    I really loved this game, it's actually the best RE game since 4 imo. 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. My only complain is the AI for the enemies is not that great, enemies are from one zone only and if you change that zone they just turn around and leave youI really loved this game, it's actually the best RE game since 4 imo.

My only complain is the AI for the enemies is not that great, enemies are from one zone only and if you change that zone they just turn around and leave you alone. A little weird to be honest. 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

    I've just finished the story and I can only say one thing. Must have game with amazing atmosphere, characters and story. Probably the first resident evil I'm gonna replay again. I loved Biohazard, but I think Village is a piece of art delivered to us by Capcom

I think the simpler the story is in a RE game, the better it is. Is it scary ? Well, there is one moment that is sooo scary, i almost wondered if could play it, but overall, not that much. I understand why, the dev team wanted to do an experience that was closer to action than horror compared to RE 7. I don't think they failed in the scares department if their goals was to make this game a bit less scary. Am i disapointed by this ? A bit. I love a scary resident evil like 1 and 2 but i also don't think more action based RE are bad. So, I gave this game a 9 because i think it's a nice continuation of RE 7 and like I said, there is nothing objectively bad in this game. The rest will be about your own personal preferences.… Expand

    Seriously amazing game. As much as I liked 7, this game just felt like it was taken to the next level. While not a perfect game. I enjoyed it immensely. felt very close to a spiritual successor to RE4 (with a couple of call backs of course). Highly recommended.

    People are complaining about 2 things mostly :
    - Lack of Zombies! (Indeed, I can confirm, this RE is on a different theme so far...)
    - Game is not scary (Well that's a different kind of scare so far, indeed, I don't feel like **** my pants in horror but I do feel the tension, my heart is pounding at times, not scared but pumped up!)

    So all in all, yeah it feels sort of different from the classic RE games so far but I'm really having a blast!
    I do share the toughts about the game feeling polished, been crafted with care for details.

    I also read a lot about this being a sort of mix between RE4 and RE7, that's a pretty accurate perception.

    Killing stuff so far seems "Just right".
    Monsters (or whatever you wanna call them) takes the right ammount of damage before diying and they are smart enough to put up a challengeing fight without feeling unfair.

    It's nice seeing a PS5 title being playable and mostly fluid with ray tracing ENABLED and looking great!

    I only played about 2h so far playing it slow paced trying to see/find everything the game has to offer and enjoying it to the max!

    Easy 9/10 so far and I'm not rating it 10 cause I'm keeping myself a margin of error but if it keeps up, I might correct it for a 10 by the end of my playthrough.    … Expand

    This game takes bits of every past resi evil game and combines them together. Here you have Ethan from RE7 returning to continue the story in Europe. The games setting appears to be close to the setting in RE4, where it plays out in the forest with castles and beasts etc.

    The gameplay is fairly solid, you move faster than you did in RE7, and the inventory system is more forgiving.    This game takes bits of every past resi evil game and combines them together.

    There are levels where the game is scary, then there are more action packed levels towards the end. The game kind of loses its steam towards the end though.

    + Good gameplay
    + Good Graphics

    - Ethan's voice sounds like a member of a boy band, some of the lines sound real bad. When he tries to talk tough to the bosses it sounds hilarious, it just doesn't match the fact that Ethan still shakes in fear when an enemy is nearby, especially since going through military training and having the mold still exist inside him for healing properties.

    - There is a lack of good guy character interaction, throughout the game, you see Chris maybe 3 times, but don't really talk to anyone else, except the shop keeper or rival bosses.
    -Some low barriers that are impassable.

    Apart from these complaints, I think the game is a solid entry.    … Expand

    Later a few months I decided to play Re 8, I was not excited to play it. I like Re 8. It’s a good game, but it shouldn’t call Resident Evil it should have another name. The graphics are awesome. The story isn’t so good, but ok. I don’t like the some bosses, they are strange and so big it isn't Resident Evil in my opinion.

