    I am about 80% through this game and I love it! Well written, good scares, and the puzzles might be frustrating but I enjoyed the frustration. (The part with the doll)

    Man this game is just great.
    Im not a huge resident evil fan, I have played 7 and the 2nd and 3rd remakes and enjoyed all of them but didn't absaloutely love any of them until this game came out.
    First off the graphics.. probably the second best game ive ever seen just behind the last of us part 2. The village itself is gorgeous, the character models are extremely detailed. The gameplay    Man this game is just great.

    The gameplay is fun and your given time to catch your breath after each combat encounter allowing you to backtrack to check for missed items.
    Overall this game has made me super eager to check out what capcom will do next love it.    … Expand

    Really had a lot of fun playing this game. Best resident evil for me up there next to re4 and I played them all. Loved the characters the story and how enjoyable it is. Will definitely go new game plus and jam the online reverse as well as mercenaries. I think you get a lot in one game with all these features.

    Alors ! J'ai pris mon temps pour le finir et je suis arrivé a 15h de jeux à peu près et je ne suis absolument pas déçu !
    ce RE Village est bel et bien pour moi le digne successeur de RE7 !
    un peu differents dans son gameplay que ce dernier en effets on ce rapproche vraiment de RE4 !
    le jeu offre une rejouabilité vraiment intéressante !

    A true masterpiece that is composed of all the genres used in the saga, classic survival horror from 0 - Code Venorica, action from 4 - 6 and psychological terror from 7. Graphically spectacular, an interesting story and this is the Resident Evil that has more backtracking and exploration.

    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

    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

    I really didn’t like the idea of that story. This is not Resident Evil anymore! It should really be named after something else even the characters . Talking about characters , Chris Redfield doesn’t look and feel nothing like old Chris anymore.

I only have one real gripe with the game. One my series s I had a constant issue with screen tearing though it didn't really bother me I know it would annoy people so just be aware. If I didn't have screen tearing issues this game would be an easy 10 in my book. If this is patched I will come back and give this game a 10.

    Bardzo się zawiodłem na Capcomie. Po latach uznali że w Polsce nawet lokalizacja w postaci polskich napisów jednak się nie przyda co mnie rozwścieczyło zwłaszcza że gra to sequel a część 7 była po Polsku. Nie pozdrawiam capcomu i nie polecam do widzenia.

    I'm new to the RE universe and used to playing games much more difficult and longer (Souls fan). With that said, after watching way to many streamers play this I decided to make the plunge. Overall I'm satisfied and although I wish it were longer for $60 I've spent more taking the family to the movies for two hours of entertainment.

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

Other characters feel like some random questdillers from WoW, I knew nothing about them, I came and killed them, I’ve forgot about them. I played with Russian language, and that was the worst voiceover that I heard, so I decided to replay the game fully on English (easy replay cuz this stupid 70$ game is 8 hours long…)
    But I was surprised that in many scenes acting was SOO bad, so it felt like they hired some first year students from theatre academy to play it. Another point - this game is 8 hours long. I just can’t understand why RDR2, TLOU2 cost same price, but the quality and length differs so much. First part of the game had beautiful cutscenes, but at the end… wtf was that at the end Capcom, u ran out of budget or what?

    And finally, what is this game? A horror? If so, it is not scary, the only one part was scary for me, everything else was so lame so I was yawning the whole time. If not a horror, so what, a shooter? This game had worst gun shot sounds and weirdest animations, and I received no pleasure while shooting. Even at the end. And, I forgot, the main plot twist was so obvious at the beginning, so my final feeling about this game is - disappointment.    … 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.
