Resident Evil Village - Xbox Series X

I been waiting to play this game for a long time! It does not disappoint! Visuals are amazing! Audio is haunting! Gameplay is phenomenal! The atmosphere and characters are pure genius! I love this game!

Spectacular game! More action and compelling plot points than RE7. An Absolutely Brutal title with a ton of heart. A Must-Have for all Survival Horror fans!

100% worth it, an amazing game and great preorder bonus with Best Buy. The survival pack gives you a nice little advantage in the story along with a steel book case.

Great game. Just beat the this past Monday and I’m ready to play it again. Definitely worth picking up.

I’m a big Resident Evil fan and this game looks amazing on my Xbox Series x.

I have to say the storyline of RE8 Village is amazing. It’s definitely a lot faster than RE7. The story keeps you engaged throughout the entire game and busy. I have to say this game is definitely a 5 out of 5! I really loved and enjoyed playing Village. Although I do have to say that the first boss you encounter will be the best boss in this game. The best way I can describe this game is it brings back that RE4 feel. Having to walk around the map I’m the village searching for clues and discovering the story of Ethan and his family. If you loved RE4 you’ll definitely love RE8 Village, it’s a great game! And if you haven’t played RE4 I’d definitely still recommend you buy Village and experience unfolding the new twist and route Resident Evil is taking.

If you liked Resident Evil VII, you'll love Village. It's everything that made VII great, but with improved combat mechanics and more enemy variety. The boss fights are fantastic. The graphics are beautiful. I love the gothic atmosphere of the titular village as well. The story is also very intriguing with a nice mystery element that'll keep you playing until the endgame reveal. If you're looking for scares, though, Village won't meet that demand very often. However, there is one segment of the game that strips you of all your items, including weapons, that feels like something right out of an early Silent Hill game. It's terrifying and disturbing in all the best ways.

Resident Evil Village isn't a traditional Resident Evil game as it focuses more on action than actual horror which can be a mixed bag for some. Personally, I really enjoyed the action and it's a very good mix between being fun and challenging on the standard difficulty. The game still has its moments despite the more toned-down approach that Capcom took with the scariness of this title. Graphics are extremely realistic highlighting the most bloody and gory parts of the experience. Audio does not disappoint as well. You can hear every roar, laugh, crunch, etc. in great detail. My main gripe with it is the poorly written dialogue that kills the vibe in some instances. One example of this is when Emily falls into a fire and dies Ethan says "why does everyone keep dying on me" when Ethan did nothing to at least try and save Emily from falling off the plank and dying. There are other parts at the end that I won't spoil that are laughable because of the dialogue itself. Despite this, the gameplay is very interesting and I definitely recommend giving it a go if you are on the fence about it.
