I’m curious what everyone thinks about Resident Evil 8 after experiencing it more fully. Personally, I really love this title—it’s become one of my favorites in the Resident Evil series! The setting is fantastic with diverse locations, and I appreciate the variety in enemy types and designs. I find the story to be much more compelling than that of RE7, which I also enjoy. The gameplay in Village feels faster and more satisfying; it reminds me of RE4 with its action-oriented approach while still maintaining a good balance. Some players say it’s not scary enough, but I feel like the series as a whole leans more towards being gory and disturbing rather than outright terrifying. I play for the fun rather than the scares, and I would easily rank Village among my top four titles in the series!

It had its moments, but I’d say it’s more of a mid-tier Resident Evil for me. Just okay overall.
I loved the story and the gameplay, but I also feel it leaned a little too heavily on action. However, the variety in locations was a definite plus for me!
I found it super enjoyable! It’s definitely in my top 5 for the franchise, just such a fun mix of horror and action.
I really enjoyed it, especially the House Beneviento segment. The atmosphere there was top-notch. But I felt some parts, like Moreau’s section, seemed a bit rushed.
I played through it three times and honestly can’t get enough! It’s a solid game for sure.
I think it’s a fantastic game—certainly better than RE7 for me! Just a bit of a disappointment with some character decisions, particularly Chris’s actions.
As much as I enjoyed it, I felt like it peaked too early. Lady D’s castle was the highlight, but everything after was nice but not as thrilling.
It’s a decent entry, but I felt it lacked depth compared to earlier titles like RE4 and RE7. There are some fun elements, but it doesn’t hit the same for me.
It felt similar to RE4 just in first-person view. After the first playthrough, it really opens up, but I can see why that would be off-putting.
Seven playthroughs here! My last run on Village of Shadows difficulty was intense. Had everything maxed out, ready to go!
