    Although the game has pleasant graphics and some good characters, overall, the story and plot twists are just too unrealistic. It’s too far-fetched, feels more like a Halloween attractions site than a story.

    Haven’t really had a good scare in the game yet. Action is fun and the game looks great. Very weird how they don’t have any button to put away your weapons though. If you bring your knife or gun out, have fun staring at it until a cutscene finally puts it away for you.

    Possibly the best RE title of all time and that's coming from an AVID RE4 player. If you are on the fence about getting this my advice would be.... BUY THIS GAME

    Really clunky combat. Not really scary besides that one section. Horrid writing. Boring artstyle and enemies (barring Heisenberg's part to some degree). Everything is humanoid and feels even less like a bioweapon (but I guess it's not fair to detract from it because of that alone, the previous entries also do this but are good, the point is that the enemies are just boring).

    A great fun game. As a long time fan of the series, this one is very much in line with the campy-action-horror of re4 with some survival elements littered throughout. A fun cast of characters, amazing beautiful scenery, anxiety inducing combat (if you play in hardcore mode,) and truly a game worth playing if that’s your thing.

It starts to get a little strange because instead of having a nice focused story/atmosphere, it just begins to feel very disorganized with the direction they wanted to take the game. The second half of the game is where it falls apart, as Resident Evil games typically do. The direction of the game becomes so disorganized that the quality becomes noticeably worse in every way. The level design feels a lot more uninspired, the attention to detail is gone, and it starts feeling like an action game with mechanics designed for a slower paced horror game. It just doesn’t work and no longer feels anything like a Resident Evil game.

    Resident Evil Village takes whats great about RE4 and repackages it into a current gen experience. A few players will be turned off with the almost RE3 feel of the introductory chapter, but after continuing with the story they will meet balanced game play featuring horror, action, RPG-elements and more.

    Sure, alot of new players to the franchise will not feel as at home as I were, but Im a firm believer the absolute majority of players will find this game to be one to remember. By all means not perfect, but a bloody good time - pun intended.    … Expand

    This game was awesome from the story, atmosphere, how scary it was all the way to the awesome characters. I think this game topped off resident evil 7 in every way , I would even argue that its scarier than 7 , to be honest this game reminded me so much of resident evil 4 , its literally RE4 but first person with some better graphics.

    It is a perfect sequel of RE7, the gameplay is very fun.
    The level design is something of another world, outstanding.
    The village, the castle and all the other places are insane.
    It's not scary as RE7 but the tension while playing is always present.

    The latest in the most iconic series in video game horror continues to deliver.

    At long last the newest installment into the mainline Resident Evil franchise has arrived. Released 4 years after Resident Evil 7 and after 2 remakes it’s back to a brand new story.

    Resident Evil is my second favorite gaming franchise and I absolutely loved Resident Evil 7, so I’m very excited to get a chance to talk about it like this.

    Full disclosure, I was skeptical about buying this so early, I didn’t know if I was in a place where I felt like playing through a Resident Evil right now, while I enjoyed the castle demo that I played, I wasn’t too sold, but I decided to do it anyway because I guess I felt the need. Boy am I glad I did, spoiler alert for the rest of this review, but I am very happy with this game and I had an absolute blast with the 3 days I spent playing it.

    Resident Evil Village take place 3 years after the events of Resident Evil 7, Ethan and Mia now living in Europe with their 6 month old, Rose. You have a cute little intro putting Rose to bed while being able to explore your house and find little callbacks to the previous game (newspaper articles, a Mr.Everywhere figurine etc) and discovering that Ethan and Mia are still haunted by the events of the Baker incident. You’re quickly interrupted by Chris Redfield and some soldiers who shoot Mia, take Rose, knock Ethan out and take you both away. Very soon you wake up and see your transport vehicle was attacked and you make your way to the titular village and he game truly begins.

    This game really spends a while making you wait for something to happen, not in a negative way however, it just builds things up so beautifully that you want something to try to kill you to relieve the tension,you always wonder if those noises are enemies nearby or if it’s jut trying to build up more tension and add to the spooky atmosphere.

    The game looks amazing of course, the Resident Evil engine continues to impress. The main village itself is absolutely beautiful, it’s a fantastic main area filled with snow and locked doors and plenty of secrets to keep coming back to as you progress throughout the story.

