They have hit the sweet spot with this game, that perfect ballance that only a few horror games in history have achieved. RE 7 was an amazing game IMO it was already up there with the best horror games. It had the Atmosphere and setting that made for a Masterpeice. I am Happy to say Capcom has made Lighning strike twice with RE8V. Its got everything 7 had with an awsome new setting and even some improvments. The bigest improvment is combat, its more previlent and always keeps you on your back foot. I hear alot of new horrors fans claiming combat takes away the fear in these game and they want all horror games to be these walking simulators we got dozens of this generation. That is rubish. Combat is an intregal part of true survival horror. Go back and play the OG resident Evil and Silent Hill.games they are full.of shooting. It just that later games were larger so there was more of everything including enemyencounters.
    The trick is to ballance the combat. Ammo conservation, lining up the shot and positioning is what builds tension in true survival horror. Not just jump scares and mountains of blood and gore.
    If you run from an enemy because runing is the only mechanic at your disposal, that to scary, thats not tension. When you run because you cant trust your self to line up a shot due to low ammo , your location being to constictive and the heaviness of the situation, thats true fear and tension.
    I really wish people would stop making statments like combat in survival horror makes it just like COD. The last 8 years have been terible for horror all we have got is walking simulators. The RE games are the last games staying true to the genre. Just let us have these games.. If you truly cant understand the nuances and complexities between the different controls and mechanics in diferent genres, do you really need to give an opinion.. There plenty of walking simulators for those that want them.

Finally the beginning should have been much different bit I won't spoil why. You will know 5 minutes in what I mean.
    A lot of people give it an 0 is because it's not the RE they're used ed to, but it's literally 7 better better. If you enjoyed 7 this is a must buy. If you're wondering why 1o, it's not to offset those agree with I just think there is so much good that it covers the bad. It will be in my fav game for a while.

In one play through you will never be walking the same endless areas nor doing the exact same thing or fighting the same enemies, it is not padded for duration. In my first play through I clocked in at 18 hours. Then played 12 hours to obtain SS rank on Mercenary modes. Then played 40 hours to platinum. Also I spend one more hour enjoying the art and models and clips unlocked on finishing the game. The HIGHLIGHT of the game play is the huge amount of bosses and the enormous enemy variety, great mechanics utilizing PS5 adaptive triggers, ray tracing, HDR, 4K and most of the time 60 fps. All of these make the game a joy to play. As in most Japanese games, there is no political agenda in it, so that is another welcomed point. All in all, a very fun to play, very deep, AAA game. Expand

    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

    A great blend of modern-day Resident Evil titles with a Resident Evil 4 vibe.

    In my opinion, this title is probably one of the most refined Resident Evil games to date and it makes me wonder where Capcom is going to take the franchise next. Gameplay-wise, RE8 feels much more fluid in its movement compared to RE7, with the weapon-swapping similar to Doom Eternal. As the story goes,

    As the story goes, it is the continuation of RE7's story where you play as Ethan Winters. Personally, I enjoyed the story but I feel that it came off as a little cliche. But hey, that's the charm of the Resident Evil series though.

    The plot is AWESOME, in my opinion. The gameplay gradually ramps up and makes you feel powerful towards the end, while also still making you feel helpless because of how many resources you have to manage and use.

    All of the characters are interesting and I'm glad there is mystery behind many of the characters, while giving you enough to understand what their motives are.

    Man, and the 'family above all else' narrative is pretty sweet, in both a cool way and a heart felt way.

    This game is scary, but there is a specific part of the game that is pure psychological horror and it's scary as hell.

    Uh, just buy it, ok? I am giving this a 10/10 because of replayability and I really do believe the game is all around great.

    Oh and Mercenaries mode. :D

I think this direction is avery good way. A new chapter. Capcom did more than a great job with this one. The game has very insane moments. but I will not spoil them.

    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.

    Resident Evil Village is a perfect successor to Biohazard in every possible way.

From the beginning you’re thrown into a wonderfully haunted environment with inspirations of classic horror stories like Dracula and Frankenstein, which is a much more charming approach than a rotted house in the south. Rather than gross mold monsters, you’re faced with lycans and vampires amongst other classic horror enemies as you explore a much more open area that is the village and its surrounding areas. The greatest stride this game made over the previous was characterization. Not only is more depth added for Ethan and the cast of good guys, but all the villains feel much more meaningful than the Baker family. You find yourself remembering their names, wanting to know their backstories, and always getting excited to see what happens when you find them. Right from the start of the game the plot explodes and you’re completely sucked in to the beautifully designed castle and the villains who wander it, but once you leave the castle the game makes you feel like only then did the game truly begin, and that’s an incredible feeling.
    Every second spent exploring this game is a feeling of curiosity and intrigue, keeping your guard up for any new enemies that may be around a corner they were not in before. While I wish it was possible to backtrack at certain points, I loved always having new places to go and things to do. Even the collectibles are fun to find. The story certainly carries this by giving you new and interesting characters along the way, leading to a conclusion that’s immensely satisfying and makes me excited for what comes next. Simply put this game is a work of art, from wonderfully written plot and dialogue to beautiful imagery and environments, and a level of masterful and suspenseful storytelling that always made me come back excited to play more. Without a doubt this game is a work of near perfection and surpasses its predecessor by giving you a longer, more expansive, and overall more enjoyable journey every step of the way.

