    I kind of liked it but I can't recommend it for $60. It's a breath of fresh air for the series but I think the game is a year or two late. It has a good atmosphere but so do a lot of $15-$30 horror/walking games on Steam. It adds little new to the table besides an alright (kind of slow/clunky at times) combat system. Had it been $30 I'd say go for it.

    3 hours was all I could stomach from RE7. After 3 hours of crawling around a Scary House™, looking for keys like it's 1998, dealing with horrendous laggy shooting controls combined with such severe ammo shortage that if you miss a couple of shots you might as well reload and lose 20 minutes of progress... being chased by the same immortal hillbilly grandpa over and over again and3 hours was all I could stomach from RE7.

    Why keep playing this? For the archaic gameplay? For the repetitive bossfights with glitchy "mechanics"? (Oh I'm sure I'd get to fight hillbilly grandma too later on, does she go "YEEHAWWW AMA GIT YOU SON" while she's chasing you as well? Terrific). For the horror? There is no horror. Have you seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Good, now watch it again. How scared do you feel the 5th time you watch it? This is how scary this game is, because everything feels like a copy of a copy of a reference to a western horror b-movie. Repetitive, boring and annoying as hell to play. Stay away.    … Expand

    There is no psychological aspect of the story, no clever symbolism, no eerie atmosphere, and no memorable characters. There is only pointless struggle with enemies that are invulnerable until the plot says otherwise, everything is scripted and linear, and all the "difficulty" comes from clumsy tank-like gamepad controls that are defacto standard for console FPS games. You cannot properly aim with the gamepad, but if you opt for the mouse, it only mimics gamepad analog sticks, so you get a molasses-slow aiming with tons of lag as a bonus.

    If you like heaps of innards, livers, lungs, blood, cheap sadism and jumpscare scenes, then by all means go for it and buy the game. It's one of the few titles that made me physically nauseated, which is an unique achievement.

    If you seek something like Evil Within or Silent Hill, stay away, this game is as brainless as its characters.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is an atrocious abomination of a once-great franchise. The game has no story or plot relevant to the rest of the Resident Evil universe. Every character is forgettable and generic and again has no connection to the entire RE story as a whole; Ethan is about as memorable as a wet paper towel. Capcom also lied about a returning character. Don't bother.

    RESIDENT EVIL VII is not scary, often times you'll be laughing because it is ridiculous. It's just full of predictable cheap jump scares and illogical BS, for instance you get your hand hacked off - no problem, just staple it back on, 2 minutes later it's as if nothing ever happened. Chainsaw wounds? No problem! Just eat an herb: insta-heal!
    Graphics are advertised as photo realistic - what a joke! Just look at the washed-out textures and you'll come to the conclusion that some games of 2015 look much better than this 2017 release! Then there's plenty of clipping errors - for scripted sequences!
    The playable character Ethan along with all the others are just bland stereotypes, especially the Texas Chainsaw family - I mean the Baker family. Dialogues are just atrocious and make no sense (Ethan's girlfriend urging Ethan to come save her, but not to come. Huh?!).
    You get one horror cliche following a jump scare, followed by more cliches. I did enjoy RESIDENT EVIL 1 & 2 when they came out in the 1990s. The recent RESIDENT EVIL 2 remake is pretty good with a mod that takes out the annoying Mr. X/Tyrant and gets rid of those horrible camera angles and the crappy aiming of the 90s games. It is good to do something new with RE 7, by ditching 3rd person POV for a 1st person experience, but man did Capcom **** to bed with the story!

    BRAVO!! as a day one fan this game is what we wanted after 1,2,3 & CV before it drifted away with 4,5 &6 and became a non horror game which were CoD like with no real survival. 7 brought the series back on it's feet!!

    the formula is finally once again: low ammo, survival, some riddles (could be more and more difficult) and maybe the best setting ever. THAT is what RE should look like.

    A well made horror game with a good story and maybe a bit confusing in the beginning for the RE fans and I think makers must be careful, cuz they are opening a new door in RE game series. It was nice and fun after all and I liked it. I wish the best for them.

    Story is very ok, just a little lightweight, but fully enough. Presentation is great. Some puzzles were mixed in. The whole game seems to be deliberately cut in quantity, but upped in quality, which I think is a great direction. A bit more variety and length, but less horror would have suited me more (that would be some Resident Evil 4 - 2 then), but this was really something worth playing for once again.    … Expand

Por último, en cuanto a la duración del mismo, a mi me ha durado en "normal" (en una primer vuelta no puedes elegir la dificultad más elevada, si no que se te desbloquea al terminar la primera vez) exactamente 9 horas y 31 minutos, osea que no está mal para un videojuego de estas características... Si le tengo que poner alguna pega, y de ahí el 8, serían los cuelgues y ralentizaciones que sufre en ocasiones (sin necesidad), el que haya muy poca variedad de monstruos y el que cuando corres, no sé, si mi vida dependiera de ello, os aseguro que correría mucho más que el protagonista, porque telita...