It would've been perfect if they made the trophy such that you need to finish every map once if they wanted you to go through everything.
    Anyway since most of the players will likely just play the story mode most of the time, that part is excellent. I would've liked a more tense atmosphere to be honest, like the Baker house, but what we got is definitely not bad. Definitely recommend this game and I'm glad I've got it.    … Expand

    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.

    I love the RE Franchise but sometimes I found that the games were lacking for my personal liking. With RE:Village I wanted to dig back in at it and give it a try. The game does things very different but often for the better. It has a good variety between action and horror in my opinion and the set of enemies and weapons gets you going pretty well.

Overall this game is to me a 8.5 moving up to the 9 because of personal tendency.

    I ve been playing the game on my PS5 with no issues so far. I didnt feel any fps drops (playing with RT off). The games looks beautiful although some textures lack a bit of detail. Generally the engine provides a very atmospheric result in both outdoor and indoor parts for action and horror bothways which is quite impressing. Starting with RE2:Remake the sound design improved drastically and I feel this continued with RE:Village. If you can use headphones or a decent surround system this game is absolutely amazing with the depths it can provide.

    The game mechanics itself are well known. I feel the inventory and save system went for the better. Overall the weapon and upgrade system seem fair and provide good content over time. I find the game lacks a bit when it comes to boss fights. They feel very innovative yet they are very dull and bullet spongey. There is not much skill applied most of the time and feels a bit grindy. Yet the boss designs are fantastic with great variety which I honestly enjoyed a lot although it might feel a bit drifting away from the RE main core.

    With all difficulties, weapons, mercenary mode and challenge the game provides at least 8-12 hours of straight story gameplay and probably around 20 to 35hrs for completionist which justifies the launch price for fans otherwise I suggest to wait for a discount of 10-20% for a better deal. I definitely do recommend the game it feels very different if you actually play it instead of watching videos or streamers. It is really enjoyable and for a surprising touch the story isnt too bad either.    … Expand

    Just one more good game in RE Universe. If you played RE2/RE3 remake or RE7 you know what it's all about - there are no big changes. Two minor but important changes: more humor and more action. As for me I'd better give more time for Dimitrescu castle as it's probably the best part of the game but diversity is good as well.

    Only reason this isnt a 10 for me is because some of the gun play was a little clunky.

    Other than that, I loved every minute of this game. The part of the game that kind of feels like P.T. (if you know, you know) was one of the most (fun?) terrifying moments of game play that ive seen in years, and it takes a lot for me to audibly yell, "OHHHH NOOOO IM OUT!"

    Resident Evil Village is a perfect successor to Biohazard in every possible way. From the beginning you’re thrown into a wonderfully haunted environment with inspirations of classic horror stories like Dracula and Frankenstein, which is a much more charming approach than a rotted house in the south. Rather than gross mold monsters, you’re faced with lycans and vampires amongst otherResident Evil Village is a perfect successor to Biohazard in every possible way. From the beginning you’re thrown into a wonderfully haunted environment with inspirations of classic horror stories like Dracula and Frankenstein, which is a much more charming approach than a rotted house in the south. Rather than gross mold monsters, you’re faced with lycans and vampires amongst other classic horror enemies as you explore a much more open area that is the village and its surrounding areas. The greatest stride this game made over the previous was characterization. Not only is more depth added for Ethan and the cast of good guys, but all the villains feel much more meaningful than the Baker family. You find yourself remembering their names, wanting to know their backstories, and always getting excited to see what happens when you find them. Right from the start of the game the plot explodes and you’re completely sucked in to the beautifully designed castle and the villains who wander it, but once you leave the castle the game makes you feel like only then did the game truly begin, and that’s an incredible feeling.
    Every second spent exploring this game is a feeling of curiosity and intrigue, keeping your guard up for any new enemies that may be around a corner they were not in before. While I wish it was possible to backtrack at certain points, I loved always having new places to go and things to do. Even the collectibles are fun to find. The story certainly carries this by giving you new and interesting characters along the way, leading to a conclusion that’s immensely satisfying and makes me excited for what comes next. Simply put this game is a work of art, from wonderfully written plot and dialogue to beautiful imagery and environments, and a level of masterful and suspenseful storytelling that always made me come back excited to play more. Without a doubt this game is a work of near perfection and surpasses its predecessor by giving you a longer, more expansive, and overall more enjoyable journey every step of the way.    … Expand

There is a big map to explore with many hidden things to discover and the combat is really smooth. However, it's slightly less interesting in the second part by my opinion but the first one is fantastic. Highly recommend this game.

