    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can call me a miserable, an immature whiner, but the game would be much better for me if it had a different ending, because i'm not a huge fan of the "bittersweet" ones. Besides, Ethan Winters was my absolute favourite character since his debut in 2017. You know the feeling you get when you realize that something or somebody you're so attached to is now gone forever. It hurts me so much and I still can't get over it. Just bring Ethan back for one more time as a side character, Capcom, I'm begging you! Seriously, even though he's just a fictional character and, according to a game plot, was not even a human being for like his last three years, he DESERVES the better treatment from both players/fans and developers.
    Aside from that, RE Village seemed to me running short on content, despite the fact that it has the longer campaign (than RE7), some good replayability + the mercenaries mode. The game's amount of plot and lore wasn't enough for me. Still waiting for a sequel though.
    And about the gameplay. It's a pretty good amalgam of RE7 and RE4 gameplay mechanics, but the whole merchant system still bothers me. It encourages you to confront and even pursue your enemies rather than run away from them and save your supplies. Imo, it's fun to play, but it doesn't really match the original survival horror concept. The Chris' part/gameplay doesn't include the merchant at all but it's even more "actiony" instead.
    I also have complaints about the game optimization (PC/Steam version). No matter how low I set the graphics quality, the game still suffers from significant frame drops, especially when I encouter one of the Dimitrescu daughters or get close to a group of lycans. Even 30fps lock doesn't always save the day. MAYBE my PC is the problem but i'm not quite sure.

    I think it's worth to play. But try not to take it all too much to heart like I did.    … Expand

