    This game is a masterpiece, the story is interesting with big twist, amazing mix of combat and horror, re4 vibes, great graphics and sound design, replayability. If you like RE get it dont think twice.

    Curti 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 normalCurti 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.

    This is a really great entry in the long running RE series. It’s got nice locations to explore, fun enemies and bosses to fight and the gunplay is top notch. Highly recommended this for horror game enthusiasts

    Magnificent!!! Hands down one of the best Resident Evil games in years! it's got everything from the survival horror genre, mixed well with action & adventure elements. Fun bosses, awesome story with a mind-blowing twist and it's decently long for a RE game. Oh and it looks incredible! This is a 10/10 MUST BUY game, it's just a great experience and value! Well done to the developers. :)

I also think it will be way easier for a lot people to go from Village to Capcom's next RE game Resident Evil 4 Remake. Bigger inventory, weapon/inventory upgrades, loot dropping enemies, more different enemies, more boss fights, more areas to explore. That's the way to go. That's what makes best and most fun RE game.

    I really like it and i think it's very well done Resident Evil game. It has Resident Evil 7 camera and Resident Evil 4 elements like inventory/merchant. It even has some RE2 Remake elements, that i'm not gonna spoil. Way more normal enemies than in RE7 (that's a +), more bosses (also a +), bosses actually look interesting, some of them reminded me The Evil Within bosses (that's a +).I really like it and i think it's very well done Resident Evil game.

    Resident Evil Village has almost everything the franchise is famous for: Horror, action, survival, atmosphere, weapons, monsters, puzzles, music, great sound design, inventory management, exploring, badass villains, a silly and over the top storyline and of course explosions.

    While in the first half of the game the horror part plays the biggest role, the second part of the game becomes more action packed. I personally have no issues with that at all. Resident Evil was always known for it's more action driven second half or at least last third.
    The strongest assets of this game are definitely the fantastic atmosphere (made possible by graphics and sound), the monster design and enemy variety as well as the locations themselves. Absolutely great and immersive, especially the castle and factory. I also highly appreciate the fact, that the heavily scripted gameplay sequences from RE7 are gone here, the scripted jack baker fights annoyed me very much.
    The boss fights in RE Village vary heavily. Some are great while others disappoint, but at least we have many.
    My biggest issue, not only with this game but with many other RE games: Capcom just doesn't seem to have a feel for difficulty. The "standard" difficulty is way too easy for 90% of casual players out there, the next difficulty level (hardcore) starts off very, very hard (i think everyone knows at which part i am hinting at) but gets easier after that part. Hardcore feels like the real normal difficulty. It makes the game feel more challenging and engaging. The "casual" difficulty is a joke, sorry. Every 4 year old could play through that one.
    I'm a bit torn about the puzzles. Yes, there a some small creative brain teasers here and there but most puzzles are ridiculously easy. Capcom really could have made some of them a bit more challenging and interesting.
    Inventory management, although there to some extent, plays almost no role in this game. There were only one or two occasions where i was running out of space and couldn't carry a new weapon, so i rearranged my inventory quickly and voila, no problem anymore. You don't even need to buy the last and biggest inventory expansion from the duke, the game just doesn't challenge you enough to do so.
    All in all i really enjoyed the ride RE VIllage put me through and i can recommend it to anyone who is at least somewhat interested in high quality video games (hot only horror games) with a love to detail. The production value is very high and it definitely shows. Buy it, but be aware of the horror that awaits!    … Expand

    Great game! If you enjoyed RE Bio then you should love this game. Keeps everything that worked so well and adds in everything you might have thought was missing. Hardcore mode just adds to that as you have to outwit and be precise with your decision making. Should be up for GOTY!

    At this point i seriously fail to understand why some people still try to hate on it. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm not saying you can't say that you hate certain game, of course you can. But what's the point honestly? It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years.

It's very obvious what Capcom is doing right now, so if you hate these new games, you might as well leave this series for next 2 years. RE Village is most obvious inspiration from RE4 and everyone already knows that RE4 Remake will be next RE game. That's what Resident Evil is and will be until at least 2023. Deal with it. That's what this series is and most people seem to absolutely love it. It's crazy how good reviews it gets on steam. But to be completely fair, if you don't like Resident Evil 4, i don't like you anyway. Would recommend Village to anyone (even people who are new to RE series) who wants to have fun, lots of boss battles, great graphics and weapon upgrades. People who say it doesn't have horror at all are simply lying. Or maybe their definition of horror is just hiding in the corner. That's something i call pathetic, not horror, but to each their own. I would also recommend playing Resident Evil 4 after RE Village, it's truly absolute masterpiece and best game in whole RE series.… Expand

    Capcom has done it again! Another excellent Resident Evil game that sets the standard for the horror game genre. Great graphics, story, and a soundtrack that fits the atmosphere perfectly. If your a fan of horror games, then you simply can not miss the newest installment in this iconic game series. Great job Capcom!

    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.

    After play with dualsense, immersion and sensation are really missing here.
    No atmos, loadings a bit long, not better fluidity, both version are very smooth.
    Nobody says that on disc there is not the game, just a 187mb file to unlock download, scandalous.

    This game is the usual round of Resident Evil absurdity - and it's great. Convoluted plots, ridiculous larger than life characters, evil corporations (that still think genetically engineering dangerous unstable bioweapons is much more effective than, say, just shooting people)- what's not to love. It's just silly fun with some genuinely unsettling set pieces (the dolls house for example.)

    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.

    Resident Evil Village is an incredible piece of work, capable of keeping us glued to the screen for the entire story. Although there are some flaws that make it closer to an excellent game rather than a masterpiece, we recommend everyone to play it as it's a good product in almost all aspects, which could also make you approach the saga for the first time.

    While not without faults and with a strangely out of character last section, Resident Evil Village is simply one of the finest moments for the series, mixing together a wonderfully dark atmosphere with tense action and sweet morsels of horror and despair.