I absolutely adore the Eastern European - Gothic Horror setting with the Vampires & Werewolves, it's excellent, but unfortunately the game doesn't make it justice, and as you progress the story, it transitions to Steampunk with Cyborgs which doesn't fit very well, it feels out of place. I have to say, the gameplay mechanics are better than I expected, the game is fun to play, but most of the enemies are bullet sponges, even the boss fights, and the game isn't scary at all, it feels more like an action shooter rather than a survival horror game, especially near the end. The characters are not very likeable except from some very few like Heisenberg, Lady Dimitrescu & the Dimitrescu Daughters, the Four Lords are overall intimidating but the game doesn't explore their backstories & doesn't explain their motivations very well, they needed significantly more screentime, because we barely learn anything about them. The writing is very amateurish & straight up bad, there aren't any peaks in the story, it's very short, personally it took me around 7 hours to finish it, and some areas should have been expanded, especially the castle. They could have divided the castle to many sections and the Dimitrescu Daughters needed way more screentime & importance to the plot, Moreau's section was just filler, the ending is very abrupt... it's as if the game was rushed at times. Lastly, the dialogue is very cheesy and sometimes the game doesn't take itself seriously, especially in the second half of the story, there are some facepalm worthy moments which take away the immersion completely. I really appreciate the effort that was put into the game though, the Dimitrescu Castle looks great (it's the best part of the game by far), there are many areas to explore, the environment looks really nice, the village is cool & there are many things you can do in it, decent amount of details here & there, I honestly had a lot of fun playing the game, it really is a very well made game after all.… Expand

    Nowhere near as good as RE VII, but not a trainwreck like VI. Feels like they tried to mix every RE ever into one game, so in the end they couldn't decide what kind of game it's gonna be. Expect a decent action game with a bit of suspense but almost no horror.

    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.

    The Good Parties
    This game has advanced the Resident Evil series about the universe and story, as Capcom says.
    The story
    I don't know how to tell the game without telling the scenes from the game in general, but in Re7 they connected the story very well, but in this game they connected it 10 times better than the level of that game for a long time.
    it was the best game I have experienced in general, I had a lot of hesitation about the progress of the story, no thicc vampire sister werewolves with advertisements. finished game definitely play this game.
    ⭕Play
    The gameplay is almost perfect in every aspect, the feeling of the hit, the variety of weapons, the variety of bosses and the high number of them, I have cut more than 20 bosses that do not affect the big and small story in general in the game and this gives the right to have that much weapon variety.
    ⭕Graphics and Performance
    I played the game on PlayStation 4 and I passed the fps drop in performance, I even experienced an increase in the 45 fps constant running game went up to 50 fps and this shows that it is an extremely good optimization As someone who likes the story of cyberpunk 2077, the optimization disaster came like a drug because it is a game. And I played extremely comfortably. The graphics push the boundaries compared to the old generation.    … Expand

    As almost every RE game 8 is no different in replayablitity. You unlock the mercs mode after finishing the main game and can buy weapons or infinite munition for challange points which you get after doing certain things ingame like finishing the game with knife only or find every collectible.

Again and again they’ll say new generations of hardware will open up countless new possibilities! Bigger, better worlds, etc. etc. Which one is it? No compromise, or you need the new hardware to reach new heights beyond the same game with better rendering?

