    Resident Evil Village offers good fun with solid game time and a few bonus features. The pros here far outweigh the cons. It's just a shame that the action and technical aspects of the game outweighed the horror atmosphere and the story itself.

    Amazing graphics, good story and great maps, I’m really glad Capcom kept the same idea as RE7 because these two games were really good and pretty similar too, I’d love to see a third game to complete the trilogy and even more games like this.

    Such a fun game and a weird turn for the series. I didn't like the Ethan from RE7, but somehow they managed to change my opinion of him by the end of the game. The series has been in worse condition story-wise before, so I'm hopeful they will continue to pleasantly surprise me.

    I played all Resident Evil games so far and I am huge fan of series. I like classic zombies RE1, RE2, RE3 and RE4 but this RE Village it is the best RE game so far. Very good story, nice gunplay, crafting, awesome cutscenes and awesome sound makes this game a perfect masterpiece.

    The part is far from called Resident Evil, almost devoid of horror, and the game has become more action-packed and boss battles are less bad than I expect, so I see this part as less quality in all respects compared to Resident Evil 7

El juego es aire fresco para los fans, con un toque de Resident Evil 4 en el tema de la ambientacion y el contexto pero con un sistema de armas, puzzles y sobre todo jefes que impresiona mucho con jefes interesantes como Donna Beneviento que consistia en buscarla mientras bebes asesinos y un feto de 2 metros de largo te persigue hasta Karl Heisenberg que fue una batalla de jefe muy interesante ya que como en todo Resident Evil todo termina con explosiones agregandole un toque subiendote a un tanque con motosierra, lanzacohetes y una metralleta. no me pueden venir con lo de: " Es que el juego quita el estilo de la saga ya que es mas accion que terror". Desde cuando que un pueblo de personas infectadad te persiga mientras salvas a la hija de el presidente es un juego de terror? y eso lo hace malo? lo que importa de los Resident Evil es la jugabilidad, historia y toques de la saga como los puzzles que lleve, no que sea un juego de terror. El juego tiene una muy buena historia y el final es digno, simplemente un muy buen juego. Ademas que aparecio el gran Chris Redfield... Se puede pedir mas?… Expand

    Charismatic characters,fun gameplay,one of the best re atmospheres and an emotional narrative. The first half is pretty scary,but the second half is action-centred. And thats not bad,it gets the middle point between action and horror,its like 7 and 4 gave birth to this game. Recommended

    I'm not big fan of Resident Evil franchise, but this one is probably the game of year for me. Great story, incredible atmosphere, perfect gameplay, also every boss fight is spectacular, choice of weapons is huge, i really recommend you to play this game, you will enjoy and probably you will play it at least twice.

    This is my very first Resident Evil game, and while I think that it's a pretty fun experience overall, the game itself has some major flaws.
    It mostly suffers from pacing issues, and it feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be, it mixes action and horror in such a bizarre way, but it's not a good action game nor a good horror game either.

    I absolutely adore the Eastern European/Gothic Horror setting with the vampires and the werewolves, it's excellent. Most areas are incredibly detailed, the atmosphere is disturbing, and the buildings look very beautiful.

    I have to say, the gameplay mechanics are better than I expected, the game is fun to play, the guns feel and sound satisfying, and there is a good variety of tools to use.

    Ι found most of the characters to be quite annoying, except from few of them that were lowkey entertaining, the Four Lords are overall intimidating and pretty much the highlight of the game.

    The writing is very amateurish and straight up bad, there aren't any peaks in the story and it's very short, personally it took me around 8 hours to finish it, and I think some areas should have been expanded, especially the castle.

    Lastly, the dialogue is very cheesy and sometimes the game takes itself too seriously for no reason, which hurts the overall tone, specifically in the second half of the story, there are some questionable moments that take away the immersion completely.

    I really appreciate the effort that was put into the game though, the Dimitrescu Castle looks great, there are many areas to explore, the environment looks really nice, the village is cool and there are many things to do in it, decent amount of details here and there, I honestly enjoyed it a lot, it really is a well crafted game after all.

    Final Rating: "Decent" ~ 6/10.    … Expand

    I was sure that I will buy that game cause the last RE was also great. At Black Friday I took the chance for low money and during the Xmas I’ve started playing. And I have to say. YES it’s a great game. Story and topic is a bit different but that’s no problem at all. It makes so much fun the whole story the artwork and immersion is great. 92/100 points

    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.
