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 shines brightly as one of this year’s early Game of the Year contenders. Whether you’re a fan of the series or a survival horror fan in general, be sure to pick it up.
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.
Honestly, Resident Evil Village has a lot good and a lot bad going for it. However I will say that I’m glad the game carries a unique identity in comparison to the bland remakes. An incredible setting mixed with some brief qualities from the series’s best games. Unfortunately, very similarly to Resident Evil 2 Remake, this game looses a lot of its punch after the first act. It’s not as bland as the sewer/lab segments but it does considerably lose its mind in a tragic, drug addicty way. I loved how RE7 didn’t need to have some elaborate global government conspiracy plot to get out the drama it needed to, it just had a simple plot that worked its magic. RE Village has that facade for the first two thirds of the game, but then egregiously attempts to squeak in RE5 styled nonsense. From manning a giant battle bot to playing a military shooter styled segment as Chris, to the before mentioned global conspiracy plot, it’s an absolute disaster. I am grateful that it only ruined 1/3 of the game, but that’s still 1/3 of the game ruined. smaller matters like combat and spook factor suffice in this game, and the villains are also pretty cool. Overall, Resident Evil Village had the potential to be just as good if not better than 7, but sadly had the misfortune of needing to meet a “worst parts of resident evil” quota.
Pretty bad.
Honestly, its a downgrade from 7 in almost every way that matters to me. The atmosphere, the level design, the horror, the story... Yes, it has the vampire ladies. Genius marketing move by Capcom really to attract the hordes of pathetically horny gamers. Half the reviews here are about the vampire lady. But it doesn't matter to me, I fail to see how this is an improvement from 7 in any meaningful way.
Mais uma vez a Capcom peca em um jogo sem sal, confuso e sem identidade nenhuma. Vamos lá, porque tem muita coisa pra comentar dessa maça. Os Winters estão no jogo, o que é bom, para ter um melhor entendimento daquele horroroso jogo chamado "Resident Evil 7", a trama do jogo é melhor entendida com o desenrolar da mesma, sem precisar de DLCs para um melhor entendimento como aconteceu no anterior (coisa mais estupida), aí ganha um ponto. Os inimigos mais descartáveis que já vi em um jogo de Survival Horror, que nada tem haver com o conceito da franquia em si, nota zero aí. Ambientação, é o quesito mais forte do jogo, tudo é bem feito e construído, encaixado com a trama de forma satisfatória. Puzzles, até que tem bastante, mas muito fáceis pra mim, não precisei quebrar a cabeça com eles; poderiam ter sido desafiadores pra compensar um pouco as outras cagadas no jogo. A trilha sonora é interessante. Enfim, dou nota 4,0/10 no geral. Mas ainda sim, bem melhor que o jogo anterior. Obs: Ainda sou da opinião que a Capcom deveria acabar de vez com a franquia, pois eles estão sem ideias e cagando pra ela, isso já está mais do que notado. Praticamente estão fazendo dinheiro com o nome "Resident Evil" e só, que foi de uma franquia notória dentro do cenário Survival Horror para ser a franquia mais incompreensível. Lamentável mas é a realidade.
SummaryThe next generation of survival horror rises in the form of Resident Evil Village, the eighth major entry in the Resident Evil series. With ultra-realistic graphics powered by the RE Engine, fight for survival as danger lurks around every corner. Years after the tragic events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Ethan Winters has started over w...