    Resident Evil 7 - a nice update of the series. The sixth part finally turned into a stupid action, revelations and revelations 2 was a good branches, and I enjoyed playing in them, waiting here. But resident evil has become monotonous and dull, to scare us long ceased. Resident Evil 7 was a new look to the series.
    Don't know whether it was necessary to attribute the number 7, because the    Resident Evil 7 - a nice update of the series. The sixth part finally turned into a stupid action, revelations and revelations 2 was a good branches, and I enjoyed playing in them, waiting here. But resident evil has become monotonous and dull, to scare us long ceased. Resident Evil 7 was a new look to the series.
    Don't know whether it was necessary to attribute the number 7, because the game is not related to the series (behind small exceptions). The game could be the next spin-off, but Capcom decided to emphasize the importance of this game. Let's be honest - the first-person view, the developers certainly made for VR. Well, okay, the more the mansion is much nicer to explore in the first person: you can carefully examine all, and to literally feel yourself in the shoes of Ethan - graphics in this game are extremely good, and the VR effect of immersion increase, so the first person can be forgiven.
    Types of enemies are few, they are in essence 2 kinds: pleskavica and the Bakers, insects too, but they do not want for enemies to count. Plesnevyj 4 types: regular, long arm, blade, fast and puking. Diversity there are no enemies at all. Where are the least dogs? From the Bakers I liked Jack - it is a colorful boss, a real maniac. His wife me no problems at all, delivered, and location with it is extremely easy. Their son is even worse - shoot bombs and solve puzzles. Yes, in this game the enemies are not very specified. Many claim that zombies do not exist. Well, they are with us long gone. 4 parts were parasites, revelations 1-2 is also not a zombie.
    Puzzles... We all remember the demo beginning hour with the cassette and different puzzles. Nothing like that in the game there. Easier puzzles I have not seen. And magazines is very small, I thought they were going to play a big role, or will have to know the background (Yes, we just get previous events, but this is not enough).
    Resident Evil 7 not Outlast, we here give enough to shoot, and we hide only in the first third of the game. The last third of the fully action - it's not what you would expect. For me, the best part of the game - before leaving the house with three goals. Then not so scared for his life, although the atmosphere remains. It is a pity that the developers again decided that once the game is in first person, it is possible not to prescribe the main character, because the player will be easier with him associated. And we got a little emotional Ethan: cut off the hand, whatever, this every day; cut down leg - don't care; wife crazy - 4ack. Yeah, he's not the most silent, and sometimes says something, but not enough.
    Resident Evil 7 will make you survive, to scare would be, too, but mostly Boo moments. The game is very atmospheric, even when there are no enemies, you're still scared by different sounds, and the unknown dark passage ahead. The game keeps the tension, though by the end you will run and shoot all at times two. The game should have ended on the departure of Ethan with his wife (or her), or add more of the same frightening and atmospheric moments as before. But after the blame game don't want to, I want to go again the atmospheric part of the house. Recommend to beat the game is the best survival horror in recent years, soak up the atmosphere, slowly explore the house, this is not the same resident evil, but give him a chance.    … Expand

Tiene todos los elementos de la saga, comenzando con el más básico de todos: la ambientación del juego en general acompañada con una banda sonora, si bien no magnífica, acorde a lo que sucede en torno al título. En ningún momento pude sentirme relajado, a pesar de que no hubiese nadie en la misma habitación donde me encontraba y no sentía eso desde los primeros juegos (compréndase RE 0, 1, 2 y 3). Si bien el juego no destaca por su historia, allí está y está bien lograda, exceptuando algunos casos pero dentro de todo está bien. Otro elemento clásico de la saga, también presente en este título es la existencia de una corporación "X" que desarrolla un virus y que planea utilizarlo como armamento militar, esto deriva en la creación de las conocidas B.O.W (aunque no son zombies, hay BioArmas y eso es lo importante) que, a pesar de ser un único tipo y no haber muchas variantes entre estas, están introducidas correctamente en el juego. La gestión clásica del inventario hace presencia nuevamente para ponerlos en situaciones de peligro la mayoría de las veces. Tenemos que ser muy cuidadosos con lo que guardamos en el inventario ya que contaremos con un espacio reducido para guardar objetos (aunque no tan reducido como los primeros juegos) y posteriormente podremos aumentar esos espacios dándonos un abanico de posibilidades dentro del inventario como pasaba por ejemplo con Resident Evil 4. Los jefes y enemigos están puestos en lugares específicos dispuestos a hacerte la vida imposible y no siempre podrás usar la fuerza bruta con ellos yendo con tus armas dispuesto a disparar sino que en ocasiones tendrás que pensar un poco y evadir el peligro. Las armas y los objetos que están dispersados a lo largo y ancho del mapa también son algo que destacar, hay variedad de armas y todas son obtenibles para usar en el momento que uno quiera, pero claro, tendrás que administrar tus recursos y a veces dejar algún arma para conservar otra y para eso están los clásicos Baúles, que nos permiten alojar objetos en él con la intención de liberar espacio en nuestro inventario pero sin perder el objeto en cuestión (ya que al descartar un objeto ya no puede recuperarse). Las balas, los elementos de curación y otros objetos varios serán de vital importancia para el desarrollo del juego. Si bien no escasean las balas, tampoco abundan, es como un balance bien logrado entre los primeros juegos y los últimos, quedándose en el medio en lo que a munición se refiere. Cuando nos sobren las balas podremos estar tranquilos y darnos el lujo de gastarlas porque aparecerán más, cuando estamos con la cantidad justa de balas, lo más conveniente es hacer que cada disparo cuente. Todos estos, entre otros, hacen de este título un digno merecedor del nombre y del legado de la saga. Si hay detalles a mencionar que no están buenos, como por ejemplo que hay un momento en particular donde la historia da un giro radical y cambia todo lo que conocíamos y eso se siente bastante forzado, también el hecho de que para los gráficos que tiene no es un juego que valga la pena por 60 dólares y el hecho más molesto del juego es que los dlc que vienen en el season pass no vengan incluidos en el juego, si bien el juego no depende de estos dlcs porque el juego SI está completo, hubiera sido bueno que los dlcs los incluyeran en la versión final y no tener que pagar 30 dólares más por el Season Pass solo por 3 dlcs que no aportan gran cosa a lo visto anteriormente, en este sentido creo que el golpe de efecto lo dará el dlc gratuito "Not a Hero" ya que presume continuar lo que sería la historia principal comenzando desde el final del juego mismo (hablaré de él cuando salga y del 3er dlc del Season Pass también). Y por último, pero no menos importante... Es un juego muy corto para personas acostumbradas al género. Que quiero decir con esto? una persona promedio, que no juega demasiado este tipo de juegos, puede demorar entre 8 y 13 horas en terminarlo, lo cual es un tiempo bastante decente para un título como este. Pero si por el contrario, ya se tiene experiencia en juegos así, entonces perfectamente el juego se puede terminar en 4 horas o menos dando por resultado un juego corto para usuarios experimentados en el género, hubiera estado mejor si hubiera sido más largo, pero creo que está bastante bien. En un todo el juego está muy bien pero esos puntos hacen que mi calificación no sea perfecta. Quiero destacar que este Análisis lo hago después de haber pasado el juego en las 3 dificultades disponibles, además de haber jugado los 2 dlcs salidos al día de hoy que son Banned Footage Vol 1 y Banned Footage Vol2.… Expand