    Game-play wise it’s mostly what you can expect if you played Resident Evil 7, aiming and shooting are identical (unless they’re are some intricate details that go over my head) typewriters are back for saving and they look fancier than ever before, goat statues are the new Mr.Everywhere/Mr. Racoon, you even have a car sequence. There are a few things introduced however, such as a heavily revamped crafting system to make healing items and ammunition, a charming little journal to keep track of the events of the story. You can also buy weapons, ammo, upgrades and items from “The Duke” using Lei collected from enemies and found along the way (who even given a cute little reference to the beloved Merchant from Resident Evil 4 if you pay attention)o Nothing huge added, but i don’t think it needed much, if it’s not broken as they say.    … Expand

    TULTRON'S RESIDENT EVIL AGE ... that's all.

    My heart says to give an '' 8.0 '' but, my visions and mind, say the 7, so consider this a 7.5. It's sad to see how organic and natural Resident Evil 7 is with its concept to direction, but Resident Evil 8 fails as a child of Resident Evil 7, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game! The game starts very well, somewhat fast, but very good.    TULTRON'S RESIDENT EVIL AGE ... that's all.

    My heart says to give an '' 8.0 '' but, my visions and mind, say the 7, so consider this a 7.5.

    It's sad to see how organic and natural Resident Evil 7 is with its concept to direction, but Resident Evil 8 fails as a child of Resident Evil 7, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game!

    The game starts very well, somewhat fast, but very good. There, elements that make us weird are presented, elements of the story teeling, which is put into practice later in a very fun way and things sound very natural, with the exception of Chris hiding the truth from Ethan, he could say there , but, he does not say because of the script, however, it is interpretive and we can think of reasons why Redfield did not say there. When Ethan passes through the forest, reaching the survivors' stretch, WOW! the game there performs very well a break of expectation, which, here at least, is not bad, it just makes you more determined to move on. When you arrive at the scene of the discussion of Heinsenberg and Dimitrescu and the scene of the daughters together of the giant woman, we can see a certain promise (including marketing and trailers) of the game for what those characters will be, which makes you anxious to see them in practice and expect a lot from them. That's when ... the game starts to fail, the level design proves to be linear. Initially, the first daughter gives you the impression of a stalker half a nemesis, but linearity completely breaks this, due to the absence of a good time for this. Level design is based on what RE4 presents; you know scenario A and go to B and C, which automatically takes you to scenario A back, different from what RE, (including the wonderful RE7) would do, which would force you to pass the ABC scenario and then return from CBA , generating more gameplay time. the game is very automatic in the castle and this is one of the problems of why the daughters and Diminitrescu were wasted. The exterior geography made the castle look bigger, but inside, it wasn’t that grand, being more of a simple mansion (it seems to be smaller than RE1’s), and clearly, when we walk over the roofs, we see parapets and windows of places that never appear in the game, that is ... the castle is poorly explored in architecture, which means that Level Design could be longer, allowing for greater backtracking and time for the characters to be explored, but it doesn't ... The daughters are short-lived and Diminitrescu has a rough finish. You leave the castle upset, but in the meantime we return to the village, which is one of the highlights, where backtracking lives the most (except for the factor that bactracking sometimes seems very simple and obvious, but only in a few moments.). Finally, we go to the Beneviento house. The path to the place is incredible, we have a big house ... but again, poorly explored, we can even see corridors and passages that existed but obstructed (again, the level design could be higher), you have a surreal experience in basement with the big baby, but everything ends quickly, with the dolls at the end and a death ... that, discards a potentially wonderful character. We had seen how wonderful Marguerite in RE7 was as the owner of the second house, it wouldn't be a problem for them to do an extensive level design here with a tone of Silent Hills P.T., but no ... they prefer to abbreviate it. Moreau's part is ok, nothing incredible, but you don't expect much from him anyway, and it's cool anyway, a good comic and fun relief, impossible not to empathize with Moreau. Heinsenberg is common, however, THAT BOSS FIGHT IS **** RE6 STYLE, SIMPLY HORRIBLE, but Heinsenberg's motivation is very good. After that, the game seems to improve sharply. The story teeling starts to happen, a flood of plot-twist that involves you with Miranda, Chris, Megamiceto, Rose, HOLY **** OZWELL E. SPENCER AND UMBRELLA, ETHAN IS ALIVE everything happens very fast, yes .. BUT IN ANY WAY, VERY GOOD (probably lucky), leading us to an epic final battle and an... equally EPIC.

