    This game is so much more than i ever expected it to be. It's way longer than i expected it to be. I think some people don't understand that resident evil games have always been 5 to 16 hours, if you take your time it can be 20, but it's somewhere around there. Solid work by Capcom.

    It's a good game, but not great value. I would wait for a sale unless you have absolutely nothing to play.

    At this point i seriously fail to understand why some people still try to hate on it. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not saying you can't say that you hate certain game, of course you can. But what's the point honestly? It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years. RE Village is most obviousAt this point i seriously fail to understand why some people still try to hate on it. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not saying you can't say that you hate certain game, of course you can. But what's the point honestly? It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years. RE Village is most obvious inspiration from RE4 and everyone already knows that RE4 Remake will be next RE game. That's what Resident Evil is and will be until at least 2023. Deal with it. That's what this series is and most people seem to absolutely love it. It's crazy how good reviews it gets on steam. But to be completely fair, if you don't like Resident Evil 4, i don't like you anyway. Would recommend Village to anyone (even people who are new to RE series) who wants to have fun, lots of boss battles, great graphics and weapon upgrades. People who say it doesn't have horror at all are simply lying. Or maybe their definition of horror is just hiding in the corner. That's something i call pathetic, not horror, but to each their own. I would also recommend playing Resident Evil 4 after RE Village, it's truly absolute masterpiece and best game in whole RE series.… Expand

    Resident Evil Village é incrível, o jogo traz uma variedade enorme de inimigos, os cenários e ambientação lindíssima, além de ter ótimos personagens. O jogo é extremamente recomendável se vc gosta de Resident Evil ou de um ótimo jogo de terror.

    RE8 reminds me nothing of the old games but the graphics are drop dead gorgeous, the gun play is perfect, the game gives you goosebumps because its scary at times. The story is ridiculous & sucks & Ethan Winters is so lame. I had a good time with the game and beat it in about 30 hours.

    It's a solid game. Though you can really tell that they turned down the horror and scary elements in this game to appeal to a larger group of people. I don't play many horror games ( cause honestly I scare easily in games, but i like it! ) but in re8 i was rarely as scared as I thought I would be. Even so some parts were pretty scary and overall it is a great game to play.

    Resident Evil Village is a great game for the following reasons:

    1. The mystery is very intriguing. As I finished RE 7: Biohazard, I had a lot of unanswered questions about Ethan Winters and many of them were answered during this game (I'm not going into spoilers). 2. Gameplay - I really liked the transition from almost exclusive horror genre (in RE 7) to action-horror, while    Resident Evil Village is a great game for the following reasons:

    I had a lot of unanswered questions about Ethan Winters and many of them were answered during this game (I'm not going into spoilers).
    2. Gameplay - I really liked the transition from almost exclusive horror genre (in RE 7) to action-horror, while maintaining the first person perspective.
    The action mechanics are somewhat simplistic but the game compensates with lots of difficult situations that will force the player to be sharp or survive with no ammo. The game also includes many puzzles and some very interesting bosses arcs, that are delivered with great story and atmosphere in addition to the fight itself.
    3. Characters - I find Ethan Winters as a very good and relatable protagonist because he is a normal guy (mostly...) , and throughout the game he has to deal with some very disturbing and dark moments in order to save his child. As we progress we see how he is affected by the events until the ending.
    The four lords are very interesting although you don't get a lot of interaction with them. However, It is amazing how reading the lore in the game succeed to expand your understanding their narrative.
    The main antagonist added new depth to the lore of the series.    … Expand

    This game was truly a Next Gen game for the PS5 especially with the hepatic feedbacks and the adaptive triggers!

The game gets wrapped up in such a beautiful way and keeps your face glued to the screen and wanting to play the next one. It has reminisces from past resident evil games as well, but of course it’s a continuation of 7. I can’t wait for 9! Twists and turns every corner!… Expand

    Resident Evil Village is an incredibile videogame. It gives the feeling of the old same Resident Evil while giving it a new twist. The story telling is great, I find it less "trashy" than the older ones (like u won't see Chris punching a giant rock) and all that happens to Ethan is explained. The game is super diverse in each area and has a lot of different type of gameplay. It is reallyResident Evil Village is an incredibile videogame.

    After a long time that many failed and dissapointing games have come for PS5 since its lunch, Except Demon's Souls , Resident Evil 8 made my weekend the greatest. Scary Enough, Action enough and Definitely a great story that has made me not to turn my PS5 for more than 10hours.

    Not better than 7, but still a great game. The story started off as a cliche, but it had some great twists so I could enjoy that. Overall not very scary, but this game had amazing, memorable boss fights. Well-made survival horror game.

    Bit about me before i talk about the game:
    I'm 41 years old. And i have played the first resident evil game back in 1995. And played every single one to date.
    Overview: I wasn't expecting much after playing RE7. Though, RE7 game was decent. just felt like this was like a Texas Chainsaw Massacre game. and seeing Chris Redfield at the end of the game. I was like...why?? RE Village    Bit about me before i talk about the game:

    RE Village is superb. brings back twists and atmosphere. the story is decent and the graphics are great. I really began to like Ethan as a character in this game more. there are jumps in the game.
    the game is short. took me about 10 hours to complete. But that's not doing a 100% on the first playthrough.

    If your ok with that. Then check it out.

    I'm really looking forward now for the next one.    … 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.