    Magnificent technical realization. Many moments of tension. Unfortunately the game is too easy, and the script pretty dirty. The survival mode is what should really have been the game.
    It is not worth buying it unless it is on sale. Pay attention to me and you will save money.

    It didn't have the sheer terror factor that say, Silent Hill Shattered Memories had on me, with faceless goons chasing you through seemingly endless labyrinths. This is more of an acceptable, typical exploration, loot, and escape game. I don't think there was ever a point where I didn't want to go forward because I was too afraid, it keeps the scares tame, and the action and tension high. Gore plays a part, but it's well placed in a way to show you how savage the bakers are, and to establish exactly what will happen when they catch you.

    The scares don't come from Jump Scares and extreme gore, as many others have said, but actually from nuanced sound effects, and the unexpected placement of the baker family. You never know when you turn a corner whether you're going to meet Mad Jack, the invulnerable farm-dad with his big old pitchfork, or Marguerite, the lantern carrying cockroach vomiting bug woman, or your psycho ass girlfriend.

    You'll be creeping along hoping none of the baker's hear you, when the floorboards will creak, or a window will rattle at you. Most of the time, but not always, it's nothing but the wind, but it keeps you on edge regardless.

    The plot feels like it could have used more work, given as the majority of it is explained in a number of books near the end of the game, instead of learned throughout. Some characters, such as Zoe, also feel shoehorned in just to give the player a purpose to "go forward". It's also inconsistent in it's storytelling, noting at one point that "you can't cure them because the infection has been in them for too long", while in the DLC you realise that the person who "can" be cured, was infected the very same day.

    Overall though, a lacking plot and Zoe aside, the game fluidly transitions from an alien isolation style escape game into a call of duty shooter, with the theme of the Evil Dead heavily worked in. It's a great play, and easy to stay engaged in from the very start to the very finish.

    Not a must-play, but certainly a good few hours of enjoyable house-escape nonsense.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I recommend this game BUT I was VERY close to not recommending it.

    I am totally divided by this game. I don't really care about the new direction. They wanted a change they decided on first person. That is fine.

    The visuals were great, it ran well enough on my GTX 1070 and i5 6400, that I could run it at 60fps, 1440p with everything on max except AA and then I even bumped the resolution scaling up a couple of notches as well. So it runs very well indeed.

    I enjoyed the throw backs to the original Resi games. Although I think some were a little TOO familiar. Swapping a shotgun with a broken one for example. Stupid and lacking creativity.

    It was also WAY too easy. Not combat wise that was fine but puzzle wise it was kind of pathetic. Basically didn't need a brain to play this. Never once did I even need to think about a puzzle. You find something that you need and more often than not you will be handed that exact thing not a minute later. Which boils it down to a straight action game for the most part.

    Story wise it was okay. I do like that they are trying to tie it into the main franchise. I personally loved the originals and while it will never match the T-virus Racoon City story arches trying to get it in there somewhere is fine by me.

    What I didn't really like was The Bakers and Eveline. I just think the entire premise is crap. The stupid sludge enemies are lame. Didn't scare me in the slightest. In the originals you had the T-virus which was applied in LOADS of different ways. It spawned grey heads, crimson heads, dogs, spiders, crows, lickers, giant plants, sharks, Tyrant, Nemesis.

    In this game you have a few red necks, a little girl that voms black stuff and a load of black blobs. So unimaginative!!!!

    And speaking of not scaring people. This game's ONLY scare mechanic is jump scares which makes me feel like they are totally out of ideas already. Jump scares stopped being scary about 10 years ago. EVERYONE jumps at jump scares it is evolutionary. It is also a cliche and out of date. Move on and do something different.

    The dialogue in this game is f***ing terrible. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chases his lost girlfriend right into the middle of a swamp and NOT once did he really ask why. It was like he is a puppet. Being pushed along by the player. Never really questioning why anything is the way it is. He's pathetic.

    That part with the police officer OMFG!! Some of the most pointless lines ever spoken in a game. That part was just totally unnecessary and boring.

    Really not a fan of the respawning enemies as well. Smash a guy's head in with a car and some girders and he just comes back again. BORING!!

    Also having it in first person and this guy's total lack of any human features makes it nearly impossible to give a single shred of a f**k about what happens to him. He could have died at the end and I wouldn't have cared. He just doesn't act HUMAN! No one would act like he does in this game.