    The game engages you at the beginning, leaves you in a term of love and hate in the middle and engages you by ejaculating at the end. His problem is be promised too much ... just like Marvel's Age of Ultron, he has all the good stuff, but it is due to lack of creativity, maybe fear and a lot of haste, it makes things very fast and badly used . It gives you a wonderful experience, but kills this at the best time or just gives nothing like they promised, unlike its predecessor, which promised, gave and a little more. An bittersweet game, but nothing cancels the fact that it is, anyway, a good game and great RE. But it could have been... a lot. much. much. much better.

    Well i gaved 8 because is the most next of 7,5... 7 is pessimist.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First - Reviews of this game are suffering from people who outright refuse to engage with the game on its own merits. It is not enough to say "I am upset with the direction of the series." It is reasonable, however, to note that this game might not "be a satisfying direction" for longtime fans. Problem is, it doesn't deserve a deduction in points along with that note. The only place this would be forgivable, is if you are longtime established critic whom people go to for Resident Evil/survival horror commentary. But even then, maybe give the game a fighting chance on its own terms?

    Whine about subjectivity all you want. Maybe this is actually a refutation of scored reviews or the sorry state of gaming journalism, but reviewing is a critical thought exercise. You need to consider everything within its own context -- did the "text" (in this case, the game) set out to do what it intended to? Is it entertaining? Do the elements of intertextuality work? Is it scary? Does its world mesh?

    To these questions and more, RE8: VILLAGE gives a resounding, if imperfect, yes.

    The environments are beautifully realized in graphical quality and detail, but also in design. The way the world opens up is every bit as engaging as the Baker Estate from BioHazard. While VILLAGE of course takes a different tact in establishing tone, it does this successfully largely through its over-the-top locale. We have submerged ourselves in Gothic horror - something Resident Evil has always been taking inspiration from. Vampires are to mansions as mansions are to Frankenstein and zombies are to public buildings. They are tropes of the horror tarot that have been revolving since the 19th century and there are few more gothic settings than the Spencer House in the original Resident Evil. We've just gone whole-hog now. Vampires, werewolves are utilized well, and its nice to see them have a different origin than typical horror fiction tropes.

    This game is referencing so much its mind-boggling: Dracula, Frankenstein, Lovecraft, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Chuckie, Children of the Corn, the Wolfman, Van Helsing, and more, more, more. It synthesizes these influences into a coherent "Disneyland" of horror. To tie back to what I started this review with: The game can claim this a success, because the environments and character are fully realized, existing alongside the fictional lineage they are a part of. The world and characters feel like they can coexist. This world now belongs to Resident Evil. And you feel it while you play.

    Admittedly, the game leans farther into spectacle than hard character development, but horror should be judged on its atmosphere first and foremost. So, I'd argue this is okay. Rather than the suffocating scary-horror of BioHazard, we spend our time in the cool-horror of VILLAGE, but VILLAGE is not without its terrifying moments.

    The gameplay is snappy and appropriately responsive, creating just enough tension in fights to keep you on your toes. The interaction with the game world delivers its own set of enjoyable and satisfying moments. It demands that you engage and pay attention in order to solve puzzles, and oscillates nicely from longer challenges that wrap quickly and shorter ones you need to solve under pressure.

    Now for a couple of the things that take away from this experience.

    1. One area - Moreau's - is atrociously underdeveloped and -- honestly -- embarrassing. It is quick, simple, boring, the boss is underwhelming, and some areas are potentially a drag on your time. I managed through luck to squeeze by, but I imagine some folks got stuck on a **** bridge sequence.
    2. Some of the areas could have had a couple more rooms/sections added. I find this is an issue with many "AAA" games -- why not go the extra mile? This game would be a true classic if the castle, reservoir, and various passages contained just a tiny bit more.
    3. Normal mode is a little too easy, but hardcore is embarrassingly unbalanced. The first encounter probably had many people wishing they hadn't pre-ordered or bought the game. I'm all for a challenge, but this isn't that. It is unfair in design and quickly becomes tedious. It needs to be tweaked, especially since its probably the "sweet-spot" difficulty level.
    4. Some gameplay mechanics are explained wrong. You're told to bring food to the Duke, but if you sell him food before you unlock the cooking mechanic (the player doesn't know this is going to happen) those supplies are lost forever.

