More about Resident Evil Village

Critics scored it 83. Players sit 13 points higher at 96 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 797 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 6 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,274 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 3,235 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

The main story runs 9.9 hours. Doing everything runs 38, 3.9 times as long.

156,771 reviews stand behind that percentage.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

One of the best *Resident Evil* games-if not the best. It never gets boring; it's packed with plenty of solid puzzles and genuine horror moments. While it may be less frightening than *Resident Evil 7*, it still holds its own. The segments where you play as Chris are an absolute blast-the game really hits its stride toward the end. The finale is very satisfying, albeit a bit sad. The story frequently throws in...

This was tons of fun. At first I was skeptical, my first playthrough just wasn't what I was hoping for, but perhaps that was me still getting used to this different resident evil that we were used too. Playthrough after playthrough after playthrough, I fell in love with the game. This perhaps might be in my top 3 of resident evil games. I just got lost into the game, spending hours, trying to complete everything the...

The Story of Gaming's Greatest Dad When Capcom first introduced Ethan Winters in Resident Evil 7, a lot of us saw him as an empty vessel-a faceless, ordinary guy thrust into a nightmare with a taped-on hand. But by the time the credits roll on Resident Evil Village and its Shadows of Rose DLC, Ethan isn't just another Resident Evil protagonist. He isn't a boulder-punching superhuman like Chris or an acrobatic agent...
