Resident Evil Village may be the best Resident Evil of all time. It certainly is up there with the best of the series, but that heavily depends on your kind of RE game. If you enjoyed RE4 or RE7 then you'll probably like this one. And if you enjoyed both of them as much as each other then this very well could be one of the best. It certainly is for me.

Some small questionable story choices, compressed sounds, and PC stability keep Resident Evil Village from being a masterpiece, but not far from it. It’s definitely a must-play game that can kickstart your love for the franchise if this is your first step into the series. If you are a returning fan, it’s definitely not Umbrella Corps!

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.

There are places that are directly fear-oriented, there are places in the game that are full of action.

Resident Evil Village is one of the most impressive games in the series, but it's also a harbinger of better games with what it's brought to the series.

Maybe on another playthrough my perception of the title will improve. As of now, it simply did not reach the heights I had unfortunately associated it with through blind excitement. And that is completely and ultimately on me.

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 manages to prove once again that its DNA is not static, and that it has the ability to evolve in the same way as the viruses and biological weapons that its protagonists have fought for so many years. In more ways than one, Resident Evil Village is a huge tribute to 25 years of tradition, and an important stepping stone to its future.

Resident Evil Village is without a doubt one of the Best Installment in the RE series. With a well-written story, enjoyable combat, impressive level design and great sense of mystery to the story, we can call RE Village an amazing combination of RE 7 and RE 4. It's more action oriented compared to RE 7 and horror elements have been decreased considerably. Although I think gunplay in RE Village is far from ideal and Boss fight Encounters needed more work, I still consider RE Village one of the best in the series that worths experience for sure.

A good balanced offering of engaging actions and quieter minutes focused on solving puzzles, as well as the first-class atmosphere, which is the result of an ideal combination of beautiful graphics and sound effects, transforms Resident Evil Village into the game that is recommended to experience.

Overall, Resident Evil: Village is a solid entry into the franchise. It isn't quite up to the sheer excellence of Resident Evil 2 or Resident Evil 4, but it has a lot of genuinely fun moments and solid gameplay. The only thing that might hold it back is that it returns to the ridiculousness that Resident Evil loves to embrace, and that might disappoint fans who were hoping for something more grounded. If you're a Resident Evil fan who has stuck with the series through Alfred Ashford and Jake Muller, then you'll probably feel right at home with Village.

Resident Evil Village is another step forward in the new direction that Capcom taking this series towards, and they did a great job by focusing on a slightly new approach compared to the previous version, emphasizing on some other praised features we knew and loved about the older entries in the series. Mix all this with fresh and beautiful visuals that looks like pre-rendered trailers from the older games and you have an almost flawless brand new RE game.

Resident Evil Village is an expertly-crafted narrative that seamlessly weaves subtle horror into action-driven sequences and backs it up with an excellent story supported by even better characters. An exemplary merit that Capcom still hasn't lost its creative spark

Resident Evil Village is a classic sequel to its predecessor. It is bigger, brighter, and more action-packed. Some horror fans could be disappointed, but nonetheless Village is a well-crafted mix of Resident Evil 4 and 7.

Enter evil village, if you are dare. But be ready for a lot of intense action and less survival and haunted moments.

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 risky game and a new evolution of the concept of the saga that Capcom started with Resident Evil VII. Despite its flaws, Village is a great Resident Evil experience that will make us look scared and live typical situations of the saga.‎
