Capcom hits another positive note with Resident Evil Village, with a great premise and setting which are only let down by fewer scares than RE7 and the story's drastic turns towards the latter half.

Resident Evil Village earns a spot right up there as one of the very best Resident Evil games in the franchise's 25 year run. Village is an amalgamation of what made Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7 fan-favourite entries. Though it also delivers on it's own ambition with new breeds of terrifying enemies never seen before in Resident Evil. The Village is a desolate, decrepit, dolorous setting but undeniably beautiful thanks to some of the best art direction ever seen in the series. In an age of day one patches and bugs, Resident Evil looks and runs flawlessly on the PlayStation 5 version used in this review. Resident Evil Village is a Game of the Year contender.

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.

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

Resident Evil Village is what you get when you take the first-person horror of Resident Evil 7 and combine it with the more action-focused gameplay of Resident Evil 4. Ultimately, it ends up being a love letter to fans of the series, or even just fans of specific games like RE4 and RE7; a fitting title to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary this year.

The gothic horror-style monsters and bosses are not as scary as "Resident Evil 7". However, the next-generation graphics and limited vision is frightening enough. The diverse collectibles in the huge village makes the player want to play the game again after the ending.

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 is a melting pot of many ideas taken from previous Resident Evil with a really captivating scenario. Capcom really mastered the atmosphere of the game which adapts itselfs perfectly according to the situation the player is facing while making us umcomfortable as if something was always watching. We can't help but take pity on the poor Ethan who's involved in all of this despite him. I think this is an enormous success that continues what Resident Evil 7 had done to refresh the franchise and we're looking forward to what's ahead.

Success really depends on what you're looking for. Traditional fans will likely love the experience. Puzzles are fun, combat is intense, enemies feel unrelenting and there is a need to explore if you want to stay alive. Anyone hoping for a more intense run and gun adventure will likely be disappointed. There are absolutely some great moments, just questionable design choices and a rough opening prevent it from being perfect.

Capcom proved once again that the idea of ​​reinventing the gameplay of the Resident Evil series is good when it changed it to the perspective of the first person starting with the seventh part, this was the most suitable choice for immersion in the game and its atmosphere and this is what distinguished the eighth as well. The writing of the story, the atmosphere, the characters and the enemies made this game one of the best games in the series, if not the best, in addition to the cinematic aspect of the game, which I considered one of the best additions to it, as the company focused on showing the game in a beautiful way, in addition to cinematic clips with sufficient dialogues that served the game.
