Which is better, RE7 or RE Village?

Resident Evil 7 (RE7) leans into pure, claustrophobic survival horror with its intimate setting and relentless dread, focusing on resource management and atmospheric terror, while Resident Evil Village (RE8) expands into action-horror, featuring larger environments, diverse enemies (werewolves, vampires), richer lore, and greater combat variety (blocking, kicking) inspired by RE4, offering a blend of scares and epic adventure. RE7 is a tight, scary horror film; Village is a larger, more varied horror-action epic, building on RE7's engine but diverging in scope and tone.

Are RE7 and RE8 worth it?

RE7 and 8 are two very good horror games though. No doubt about that what so ever. They just feel like you're playing something totally else than a RE game. I really enjoyed 7, but thought the last section of the game kind of dragged the rest of the game down.

Should I play Resident Evil Village or biohazard first?

Yes, you should play Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (RE7) before Village (RE8) because Village is a direct sequel that continues the story and protagonist (Ethan Winters'), and while Village offers a recap, it's brief and won't provide the full impact of the returning characters and plot points from RE7. Playing RE7 first offers a much richer, more immersive experience for the lore, character development, and emotional weight in Village, making the story more meaningful.
