    Resident Evil Village is excellent during the beginning and middle but then becomes mediocre towards the end. The concept of the village and fleeing to survive was thrilling and I enjoyed the castle chapter however the game lost its spark from the factory onwards. It was a great idea to work in crafting, but it didn’t feel satisfying. Overall a good game.

    I just love the new RE concept introduced in RE7 - and this one just takes it to another level. It is better than RE7 in almost every aspect. It is not as scary as the previous one (it has only one freaky episode with the doll master boss) but much more action-oriented, which is super cool — no need to count every bullet now, you can simply fight your way through the lycans.

    This game is awesome. Graphics and atmosphere is very good. The story is very strong and answered too many questions. The gameplay is too good for a horror game.

    okay game, with a meh ending and an extremely disappointing post game

    Mercenaries is 3 linear levels that you play through once and it just ends
    I would have been pissed if I payed for it, glad I got it from a friend's family share

Os Winters estão no jogo, o que é bom, para ter um melhor entendimento daquele horroroso jogo chamado "Resident Evil 7", a trama do jogo é melhor entendida com o desenrolar da mesma, sem precisar de DLCs para um melhor entendimento como aconteceu no anterior (coisa mais estupida), aí ganha um ponto. Os inimigos mais descartáveis que já vi em um jogo de Survival Horror, que nada tem haver com o conceito da franquia em si, nota zero aí. Ambientação, é o quesito mais forte do jogo, tudo é bem feito e construído, encaixado com a trama de forma satisfatória. Puzzles, até que tem bastante, mas muito fáceis pra mim, não precisei quebrar a cabeça com eles; poderiam ter sido desafiadores pra compensar um pouco as outras cagadas no jogo. A trilha sonora é interessante. Enfim, dou nota 4,0/10 no geral. Mas ainda sim, bem melhor que o jogo anterior. Obs: Ainda sou da opinião que a Capcom deveria acabar de vez com a franquia, pois eles estão sem ideias e cagando pra ela, isso já está mais do que notado. Praticamente estão fazendo dinheiro com o nome "Resident Evil" e só, que foi de uma franquia notória dentro do cenário Survival Horror para ser a franquia mais incompreensível. Lamentável mas é a realidade.… Expand

    Beginning & first area 10/10, second area 9/10, rest of the game 8/10. Yeah they probably did a few extra steps for the big tiddie vampire dominatrix lady, but its a very solid game nonetheless. Very recommended and 4K 60fps with raytracing on PS5 is nice as well.

    One of the best RE games out there....
    Pros
    1. Extremely well optimised for Next-gen
    2. Boss battles are an adrenaline rush
    3. Village setting is extremely creepy and unsettling
    4. More combat focussed than RE7: biohazard

    Cons
    Only being that it was not as scary as RE7....

    Overall.....a masterpiece

    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

    Resident Evil Village takes whats great about RE4 and repackages it into a current gen experience. A few players will be turned off with the almost RE3 feel of the introductory chapter, but after continuing with the story they will meet balanced game play featuring horror, action, RPG-elements and more.

    Sure, alot of new players to the franchise will not feel as at home as I were, but Im a firm believer the absolute majority of players will find this game to be one to remember. By all means not perfect, but a bloody good time - pun intended.    … 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.