    You have no idea what a work of art is !! this game deserves more than that mediocre grade. Capcom has been doing things well since RE 7. so I give it a 10 as it deserves. Play it and you will see that there is tension and terror.

    When I tried out the Demo my thoughts were: "meh Vampires, Werewolves, come on Capcom. Did you confuse RE with castlevania?.. but at least the gunplay is nice and my god the game looks beautiful. think I'll give it a shot."

    I'm glad i did. I finished my first playthrough in 8 1/2 hours, which doesnt seem that long given the price I paid for it. Other AAA-games double or triple that
    When I tried out the Demo my thoughts were: "meh Vampires, Werewolves, come on Capcom. Did you confuse RE with castlevania?.. but at least the gunplay is nice and my god the game looks beautiful. think I'll give it a shot."

    I'm glad i did.

    I finished my first playthrough in 8 1/2 hours, which doesnt seem that long given the price I paid for it. Other AAA-games double or triple that with ease. But where others (for example AC Valhalla) bored me to death with their empty interchangable characters and story, Resident Evil 8 shines with a quality experience. Particularly that grotesque cabinet of well written and acted characters, the villians could be taken straight out of a Tim Burton movie. Not to mention the pacing and plot twists, which i didnt expect at all to be that compelling. All in all definitly a memorable Adventure.

    The graphics, oh my god, the graphics. I have rarely found myself wondering in awe at a Game that much. For me Resi 8 joins the ranks of Horizon Zero Dawn, Control, Cyberpunk, Tomb Raider and AC Odyssey/Valhalla. (I know there are more, but those were the most stunningly looking that Ive acutally played). Its not only that the textures, the lightning, reflections and all the technical shenanigans are great, but its the balance of light, shadows, coloring, reflections etc. that makes this game truly shine. Capcom managed to find the sweet spot to set the perfect tone for Ethans second Journey through the Marcabre.

    The sound design, for me is always the special child. From the roaring of the beasts or the sound of the guns to the little rustles, snaps, creaks and cracks. All those litte details that were added, Capcom absolutely nailed it. I found myself all too often cramped up in my chair holding my breath in tense situations, to a good portion thanks to the superb sound design and muscial composition.

    Last but not least, the gameplay. For the most part Resi 8 follows the same phases. Get to a new area, kill boss, explore for extra loot, upgrade stuff, repeat. Sounds simple,.. and, well it is. But you dont really need much innovation, when the structure you built is filled with Quality content. E.g. the balance of loot and currency/treasure for upgrades. I never felt having an excess of either, but also never felt like there was an all too threating shortage as long as i played it smart (on Standard difficulty). This kinda stands symbolic for the whole gameplay experience. Also got to mention, in my almost lifelong career as a gamer i have probably killed a thousand bosses, but after some of resi 8`s bosses I was just smiling, thinking:"F**k, that was awesome.." Capcom has to have done something right achieving this. I guess, its a mixture of all the things ive stated above.

    Conclusively, Resident Evil 8 follows a simple recipe, but a simple recipe done right.. and that all the way. The sound, gaphics, story, map, riddles, gunplay etc... the whole feeling of it. And sadly nowadays you have to state that (at least in my exp.) they did it bug free. *looks over at CDPR with visible dejection*

