethan, his family and even Chris are way more fleshed out than in RE7, and not only that, but the main cast is presented along with plenty stunning supporting characters. The Duke, Dimitrescu and her daughters, Heinsenberg, Miranda, Beneviento, Moreau and even Chris' goons or the poor villagers - they're all great!
    Each area of the game is varied enough and fits perfectly with each villain. Environmental storytelling, packed with the stunning level design, was key to make it all work. Nothing felt out of place and the story benefits greatly from that. From beginning to end. It's surprise on top of surprise. And better yet - most of them were written pretty well!

    Few things prevent this game from being the masterpiece that RE7 was. I'll be brief.
    The thing that most bothered me is how little the story showcases its biggest strenghts. Despite being very good, Village has TOO MANY good things to show, and they do show them, but not for long! I just wish they expanded more about characters and the village itself. Especially during the final moments of the game.
    Village didn't need to be longer, just... a bit broader?
    The story also had the weirdest post-credits scene. If it wasn't for that, everything would fit naturally.
    In my opinion, RE8 did little when they had a lot and RE7 did the opposite, which worked better.

    Gameplay-wise, I didn't like the amount of missable items and areas. I mean, yes, if you miss them, it's your fault, but I wish there were indications about missing them other than the map.
    And while the bosses were mostly very good, one of them felt a little too.... anime?
    Also, the final hour of the game is TOO fast-paced. It does answer plenty of questions, but they say goodbye to the scary atmosphere and hello to FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. I didn't like that very much.
    Oh, the Mercenaries mode! It felt ok, but not as fun as in RE4 or RE5. Shame, though.

    I could spend hours talking about Resident Evil Village. It truly is an amazing game, with a few minor issues here and there.

    Well-paced game but I feel like out of the 4 non-main bosses, the first 2 are more interesting so it's a little downhill from mid-point of the game. Graphics are good and there is a variety of gameplay so the game is not repetitive. Ammo is scarce enough that it's not a full on Call of Duty, and there are parts that emphasize hiding or running to survive.

    Resident evil village is a mix of the old and a mix of the new.. This is a first person survival horror game with more of an emphasis on weapons than purely sneaking and sriviving.. which works in this setting, but I would’ve liked this to be more gradual.
    Here once again like in resident evil 7 you play as ethan winters, searching for his daughter rose after their home is ambushed and the both of you are kidnapped, you find yourself in a village full of vampire meets werewolf character, and its so refreshing to not deal with lame zombies or mold creatures.. these enemies are terrifying when you first run into them… but I woulve loved a gradual lead up to actually getting some weapons in hand muck like in resident evil 7.. sneaking around this village, sneaking through the castle trying not to get caught as you got the items you needed, until finally you get a weapon, blast your way out of the castle and destroy the enemies in the village.. instead I almosti mmediatly felt untouchable.. which really killed the scary aspect of village for me.. there were definitely erie moments here for me.. but I never felt terrified the way I did in past resident evil games.. but as a more action almost first person devil may cry feeling game… village is great.. and I absolutely love the attention to detail and variety here… resident evil village is constantly switching up the areas as you set out to take down multiple targets in a vastly different setting from eachother.. theres so much to collect, find and upgrade like the older resident evil games, with the map color indicator letting you know when you’ve grabbed everything, and these a shop that just pops up along your journey to upgrade your weapons, buy ammo, or sell these crystals you pick up off of enemies, really giving you incentive to be aggressive here.. trying to afford all of the upgrades you can for your weapons..
    Resident evil village does get a little lame and obring in its final stretch. .but they all do.. but not nearly as bad as 7 biohazard… if youre ready for resident evil to get back to the way it used to but don’t want to let go the creepiness first person adds to the series.. resident evil village is a perfect mix.. I do again just wish they tried to scare me a little bit more… much like in the maiden demo… more of that mixed into resident evil village, and this couldve reached masterpiece level..

