    Resident evil: village is my favorite from all resident evil games. A really good quality, the aim assist is perfect. The characters are amazing, with cool and small details. But the handsome one is Heisenberg, i'm in love with him. He is the special one who game made funnier and fiery. But the one minus is Ethans death. He went through a lot but he received actually nothing. I know thatResident evil: village is my favorite from all resident evil games. A really good quality, the aim assist is perfect.

    Resident Evils have been very hit and miss I found throughout the years but RE Village was very good. The game is two different games.

    REV will have you on the edge of your seat without a doubt. This game has some of the most thrilling and unforgettable villains of all time. The gameplay itself isn't perfect, but the creepiness of each level makes it worth your while. A true blockbuster horror video game.

    Although the game has pleasant graphics and some good characters, overall, the story and plot twists are just too unrealistic. It’s too far-fetched, feels more like a Halloween attractions site than a story.

    not so great..this is my second Re game the first was re7 witch was awesome and made me buy re8 but the latest one is a big disappointment.. it's only worth a 4 score because of the beautiful graphics and detail.. the rest is filler!!! This felt more like a tech demo than a game! RE7 bio in vr is the best!!!

    I was sure that I will buy that game cause the last RE was also great. At Black Friday I took the chance for low money and during the Xmas I’ve started playing. And I have to say. YES it’s a great game. Story and topic is a bit different but that’s no problem at all. It makes so much fun the whole story the artwork and immersion is great. 92/100 points

    I'm not big fan of Resident Evil franchise, but this one is probably the game of year for me. Great story, incredible atmosphere, perfect gameplay, also every boss fight is spectacular, choice of weapons is huge, i really recommend you to play this game, you will enjoy and probably you will play it at least twice.

    Resident Evil Village is stupid dumb fun. That's the best way to describe not only this game, but also the entire series.

    It was Alirght and that where ill end that. Story was pretty stupid but these games really shouldn't be taken narratively serious. Fantastic environments and level design. Should have been just about big mommy the whole game, none of the other villains really live up to her.

    Charismatic characters,fun gameplay,one of the best re atmospheres and an emotional narrative. The first half is pretty scary,but the second half is action-centred. And thats not bad,it gets the middle point between action and horror,its like 7 and 4 gave birth to this game. Recommended

Desde cuando que un pueblo de personas infectadad te persiga mientras salvas a la hija de el presidente es un juego de terror? y eso lo hace malo? lo que importa de los Resident Evil es la jugabilidad, historia y toques de la saga como los puzzles que lleve, no que sea un juego de terror.

I absolutely adore the Eastern European - Gothic Horror setting with the Vampires & Werewolves, it's excellent, but unfortunately the game doesn't make it justice, and as you progress the story, it transitions to Steampunk with Cyborgs which doesn't fit very well, it feels out of place. I have to say, the gameplay mechanics are better than I expected, the game is fun to play, but most of the enemies are bullet sponges, even the boss fights, and the game isn't scary at all, it feels more like an action shooter rather than a survival horror game, especially near the end. The characters are not very likeable except from some very few like Heisenberg, Lady Dimitrescu & the Dimitrescu Daughters, the Four Lords are overall intimidating but the game doesn't explore their backstories & doesn't explain their motivations very well, they needed significantly more screentime, because we barely learn anything about them. The writing is very amateurish & straight up bad, there aren't any peaks in the story, it's very short, personally it took me around 7 hours to finish it, and some areas should have been expanded, especially the castle. They could have divided the castle to many sections and the Dimitrescu Daughters needed way more screentime & importance to the plot, Moreau's section was just filler, the ending is very abrupt... it's as if the game was rushed at times. Lastly, the dialogue is very cheesy and sometimes the game doesn't take itself seriously, especially in the second half of the story, there are some facepalm worthy moments which take away the immersion completely. I really appreciate the effort that was put into the game though, the Dimitrescu Castle looks great (it's the best part of the game by far), there are many areas to explore, the environment looks really nice, the village is cool & there are many things you can do in it, decent amount of details here & there, I honestly had a lot of fun playing the game, it really is a very well made game after all.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil Village é uma continuação direta de Resident Evil 7. O jogo tem uma ambientação muito bem feita e uma narrativa bem interessante, apesar de possuir algumas falhas.

    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

    Later a few months I decided to play Re 8, I was not excited to play it. I like Re 8. It’s a good game, but it shouldn’t call Resident Evil it should have another name. The graphics are awesome. The story isn’t so good, but ok. I don’t like the some bosses, they are strange and so big it isn't Resident Evil in my opinion.

    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.

    I played all Resident Evil games so far and I am huge fan of series. I like classic zombies RE1, RE2, RE3 and RE4 but this RE Village it is the best RE game so far. Very good story, nice gunplay, crafting, awesome cutscenes and awesome sound makes this game a perfect masterpiece.

    to me this chapter has made me crazy, and a game really well done. the thing that made me more happy was that they have taken over the environment (or in part) of resident evil 4. good job.The only thing a bit negative is that I lost many hours in figuring out which is the right way to go or in solving some difficult puzzles, but this is the true spirit of resident evil village.

    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.