    Also that stupid "choice" they give you between saving Zoe or.......(I've actually forgotten her name that is how forgettable she was) the other one. I've never been given a choice in a game I've cared SO LITTLE ABOUT. He should have left them both there. At least then they'd have some company.

    It was all just so forgettable. So uninteresting. TOTALLY overhyped.

    The best standout moment for me was the young guy's mazes/puzzles. With the birthday cake. THAT was pretty good. I enjoyed that.

    But everything else I was just going through the motions. There are also some really crappy things like at the end when you are flying away on the helicopter and there is emotional classical music playing. It is totally out of place. There was nothing epic about that ending. Like I said I felt nothing for the c**t you played as and I honestly was kind of glad it was over. Some of the creepy Marylin Manson music from the movies would have gone down a lot better.

    I don't know I just honestly don't think I'll remember much about this game in a few weeks. It's already starting to fade. I actually needed to force myself to keep playing it at some points. I turned it off for bed and then didn't touch it again for a few days.

    This is far from the worst game ever but it is a LONG way from the best games. It is a LONG way from the originals as well. It's worth playing but not remembering.    … Expand

    There's an awesome Chainsaw Massacre and a bit of a True Detective feel in this game. Maybe because of the dark and creepy atmosphere.

    Resident Evil 7 gets off to a great, if hackneyed start, piling on atmosphere, gruesome details and a sense of vulnerability that unfortunately starts to give way once the combat becomes established, weapons and ammunition become increasingly plentiful (comically so in the third act, with the addition of a rapid fire weapon with hundreds of rounds just lying around). The game's strengths,Resident Evil 7 gets off to a great, if hackneyed start, piling on atmosphere, gruesome details and a sense of vulnerability that unfortunately starts to give way once the combat becomes established, weapons and ammunition become increasingly plentiful (comically so in the third act, with the addition of a rapid fire weapon with hundreds of rounds just lying around). The game's strengths, if not in it's unremarkable writing (so far, so Resident Evil, in that regard) are in the sparsity but intensity of the encounters in the first half of the game, largely revolving around a few distinct characters (or at least two of them - with a tanker-ship sized plot hole simply leaving one antagonist floating somewhere in the ether, never to be discussed ever again). The relatively small variety of creatures to deal with, all of which are less than challenging to dispatch, are also fairly similar, and familiar, and after the initial shock encounters lead into repetitive headshot after headshot, the tension dissipates rapidly. Boss encounters are also a mixed bag, the first two being staggered and increasingly weird affairs, eventually becoming trad-Resident Evil Giant Monster Eye Target Practice. It's so badly in contrast with the claustrophobic, minimalist approach at the beginning of the game that it yanks you out of the experience.

    All this being said, though, I had fun, even if it wasn't as consistently thrilling and genuinely uncomfortable as Alien: Isolation. The first half of the game plays brilliantly, full of tension and every corner of the Baker residence is a curiosity, lovingly rendered in explicit, grimy, mouldy detail. The environmental design throughout is exceptional, bar for the closing chapters which revolve around bland metal corridors and caves. If this wasn't a Resident Evil franchise entry, however, I suspect the developers could have gone in more interesting directions, instead of falling back upon overly familiar tropes as fan service. More than once whilst playing, I reminisced on what Silent Hills could have been had Konami not taken the vexing and perverse decision to cancel it. Ultimately, the unlimited weirdness of Silent Hill, combined with Junji Ito imagery and Del Toro narrative flair, would have been a more truly unique game - Resident Evil 7 largely feels like a bag of horror cliches, better executed than most but beholden to a franchise known for poor writing and characterisation, that is getting increasingly long in the tooth.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 4, I have to say that Capcom did an incredible job bringing back the series to it's survival horror roots. While I am only 4 hours through the game, I will separate what I love from what I hated, and update the review further as I progress.

    *Pros - The game gives you the illusion of safety through high ammo counts, but as soon as    As a huge fan of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 4, I have to say that Capcom did an incredible job bringing back the series to it's survival horror roots. While I am only 4 hours through the game, I will separate what I love from what I hated, and update the review further as I progress.

    *Pros

    - The game gives you the illusion of safety through high ammo counts, but as soon as Jack or the molded enemies appear, you go through ammo so fast without even realizing it, leading you to helplessly run or stand your ground, pull out your knife, and do it the old fashioned way.

    - Puzzles are back, and although most are not nearly as complex as previous examples, they are always satisfying to solve and never make you feel dumb or frustrated.

    - Jack, the "daddy" of the family, is one scary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. He's relentless, and doesn't let up unless you cap him in the head a few times, or in the body multiple times. His dialogue is great, and sometimes even lessens the tension with his humor, before he smacks you with his shovel to get you serious again. He's unpredictable, and isn't just out to kill you, but taunt and toy with you as well.

    - Detail inside of the house is beautifully horrifying, from it's hallways covered in mold to it's dinner tables covered in entrails, the Baker house is always keeping you on the edge of your seat.

    - Plenty of collectibles to find during your journey, and some of them reward you greatly if you can find enough! Also, lockpicks are a big part in this game, but are very limited. So you need to pick and choose what you decide to unlock. You usually end up in a situation where there are 3 things you need to unlock, but you only have one lockpick.

    - PC optimization is great! Plenty of graphics options, uncapped framerate, Gsync support for the real enlightened PC gamers out there, as well as resolutions up to 4K and HBAO+ AO for Nvidia users.

    *Cons

    - Some character models kind of look odd. Something about Marguerite Baker in particular just looks out of place. Her face looks like shes had 500 plastic surgeries done and it's just ugly to look at. I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but I wish it was a little better.

