    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really cannot remember one thing that was bad in this game. This and RE7 are masterpieces, they are both equally good on its own way. Before i started my playtrough, i read from a lot of people that it is more action game than horror. But i wouldn't agree. The game has some REALLY scary moments. All the villains,enemies and sub bosses are perfect. Heisenberg voice actor did a great job, i must mention that. Also, the enemies from his area are creepy, especially Sturm Soldat. House Beneviento had the creepiest atmosphere in the game. But, oh my God, the deatils in this game. I am from Serbia, so our villages (Eastern Europe) are tottaly same like in the game. I really felt like it is some old village in my country. It is so detailed, every brick, every tree, every muddy road. After i finished the game, i closely watched concept art images a 3d figures of the characters, and that i realised indeed how it was detailed. I see that a lot of work and love was put into this game by the developers, so i appreciate that, i can't give nothing bellow a 10.… Expand

    This is my very first Resident Evil game, and while I think that it's a pretty fun experience overall, the game itself has some major flaws.

    I absolutely adore the Eastern European/Gothic Horror setting with the vampires and the werewolves, it's excellent. Most areas are incredibly detailed, the atmosphere is disturbing, and the buildings look very beautiful.

    I have to say, the gameplay mechanics are better than I expected, the game is fun to play, the guns feel and sound satisfying, and there is a good variety of tools to use.

    Ι found most of the characters to be quite annoying, except from few of them that were lowkey entertaining, the Four Lords are overall intimidating and pretty much the highlight of the game.

    The writing is very amateurish and straight up bad, there aren't any peaks in the story and it's very short, personally it took me around 8 hours to finish it, and I think some areas should have been expanded, especially the castle.

    Lastly, the dialogue is very cheesy and sometimes the game takes itself too seriously for no reason, which hurts the overall tone, specifically in the second half of the story, there are some questionable moments that take away the immersion completely.

    I really appreciate the effort that was put into the game though, the Dimitrescu Castle looks great, there are many areas to explore, the environment looks really nice, the village is cool and there are many things to do in it, decent amount of details here and there, I honestly enjoyed it a lot, it really is a well crafted game after all.

    Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.    … Expand

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

    The first game in the series that I played. High-quality game - development, unlike Ubisoft. The rating is high also because of Shadows of Rose, which is very good. But, there are stupidities too, not plausible barriers through which one cannot pass. And the character is even slower than an ordinary old man in reality and cannot even dodge, only block and even then takes damage.

And the character is even slower than an ordinary old man in reality and cannot even dodge, only block and even then takes damage.
    But I liked the game - original, realistic, high quality good optimization - no "Ubisoft" (Bugsoft) - bugs, crooked textures even on the main characters, empty senseless running around, etc.
    But the 7th and 4th are, at least. very similar and no longer willing to go through the same thing with other characters.
    And I love the maximum difficulty, but guys, it shouldn't be based on replay to pass, and so many time to spend, replay so many times to find out where to hide and how long you have to sit there.... don't be meticulous! I'd enjoy it more, a lot more if I didn't have to count ammo. And you need to make the character normal, as in reality, but you did, the developers of this game, he is like an old man and can't do anything.
    There are also puzzles, which is good.

    Please don't mix the sexual genre with games, especially when it's not exactly 'the 18+' and the game's story is not about that, but yes there are things inherent in this genre, such as Detorit: become human and Soulstice. Horror should not be associated with this genre... And many people like to play horror games (and thriller) In addition, in this game there are hints of dirty, not beauty.

    DLC.... stop it, why i need to buy after buy? and it's expensive.    … Expand

    I find it a bit unbalanced the first part being the longest and having the most puzzles. Next parts of the map are not so puzzly and some are very short. Game is not difficult on normal level, it gives a lot of resources. I liked the atmosphere, the story is farfetched, and we are very far from the old zombie theme.

    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.

The world design, the characters and the narrative are its strongest points, making it enjoyable from beginning to end. On top of this, the horror section was a very accurate addition that gives it the deserved signature of the survival horror genre. But the middle section of the game, the poorly designed puzzles and the lack of challenging boss battles (with the exception of the final encounter), leave a bittersweet taste for veterans of the franchise.… 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 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.

    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

    Just one more good game in RE Universe. If you played RE2/RE3 remake or RE7 you know what it's all about - there are no big changes. Two minor but important changes: more humor and more action. As for me I'd better give more time for Dimitrescu castle as it's probably the best part of the game but diversity is good as well.

    Not Resident Evil.
    I enjoyed what RE7 did and how it set up a new sequel. But... Everything about RE8 Village bugs me. Every. Single. Thing. I don't like it as a Resident Evil fan, and I don't like it overall even if I wasn't an RE fan. It's a boring and pathetically dumb slog, and completely frustrating in every way it can be as a long time Resident Evil fan. I finished the whole game,    Not Resident Evil.

It's a boring and pathetically dumb slog, and completely frustrating in every way it can be as a long time Resident Evil fan. I finished the whole game, and tried to replay it on Hardcore thinking it might actually be better the 2nd time around. But the beginning levels are insufferable and when you finally get past the idiotically and frustratingly designed "Survive the Attack" scenario, you quickly realize you could be doing much better things with your time than suffering through this joke of a game a second time... The only reason it doesn't get a much lower score is because it's a video game with good graphics...
    But seriously, I hate everything about this. I hate the story, I hate the characters, I hate what the devs did to a pretty decent setup. I hate the clunky combat, even after using cheats to unlock powerful weapons with infinite ammo. I hate the nonsensical plot and dialog. I hate how they hyped up characters that were barley in the game. I hate the mercenary mode. I hate how it doesn't feel like a survival game anymore because they killed off all the actual survival gameplay mechanics. I hate level design. I hate that it has no good music whatsoever. I HATE IT. I can't really think of ANYTHING I enjoyed about it to be honest... and I tried to. It's a whole lot of wasted potential. This game deserves a much lower Metacritic score but the marketing and the hype drove up the score because... boobs I guess. Capcom completely misses the mark on what a fun game should be. I play video game to have fun, but this game didn't allow me to do that at any point in the entire campaign. The entire experience felt like a tedious, uninspired chore and I ended up just very pissed off and disappointed by the end of it. This game doesn't deserve to be called Resident Evil. It's a sad pathetic husk of a game wearing the RE name like a thin veil covered in crap.    … Expand

    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

    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.
