    Let's be honest, Capcom did the excellent work overall.
    Creepy atmosphere is totally leaking out from the screen and this is what people love.
    Beautiful visuals, amazing depressing sounds and freaky story forces me to keep playing.
    Strongly recommend to everyone!

    Типичный резидент, мы запихнём игрока в коробку, и пусть он там бегает от толпы врагов без патронов и без понятия, что делать дальше. К сюжету и его реализации вопросов нету, но вот геймплей отвратительный.

    We are moving to a place where all games lose their edge to appeal to the masses. This at the cost of daring something and relying on what already worked. Resident evil 8 is not scary for a horror game, while that is it's genre. Stop appealing to the masses I don't want to play the same game in a different color

    Probably the best game I've ever played. The storyline was amazing. The fact it circled back to previous events in THIS game as well as events in RE7 made it even better.

    The Good:

    * Great graphics in general. There is some LOD issues in the village where occasionally some geometry like buildings switches from low poly to high poly when you're looking right towards it. * Great performance even with maxed out settings in 4k. * Great level design with lots of exploration and optional areas. * Good story (much better than RE7). * Great gameplay.    The Good:

    * Great graphics in general. There is some LOD issues in the village where occasionally some geometry like buildings switches from low poly to high poly when you're looking right towards it.

    * Great performance even with maxed out settings in 4k.

    * Great level design with lots of exploration and optional areas.

    * Good story (much better than RE7).

    * Great gameplay.

    * Didn't notice a single bug other than the LOD issue.

    The Bad:

    * The game economy mainly revolves around upgrading weapons. Some upgrades are down right useless, like 0.1s increased reload speed. If you do most optional stuff you will have an overload of money, which in the end you can only spend on useless upgrades with minimal to no value.

    * Some areas (Windmill and Stronghold) are short and felt rushed which was a bit disappointing. If these two areas had been more fleshed out, the game could have been a bit longer which would have been good since it's only about 11 hours long.

    * Towards the end (Stronghold and onwards), the action is taken way too far. It basically becomes an action shooter instead of a horror game as you expect an enemy behind every corner.

    Verdict:

    The game is basically a mix of RE7 and RE4 (a mix of horror and action shooter) but better than both. Sometimes the action is taken a bit too far for my taste. The game is around 11 hours if you do the optional stuff, so slightly longer than RE7, so it's quite short but I prefer quality over quality. If you like RE7 and the FPS direction you will definitely like this one, just be aware that this game is more action shooter focused.

    Overall, a good game, albeit with a few flaws.    … Expand

The atmosphere is completely non existent and 90% of the game lacks any sort of tension. The plot and the dialogue are flat out laughable. The story, boss battles, and time spent at various locations feel rushed. The enemies remind me of characters from lord of the rings or dungeons and dragons. The gunplay is clunky and very similar to RE7, which does not translate well for this type of action focused gameplay. The game itself is not horrible, but it’s far from RE2 or RE7. Don’t expect a horror game if you give this one a go and make sure that you play on hardcore difficulty (standard difficulty was a breeze). The action focused direction gives me great concern for future releases and I will be tempering my expectations for the conclusion of this trilogy.… Expand

    For anyone who was afraid that Resident 8 was too disconnected from the series and no longer looked like Resident Evil, rest assured. At least in gameplay and atmosphere, Village does not disappoint and consolidates one of the best eras of the franchise, but it does not get to surpass the acts of action, the 3 eras Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6.

More actually interesting/fun boss fights, Weapon Upgrades, enemies drop loot (as they should), beautiful graphics. Can't wait to see what they do with Resident Evil 4 Remake, because now i'm hyped.

    Perfect combination of Action and Horror. Just like Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, The Evil Within and some more. I don't like these hide and seek type horror games, i want to fight back and have fun. Good game.

    The developers deserve an ice cold beer. Level design, character design is top notch. I'm happy to have played something with substance.

Every location is meaningful and well designed. Village and Castle both look absolutely stunning. This game is perfect combination of action and horror.… Expand

    All of the characters are interesting and I'm glad there is mystery behind many of the characters, while giving you enough to understand what their motives are.

    Man, and the 'family above all else' narrative is pretty sweet, in both a cool way and a heart felt way.

    This game is scary, but there is a specific part of the game that is pure psychological horror and it's scary as hell.

    Uh, just buy it, ok? I am giving this a 10/10 because of replayability and I really do believe the game is all around great.

Only complaint i have is that Heisenberg’s Factory lasted a bit too long and started to overstay it’s welcome. But Heisenberg’s boss fight after it all is so much fun, definitely the best and most fun out of all the fights, Mother Miranda being a close second. They really nailed Ethan in this game, to the point i was rooting for him to get Rose back and make it out alive. The ending was so sad after everything Ethan went through in RE7 with saving Mia and RE8 to save his daughter, Rose. Him slowly turning to mold because his body is now made of it and him sacrificing himself to blow the Village up while Chris, Mia and Rose fly away in a helicopter.… Expand