    First of all, let me make an introduction like this, I liked this game very well and I say this by looking at the general series, not by looking at a game, and I start to evaluate it, Re Village, the main subject of the post.
    The Good Parties
    This game has advanced the Resident Evil series about the universe and story, as Capcom says.
    The story
    I don't know how to tell the game without telling the scenes from the game in general, but in Re7 they connected the story very well, but in this game they connected it 10 times better than the level of that game for a long time.
    it was the best game I have experienced in general, I had a lot of hesitation about the progress of the story, no thicc vampire sister werewolves with advertisements. finished game definitely play this game.
    ⭕Play
    The gameplay is almost perfect in every aspect, the feeling of the hit, the variety of weapons, the variety of bosses and the high number of them, I have cut more than 20 bosses that do not affect the big and small story in general in the game and this gives the right to have that much weapon variety.
    ⭕Graphics and Performance
    I played the game on PlayStation 4 and I passed the fps drop in performance, I even experienced an increase in the 45 fps constant running game went up to 50 fps and this shows that it is an extremely good optimization As someone who likes the story of cyberpunk 2077, the optimization disaster came like a drug because it is a game. And I played extremely comfortably. The graphics push the boundaries compared to the old generation.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Every location in this game offers a unique experience....from the halls of castle dimitrescu to the cranks and steam of heisenberg's factory. The game is not just a shooter as many people have assumed it to be, it has taken inspiration from a lot of things that re4 did right including the merchant system which feels really well done an. Also , hunting for animals and resources is extremely satisfying with the bonuses they give to health and movement. There are many horror elements, including the peculiar looking monsters and let's not forget, the terrifying fetus from the Beneviento house. Many such moments filled with suspense and horror. Characters are fantastic including lady dimitrescu, who unfortunately exists for 15% of the game. Each area is filled with unique treasures and resources which you could sell to the Duke to earn hefty amounts of coin. This coin can be used to upgrade weapons and buy critical resources for survival. Backtracking hence feels fun and rewarding. Every location is uniue and brings a new foray of enemies which get tougher throughout the game. The game's story is a tad bit hard to comprehend but sets the base fort he future resident evil games. 13+ hours easily taking all the treasures and backtracking. Plus the mercenaries mode makes this game worth every penny Expand

    La historia esta bien hecha y tiene mas aire de terror que su predecesor donde habian pocas escenas donde de verdad pasabas un mal rato esperando algun jumpscare, pero aqui lo hicieron de maravilla con el nuevo motor grafico, el apartado de sonido y algunas claras referencias en secciones del juego que se inspiran en películas y juegos como Silent Hill.
    Una optimización bastante buena para consolas tanto de antigua como de la nueva generación.
    El doblaje al castellano deja que desear pero estos juegos son los que mas se disfrutan en su idioma original, felicitando a los actores de voz que hicieron un papel espectacular. Completamente recomendado a cualquier fan de la saga.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 9 hours and 30 minutes and 420 gamerscore, I was done with the latest Resident Evil offshoot. Folks, great for me, I had so much fun with it and even started the game all over again. To classify: so far I have played Resi 2 (8/10) and 3 Remake (7/10) as well as Resi 7 (9/10). For me, Resi 8 has sat on the throne of this series.

    story
    The game is still quite fresh, so I won't write much about the story (including some spoilers), except that I liked the whole process around Ethan Winters, I was very happy with the twists and turns and was sometimes surprised. This cabinet of horror curiosities that you face, the fantasy setting brought a change for me that I found terrific.

    The individual characters do their part, especially Lady Dimetrescu has been shown excellently.

    I just felt it was a shame that it was over a bit quickly with the good lady and her daughters, they were just used for the beginning and I always ran right intuitively, which is why I got through relatively easily. The facial expressions, gestures and dialogues of these vampire ladies were wonderful and I wanted to see more of them.
    But the other members of this gang also had their moments.

    graphic

    The game looked really great. The setting fits me perfectly and it ran smoothly on the Series X. I actually had no noticeable frame rate drops, although sometimes a lot can happen on the screen. The selected landscape, the various facets of the individual areas, create a coherent and well-designed overall picture for me. Every now and then I stopped for the photo mode (unfortunately it wasn't that great, somehow the pictures sometimes looked strange) and marveled at the landscapes or just the inner workings of the houses, the castle, etc.

    There is a lot of love for detail here and one or the other Easter egg can also be found.

    Atmospherically, it was also successful for me, because the horror parts also exude real horror for me, but perhaps could have been a little more.

    Gameplay

    So first of all I have to say that Resident Evil is incredibly varied (horror, Mr. X gameplay, puzzle passages and skill passages, pure action). But I can understand if some e.g. the horror aspect was neglected. To be honest, that was enough for me and after this very specific part of the game I was exhausted.

    That breathed pure horror.

    The start of the game is as crazy as it is ingenious, I just sat with my mouth open in front of the PC and couldn't believe what I was seeing: Werewolf people who ride horses and shoot with a bow and arrow.

    The first half of the game is also very different from the second half and I personally found the gameplay change to be quite successful. Especially after the turn mentioned, the game briefly takes on completely different forms. It is precisely this point that will probably split people's minds (if not a little earlier in the factory).

    Each of the individual opponents gets their moment and all of them are consistently interesting. Just the introduction of all of these was phenomenal.