    - Sometimes it's just TOO ♥♥♥♥ing dark. Like I want to play on the recommended brightness, but it makes item discovery 10x harder when you can barely see. I don't know why the flashlight is something only the game can turn on instead of something you can turn on and off whenever you please.

    - There are some textures that really look awful. I thought the PC version would alleviate this, but a PC can only put as much effort in as the developers did. Still better on PC with high refresh rates, game runs like butter.

    Overall, I am totally LOVING this game so far. I think it's absolutely phenomenal and worth every penny. Please don't hold out and risk getting spoiled! If you're interested, buy it now.

    5 hours in, Resident Evil VII is a clear 10/10 for me. Here's to hoping something further down the line won't ruin that for me.    … Expand

Quickly that optimism gave way to frustration, the cause of which I will explain in the following three paragraphs. I forced myself to push through that frustration, though, and in hindsight I'm glad I did. By the final third the game had won me over. Without further ado, here is what my journey through Resident Evil 7 was like:

    Most of the combat in the first several hours involved boss characters, specifically the various members of the family inhabiting the series of buildings in which the beginning part was set. I did not enjoy these parts of the game. You see, in RE7 the main antagonists are somehow able to reassemble themselves after serious injuries. I mean extreme mutilation and loss of limb, not just mere bullet wounds or broken bones. It was frustrating for me to think I had defeated a boss only for them to return later, even more powerful than they were before.

    I nearly lost all patience with the second boss who required an obscene amount of firepower to defeat. I swear I unloaded four or five tanks of flamethrower fuel, multiple shotgun shells and 44 magnum rounds, everything I brought with me PLUS what I could find in the area where the battle took place. Still, this was not enough. I ended up having to go back to an earlier area and unlock the grenade launcher, which enabled me to deal sufficient damage and overcome that boss.

    In addition, the early parts of RE7 did not run very well on my system. With a GTX 970, 16GB RAM and an i5 4690k I should not have experienced frequent drops in the framerate, especially considering I had several settings either turned off or set to low. However, later parts performed much better, probably due to the fact that the environment became darker, less intricately detailed, and more confined.

    It wasn't just the performance that improved after about 7 hours. I also found the gameplay and story much more enjoyable. RE7 really found it's footing in the final third, starting with the boat section and up to the ending. I felt that on the boat I was experiencing high quality survival horror gameplay. The game gave me just enough resources to squeak my way through and required a good deal of planning before making my next move. Eventually I found a machine gun and remote bombs and got to feel powerful for a little while before that part of the game came to an end. My only complaint regarding the boat section is that it was arguably the least visually interesting of all the environments RE7 offered.

    I would describe the rest of RE7 as competent and generally enjoyable. After the boat there was a brief section in a mine which lasted only for about an hour. I don't have much to say about that part except that it had some intense moments of combat with multiple enemies attacking at once.

    The final part of RE7 was even shorter than the mine. There was no combat outside of the final boss battle, which I did not find very compelling. First I had to chase them back and forth across the game's beginning stage, a rather tedious affair. Once I finally confronted them I only had to shoot them in the face a dozen times or so and that was all. I only died once and felt very little satisfaction when I defeated them. There was a nice little plot twist involving this final boss, though, so at least it had that going for it.

    To quickly conclude my review I will say that RE7 certainly had its moments of well-executed survival horror and is in my opinion the best game in the main series since 4. It's unfortunate that it took several hours to get to those moments, and that most of them occured in the most visually boring setting of the entire game. If you're willing to look past the flaws I've pointed out then this game could be worth giving a chance, especially if you can get it on sale like I did.    … Expand

    Its a weird not very RE sense of horror, less dependent on what made RE horror great and more on Outlasts based psychological, gore based horror which just doesn't fit for RE. Outlast and Silent Hill have much starker tones that are much darker than RE therefore it feels "tryhard" dramatic to me.

    The difficulty was meh, enemies are pretty weak if you land headshots and spawn in very predictable places, they cannot open doors so your safe near a doorway this is barely an exploit and more a poor game mechanic. Again the "boss fights" play like Outlasts main antagonists except you have weapons, without spoiling anything they're ok to inferior DOOM and yeah you can start to see the tonal dissonance here you have "boss fights", this isn't DOOM this is a super serious horror game where you save your wife. The puzzles are relatively easy but there's next to none compared to previous RE titles so they're nearly non-existent.

    The game play mechanics of run and hide and even level design as well as lighting all echo the design of Outlast but its still a pretty good game overall with smooth controls and decent combat rewarding accuracy with headshots I never had a problem with low ammo. The story is absolute nonsense and the massive lack of originality makes this game in no way related to the RE franchise. Its not worth the full price but on a 30-50% special definitely, the graphics alone are beautiful and warrant its purchase in part. Its an absolute far cry from P.T and Silent Hills atmosphere, more a very unusual "Japanesey" Outlast with a mediocre, downright cartoonish story that's unintentionally hilarious at times due to this tonal dissonance. Overall I still enjoyed it though, I just wish it wasn't attached with the label RE and had some trace of originality to bolster it. It could stand alone as its own goofy title like Deadly Premonition.    … Expand

    It is not really frightening. Usually you can think what will pass when you go for a long walk or open a door. The game itself is too short. It's too fast and has not given me any real reason to play it again. If you want to buy the game I can only say buy it on the PS4. Best with VR.

This is a great direction for the series. It isn't the first time Resident Evil went first person (that honor goes to "Survivor" on PS One), so it isn't like it's some bold new experiment. Just a step in the right direction the series desperately needed.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 takes from some of the best horror movies and places you right in the centre. There are clear influences of the classics, such as, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Blair Witch and The Exorcist. But also uses a lot of psychological tension to build atmosphere, with great sound design always leaving you on edge. I recommend this game to all horror fans. .

