    Resident Evil Village may not quite live up to the highs of its terrifying predecessor but it's a still a solid entry in the long-running series that's well worth checking out. Eastern Europe makes for a fantastically atmospheric and surprisingly open setting here, it's chock full of delightfully oddball characters and features a handful of properly entertaining set-pieces to blast through. There may well be a few rough edges, with a rather painful protagonist and some duff boss battles to contend with but, overall, this is one truly messed up village that's well worth a visit.

    Resident Evil Village is a decent entry into a franchise that continues to wildly swing back and forth, stumbling into success and failure, unsure of what it even wants to be.

    Enjoyable in a mad, pantomime sort of way, Resident Evil Village feels like a pretty significant step back from Resident Evil VII, and a toe back into the absurd. It's a game you're unlikely to forget in a hurry, for entirely the wrong reasons.

    “Hamlet isn’t (quite) dead.” Capcom has worked tremendously hard to turn this Resident Evil Village into the new spearhead of action-horror games. Technically flawless and carefully paced, the experience never runs out of steam even though sometimes, we’d like to stop and enjoy the scenery to find all the secrets it hides. This opus definitely sends the previous one back to its scrappy status by brilliantly taking over the first-person view and its characteristics to generate great moments of stress and fear. The in-game breaks are well managed and the build-up to the inevitably gritty and unsubtle finale is not a disappointment here: far from it. Doing better than this in the future will be no easy task, but at least when putting the controller down, we thought about how memorable this experience had been and how we’d like to go for seconds.

    Curti muito o 7, considero um dos melhores da franquia, mas esse é demais, consegue pegar tudo que o 7 implementou e melhorar, ainda mesclandoCurti muito o 7, considero um dos melhores da franquia, mas esse é demais, consegue pegar tudo que o 7 implementou e melhorar, ainda mesclando com o RE1, RE4 e RE5 perfeitamente. Um jogaço que tem um capítulo que proporciona uma das melhores experiências recentes que tive com os jogos. Gráficos excelentes, só peca um pouco nos cabelos e algumas sombras, mas com ambientação fora do normal de tão boa, trilha envolvente. Um dos melhores RE fácil.… Full Review »