    We also have the classic Resi weapon game play, which is a bit sluggish, but also wants to be that way. I got along with it, but I probably wouldn't have made it higher than normal. The ammunition in particular is pretty precisely measured towards the end. The inventory was incredibly pleasant and was a significant step up from Resident Evil 7. The dealer was also a lot of fun and the upgrade system was very motivating (I love the revolver, unfortunately I never really had a lot of ammunition for it). The weapons themselves are very well chosen, I have actually tried everything and did not find any weapon to be useless. I also used mines, bombs, firing flour to distract, and so on.

    So the action turned out very well for me and got even better later. In addition, the game offers some intermediate bosses, where you really have to use all means to combat.

    There are also puzzles and smaller mini-games, but they were all pretty easy, I have to admit, and could have been a bit more challenging. The classic texts for reading should of course not be missing and I tried to absorb everything.

    If you play the game through then you have the opportunity to unlock some things for further rounds of the game. There is a mercenary mode in which you simply have to eliminate opponents in a certain amount of time. Not particularly exciting but the bonuses that can be unlocked are worthwhile: There's a damn lightsaber available as a double blade 5/5.

    I only have to criticize the level of difficulty, which was actually suitable for me on normal (also had problems) but the lock was way too easy. Also, some boss fights were a bit boring because they just endured a lot.

    Conclusion

    I have so little to criticize here because I just had too much fun with Resident Evil Village. I can certainly understand when certain decisions by the developers are not considered to be good, but I always had fun. For me 10/10 Mushrooms

    First a foreword:
    A game about an immortal American systems engineer, where "gg" follows his wife (Mia), and then also follows the child (Rose), not seeing anyone at all, in front of him and behind himself. I mean that he kills those who were not necessary or somehow to avoid murders, he stupidly kills everyone and everything. This is not about creeps (zombies, werewolves, etc.) but about the type of bosses. And in part, he himself, without any help, went into America's hole on his own. Whom that heaps of years ago his wife disappeared, and then boom and she sent him a video. And our hero did not think that this could be a trap or something else, and did not give this video to the police for examination. I went into the hole myself. Isn't he normal? Or, simply because of feelings, he did not begin to attach anyone, such as their family affairs, etc. Okay, these are all predictions, this is just a cutter.
    So now let's move on to the resik itself:
    From a technical point of view, the game's optimization is good, not perfect, but better than Ubisoft games (kill the software). The graphics are great, the beams work fine there without RTX. Textures are WOW, I have not seen such high-quality textures since 2019. Of course, you choose how much the texture memory will be fat. Bugs, yes they are. And in any games they are also there. And during the game I met only 2bags, this is when the werewolf flew and instead of Dimitrescu I was pursued by her dress.
    About the plot: at first ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing is clear, and only from the middle and at the end everything starts to happen. Only now I did not understand one thing, so Ethan died and all this time he was out of mold, or Evelina ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ etc. Although ... At the end, Ethan's hand disappears like the other mold-dicks.
    Bosses: there are 5 of them.
    Miss Giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (Dimitrescu): A woman with a butt larger than Ethan's head. And she has claws like Wolverine.
    Dumb Doll (Beneviento): Just a wacky doll with a minus IQ. Her house is scarier than the whole 8rezik. Of course there is everything because of the golucinations, but damn it is dumb and scary.
    Water moron (??? He only remembered that he was "Scarecrow"):
    Niryaha and a very disgusting character who whines all the time that he is not loved and that instead of Ethan he should have been with her. In principle, we are similar to him (
    Grigory Leps (Van Helsinki or Geisinberg):
    The person who thought that Ethan was going a long way to save his daughter at any cost, would cooperate with him and give him the opportunity to kill Miranda with the help of Rose. And when Ethan rejects his request, he takes offense and wants to kill him.
    Miss deaf ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (Miranda):
    While we were killing her "Children" there, she was sitting there. And that's all.
    There are also secondary bosses, but there is nothing to say about them.
    Conclusion:
    In general, the game is excellent, all those emotions that were in part remained, and even in some moments she simply smokes on the sidelines. It is definitely worth its 2000r, although it costs more on pine trees. I'm like a person who went through all the parts of the rezik starting from 2-3-4-5-6-7 and revelations. The first, alas, is not. I will give the game 8.9 out of 10. Sarah when you go through it through YouTube or from a PC or console, I assure you that you will be afraid of any rustle in the Beneviento house and in the Dimitrescu castle. On YouTube, I think it won't be so scary, but when you play yourself, your emotions will be doubled. But with Kuplinov everything will be fine too.
    I spent 15 hours on the game, 7 of them completing, and the remaining 8 hours I spent on obtaining achievements.
    If I wrote it wrong somewhere, it's because of my handshake or t9 is to blame.

    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.