    I really loved this game, it's actually the best RE game since 4 imo. The gameplay is excellent overall, the soundtrack puts you in a really suspense mood and the story is very resident evil with all their wackiness. A really fun game.

But the atmosphere of this game is great, the ties and easter eggs to other resident evil games and horror movies in general are really fun. Better than 7 but it sins of not being very original specially when compare with RE4. GOTY 2021 contender… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Capcom seems adamant about changing RE's direction. Ignoring the blockbuster success of RE2, they are far more concerned in making a complete overhaul of the RE lore.

    However, as a completely new type of game. It is phenominal. Deserves praise.

I think the simpler the story is in a RE game, the better it is. Is it scary ? Well, there is one moment that is sooo scary, i almost wondered if could play it, but overall, not that much. I understand why, the dev team wanted to do an experience that was closer to action than horror compared to RE 7. I don't think they failed in the scares department if their goals was to make this game a bit less scary. Am i disapointed by this ? A bit. I love a scary resident evil like 1 and 2 but i also don't think more action based RE are bad. So, I gave this game a 9 because i think it's a nice continuation of RE 7 and like I said, there is nothing objectively bad in this game. The rest will be about your own personal preferences.… Expand

    First, the "bads".
    People are complaining about 2 things mostly :
    - Lack of Zombies! (Indeed, I can confirm, this RE is on a different theme so far...)
    - Game is not scary (Well that's a different kind of scare so far, indeed, I don't feel like **** my pants in horror but I do feel the tension, my heart is pounding at times, not scared but pumped up!)

    So all in all, yeah it feels sort of different from the classic RE games so far but I'm really having a blast!
    I do share the toughts about the game feeling polished, been crafted with care for details.

    I also read a lot about this being a sort of mix between RE4 and RE7, that's a pretty accurate perception.

    Killing stuff so far seems "Just right".
    Monsters (or whatever you wanna call them) takes the right ammount of damage before diying and they are smart enough to put up a challengeing fight without feeling unfair.

    It's nice seeing a PS5 title being playable and mostly fluid with ray tracing ENABLED and looking great!

    I only played about 2h so far playing it slow paced trying to see/find everything the game has to offer and enjoying it to the max!

    Easy 9/10 so far and I'm not rating it 10 cause I'm keeping myself a margin of error but if it keeps up, I might correct it for a 10 by the end of my playthrough.    … Expand

    For anyone who was afraid that Resident 8 was too disconnected from the series and no longer looked like Resident Evil, rest assured. At least in gameplay and atmosphere, Village does not disappoint and consolidates one of the best eras of the franchise, but it does not get to surpass the acts of action, the 3 eras Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6.

It would've been perfect if they made the trophy such that you need to finish every map once if they wanted you to go through everything.
    Anyway since most of the players will likely just play the story mode most of the time, that part is excellent. I would've liked a more tense atmosphere to be honest, like the Baker house, but what we got is definitely not bad. Definitely recommend this game and I'm glad I've got it.    … Expand

The game does things very different but often for the better. It has a good variety between action and horror in my opinion and the set of enemies and weapons gets you going pretty well. Overall this game is to me a 8.5 moving upI love the RE Franchise but sometimes I found that the games were lacking for my personal liking.

It has a good variety between action and horror in my opinion and the set of enemies and weapons gets you going pretty well. Overall this game is to me a 8.5 moving up to the 9 because of personal tendency.

    I ve been playing the game on my PS5 with no issues so far. I didnt feel any fps drops (playing with RT off). The games looks beautiful although some textures lack a bit of detail. Generally the engine provides a very atmospheric result in both outdoor and indoor parts for action and horror bothways which is quite impressing. Starting with RE2:Remake the sound design improved drastically and I feel this continued with RE:Village. If you can use headphones or a decent surround system this game is absolutely amazing with the depths it can provide.