    + The original level design (spooky mansions, underground passages, laboratories) and map interconnectivity (a very good one) is here.
    + After a long time, the puzzles are back! There could be more of them, but I was happy with what I've encountered, as they seemed really logically placed.
    + Story-line is still based on the same themes - bio viruses and secret organizations.
    + Classic RE weapons are present, bosses are cool - especially Jack - a video game manifestation of T-1000. The last boss could've been better, but it did not ruin the game experience in any way.
    + The enemies (despite the small variety) are challenging and terrifying, also the dismembering physics is a great add on.
    + The game has a big replayability factor with different modes (and a free story DLC coming up in Spring).

    In my book it was RE 3: Nemesis as the last true RE game, afterwards the series lost it's appeal as a survival horror game. Though RE 4 was a good action game, it was a big departure gameplay/story wise from the main series and could've been titled as a spin-off (if RE 5 hadn't come out). Resident Evil 7 is a great comeback, a true sequel to longtime RE fans. It's very immersive, really fun, hard (on mad house difficulty), it uses classic RE formula, but enhances it with it's modern changes (great engine, first person view, a new twist in the story). After I finished RE 7, I decided to revisit RE2 & RE3 (since I played the RE1 rewmake not so long ago) and now I'd even dare to say that this title can truly tie for being the best RE to date.    … Expand

    I have been dissapointed with RE ever since RE5 released. That game diluted the franchise, removed atmosphere and puzzles instead focuing on action. And then came RE6 wich was even worse and the god awful spinoffs.
    This game actually has atmosphere and again a throwback to playing smart and micromanage your inventory etc. It also modernised the combat and put you in a first person view although it is by no means a first person shooter.
    It is very different from previous RE titles and at times it seems this horror game is about the supernatural instead of the biological explanations that has always been there in RE games.

    Personally I'd prefer this game to be a spinoff of the main franchise rather than a numbered game in the franchise because it does differ ALOT from both those expecting something like the good old days RE1-4 and Code Veronica, and from those expecitng an action game like RE5-6. And I think alot of the dissapointment from the exaggerated scores of 0 and 1 comes from just that, it beeing to different from those games. And the tieins to the RE world and old games are very minor to be even worth mentioning.
    It is very similar to other horror titles available though. Particularly on pc, cues from the style of Amnesia and Outlast are obvious, only with combat added. But make no mistake, on it's own it IS good. And had it not been a RE game alot of the same people trashing it now would score it alot higher.

    I enjoyed it enough to play through it three times. My first on normal, my second on madhouse wich had shifted around enemies and items and my third as a speedrun on easy. Making a different choice in two of the playthroughs to se both endings.

    My main issues with this game are not enough varied enemies, choices that really only result in a very slight difference to the story and gameplay, even the endings are very similar aswell and very little tie in to RE world and previous games for it to be a numbered game in the franchise.

    Performance wise on my trusted soon 4yo rig, i7 4770K, 16GB RAM and GTX TITAN Black it ran at locked 60fps at maxed out 1080p. No drops whatsoever, no bugs and no crashes. I'd like a few more pc options but overall I'm very happy with the pc version of this game.

    If you love games like outlast, amnesia etc. and are not tired of them this game is for you. It adds combat but otherwise works in the same vein. If you are more into RE5-6 style gameplay, more into action than setting and "horror" then this is not for you.    … Expand

Since you're actually controlling the character, the horror produced by games always beat the most intense movie for me. Since RE:1 few games have recreated that level of dread. Outlast and Layers of Fear did great jobs of creating that same experience. However, they both had much smaller budgets than RE7. So Capcom has made a highly polished gem of horror and fear. They have created a game that is difficult but not unfair with a great plot and fun play mechanics. The fact that your character is not a special forces soldier or even a cop, means that you spend as much time hiding and planning your next move, as you do shooting or hacking at the enemy. Also, the relate-ability of the character to non-combat trained people adds to sense of fear through familiarity. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 10/10 is some of the boss battles didn't fit with the feeling and theme of the overall game.… Expand

The visual jump scares seldom feel cheap in part due to the masterful sound design. Making people jump isn’t a difficult task. However, making people terrified to progress the plot is a daunting task to pull off. Resident Evil 7 absolutely succeeds in pulling off what developer/publisher Capcom set out to accomplish. After the failure of RE6, the need for the series to return to the survival horror genre became clear. Horror is all about maintaining an atmosphere. Walking down a corridor, Ethan Winter (the surrogate for the player) might hear some variety of crash off in the next room or in the room above. The mansion is lived in (a slightly inaccurate phrase) and a sense of foreboding never escapes the player except for around the ending. The sound design mixed in with phenomenal limited lighting merge in encouraging the player never be overconfident in a given environment. Unlike previous entries, the locations are realistically scaled down. The Baker homestead never features a room or ground that feels out of place. In other words, the property is very much one might find in reality. Conversely, the game’s need to feature a puzzle at every turn suspends belief every once in awhile. In the end, the limited environmental scope aids in augmenting the horror. The developers painstakingly created the home to a disturbing degree. Every nook and cranny of the home serve a purpose in telling the Baker family’s story. The player is rewarded at great cost for exploring the environment. In addition, the exploration feeds into a very enjoyable item management system. All of the items encountered are useful. In order to make backpack space, the player has to really decide what is the most useful item in a given situation. Looking through your inventory doesn’t stop the game time. You could be looking at the very low ammo of a given gun and suddenly come under attack. In most fights, the best solution is often to run away until a more advantageous moment. The narrative lasts little more than ten hours. The duration of the experience ensures the plot never drags or overstays its welcome. The mysteries of the circumstances surrounding Ethan Walker are more than enough to ensure the player fights their fear. The player won’t be able to stop themselves from enjoying their twisted adventure with the Baker family. The PC version is optimized.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este es el claro ejemplo de un caso en el que los bugs en lugar de quitar puntps, suman puntos. Me explico... Este juego dice ser "Survival Horro", pero lo único disfrutable de este juego es la acción, el Survival (no survival horror, survival porque te escasean las balas, pero no horror porque en ni 1 solo momento da miedo ni desesperacion o algo parecido a esto), y tambien por la comedia, la cual proviene de los bugs que tiene.

