    Resident Evil Village é um dos melhores jogos da série.

Apesar de observar várias críticas e comentários negativos sobre o jogo, tive uma percepção positiva e muito bem vinda das decisões artísticas e criativas do título. Design incrível das criaturas mutantes e vilões, que usa como referência mitos e lendas, para criar um atmosfera sombria e inteligente, sem precisar apelar para infecções zumbis, já tanto utilizadas e ao meu ponto de vista, saturadas ao longo do tempo. O desafio de um desenvolvedor é lançar algo novo em um universo de mais de 20 anos, e ao meu ver, as escolhas feitas foram precisas. Jogo Resident Evil desde seus primórdios, e admito que a série cometeu erros ao longo do tempo, tentando encontrar o seu tom com o mercado de games mudando o tempo todo. E acredito que o equilíbrio entre seus sucessos foi bem executado com Village. Gráficos incríveis, apesar de ainda não utilizarem do potencial da nova geração, resolvem bem a atmosfera do jogo, sombria e misteriosa. Trilha sonora continua marcante, e duração satisfatória no tempo do jogo, o que era uma crítica constante nos jogos anteriores.  Se você curte a série, e se mantém aberto a mudanças sem apego a deralhes como câmeras fixas e cidades abarrotadas de zumbis, dê uma chance para Ethan, Chris e toda a aventura que Resident Evil Village pode proporcionar.… Expand

    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. Ponto mais forte do game nos gráficos e modelagem na minha opinião é o Castelo Dimitrescu onde cada centímetro foi feito com muito detalhes ! Obs. Vegetação ainda é um ponto fraco na engine. Não parece nova geração.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.

Não parece nova geração. Mas não deixa de ser bom.

    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

    Capcom constantly feel the need to up the action and as such this game feels neutered compared to RE7. Not scary at all and no tension which are a real shame. Very similar to RE4 and despite some interesting new characters overall the game is disappointing.

    Bravo! Capcom hits its stride with RE Village. With both 7 and 8, Capcom has absolutely managed to capture the feeling of the older, classic games. This has horror and action elements, and it is practically a love letter to RE4, one of the greatest entries in the series. After a disastrous game with RE6, Capcom has completely righted the ship with 7,8 and the two remakes. Being a fan ofBravo! Capcom hits its stride with RE Village.

    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.

One of the best Re ever released, Ethan is much more charismatic and with personality here, the places like the castle, dollhouse, village, factory etc ... are all very beautiful and with minimal dethales, a much greater variation of enemies that the predecessor game and with interesting villains but that could have been better explored, I think the game has sinned over time and could be bigger to further explore the characters.… Expand

    Capcom did a very good job with the new characters. Come on, who doesn't love Lady D, Duke or the sadistic Heisenberg?

    The only reason I don't give a 10 is that I think they can do even better and hopefully RE 4 Remake can achieve that! Can't wait!

Having played hours on my PS5 I think of it as an homage to the 25 years since the birth of the franchise, since it's clearly got influences from many games in the series, especially RE7 and RE4. ----------
    Location and world: 10/10
    A Romanian village is your main hub that connects all the areas of the semi open world and it really shines. As a person that lives in the Balkans, it really looks not only beautiful, but also veeery truthful to the location it's set in. Now, there are many locations spreading outwards from the villages, such as the Castle and the Factory, each one with its own antagonists and with a very different tone overall. This, along with the loads of enemy types (compared to the RE7's much less enemies) makes the game much more interesting to play. I've heard that many people would probably buy it just for Lady Alcina Dimitrescu which only appears in a fraction of the whole game. Admittedly, when I first heard I was kinda disappointed, but, trust me, you will not get bored and you will see much more! ----------
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Gameplay wise, RE8 uses a first person camera which I prefer to the third person view of RE2 just because it definitely increases the immersion. It is more action packed at some points, with guns and ammo, requiring nice utilisation and more horror packed with less guns and more scares at some other points. -----------
    Story: 9/10
    The story is interesting once again with Ethan being the protagonist. Nothing extraordinary, yet likeable enough for you to get into the game and immerse yourself. I am not going to get into it, not to spoil that much for you, but I will tell you, it has its nice plot points and set of characters. It's simple like that of RE7, compared to RE6 which I think it was a bit crowded and too much was happening. The main story lasts 9-13 hours depending on your gameplay type, which is just a bit more than that of RE7, but it's replayability is even better, thanks to the many unlockables and the classic Mercenaries mode which is fun and action-packed. I could see myself playing 40+ hours before starting to feel bored of the game, which is very nice. ----------
    Graphics: 10+/10
    I could easily give it more than 10 points if I could, just because it looks absolutely stunning. Definitely one of the best looking games I've ever played! You can clearly see the care the developers have put into making it as photorealistic as possible, even on old-gen consoles, probably thanks to the best use of RE Engine to date. You can see simple details other games don't even bother have, like tile textures etc. I am really impressed by Capcom on this achievement! ----------
    My verdict: 9.6/10---->10/10
    Did you like RE7? You will probably like most of this one too. Did you like RE4? You will probably love this too. Are you a Resident Evil fan? This is a must have! This game is a very nice blend of Action and Survival Horror, which, in my opinion, even with its minor pacing issues is still a nice addition to your collection, especially with the Next Gen consoles having very few titles.
    P. S. Since RE8 is a sequel to RE7, make sure you have played the latter first!    … 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.