    The game mechanics itself are well known. I feel the inventory and save system went for the better. Overall the weapon and upgrade system seem fair and provide good content over time. I find the game lacks a bit when it comes to boss fights. They feel very innovative yet they are very dull and bullet spongey. There is not much skill applied most of the time and feels a bit grindy. Yet the boss designs are fantastic with great variety which I honestly enjoyed a lot although it might feel a bit drifting away from the RE main core.

    With all difficulties, weapons, mercenary mode and challenge the game provides at least 8-12 hours of straight story gameplay and probably around 20 to 35hrs for completionist which justifies the launch price for fans otherwise I suggest to wait for a discount of 10-20% for a better deal. I definitely do recommend the game it feels very different if you actually play it instead of watching videos or streamers. It is really enjoyable and for a surprising touch the story isnt too bad either.    … Expand

    Jogabilidade: A Capcom conseguiu trazer a nostalgia do nosso saudoso RE4 com alguns elementos clássicos como a maleta. Basicamente a jogabilidade é a fusão do RE7 com RE4. Gostei bastante. História: Dessa vez a Capcom conseguiu fazer um Resident Evil que não é apenas um jogo de Tiro a ponto de parecer um “Call of Duty de Armas Biológicas” mas trouxe uma história muito misteriosa e macabra podemos assim dizer. (Me lembrou Sillent Hill em alguns momentos) Gostei demais ! Espero que a Capcom continue evoluindo a qualidade da Saga e não faça downgrades como o RE3 Remake.

    Resident Evil Village is excellent during the beginning and middle but then becomes mediocre towards the end.

Aclare algunos puntos sin spoilers del juego y de lo que me parecio :
    Es falso decir que resident evil 8 es solo accion , tiene momentos realmente asombroso y un momento en particular que da mas miedo que todo resident evil 7 , sin embargo es cierto que tiene mucha mas accion que re7 , cuestion que no tiene porque ser necesariamente criticable , ya que capcom domina muy bien los tiempos .
    Jugabilidad excelente , mejoro mucho respecto a la jugabilidad del 7 , haciendolo mas rapido ,agil , no tan tosca como lo era su predecesor .
    Tecnicamente es excelente , animaciones muy conseguidas , fisicas muy bien (lamentablemente no se puede romper mucho el entorno ), una direccion artistica que es lo mejor del juego al igual que el diseño de escenarios .
    Armas increibles , mucha variedad .
    Sistema de inventario igual al de resident evil 4 , que personalmente me gusta mucho , el mercader funciona muy bien y divertido .
    y lo mejor del juego el sonido , impresionante lo que logro capcom haciendolo uno de los juegos mas inmersivos que he jugado nunca de 10 este apartado
    Por cierto uso del dualsense muy logrado , sobre todo con las armas INCREIBLE
    Tiempo de juego , es un poco mas largo que el 7 pero tampoco es de soprenderse resident evil nunca ha sido una saga de juegos largos por lo que no puedo ponerlo como un defecto
    Y por ultimo hablare de los puzles , historia , boss fights
    Los puzles son simples , me parece que capcom tiene que seguir mejorando en este sentido , aunque en este juego mejoro respecto a entregas anteriores le falta todavia . Hay puzles que llegan a ser ingeniosos y otros que son muy basicos .
    La historia es buena pero podia haber sido mucho mejor , Capcom tiene que mejorar la narrativa y esto no es solo algo particular de este juego sino de muchas de sus franquicias incluyendo a resient evil . haciendote sentir que no entiendes nada , que todo es especulacion , es complicado de explicarlo , personajes como chris redfield que tenia mucha espectacion acabaron siendo desaprovechado , apareciendo muy pocas veces en el juego y aun no entiendo del porque ocupa la portada del juego
    Las boss fight estan bien , un poquito mejores del estandar de esta saga
    En el unico apartado donde este juego es peor que el 7 es en el dieño de nivel .
    En conclusion estamos ante uno de los mejores resident evil top 4 por lo menos .
    Lo mejor : Ambientacion , jugabilidad , diversion , apartado sonoro, tecnicamente excelente , artisticamente de escandalo , armas , variedad de situaciones , dualsense (ps5)
    Lo peor: Historia , Fisicas mejorables respecto a la destruccion de escenarios , diseño de nivel .

