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.

Resident Evil is literally the best game I've ever played. The story is incredibly powerful and moving: a father fights monsters in a terrifying village just to save his infant daughter. The graphics are fantastic, the combat system is excellent, and the psychological horror and action are well-balanced, giving the game a beautiful and distinctive character. I highly recommend it

Um bom jogo até o meio, mas com um final horrivel. A conclusão é rushada e sem muito sentido, o que prejudica muito a experiência. Ainda assim, o começo e o meio são memoráveis.

Absolute masterpiece. Resident Evil 4 and the remake are outstanding but Village is at worst, the second best RE game. The story is more than decent and the atmosphere is better than all other RE games. The game is excellent in all regards

Resident Evil: Village takes the ground work from the seventh part and mixes it together with the very best from the previous Resident Evil titles. It enchants and shocks us at the same time, to the point that we become completely addicted to it. A contemporary classic that sets a new standard, just as Resident Evil 4 once did.

Resident Evil Village is a wild, thrilling ride across seemingly every horror genre and idea that happened to pass through the mad minds at Capcom. Not every aspect of the game is perfect, but its highs are very high and solid core mechanics and excellent presentation hold the grisly patchwork together. You may survive Resident Evil Village, but your thoughts will linger there long after you’ve escaped.

Resident Evil Village is truly the spiritual son of Resident Evil 4 and 7! This theme park of horror perfectly mixes horror and action and offers an extremely neat universe: the atmosphere is heavy, the bestiary generous, the casting is perfect and the puzzles bring a real cachet to one of the scariest Survival Horror I’ve been able to play in a long time. Unfortunately, the link with the series is not more exploited. Nevertheless, despite a less-inspired last part, what we have here the best Resident Evil since Resident Evil 4.

A superb game with excellent touches, great art and a confident execution. But its attempts to reintroduce classic design ideas from the saga are a bit lacking compared to the original ones.

Resident Evil Village expands the pared-back, first-person gameplay of Resident Evil 7 into a more ambitious and over-the-top survival horror experience. Greater variety and more mechanical depth prove that there’s a lot of potential left to explore in this new approach to the series, but some elements are a bit uneven, and you may find yourself missing the simplicity of the Baker ranch.

Reaching the credits, I sat back, exhausted and disappointed at where the series had ended up.

Worse than 7, but different. More action and exploration, maybe better than 7 for some.

Played and got the platinum trophy for this game. I think that it is a nice game, with, as usual for the RE Engine, nice gameplay, great graphics, sound and optimization. I can't say that it's not a good game, but i don't think it's a great Resident Evil. Too much action and lacks horror survival, and on the contrary to what we see on Resident Evil 7, i really dislike the first person gameplay for this game. Only a small fraction of the game utilizes it well. The map is too open, a third person view would be better. The "deluxe version" has a third person view that is horrible, it's very noticeble that it was a rush decision to add that. Just as Resident Evil 7, i like Ethan Winters and his reasons to be there fighting monsters, but i hate the fact that Capcom chose to not showing him and his face even on cutscenes. The enemies are actually ok. The game brings a lot of inspiration on horror genre, just don't make that much sense in the Resident Evil world. The boss fights are, without exception, boring. The boss characters are also boring and not memorable. The stalker boss is laughable. In general, what i can say is that this game has a fun gameplay, and with the addition to the quality of the RE Engine are the aspects that boost this score to a 7. But it lacks a soul. Almost everything on the story and boss characters are just blend and boring. The fun is just killing base enemies. The game seems to be a cheap copy of Resident Evil 4. The only thing that has a actually meaning is Ethan motivation to be there on the Village.

看到好评如潮就买了,结果前三十分钟是灾难性的。完全没有优化体验极其糟糕的第三人称,手感和玩具枪一样的枪械,操作僵硬的人物手感,极其糟糕的引导系统,玩起来和最后生还者2相差二十年。
