Resident Evil Village - PlayStation 4 Standard Edition

Seriously, before Resident Evil 7, I was never into the franchise. 7 got me hooked and I grew attached to the intricate story. Village continued it as perfectly as I’d hoped. I bought my copy for the PS4 slim and it ran beautifully. Posting the review here to carry the good praise for the game and to show even old consoles (slowly being replaced) still have relevance if you have one. By the way, if you’re one of those people who say 7 killed the franchise, then you’ll hate this game. However, if you like first-person horror games that have been made with love and attention, you’ll enjoy it. Oh, and I won’t spoil the story but I may harp on the game mechanics.Combat:Really good for the type of game you’re buying. No, it’s not a first-person shooter and it never was trying to be. The gun mechanics work just fine and moving while aiming works pretty well. It should be mentioned you still have the typical Resident Evil bullet spongy enemies, but that’s not a detractor when the franchise is built on that mechanic. The guns sound great with an amazing touch to audio detail. On occasion, I ran into a boss that gave me some trouble but nothing I couldn’t figure out how to work through. Don’t worry about Dark Souls difficulty. Probably the closest thing I’ve had to that was getting swarmed by about fifteen enemies all at once with barely anytime to reload. Nothing a grenade thrown at my feet can’t solve! I can’t think of any major complaints here.Map design and detail:For me, the past several Resident Evil games shine bright with an over-the-top touch with detail. That’s no con at all! Really these games are pleasing just to walk around and look at. You’ll see tiny little additions like subtle drips of moisture running down a mirror or small flecks of rust dropping to the ground. The overall intricate and well-crafted levels were perfect. Always enjoy the several puzzles littered throughout the map with various keys scattered about. I’m a puzzle box fan so I enjoy the process of solving this sort of stuff. Again no real complaints aside from missing an item here and there.Upgrades:The upgrades that can be found to go with the various weapons also add a nice flare to combat. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall a shop system in 7. In the said shop, you can purchase ammo (albeit expensive), sell loot you found, buy upgrades, or have the Duke (trader) cook you food acting as permanent health upgrades. Having the shop greatly encourages selling items to do more upgrades on weapons. You will definitely be using more ammo sooner than you think if you don’t increase weapon damage. Ammo isn’t by any means a rarity, but it comes and goes in frequency. Side note, the Duke is the kindest most helpful character in the whole game! If you buy, you’ll see what I mean. This is by no means a con for other characters (considering they’re supposed to be attempting to kill you at every waking moment). Still no major complaints.Story:In the beginning, I was a little unsure if I’d made a good decision to buy early. I already didn’t like where it was taking me, but it does get better… constantly! For the first few hours, you’re in continual suspense and dread. Every sound could potentially mean danger and you’re always on edge. That to me marks a true horror game. You know at some point a jump scare or other scare will come. But when everything sounds like the beginning of said scare, you can never truly predict when and where it will happen. You never get bored of this at least in my experience. I have to say, the story (after understanding from beginning to end) was a good continuation of 7. Please note, it isn’t 7. That’s odd to say but some people went into this game hoping for more 7 and were disappointed. This is an entirely different play through. Yes, it continues from 7; however, it’s not a DLC or addition to 7. Therefore, don’t buy it hoping a big vampire lady is going to be Jack for the whole game. If that’s the whole point in buying for you, then buy something else because you won’t get that. That being said, it is a good standalone continuation and the story closely follows 7. The one complaint I have is wanting more time dedicated to certain characters (I won’t be specific to prevent spoilers but it honestly is no big problem. There’s still plenty of time to enjoy said characters just wanted more.) Oh and I might have handled situations differently in the story. Then again everyone would. But this is a horror game not a choose you’re own adventure so I can’t really complain.Acting:There are some parts and scenes where I believe voice acting could’ve been better. Though, I’m no actor myself so you could say I’m an impartial judge. Otherwise, acting, motion capture, etc.. were done really well.Conclusion:Is it worth $60, absolutely! Would I buy it for cheaper? Of course but a pre-ordered it so I don’t get the luxury. After stating everything, would I buy it again? Yes, probably on a newer console but it still looks amazing on PS4 slim. Would I recommend it to someone else? 100%! What’s my rating on a scale of 1-10? 9/10. I’ll probably replay it in a few years and enjoy it all over again. Hope this review helped your choice to buy it.

