    RE Village has awesome graphics, great sound design, a pretty good story and fantastic production value, but RE's game-play has never felt more barebones, it's puzzles simplistic and its horror elements diluted. If you enjoy movie games, this game is great. But If you prefer game-play oriented games, I would not recommend RE Village.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved this game, absolute thrill from start to finish. I had no love for Ethan going into this but by the end I felt sad for him. The only part of the game that stopped me giving this higher was the factory part. It felt too Wolfenstien for me, I hated the drill hands and propeller face. But overall the story was captivating and I enjoyed it, the final act was brilliant. Well done capcom.… Expand

    Extremely fun, thought it sorta missed on certain parts, especially heisenberges section and moreou, but extremely good for the first two sections, I'd give it more like a 9.3

    Better then both re4 and re7! Best get in the series thus far. Ties into re7 perfectly but you don't ha e to play re7 if you don't want. There are a few hiccups with the game but you won't notice. Replay + is awesome!

    bon jeux pour moi, avec une très bonne première partie mais comme sont prédécesseur avant lui s'essouffle sur la deuxième partie. l'horreur et à mon goût pas assez présent dans ce jeux, malgré quelques bonne idée part moment.

    I enjoyed the first half of the game the second half was a major disappointment but here is the problem it isn't a resident evil game I would of give it a higher score if it was a new IP it seems to play more on fantasy than horror go play resident evil 2 remake if you want a true resident evil experience

    Possibly the best RE title of all time and that's coming from an AVID RE4 player. If you are on the fence about getting this my advice would be.... BUY THIS GAME

    Ablsolutly brilliant finished the game in about 10 hours on standart difficulty. Graphics are beautiful on ps5, story telling couldn't of been better, same as the gunplay mechanics. Very emersive especially with a good pair of head phones and the adaptive triggers. 100% woryh the money. Therefore im giving this a 101 out of 10 it deserves.

    No doubt, this entry of the game is an absolute masterpiece with a lot of respect to the fan's favorite Resident Evil 4.

    Great graphics, (I played on Xbox Series S and was totally astounded by the graphics the game can provide on such an affordable console while providing stable 60 FPS!), the story is great, and, most importantly, the length of the game done just right.

    As a perfectionist, I beat the games after 12 hours, (which is far more considering that the usual beat time is around 9 hours), but I truly enjoyed discovering every single piece of each location and to find all the sectors possible – that's what good game is supposed to do to you.

    Resident Evil 7 was a great game too, but Village plays and feels like a much more serious AAA title with a great open-world, which 7th lacked.

    So fat the best game of 2021 and one of the best RE entries so far. 10/10.    … Expand

The gameplay is excellent overall, the soundtrack puts you in a really suspense mood and the story is very resident evil with all their wackiness. A really fun game.

But the atmosphere of this game is great, the ties and easter eggs to other resident evil games and horror movies in general are really fun. Better than 7 but it sins of not being very original specially when compare with RE4. GOTY 2021 contender… Expand

    Hands down one of the absolute best RE games ever made! Though I personally prefer 7’s pacing, story, and VR support this is just as fun and memorable.

The story is also kind of stupid but if you can get past that you will love this game. I’m on my 4th run and still having a blast with it and finding little secrets for RE fans tucked away. I would like to see 9 have a bit more horror sections but overall bravo to Capcom for making a masterpiece back to back with the last two games.… Expand

    Resident Evil Village is let down by it's last quarter by immense magnitude. All atmosphere is blown away for badly paced action and horrible boss fights. Unfortunately, the end sticks with you thus lowering the overall good experience.

    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.