    I think the game is far too short. Why are games either too long, or too short? It’s one of those big unsolved mysteries. This was my first experience with adaptive triggers on the PS5, and it really makes a difference! I was pleasantly surprised to find it’s not gimmicky in the slightest. I like how they toned things down slightly since Biohazard- that game had a gross, Texas Chainsaw Massacre kind of vibe that almost made me delete it. If that game really gave you pleasure, please go see a psychologist- you are not well, amigo. There’s being scary, and then there’s being grotesque. A game needs to be fun, not a grueling, painful chore that leaves you feeling like
    you need to take a shower.

    I loved all the characters in The Village, but Ethan Winters is sort of a rube- his voice and some of the things he says are kind of cheesy, like how he calls the sisters a “bunch of crazy witches”. Did they mean to make Ethan like one of their geekiest players or something? Come on, our protagonist must have some balls to go through this rather than curl up and hide in a hole somewhere. I love the zones, and their variety, despite being a little on the small side (like Ethan’s balls). The castle probably looks the best out of them all, which also might be the largest and harkens back to classic RE games. This review is getting too long…

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After 9 hours and 30 minutes and 420 gamerscore, I was done with the latest Resident Evil offshoot. Folks, great for me, I had so much fun with it and even started the game all over again. To classify: so far I have played Resi 2 (8/10) and 3 Remake (7/10) as well as Resi 7 (9/10). For me, Resi 8 has sat on the throne of this series.

    story
    The game is still quite fresh, so I won't write much about the story (including some spoilers), except that I liked the whole process around Ethan Winters, I was very happy with the twists and turns and was sometimes surprised. This cabinet of horror curiosities that you face, the fantasy setting brought a change for me that I found terrific.

    The individual characters do their part, especially Lady Dimetrescu has been shown excellently.

    I just felt it was a shame that it was over a bit quickly with the good lady and her daughters, they were just used for the beginning and I always ran right intuitively, which is why I got through relatively easily. The facial expressions, gestures and dialogues of these vampire ladies were wonderful and I wanted to see more of them.
    But the other members of this gang also had their moments.

    graphic

    The game looked really great. The setting fits me perfectly and it ran smoothly on the Series X. I actually had no noticeable frame rate drops, although sometimes a lot can happen on the screen. The selected landscape, the various facets of the individual areas, create a coherent and well-designed overall picture for me. Every now and then I stopped for the photo mode (unfortunately it wasn't that great, somehow the pictures sometimes looked strange) and marveled at the landscapes or just the inner workings of the houses, the castle, etc.

    There is a lot of love for detail here and one or the other Easter egg can also be found.

    Atmospherically, it was also successful for me, because the horror parts also exude real horror for me, but perhaps could have been a little more.

    Gameplay

    So first of all I have to say that Resident Evil is incredibly varied (horror, Mr. X gameplay, puzzle passages and skill passages, pure action). But I can understand if some e.g. the horror aspect was neglected. To be honest, that was enough for me and after this very specific part of the game I was exhausted.

    That breathed pure horror.

    The start of the game is as crazy as it is ingenious, I just sat with my mouth open in front of the PC and couldn't believe what I was seeing: Werewolf people who ride horses and shoot with a bow and arrow.

    The first half of the game is also very different from the second half and I personally found the gameplay change to be quite successful. Especially after the turn mentioned, the game briefly takes on completely different forms. It is precisely this point that will probably split people's minds (if not a little earlier in the factory).

    Each of the individual opponents gets their moment and all of them are consistently interesting. Just the introduction of all of these was phenomenal.

    We also have the classic Resi weapon game play, which is a bit sluggish, but also wants to be that way. I got along with it, but I probably wouldn't have made it higher than normal. The ammunition in particular is pretty precisely measured towards the end. The inventory was incredibly pleasant and was a significant step up from Resident Evil 7. The dealer was also a lot of fun and the upgrade system was very motivating (I love the revolver, unfortunately I never really had a lot of ammunition for it). The weapons themselves are very well chosen, I have actually tried everything and did not find any weapon to be useless. I also used mines, bombs, firing flour to distract, and so on.

    So the action turned out very well for me and got even better later. In addition, the game offers some intermediate bosses, where you really have to use all means to combat.

