Resident Evil Village - PlayStation 5

An absolutely incredible survival-horror and action blend. A bunch of unique and interesting monsters, weapons that feel great to shoot, unique locations, breathtaking PS5 graphics, a mysterious story, and lore that fits Village in with the rest of the Resident Evil story. Every boss fight in this game feels like it would be the over-the-top FINAL boss fight in a lesser game. Plenty to unlock after you've finished it, four difficulty modes in case you want an easier or more challenging time, and Mercenaries Mode, an arcadey score-attack combat extravaganza after you've finished the story. I can't recommend this game enough!

This game is a great continuation of Ethan Winter’s story. Even though the game takes an average 6 - 8 hours to beat, I enjoyed every second of it. Capcom has turned down the horror a notch and delivered us a more classic RE experience. Don’t get me wrong the setting and enemy encounters are still creepy as hell, but there wasn’t as many jump scares as there was in Resident Evil 7 which is good for some, but disappointing for others. I loved the story, and the big twist at the end really blew my mind. I love when games do this because they leaves you speculating on what is actually happening. If I can offer you some advice while paying this game, take a second to look around and explore. I know you may rush into finishing the game, but looking for treasure or gathering ingredients for the Duke was very fun to do and can be very rewarding. The preorder bonus that came with it was a steel book case which was nice, but I wish they put more thought into as it looks rather basic. Regardless, Village is an incredible game that brings us to the end of Mr. Winters’ story.

Excellent RE game! Perfect expansion to RE7, if you’re a fan of that game you will enjoy this one, graphics, story and gameplay are all amazing, I personally am loving it so far. Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Resident Evil 7.

Amazing game the graphics looks soo good on a 4k HDR+ Ray tracing on a PS5. I highly recommend it on the PS5 if you have one. Bring on RE9

Great game that follows the story of Ethan Winters. I really enjoyed the lore of the village reminiscent of Resident evil 4. It’s always an adrenaline rush fighting new monsters.

I love this kind of horror game like Resident Evil! I also really like the graphic on PS5!

graphics are nice.... game is kind of slow and boring...got a free steel case purchasing at best buy...good deal to me

I've been a pretty hardcore fan since RE1 on PSX back in 1996. The franchise fell from grace with RE 5 and RE 6, but RE 7 brought this dead franchise back to life. I love RE: Village. This is the most Resident Evil of all Resident Evil games in the franchise. THE BAD: Biggest complaint is the performance takes a bit of a dive on PS5 with Ray Tracing enabled. When RT is enabled, the frame rate struggles to stay at a solid 60 fps. Frame rate takes a pretty big dive nose dive when water is present. This is most noticeable in ACT III. RT isn't worth the performance hit on PS5. THE GOOD: Since this Village is a direct sequel to RE7, I will use the two games to compare to each other. I've heard many people say that this isn't as scary as RE7 tonally, but I'd argue that when played with good headphones and on hardcore for the first time that this game is scarier. Village's tone is arguably weirder and more fun. RE7 had a lot of shocking and gross elements that it borrowed from popular western developed horror games (e.g., Outlast, Alien Isolation, Amnesia). Skippable cutscenes. Period. If you've played RE7 more than once, you'll know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Village allows you to skip each cutscene. Regardless of whether or not you already completed RE7, there was a total of 1 skippable cutscene the entire game. Every single animation had to be long and dragged out...So for that I commend Capcom for allowing us to skip cutscenes this time around in RE8. Village is better on all fronts. Gunplay faster has tighter mechanics and animations. The camera sensitivity for the right analog stick has been overhauled from RE7, allowing for more granular customization. Albeit the B-movie campiness, the storyline and acting is objectively better. Come on. Big Mommy. Need I say more? Ethan's story and personality is more fleshed out. Village is the spiritual successor to RE4 which is evident in the location that it takes place, as well as in the implementation of the inventory and currency system. RE7 raised the bar for the franchise back in 2017, but Village surpasses it in every way for me. It's a masterpiece that falls a little short of RE2: Remake's god-like status, but it's still a masterpiece nonetheless.