    Este juego es de género Acción, Comedia, y Survival... Por tanto no es un survival horro y por tanto es una basura porque falla en lo que se supone que es. Además los gráficos... Algunas cosas se ven como de ps3 y otras como de ps2, es increíble la gran cantidad de "plastilina", "arcilla", y "acuarela" que se puede apreciar en los mismos.

    Multiples incoherencias y clichés, desde enemigos que tienen suficiente fuerza como para arrancarle el techo a un auto, pero luego al atacarte apenas te sacan vida, hasta el personaje que recarga con el munón de su mano cortada. Enemigos o npc que se teletransportan, o se quedan trabados contra cosas y se quedan pegandoles a esas cosas.
    Los NPC sin seguimiento, y con esto me refiero a que están "pre-programados". Si tu te agachas y te pones a un lado, el npc mirará para donde supone que deberías estar, por tanto no te mirará a ti, mirara y le hablará a la nada.

Something this game had that the others didn't was the aspect of someone following you around the house with more intelligence then a zombie who might break down a door once in awhile but stays the exact same hallway for the rest of the game. This game is much different then some of the Resident Evil titles but I would recommend this as a bye to anyone who appreciates the genre. Ensure any game can have someone speed run through it and beat it in a couple hours but the atmosphere and the richness of the environment made this supposed 10 to 12 hour game last almost 20 for me. I know others will say different about the time but I was almost hesitant to buy this game after seeing some of the negative reviews on Metacritic and I'm very glad I didn't listen to them.

    So when i got the game i went in with an open mind and tempered expectations, but that very quickly changed into pure pleasure and immersion in the game. The story unfolds slowly and it's not till halfway trough the game you'll get that old "Umbrella done messed up vibe". But the story is fascinating and the atmosphere, although not horribly frightening, is just spot on.

    The gameplay is solid and the first person view works very well. You do get weapons and ammunition but unless you are fighting the weaker enemies you don't feel like they give you any sort of advantage. Shooting the bakers just pisses them off.
    The audio is very good and the voice acting is probably the best in the series so far. The graphics are decent, not amazing, but very well made to fit the setting and atmosphere of the game. And if you're lucky enough to have a pc that runs this on 4k 60fps and ultra settings you will get a rather great visual experience. Just be aware that this requires a machine way more powerfull than the recommended specs.

    So in the end this game has been worth every penny so far. I've put 40 hours into it on my first week and there will be plenty of both free and paid DLC to come. So if you're a fan of the early games you'll love this, if you like survival horror and want a well worked out game with good story and lots of lore to find, you'll have a great time. If most of your time is spent in games like CoD or WoW or any of the mainly multiplayer focussed games you may not like this as much.
    This is a story rich game with alot of exploration and solving puzzles. So you won't be running around guns blazing.    … Expand

    Unplayable. The game always crashes on GTX 1070 and I5-6500 with 16GB RAM because "low performance". I will change the rating after they fix this garbage console port.

    officially my favorite horror game of all time
    Resident Evil 7 is a first person survival horror game where you play as a character named Ethan who gets a video from his wife who was kidnapped while babysitting
    this leads him to an old house out in the swamps of Louisiana
    As you explore this house and find its hidden passage ways you learn you’re not alone here…
    Tons of missing person cases around this time, but maybe this is just a coincidence
    There’s a crazy family…
    And you spend the game dealing with this family and trying to rescue and escape with your wife
    This is hands down the most terrifying video game I’ve ever played…
    And I don’t scare easy…
    Usually games only get me with cheap jump scares..
    I don’t ever expect more than that...
    Again I’m no Pewdiepie…
    But here I was genuinely terrified to progress during the first half of the game…
    The characters and setting are so eerie…
    you feel vulnerable throughout as you search the areas for keys and other items to solve a simple puzzle and move on…
    Even during moments of back tracking it never gets easier…
    each location feels just as terrifying as before…
    And you’re not even defenseless…
    You have a knife... you can pick up guns and other items to craft health packs and better ammo…
    but even with all of this you can’t help but feel your life is on the line around every corner…
    Where the game starts to fall apart is when they introduce the mud/mold type enemies that come out of the walls…
    they’re definitely terrifying at first… but only because they’re new…
    But they’re so over used that they quickly become an eye roll rather than a scare…. They eventually pose no threat…
    The game would’ve greatly benefitted from sticking to the style of focusing on 1 unique characters per section of the game like the first half instead of throwing in these generic monsters around every corner to deal with…
    They broke the experience immersion for me and reminded me this was a video game..
    And the games reliance on these enemies is worse as it goes on that by time I was in the final 3 hour stretch of this 7 and a half hour game I was running through them and the rest of the game like it was nothing… thankfully the final 20 minutes or so bring the game back to what it does best…
    But these putty creatures plucked from the power rangers are a joke.
    They’re a slight hiccup in the overall fantastically horrifying experience that is resident evil 7 though…
    The game is so clever with its puzzles, even doing subtle things like putting solutions or important item locations in these vhs tapes where you play as other characters.. these vhs tapes are just as terrifying as the main game, if not more at times…
    And you never feel stuck… again I beat the game in 7 and a half hours and I was very thorough…
    the game does a great job of bread crumb trailing you to the right items you need..
    Resident Evil 7 is also compatible with the PlayStation vr... which im sure makes this game even more terrifying...
    unfortunately this does get in the way of the game itself for those of us not using vr as theres this weird directional audio thing going on where you have to look at a character to really hear what they’re saying…
    That isn’t how real life works and its annoying.. .
    So for better and for worse, this game was definitely developed with vr in mind… it wasn’t an afterthought or an added gimmick…
    Resident evil 7 stumbles at times stopping it from being crowned as a true masterpiece…
    But I can’t look over the moments that bring it so close to that status…
    I can’t look over the fact that im one of the most unphased by horror people I know.. And this game got to me.
    This is hands down the best horror games I’ve ever played…

