Is this game really worth $80?

I mean I know streamers are buying the crap out of it because its their job but I literally seen that there is an achievement for beating the game under 3 hours.

If you take your time like I did without skipping sections and trying to find collectables it'll last you between 10 and 12 hours. That doesn't mean you have to play like a turtle it just means that you have to care about exploring each area.

People are going to have mixed opinions. For me, I got what was probably the best Resident Evil game that I've played. The environments are varied, with their visual designs sometimes reminding me of old 90's point and click adventure games. I loved the story, but I suggest playing Resident Evil 7 first -- but there's a recap if you don't want to.

For me it was worth it. But I love the series, and I got out of it some of the best art and storytelling that I've gotten out of a game since BioShock. It has some genuinely scary moments too. It is a little short and sweet but the areas are quite large and varied with plenty to explore. It will last you a lot longer than three hours, promise.

No game is worth that much.....

[NASTY CORNDOG]

Nope, wait for a sale.

BTW I paid $47.05 for it and feel that I overpaid $ 7.05 for it. I am loving the game though.

Of course there's an achievement for beating it fast. It's an RE game. Speedruns are a thing, and usually the key to getting unlocks. (See: RE2make for an example.)

Game is generally ~8 if you're being relatively thorough on a first time playthrough.

Honestly I would say no, but it's your call. It's a reasonably well put together experience. It's not really survival horror; first half is hiding and puzzle solving, while the second half is DOOM with worse guns. There's very little sense of exploration, almost no resource management, etc.

But you're paying for is the graphics, story, attention to detail, etc.

I'm about 7-ish hours in and clearly have a good 4-ish hours left (it's obvious when you play the game how far you have left). The game also have plenty of replay value with harder difficulties and upgrades and collectable content to get you might've missed on a second playthrough.
Add in Mercenaries mode after you beat the campaign which is like another hour at minimum if you only try it out a few times. Buy the game at 60USD and you're gonna get a solid 20 hours of pretty good content where everything is worth doing. I'd personally take that 20 hours of solid content over something like Assassin's Creed which has 80 hours of pretty ♥♥♥♥ content and boring travel and grind.

standart edition is 59,99 on steam
like every other game on the planet

the deluxe bundle for 80 bucks has season pass included (and other stuff) and ofc you gonna pay more for that
again, like every other game on the planet

I'd say it's worth $20. There's a bunch of replay value attempted but the game is not variable enough to make "replay with different guns" an interesting notion.

This game is not $80.
That is the price of the RE 7 + RE 8 bundle. Resident Evil Village is $60.

Edit: intended or not, the RE 7 + 8 bundle pops up on store search instead of the standard $60 bundle with just RE 8 + RE: Verse. Go to the game’s page for the standard edition.

Nope, somewhere around 20-30 euros. Graphics and cutscenes are nice but it feels like it needs more original content

There is no season pass for this game. The $80 bundle includes RE 8 and RE 7, plus the RE 7 season pass.

Not everyone lives in US. It is $80 canadian which is pretty much overpriced.

Ahh ok, that makes more sense then. Steam ffs deal with that ♥♥♥♥ lol. Your losing customers FFS.

A re game is only worth it if you keep playing it instead of only running one playthrough.
