Resident Evil Village

"Taken alone, any one slice of the game – like a single house, the village itself, even the way combat handles – has its issues. But combined, it merges into something that’s still special – even if it isn’t quite …"

"Resident Evil Village is a good game with a lot of opportunity to have been a great game. And yet, for as many criticisms as I have, it was an experience that I was happy to play through a second …"

"I don&s;t think Resident Evil Village is going to be very divisive per se: I suspect the reaction will be generally positive. But it&s;s going to definitely spark some conversations as to how it stacks up against the current darling …"

"Resident Evil Village has managed to keep a series that has been going for 25 years feel new. The combat is satisfying, the puzzles are well-orchestrated, and it looks incredible."

"When Capcom released Resident Evil 7, not only did it reinvent the Resident Evil series, but reinvented mainstream horror games as we know them."

"Resident Evil Village doesn&s;t have the most engrossing or satisfying story in Resident Evil history, and its more action-oriented approach is likely to disappoint fans that enjoyed RE7&s;s pure horror. However, Resident Evil Village is packed with replay value, rarely …"

"‎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 …"

"Resident Evil Village tastes new while still exuding the aromas of its essence. It manages to explore terror through new settings while compiling different approaches to build a videogame that, while tending towards action, does not forget the puzzle, exploration …"

"Resident Evil Village is a great survival horror game that leans into the action and silliness of earlier entries in the series to mixed results. It&s;s not as good as Resident Evil 7, and it&s;s not as good as Resident …"

"Resident Evil Village is a good — but not exceptional — middle ground between the action-oriented RE4 and the horror thrills of RE7."

"Resident Evil Village is an uneven anthology of horror movie send-ups. Sometimes it offers a truly exciting vision of the series’ future with imaginative world-building and rewarding exploration. Other times, it’s a fairly run-of-the-mill shooter that struggles to provide any …"

"Resident Evil Village is a wonderfully creepy ride through multiple kinds of horror."

"Its attachment to the past can hold it back from greatness, especially in regards to its dedication to bombastic set-pieces and a hesitation to explore its own ideas. Village is drenched in excellence throughout, but the occasional fumble stops it …"

"I’ve been a fan of Resident Evil since I played the original RE2 when it was released in 1998. However, I’m not a purist. The increased emphasis on action isn’t Resident Evil Village’s issue. The problem is that it’s taken …"

"Resident Evil Village is one of the first games that feels truly "next-gen," with absolutely stunning tech bolstered by the industry-leading RE Engine. Stunning visuals, truly bizarre creatures, a memorable parade of eccentric characters, and truly satisfying gameplay make Resident …"

"A strong start and okay finish makes this average out as decent but not amazing installment."

"Resident Evil Village balances frantic terror with slow creeping fear in an unforgettable setting."

"‎After the seventh listed installment of the saga is responsible for renewing it in excellence, Resident Evil 8 Village arrives to fully refine the formula. As a continuation and as an independent title, Ethan Winters&s; last voyage is an exceptional …"

"Resident Evil Village VR is a thrilling way to experience an already great game from a brand new perspective."

"The combat is visceral and vibrant, the environments are splendid and mysterious, and the story had decent enough oomph to keep me involved throughout. I wish this was an overall scarier game, but it’s still a thrilling one nonetheless."

"Resident Evil Village is a genuinely engrossing and increasingly combat-heavy continuation of the Ethan Winters story."

"Capcom&s;s follow-up to its first-person Resi reinvention is a fantastic horror romp - for its first half, at least."
