Resident Evil: Village takes the set-up from the seventh installment and mixes it together with the very best in the show's history. It enchants and shocks us at the same time, to the point that we become completely dependent on it. A contemporary classic that sets a new standard, just as Resident Evil 4 once did.

Resident Evil Village is the best game in the franchise since Resident Evil 4, and one of the best horror games I've ever played - a praise that I genuinely thought long and hard about. Very few games have given me the exhilarating rush, the well-choreographed scares, or the masterful immersion of this game. It's a powerhouse of the genre brimming with creativity thanks to spot-on art direction and a vast list of monsters from almost every corner of horror.

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 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.

Resident Evil Village is just incredible. It is a mixture of what was established with Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7 biohazard, but it manages to have its own identity and offers a unique experience. The gameplay is fun, challenging and features smart puzzles. Fear, as well as tension, are also present in much of the journey. The only flaws are the Mercenaries mode and the story that may not appeal to everyone.

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.

Resident Evil Village is a masterpiece, it is the evolution in all aspects of its previous chapter. It has been able to take advantage of the aspects that most enamored its community with the old titles and has managed to implement them in a first-person title.

Resident Evil 8 Village is one of the best entries in the series, and an exceptional survival horror game. The setting, characters, and exploration are the highlights of the title, and keep you engaged from start to finish. There’s enough content to chew on for multiple playthroughs, and the game features aspects of almost every game in the series without anything feeling crammed in. It’s an incredible title and continues to cement CAPCOM’s place in the industry as one of the most creative studios, and masters of survival horror.

Village doesn't pull any punches when it comes to horror, but a consistent rollout of new weapons and tools makes it hard to walk away from these terrors

‎Village leans on what has been achieved with RE7, improves all technical and playable aspects and introduces new mechanics. The setting is impeccable, and offers terrifying moments, but sometimes so many possibilities (the "crafting", collectibles or hunting) make us lose "the focus" on this great horror story.‎

The sequel to Resident Evil 7 leans heavily on Resident Evil 4's brand of action, but adds its own sensibilities to the mix.

I don't think Resident Evil Village is going to be very divisive per se: I suspect the reaction will be generally positive. But it's going to definitely spark some conversations as to how it stacks up against the current darling of RE7, and it has a long hill to climb to match its success financially. As for me, I think it complements it quite well, and then some.

Lady Dimitrescu's towering presence is just the tip of the iceberg of what Resident Evil Village offers. This game takes everything you know about the iconic horror series and dials it up to eleven!