This game is so entertaining! And has so much content that you wont get bored!

Great game for Resident Evil fans.

I cannot believe they made this game. It is a work of art, it is everything I wanted it to be and more. So very, very impressed. I hated number 7, thought it was the worst resident evil ever made, and they have more than redeemed themselves with this one. Fan-freakin-tastic. Genius, even. They didn’t remake number 4 but brought so many aspects of that game in you could see it around so many corners. It is reminiscent of so many of the other resident evils too. I mean, they’ve been doing this for 20(?) plus years, so of course you get good at it at some point...(they’ve always been good at it though)...It seemed like they took everything that ever worked and put it all together just for me, so thank you devs for that!2 complaints....The game is too dark. Period. I have the brightness 1 away from being turned all the way up and I have to close my curtains and turn off my lights and I still can’t see half the time. Not a deal breaker at all, just sayin. Complaint 2: Please kill Ethan winters. I do not want to play a nobody. What happened to Jake? Sherry? Claire, Chris, Leon, Jill, Ada, Carlos...(I know Jill died, bring her back!) this game has always been about stars members/police officers playing badasses/heros. Not random lame a** Ethan winters. I could go on about how much this irritates me for awhile but I will spare you. When Mia was shot at the beginning I was so happy I can’t explain it. Her plus Ethan equals worst/most boring RE characters ever. Just terrible. That being said, I am in love with this game, buy it...immediately.

My husband and I played RE 1 & 2 on the PS2 years ago and decided to pick up this title for our PS4 Pro, and we were not disappointed. I consider myself a novice gamer so we picked the casual level. Took me a while to get use to the first person view - especially walking while having the sniper riffle equipped - but as you get use to it, it really adds to the atmosphere. I enjoyed the variety the games offers: atmosphere, story, puzzles, collecting things, and the amazing graphics. Combat which is not my forte, was something I was able to even enjoy in this game on this level. Yes there are vampires and werewolves, but there are also zombies. Each boss is different and different mechanics are needed to defeat them, which was also cool and kept the game interesting and suspenseful. I really liked that each area we went to was different giving variety while staying cohesive with the story. Overall a great game for experienced and novice games alike.The game is not an open world game so it keeps you limited to the areas you should be in, which is helpful. The maps are great letting you know when you have completed each of the rooms you have been into, which ones you might have left something behind in or not completed, and ones you have not even entered. The graphics are really great, and the design detail is fantastic. The only real criticism I have is that we had to look up two or three things online (which is why I gave the game 4 stars since I could not give it a 4.5) in the first half of the game, but overall we were able to figure everything out on our own and enjoy the creepiness and surprises the game has to offer.I would recommend this game to anyone who likes atmospheric games with good graphics, good story, and a balance between combat, exploration and puzzles. Even novice gamers like myself can enjoy it and get through it on lower difficulty settings.

The game had an incredible story and beautiful atmosphere you could get lost in.

Fue probado y todo excelente

This is one of the best video games I have ever played. The sounds and atmosphere are terrifying but also beautiful at the same time. There are parts of the game that are terrifying and will have your skin crawling, but if you can get past that, it’s an amazing game built with so much thought and effort and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys video games

