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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When it comes to an all-time high for the franchise, Resident Evil Village pushes the boundaries, it attempts to build on well-established tropes the series is known for, and it does it rather well. Well enough that the series could continue on this way, using the first-person perspective to its advantage and continue delivering the jumps and scares the series is known for.

An audacious and ambitious game that ranks among the best of the series, even if it's a touch inharmonious.

Overall Resident Evil Village is a fantastic entry into the realm of Resident Evil. It continues the storyline, it causes more questions than it answers, it allows for future entries to pick up from both the pre and post credits, and it was fun. Do I wish that Ethan Winters had more personality like our once again returning Chris Redfield? Yes. Was it enough to take me away from the gorgeous mountain views and the terrifying creepy haunted mansion on a hill? No, it sadly wasn’t and I really never want to see that house again!

Resident Evil Village is a deliciously gruesome game. Ethan Winters gets it again and once more has to go through hell to save his family. This time no crazy family, but a bigger setting that gives you more freedom. Although the game is somewhat linear initially, the level of horror continues to rise but this time combined with more puzzles and exploring. The enemies are terrifying and next to that survival is truly back with the RE4-inventory system.

All-in-all, Resident Evil Village is a fantastic shooter that’s overflowing with grim and grisly visuals that add a flourish of horror to a wonderful repertoire of action. While the move towards a supernatural theme meets with mixed results, it’s impossible to argue with how enjoyable gameplay is, or the effort taken to merge the distant and recent pasts of the franchise into a new monster for the new age.

In short, if you like Resident Evil 7 and the atmosphere it offers, the elements of horror, I can say that you will enjoy a similar experience from Resident Evil Village. Resident Evil Village has already become one of the most successful games of the year, despite some shortcomings.

After stepping away for a day, after beating Village, it has become one of my favorite Resident Evil titles and I hope whoever reads this picks up a copy and enjoys it.

Many of the previous entries in the game tend to just go from one location to another, such as Resident Evil 2 going from the police station, straight into the sewer, and then the lab. This did help Village to stand out and feel fresh and made the world just feel more vibrant and important rather than just set dressing.

By itself, Resident Evil Village is a fantastic addition to the survival-horror genre and focuses more on empowering the player rather than cheap horror elements. As part of the series, Village lacks in the story department and seems like it tries to cast too wide of a net to appeal to a greater audience rather than catering to the hardcore fans. Diehard ResE fans might be disappointed at the lack of lore in Village, but casual fans won’t feel like they need to have played every prior entry in order to have a good time. Ultimately, I’d recommend Resident Evil Village to anyone that loved Resident Evil 4 or who felt like Resident Evil 7 was too horror-focused.

Resident Evil Village is a very fulfilling package of action, puzzle and horror and the best possible continuation of this beloved series. It is on one hand a true classic Resident Evil experience and on other hand it has enough of new ideas to feel like a step forward.