    Als Resident Evil Fan der ersten Stunde investierte ich über die Jahr(zehnt)e gewiss hunderte von Stunden in den legendären ersten, den würdig fortgesetzten zweiten, den neue Standards setzenden vierten, den kooperativ spielbaren fünften und nicht zuletzt in den gänzlich neue Wege beschreitenden siebten Teil. Und dann, gefühlt über Nacht, kursieren Ankündigungen über die recht zeitnaheAls Resident Evil Fan der ersten Stunde investierte ich über die Jahr(zehnt)e gewiss hunderte von Stunden in den legendären ersten, den würdig fortgesetzten zweiten, den neue Standards setzenden vierten, den kooperativ spielbaren fünften und nicht zuletzt in den gänzlich neue Wege beschreitenden siebten Teil. Und dann, gefühlt über Nacht, kursieren Ankündigungen über die recht zeitnahe Veröffentlichung eines neuen, nunmehr achten Teils im Netz. Gestern habe ich ihn durchgespielt. Ein Erfahrungsbericht. Spoilers ahead!
    Resident Evil 8 ist der Triple-A-Titel, der Teil 6 gerne gewesen wäre: Opulent, abwechslungsreich, für Serienverhältnisse brilliant geschrieben und unterm Strich auch eine Art „Best Of“ der Serie: Wie schon in RE1 sorgt ein altes, verlassenes Herrenhaus für die schlichtweg gruseligste Stunde des ganzen Spiels; wie schon in RE3 gibt es einen bestimmten Antagonisten, der den Spieler unbarmherzig durch ein (kleines) Areal verfolgt; aus RE4 stammen das Inventarsystem sowie das titelgebende, umwerfend desperate Dorf, welches ohne Untertreibung eines der Highlights des Spiels ist; und von RE7 entliehen die Entwickler neben der Ego-Perspektive (von allen sonstigen Features, die das Spiel ausmachen) ausgerechnet den Hang zu exzessiven Gewaltspitzen.
    Diese werden gegen Ende des Spiels sogar vage begründet, wirken aber weniger stimmig als im Vorbild, welches die Baker-Familie ja bewusst mit Backwood-Slasher-Tropen inszenierte. Außerdem fügt sich der „Gewalt“-Aspekt nicht so gut in den ansonsten auf Zugänglichkeit und, ja, Gefälligkeit getrimmten Titel ein. Dabei ist es gar nicht schlimm, dass RE8 den Geschmack möglichst vieler Spielergruppen treffen will – das gelingt ihm nämlich furios, und in einer Hinsicht sogar erstmals überhaupt in der gesamten Serie: RE8 nämlich wartet mit einem Ende auf, das den Namen auch verdient! Endlich hat Capcom das bewährte Nummer-sicher-Schema verlassen, welches da lautete: „Der letzte Spielabschnitt spielt in einem unterirdischen Labor, wo nach einigen Rätseln der Kampf gegen den letzten Boss in mehreren Phasen ausgetragen wird, deren letzte nur mittels deus-ex-machina-mäßig angeeigneter Superwaffe gewonnen werden kann. Danach kurze Dialog-Sequenz; Ritt in den Sonnenuntergang; Abspann“. So kennen und lieben wir unser RE – dachten wir. Denn nach dem Sieg über den letzten der 4 Hauptbosse (ja, ab da setze ich das Ende an) nimmt die Erzählung sogar noch zusätzlich Fahrt auf: Schauplätze, Protagonisten und Pacing wechseln immer wieder; die Dramaturgie fährt Achterbahn (haha, 8) und nach einer weiteren verschwitzten Stunde zaubert uns die eigentliche Endsequenz mit so viel Verheißung die „things yet to come“ entgegen, dass wir verzückt grinsend ins Sofa sinken.
    RE 8 macht einfach alles richtig, und trotzdem war die Begeisterung durch etwas getrübt, was ich lange gar nicht greifen konnte. Mittlerweile weiß ich: Was da stets beim Spielen mitschwang, war viel Nostalgie und ein wenig Wehmut; Wehmut ob der Erkenntnis, dass das RE-Universum nun eigentlich auserzählt ist: Mit der stimmigen Implementierung von westlichen Folklore-Sujets (Vampire, Werwölfe, Ritterburgen) sowie der Offenlegung der wahren Ursprünge der Umbrella Corporation bleibt für weitere Erzählungen nur noch mehr vom Gleichen; so meine Befürchtung. Auch wenn der neunte Teil genau dort weitermachen sollte, wo der achte endet – es wäre, wie schon im großartigen Teil 5 (welcher selbst nur dank der Szene im unterirdischen Garten gerade noch so die Fankurve kriegt), eine andere RE-Welt.
    Der düster-romantischen Grundstimmung von RE8 ist zu verdanken, dass diese Best-Of-Achterbahnfahrt solch herrlich nostalgische Wehmut hervorruft. Selbst der neue Händler kokettiert offen mit einem Bezug zum vierten Teil der Serie; und all dies funktioniert, weil es eben nicht „Star Wars Episode 7“-mäßig einfach neu etkettiert, sondern intelligent verwoben und noch ein (letztes?) mal weitergedacht wird. Fans, die – wie ich – seinerzeit der verworfenen ersten Fassung des vierten Teils hinterhertrauerten, dürften das ein oder andere Tränchen der Rührung vergossen haben, als sie das Schloss der Gräfin bis in den letzten Winkel erkundeten. Und auch der obligatorische „industrielle“ Abschnitt eines jeden RE-Teils erwischte mich kalt: Wähnte ich mich anfangs noch wohlwollend selbstsicher, änderte sich das mit jedem weiteren erkundeten Bereich. Nur so viel: Die Fabrik des Herren Heisenberg entpuppt sich als kafkaesker Fiebertraum einer Liason der Deadspace- und Matrix-Designer.
    Ich bin RE8 für vieles dankbar; hauptsächlich aber für den famosen Fan-Service (Umbrella Origins – YES!), das furiose, wendungsreiche Endgame und nicht zuletzt die fantastische, unglaublich schaurige und zum Glück am hellichten Tag gespielte „Beneviento“-Episode.
    Was?
    Wie die Technik und das Gameplay so sind? Jaja, top. Und jetzt geht spielen!    … Expand

    -Gorgeous graphics
    -Great controls with a low default sensitivity add to tension. -Interesting story
    -Inventory Management
    -The Duke
    -Plenty of extras to unlock adding replay-ability to the game. Cons:
    -Lack of focus on horror and tension, it was there but not in a satisfactory amount. -Puzzles were overly simple.

Седьмая часть «Обители зла» вновь перезапустила франшизу, вернув её с небес на землю.

    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.