    There are also puzzles and smaller mini-games, but they were all pretty easy, I have to admit, and could have been a bit more challenging. The classic texts for reading should of course not be missing and I tried to absorb everything.

    If you play the game through then you have the opportunity to unlock some things for further rounds of the game. There is a mercenary mode in which you simply have to eliminate opponents in a certain amount of time. Not particularly exciting but the bonuses that can be unlocked are worthwhile: There's a damn lightsaber available as a double blade 5/5.

    I only have to criticize the level of difficulty, which was actually suitable for me on normal (also had problems) but the lock was way too easy. Also, some boss fights were a bit boring because they just endured a lot.

    Conclusion

    I have so little to criticize here because I just had too much fun with Resident Evil Village. I can certainly understand when certain decisions by the developers are not considered to be good, but I always had fun. For me 10/10 Mushrooms    … Expand

    Great setting and visuals. The gunplay fells nice, and it's definitely more action oriented than RE7, with ammo being plentiful, making aiming and headshots feeling less essential (on standard difficulty).

    The story is classic Resident Evil, and great if you are into it. The game does suffer a bit of a classic RE issue, where the game does progressively less scary as it goes along, and    Great setting and visuals.

    The story is classic Resident Evil, and great if you are into it. The game does suffer a bit of a classic RE issue, where the game does progressively less scary as it goes along, and you learn the premise of the story, and how challenging each enemy is. Meaning that the game really isn't that scary after the first hour or two (with an exception a section mid game, that i won't spoil).

    One of the greatest achievements of the game is the pacing IMO. You get constant feeling of progression, and are moving from one area to the next with a great pace. You could even say that you aren't getting enough time in each of the great locations, which is a credit to how well each section is crafted. The game never overstays it welcome, which was the case at certain points of RE7.

    Overall a great game, and the best storydriven AAA game of the year so far, and seemingly until the fall.    … Expand

    I will not talk about horror vs action as I don’t consider the genre and view each product in its own isolated capsule. This game was alright for me, I enjoyed it but nothing really special or even impressive. There is no variety in gameplay, not enough mechanics to work with. Just bland and baseline gameplay. Story was meh. Atmosphere was good enough, music not any good. But the graphicsI will not talk about horror vs action as I don’t consider the genre and view each product in its own isolated capsule.

    8/10 , capcom всё так же держат планку выпуская годноту за годнотой . Игра получилась классной , за исключением того , что боссы были очень легкие, припасов было как то овер много, загадок как то было (мне так показалось) меньше чем в предыдущих частях. В принципе игра по моему мнению в некоторых аспектах уступает 7ой части, а в некоторых наоборот превосходит. классная штука что они8/10 , capcom всё так же держат планку выпуская годноту за годнотой .

    Superb game: amazing world design, well narrated story, horror combined with action and exploration elements in a good way. It's been criticized for being too actiony, however, one of sections is the scariest experience I've had in a game.

    At first, I was quite skeptical that this part would be about vampires. But after playing, I can say this is a masterpiece!!! I'm looking forward to the next part.

    I do not like The zombie's tales, but this has a immersive atmosphere and makes you fell a constant tension with puzzles and combats again wolfmen and black criatures. One of the games I have played I like more.

    It's a solid game. I had fun with it. Not better than RE7 but still a good time. My only complaint is that it's not scary enough, the story is contrived, dialogue can be a bit cringeworthy, and some enemies towards the end get way too ridiculous. I love the open world approach. I've read reviews stating that it's a linear game but there's other areas to explore to find hidden treasure andIt's a solid game. I had fun with it. Not better than RE7 but still a good time.

Gameplay is fun and I love the inventory system. The bosses are challenging and all have their own unique traits to fighting them(with the exception of Heisenberg,; cool character, crappy boss fight). The Mother Miranda fight is really cool, too.

    So yeah, I had a good time. It's like Capcom combined RE4 & RE7 together. I hope they bring back more horror elements to the next few game. RE7 was close to perfect and Survival Horror should be at the root of every game in the franchise.    … 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.