    And that's really it. Everything else about this game is superb. If its a direction thats not for you, thats okay. Maybe look into its influences, give it a shot? Play through with an open mind.

    I can't recommend it highly enough to horror fans or fans of Resident Evil.    … Expand

    On PS5 this was optimised like a dream with only a few hiccups with fps drops during explosions etc; the seemless loading was noticable comparing to gameplay of pc and xbox.

Early rumors suggested this started life as Resident Evil Revelations 3, before being reworked and upgraded to a Resident Evil 7 sequel, and having finished it I can believe that. The change between the first and second halves feels like a gradual drift from the sinister tone of the last game, to Revelations' louder, fun action movie vibe. That said I'm going to have to try to explain as much as I can without spoiling anything, because Capcom has impressively managed to keep about 90% of the game secret and only shown off the first maybe three or four hours.

One minute we're fighting werewolves, bats and Dark Souls inspired zombies to mechanical, borg like machines and then back in tentacles and sludge territory (like that hasn't been done a million times over in games).

    The level designs are for the most part ok and atmospheric but boxy. Massive let down if you're expecting a truly creepy and enthralling horror epic however. It fails to be that. Certain areas and bosses are totally lackluster (the puppet level comes to mind. What a let down!) and the Merman, Lovecraft level which was totally just a run through with a boss chasing you. All empty and boring stretches of nothing. While action packed if you like FPS and definitely taking a more RE5 approach, it's tedious right from the start once you realize the extremely small amount of effort Capcom put into this.

    Capcom once again just makes another over the top and way over staying it's welcome sort of game. Went on for too long in my opinion which is mainly the fault of the boring and slow cutscenes. Ethan Winters is a boring character. The dialogue is cheesy and lame. The plot is predictable and the ending a let down.

    Storia raccontata bene e senza mai dilungarsi troppo, rendendolo sempre scorrevole e con colpi di scena continui dietro l'angolo.
    Il twist del personaggio di Ethan, che si scopre alla fine, crea una sensazione che pochi giochi riescono a regalare.
    Un'avventura che speri non finisca mai e che regala un mix di emozioni che lasciano il segno al giocatore.
    Il mercante è una chicca che ti permette di conoscere dettagli della storia e da semplice "venditore" diventa un tuo amico fedele, facendoti rivalutare completamente il personaggio.
    Resident Evil Village accumula i migliori tratti di Resident Evil 4 e gli unisce ai lati migliori dei suoi precedenti.
    Un'atmosfera horror con un gameplay sempre emozionante ed action; Ethan che trova un degno e onorevole finale, mostrando di essere lui l'eroe.
    Altro dettaglio degno di nota è la comparsa di Spencer nel racconto, che mostra come nonostante il capitolo sia molto diverso e staccato dai precedenti RE, ci sia una vera unione.

    As a perfectionist, I beat the games after 12 hours, (which is far more considering that the usual beat time is around 9 hours), but I truly enjoyed discovering every single piece of each location and to find all the sectors possible – that's what good game is supposed to do to you.

    Resident Evil 7 was a great game too, but Village plays and feels like a much more serious AAA title with a great open-world, which 7th lacked.

    So fat the best game of 2021 and one of the best RE entries so far. 10/10.    … Expand

    To those who want to talk sgit about this game. Well first off I'd slap every single one of you for writing this bull **** and for still having your mom's breastfeeding your scrawny asses. It's either that or you can call me dad while my wife schools your asses at any game. I'd like to see your nerdy ducks make a game anywhere close to even the title screen.

    Ablsolutly brilliant finished the game in about 10 hours on standart difficulty. Graphics are beautiful on ps5, story telling couldn't of been better, same as the gunplay mechanics. Very emersive especially with a good pair of head phones and the adaptive triggers. 100% woryh the money. Therefore im giving this a 101 out of 10 it deserves.

    Better then both re4 and re7! Best get in the series thus far. Ties into re7 perfectly but you don't ha e to play re7 if you don't want. There are a few hiccups with the game but you won't notice. Replay + is awesome!

    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.