Venía nuevo y selladoExcelente 👌

７以降の発売分は全て北米版で購入、初見HARDCOREでクリア済み。仕様について〜今作も日本語音声と字幕にしっかり対応。○ボタンはキャンセルではなく、決定なので違和感なくプレイ出来ます。当然ながらリバースのプロテクトコードは日本のアカウントでは使えないです。そのためリバースを遊びたい、後に無料DLCが出た場合には北米版アカウントが必要になります。ゲーム内容について〜バイオ好きに分かりやすく言うと４と７のいいとこ取りをした作品です。またグラフィックの美麗さも最高クラスでラスアス２に比肩するレベル。メインとなる戦闘は７の基本システムに４の武器改造や、アタッシュケースシステムをミックスしたものになってます。しかし４ほど銃の種類は多くなく、性能比較で頭を悩ませる必要はなし。後から出るものが完全上位互換です。ここはむしろ４のハンドガンやライフルのようにもっと一長一短、ピーキーに調整してくれればプレイスタイルによる選択の楽しさがあったと思います。そして自分は初見HARDCOREを完全自力でクリアしましたが、戦闘の歯応えはかなりのモノです。ガード失敗は１度しか許されず、２回まともに被弾するとゲームオーバー。メインの敵であるランカル（人狼）は回避運動しまくりで、序盤ハンドガンがメインの時はかなり厳しいです。ただストーリーが進み武装が充実してくると、かなり自由な戦略で戦えるので厳しい戦闘もとても面白くなります。また過去のバイオハザードは主人公や舞台が変わりつつの一話完結でしたが、今回は７（イーサン）の完結編と言った内容。７のさらなる伏線回収がなされており、前作をやってるかどうかでラストの感動が大きく変わります。※一応冒頭で７の簡単なまとめムービーあり個人的に本編ストーリーの完成度は７、リベレーションズUEを凌ぐ傑作だと思います。ただ７は各種DLC、リベUEはレイドモードというオマケコンテンツも素晴しかったのですが。最後に唯一の不満とすればVR非対応だったこと。７の初見VRの衝撃が凄かったので、VillageもVRで楽しみたかったです。ただ一部ステージがブッ飛んで怖いので、VRにするとプレイ辞退者が続出したとも思われます。ただそれを差し引いても充分に★５評価ですね。

Compre el disco por que algún día lo jugare en play 5 , el juego vale mucho la pena de mis favoritos hasta el momento

RE2、RE3と北米版を買っています。北米版はやはりグラフィックや仕掛けがフルに楽しめるのがポイントだと思います。せっかく作り込まれている部分を、隠したり差し替えたりすることになった背景は理解できますが、日本はもう少し規制について、真剣に議論すべきなのではないでしょうか。肝心のゲームですが、日本版PS4無印でなんの問題もなく起動、プレイ可能です。日本語メニュー・音声もばっちり。プレイ中に重くなる、遅くなるといった事象が気になることもありません。ゲーム内容、ボリュームについては賛否両論あるところでしょうが、個人的にはとても楽しめました。・難易度ノーマル以上であれば、本作の狙いである「死にものぐるい」を感じられます。FPSを少しでも遊んだことがあるプレイヤーならノーマル以上で遊ぶことをおすすめ。・ただし、FPSが極端に苦手、もしくは遊んだことがないプレイヤーでもカジュアル難易度なら問題なく進行させられる難易度と感じました。（カジュアルは簡単すぎるような気もするくらい）・バイオらしい怖さ、シリーズやホラー映画からのオマージュっぽい仕掛けやシーンも盛りだくさんで楽しめます。・謎解き＆パズルは今回はかなり簡単＆ストレスフリーである印象。わざわざ攻略サイトを見に行く必要がなく、自分の手で「アハ体験」できるのは、素晴らしい。・クリア後のおまけ、マーセナリーズはもちろんなのだが、ボーナスコンテンツがとてもイイ。メイキング系のおまけムービーは、興味深く、面白い（笑える）。開発者の方々の想いや努力のプロセスを感じ取れる内容になっています。・PS4とPS5の縦マルチにした結果、やはりPS4版のグラフィックはちょっと見劣りするのはやむなし。PS5入手後にはPS5版を無料でDL可とのことで今からプレイが楽しみ。・そして、７で薄くなったシリーズとしての繋がりを８では再構築した（多少強引であったとしても）ことから、次作が楽しみになった。次作はPS5ネイティブで制作させることであろうことも含めて。改めてもう一度、とても楽しめました！