    It is a very solid 9/10 for me.
    Capcom did a very good job with the new characters. Come on, who doesn't love Lady D, Duke or the sadistic Heisenberg?

    The only reason I don't give a 10 is that I think they can do even better and hopefully RE 4 Remake can achieve that! Can't wait!

    I just love the new direction capcom have chosen for this franchise.its new but in the meantime loyal to the roots of the franchise. I really recommend reading all the files in the game to understand the meaning of the loyal to the roots.

    Resident Evil Village is an incredibile videogame. It gives the feeling of the old same Resident Evil while giving it a new twist. The story telling is great, I find it less "trashy" than the older ones (like u won't see Chris punching a giant rock) and all that happens to Ethan is explained.

    Without a doubt this game is in the top 3 of the best RE ever made. The perfect combination of action, horror, puzzles & good storytelling along with one of the greates graphics available in PS5. The only setback is it has some fps drops with Ray Tracing activated. Totally GOTY contender!

Ahora este título está claramente apuntando a ser un híbrido entre la acción y el terror o suspenso, y la verdad es que me ha encantado que hayan podido encontrar un equilibrio entre estos dos géneros, y a la vez me gustaría decir que hay un momento en que se siente algo muy Silent Hill apuntando más al terror psicológico y eso me ha encantado. En cuanto a la historia me ha encantado todas las referencias que se puede captar de otros Resident Evil ayudando a expandir aún más este universo y tal vez ir por nuevos caminos que tal vez le pueda ayudar a la saga, tal vez en éste título algunos lo puedan sentir un poco lento en historia porque en sí no te lo van diciendo así muy explícitamente, al menos en mi caso, con todos los documentos que vas encontrándo te van alimentando un poco más de la historia de lo que podría estar pasando y lo que también ya fue dándole más personalidad a los personajes. Hablando de los personajes me ha encantado que esta vez a Ethan le hayan dado un poco más de personalidad, o tal vez porque ya tiene ahora si una historia detrás ya lo conocemos un poco mejor y así podemos ahora enfatizar más con el, y con el objetivo que tiene el como personaje y como padre, en cuanto a los antagonistas me ha encantado el hecho en que como los vayas enfretando y vayas conociendo su historia puedas enfatizar más con ellos e inclusive sentir algo de lástima. En definitiva es un título que me ha encantado, un título que a pesar que no es perfecto o que no viene a hacer una revolución a lo que fue Resident Evil 4, es un gran título y que para mí es un título imperdible para los que sean más fanáticos de la saga.… 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.

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

It has everything from action to help less horror. the ending is satisfying and puts a great end to the story of ethan winters. the game also explains resident evil 7 more and does it great. the only flaw for me is i wish it maybe had a little more guns

The combat, graphics, enemy variety, weapon upgrade system, level of exploration and open-worldness, were all just simply put, Awesome.

Even the final boss I thought really stuck the landing and was a massive improvement over 7’s really lackluster final boss. That being said why the game was “almost perfect” was because they could have done so much more with the games puzzles. They were just way too easy and there were just not enough of them. Removing the ability to backtrack to essential locations (i.e the castle, the reservoir) was also exceedingly frustrating during my first playthrough. Hopefully capcom learns and makes the changes for 9, but these small misses don’t change the fact that this game is an absolute titan. Do yourself a favor, buy the game and play it.

    Depois que você consegue o quarto frasco, a pegada de terror cai um pouco e o jogo passa a conter mais ação. Os combates são levemente exagerados na parte do Heisenberg e o fechamento da história acaba tendo algumas partes confusas.

    Porém, mesmo com isso, a Capcom conseguiu fazer muito bem a dosagem de ação e terror no geral, e a narrativa interessante te prende do início ao fim.    … 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.
