Why I HATE Resident Evil 8 Village

Resident Evil 8 is evaluated as a major disappointment not worth £50, receiving a 1.1 out of 10 score due to its first-person perspective, lack of defining franchise identity and atmosphere, combat mechanics, werewolf enemies, Romanian village setting, visual fidelity, and PS5 controller features.

The game, alongside Resident Evil 7, diverges significantly from classic early installments in narrative, enemies, atmosphere, and camera angles, alongside broader criticisms of modern game pricing and the disappearance of free demos.

Assessments of specific elements target the rural Romanian setting over urban and laboratory locations, bullet-sponge horse-riding werewolf enemies, bland PS5 graphics, adaptive triggers, opening narrative events involving Chris Redfield, fungal origins, and healing mechanics.
