    Dark Souls 3 with sniper rifles

    There is no place of medieval things like castles, vampires, gargoyles and dragons in the game that calls itself "biohazard" and centered on artificially cultivated pathogens. The game contains no music, no characters, no graphic. Characters here seems like made of clay. Resident Evil 7 had great music, plot, characters, animations. Even graphic in it is    Dark Souls 3 with sniper rifles

    This chapter is a total ruin of a great plot that was introduced in the best game of all series - RE 7.
    The poster of this game was stolen from Metal Gear (which I totally dislike).    … Expand

    Remember when Resident Evil wasn't just avoiding invincible bosses? Pepperidge farm remembers.

    This game is excellent for its atmosphere, its artistic design and its scenario. But some animations sometimes leave a taste of unfinished job, such as driving the boat which does not take into account physics, or when you insert a key in a door (the key floats without a hand).

The fights are not the attraction of this game neither. They are quite simplistic: you have to shoot several times with a limited amount of ammunition resistant monsters, no bladed weapon other than a knife. So a beautiful game with a great atmosphere but that’s it.… Expand

    Resident Evil Village is such an amzing experience,that provides a lot of survival,horror and saspens elements.The plot is not the strongest part of a game, but i would say it is mediocre, endgame of that story was really unexpected, and theres a lot of plot holes that are connected with Chris Redfields talkativity, and thats really funny, and in some parts that plot holes are real.MyResident Evil Village is such an amzing experience,that provides a lot of survival,horror and saspens elements.The plot is not the strongest part of a game, but i would say it is mediocre, endgame of that story was really unexpected, and theres a lot of plot holes that are connected with Chris Redfields talkativity, and thats really funny, and in some parts that plot holes are real.My favourite part of that game was villians, and they have been presented,especially Heisenberg and Dimesctricu, theyve got the most interesting lore and character.Dono Bennevito and Moreau were also pretty spooky, Benevittos house was very uncombortable to investigate it,the spookiest part of the game appers to be a Baby arrival,and that was really terryfing,that was even more scary than Nemesis from RE3 Remake.The gameplay formula havent changed,it is still good survival shooter,with huge locations like Dimestricus Castle,Main Village and Heisenbergs Factory,also with pretty strange locations like Moreaus mill,and really good horror locations such as Benevittos House.Thats a really good game that finishes the story of Ethan Winters. 8/10… Expand

    This line made my decision on this game:
    "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Capcom seems adamant about changing RE's direction. Ignoring the blockbuster success of RE2, they are far more concerned in making a complete overhaul of the RE lore.

    However, as a completely new type of game. It is phenominal. Deserves praise.
    TI am an old school RE fan from the 90s...and this game is the BEST RE GAME SINCE 4(Actually I like it better).
    It feels like RE and R7 had a baby. The story is well-written.    … Expand

    игра конечно прикольная, но все же не идеально.
    игру я проходил не спеша и прошел за 7 часов.
    при этом я старался внимательно изучать локации и вникнуться в сюжет. Игра стоит 2000 руб(спасибо что не 2500) за просто игру без ничего и за 7 часов геймплея это как то мало. Надеюсь на dlc    игра конечно прикольная, но все же не идеально.

    combines the best part for resident evil 4 and 7 , But unfortunately, it is not the best mix of both worlds. the doesn't have amazing action and satisfying shooting for 4 and 7 and loses a lot of Steam middle of the game .


    I would say the good game you should try it if you expected something great like 4 and 7 , is not it

    Probably the best game I've ever played. The storyline was amazing. The fact it circled back to previous events in THIS game as well as events in RE7 made it even better. It kept me on my toes the whole time, always wondering what was to come. I'm not a crazy fan of horror/scary, but it just worked so well I didn't even notice. It was the perfect blend of scary, action and thriller. IProbably the best game I've ever played. The storyline was amazing.

    Oh, what a let down, another game which puts graphics over gameplay. What was once a fantastic video game series has become a shadow of its former self.

    Liked it didn't love it. Pretty safe and standard survival- horror game, that I feel plays it too safe, it may cater to old RE fans, but at the expense of failing to move the medium forward.

I'm also not a big fan of the one-tone color palette for the majority of the world, Exploring is ok, ultimately is rewarding enough, but feels borrowed from other games, and half- assed, especially the hunting part. The story was fine, minimalistic with a satisfying ending.
    To end, all mechanics in the game is serviceable, but nothing surprises, or feels "next gen". This game just feels old, is the best way I can describe it. It's fine, but could've and should've been better.    … Expand

    Only reason this isnt a 10 for me is because some of the gun play was a little clunky.

    Other than that, I loved every minute of this game. The part of the game that kind of feels like P.T. (if you know, you know) was one of the most (fun?) terrifying moments of game play that ive seen in years, and it takes a lot for me to audibly yell, "OHHHH NOOOO IM OUT!"

    Resident Evil Village é sinônimo de trabalho muito bem feito e com muita competência da equipe responsável. Gráficos: Posso dizer que a RE Engine evoluiu bastante nesse game.

    Jogabilidade: A Capcom conseguiu trazer a nostalgia do nosso saudoso RE4 com alguns elementos clássicos como a maleta. Basicamente a jogabilidade é a fusão do RE7 com RE4. Gostei bastante. História: Dessa vez a Capcom conseguiu fazer um Resident Evil que não é apenas um jogo de Tiro a ponto de parecer um “Call of Duty de Armas Biológicas” mas trouxe uma história muito misteriosa e macabra podemos assim dizer. (Me lembrou Sillent Hill em alguns momentos) Gostei demais ! Espero que a Capcom continue evoluindo a qualidade da Saga e não faça downgrades como o RE3 Remake. Acho que o Village foi a prova que eles tem capacidade de fazer jogos muitos competentes para concorrer o GOTY. Parabéns Capcom.    … 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.