    one of the best games i have played is a very long time, yes the game isn't that long raging in at about 10-13 hours (depending if you take the time to look at the lore of the setting) all bosses and Eathian and Mia have some sort of story behind them. i was also constantly on my toes with the atmosphere well worth the £50

The graphics are great but not cry-engine insane. The differences between watching a video of the game and playing the actual game are insane. The slight delay in your flashlight following your field of view makes it scary, the lighting makes it scary, the whole gloomy vibe makes it scary, The voices are great, the "Kinda RPG" system is great (finding, managing and crafting items), Experiencing the video logs yourself makes the game even more enjoyable. I don't like games with a short story line and i had 3 moments in the game i thought i already finished it, but there was more and more and more to the story and that really surprised me. I was really skeptical about this game but it exceeded all my expectations.

    There are a few puzzles littered around, but they take moments to solve. There are VHS' for you to catch up on some narrative and backstory, in which you can actually recieve game over states...which makes no sense at all.

    All in all, it's a very shallow and uninspired game. Not "bad", but it's certainly not good. It got a lot of rave reviews, but i'm really not sure why. Maybe it's a better experience in VR...who knows?    … Expand

Crazy nostalgic holdings is how America elected dicknugget Trump as their president.

    Now for the actual review, the game is very atmospheric, which is why the introduction of the first FPS game in the series is a welcome boon. The enemies are well developed, and even if subjecting the whole state of Louisiana to a awful stereotype, the backwards hill-billies pictured are a work of fiction, and not well ;).

    I can see the obvious links between other puzzle horror games recently (Outlast, Amnesia etc.) however this game breaks the pattern by allowing actual combat, AS WELL AS PUZZLES. The first boss fight had me frantically flaying around for a solution and laughing my ass off for the better part of an hour. It isn't as straight forward as some are suggesting, and really makes you think outside the box.

    The only problem I would have with this game is the underwhelming ending and the length of the game, but overall I have thoroughly enjoyed the game    … Expand

    Absolute worst Resident Evil. It's not actually RE at all. It's a strict, linear movie-like game where you have to guess what random actions they require you to perform until you figure it out. Shooting in this game is also a nightmare. Enemies flop around with no predictable pattern, and movement is atrocious. It's not scary, it's corny and rips off Texas Chainsaw Massacre to a T at one point.

    Don't bother with this game, especially at $60. It's short, has no replay value or other features (except paid DLC of course), and the story and characters are completely forgettable. This may as well have been a reboot because it has no connection at all to the rest of the Resident Evil universe. Waste of time.

    After messing with the resolution multiplier though, running at 1.9 times the resolution gave me a much cleaner image, and I was able to play through the game and found the gameplay quite enjoyable.

    A huge gamble that paid off big time, I can honestly say this is the best Resident Evil game I have ever played. The switch to first person was controversial but at least in my opinion a complete success, it just works so well and I hope the devs stick with it for all future games.

    The whole game feels quality from top to bottom, from the visuals to the audio to the gameplay itself, nothing felt rushed and it all came together to make a brilliant game that I can't recommend enough. The atmosphere throughout was chilling and scary at times but not overly so, don't be put off if you consider yourself a bit of a wimp when it comes to horror titles (I do and I still loved it), I was also pleased that jump scares weren't overly used but when they were I definitely felt my heart rate speed up.

    I will mention one negative and that's VRAM usage, the game uses an absolutely absurd amount, you will need a 6GB GPU for high textures and a 8GB GPU for very high, leaving those of us with the ever popular GTX 970 with medium textures, now, this isn't as bad as it sounds as the texture quality setting doesn't actually affect the quality of the textures like in almost every other game, instead it affects texture caching, on medium you will see some rare texture pop-in whereas on higher settings you won't, the textures themselves are the same. If you try to play on high or very high with a 4GB GPU you will experience hitching and almost constant frame rate drops once you leave the initial area so make sure you turn this setting down if you're using a 4GB card like myself.    … Expand

    This trash isn't resident evil. It's not even scary. The visuals don't look realistic or gory at all... Just weird looking. And worst of all... The main character is more wooden than the house he's stuck in. Plus the game has lots of dumb glitches. It's the kind of game you play through once, say meh... and then never touch it again.

    Resident Evil 7 has a strong opening, a sagging middle, and a disappointing finale. In other words, it hews closely to the arc of most horror. But to Capcom’s credit, this Resident Evil is taking pages from books it hasn’t previously read. I’m not convinced it understands those pages, but at least it’s attempting something other than the usual roiling mass of black goo with bright orange weak points you have to shoot. For a while at least. It’ll get to that. But before it plods through its sagging middle to its disappointing finale, Resident Evil 7 is at least trying.