    First a foreword:
    A game about an immortal American systems engineer, where "gg" follows his wife (Mia), and then also follows the child (Rose), not seeing anyone at all, in front of him and behind himself. I mean that he kills those who were not necessary or somehow to avoid murders, he stupidly kills everyone and everything. This is not about creeps (zombies, werewolves, etc.) but about the type of bosses. And in part, he himself, without any help, went into America's hole on his own. Whom that heaps of years ago his wife disappeared, and then boom and she sent him a video. And our hero did not think that this could be a trap or something else, and did not give this video to the police for examination. I went into the hole myself. Isn't he normal? Or, simply because of feelings, he did not begin to attach anyone, such as their family affairs, etc. Okay, these are all predictions, this is just a cutter.
    So now let's move on to the resik itself:
    From a technical point of view, the game's optimization is good, not perfect, but better than Ubisoft games (kill the software). The graphics are great, the beams work fine there without RTX. Textures are WOW, I have not seen such high-quality textures since 2019. Of course, you choose how much the texture memory will be fat. Bugs, yes they are. And in any games they are also there. And during the game I met only 2bags, this is when the werewolf flew and instead of Dimitrescu I was pursued by her dress.
    About the plot: at first ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing is clear, and only from the middle and at the end everything starts to happen. Only now I did not understand one thing, so Ethan died and all this time he was out of mold, or Evelina ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ etc. Although ... At the end, Ethan's hand disappears like the other mold-dicks.
    Bosses: there are 5 of them.
    Miss Giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (Dimitrescu): A woman with a butt larger than Ethan's head. And she has claws like Wolverine.
    Dumb Doll (Beneviento): Just a wacky doll with a minus IQ. Her house is scarier than the whole 8rezik. Of course there is everything because of the golucinations, but damn it is dumb and scary.
    Water moron (??? He only remembered that he was "Scarecrow"):
    Niryaha and a very disgusting character who whines all the time that he is not loved and that instead of Ethan he should have been with her. In principle, we are similar to him (
    Grigory Leps (Van Helsinki or Geisinberg):
    The person who thought that Ethan was going a long way to save his daughter at any cost, would cooperate with him and give him the opportunity to kill Miranda with the help of Rose. And when Ethan rejects his request, he takes offense and wants to kill him.
    Miss deaf ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (Miranda):
    While we were killing her "Children" there, she was sitting there. And that's all.
    There are also secondary bosses, but there is nothing to say about them.
    Conclusion:
    In general, the game is excellent, all those emotions that were in part remained, and even in some moments she simply smokes on the sidelines. It is definitely worth its 2000r, although it costs more on pine trees. I'm like a person who went through all the parts of the rezik starting from 2-3-4-5-6-7 and revelations. The first, alas, is not. I will give the game 8.9 out of 10. Sarah when you go through it through YouTube or from a PC or console, I assure you that you will be afraid of any rustle in the Beneviento house and in the Dimitrescu castle. On YouTube, I think it won't be so scary, but when you play yourself, your emotions will be doubled. But with Kuplinov everything will be fine too.
    I spent 15 hours on the game, 7 of them completing, and the remaining 8 hours I spent on obtaining achievements.

    Good game i liked the visuals and the variety of monsters. The game had some good puzzles and boss fights. Upgrading is better than RE7 with more variety. However, it was not scary at all not once did the game make me jump. If it had RE7 dark atmosphere it would be higher. And a certain area of the game was strange and didnt fit in with the game. The game was a bit easy too.

    RE Village has its moments, but there just isn't enough here to love.

    It has RE4's action focus with a lot of enemies, some bosses, and a merchant that lets you sell treasure and buy upgrades. Other times its puzzles, very scripted, slow paced horror nonsense reminiscent from RE7; that slows the pace down and will make replays dull.

    I'm shocked Capcom felt confident to emulate a lot of RE4 but couldn't bring over the same satisfying combat as well; because the shooting in RE8 is pretty abysmal.

    - Movement is too slow and restrictive for a game that sometimes throws a handful of fast moving enemies that take up your entire screen.
    - FOV is too narrow to even get an idea whats happening around you most of the time.
    - Weapon sounds are underwhelming and lack punch.
    - Enemies have barely any hit reactions, so Its like I'm shooting with a pellet gun.
    - Didn't take the opportunity to add evasive moves, grab counters, melee attacks, etc to flesh out the combat potential.

    I see no benefit to the first person view when it comes to the combat. The camera and movement are better suited for a slow paced horror game; with some enemies and arenas that would benefit if the combat was faster paced and snappy like action RE games. It just doesn't match well at all; Village is two types of games being forced into each other.

    Even with the underwhelming combat, the middle section of the game is still great fun. I had a lot of enjoyment upgrading and getting most of the treasures. RE games shine when the player is left to their own pace. Little cutscenes, little dialogue, you are immersed in the gameplay loop and exploration. However it will probably take you about 8 hours to beat the game, so that middle section feels a bit too brief sadly; the game overall feels like it ended too quickly.

    If I can sum up the experience it would be very fun in some places, but overall forgettable. Nothing really happens that's worth talking about. Story is lackluster, characters are underdeveloped/forgettable, music is serviceable, tone has no consistency, voice acting is hit or miss, combat lacks depth, and too many scripted parts for my liking.

    If the combat was much more fleshed out, and if Village was a little longer to accommodate that, than maybe the gameplay would be able to support the game on its own.

    I still wanna play more to see what the game offers, or at least to make the most out of the purchase. However the lack of depth in the gameplay and just thinking about replaying some of the slow portions sounds like a chore already.

    RE Village doesn't know what it wants to be. Its a bootleg version of RE4 and its not exactly a great horror game either. It borrows from so many games that in the end it has little of its own identity.

    If you insist on getting it, get it on sale.    … 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.
