    Shallow and overpriced linear game with boring characters and abysmal story that you will forget in a week and above all the trash it's locked with DENUVO DRM, yep it's the new trend because greedy companies like Capcom are afraid of the "evil pirates"...Anyway game is rarely frighnening it's mostly gory and disgusting also the ending is disappointing and the shooting mechanics are bad.Shallow and overpriced linear game with boring characters and abysmal story that you will forget in a week and above all the trash it's locked with DENUVO DRM, yep it's the new trend because greedy companies like Capcom are afraid of the "evil pirates"...Anyway game is rarely frighnening it's mostly gory and disgusting also the ending is disappointing and the shooting mechanics are bad. Doesn't deserve $60 (or 60 Euros if you live in Europe) wait for a lower price tag… Expand

    The FoV limit of 90 makes it unplayable from normal sitting distances. Unacceptable.

    Console obsessed Capcom requires hex editing to get 21:9 support. Patch this already.

    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

    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.

    This has nothing to do with RE.

    What to start with? The walking speed which in running mode like normal walking to produce the feeling of fear of not getting away? Of course your not getting away because the devs made you move like a snail. Dismemberment which happens to be no problem for the player except when done by jack? No T virus zombies? Basically for the beginning    This has nothing to do with RE.

    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

    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.

    Todo esto y mucho más en este juego de comedia y acción :D    … 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.

    RESIDENT EVIL VII: BIOHAZARD goes first person and takes the worst of RESIDENT EVIL 2 & 3, which is recurring, scripted, unkillable villains. I hated Mr. X in RESIDENT EVIL 2 and Nemesis in RESIDENT EVIL 3, and here you get the Baker Family, a Texas Chainsaw-like redneck family.

    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!

Frequently you can't even control what's happening and instead watch endless animated sequences, occasionally pressing the left mouse button, wondering if that would make any difference. Doors get opened at the whim of the script, the enemies appear and disappear. The main character does things on his own while you just hold W key.

    No, no, no. This is not Resident Evil. It might work in VR, I dunno, but on PC this is plain garbage.
    Oh and btw it's not scary at all. It's so ridiculous that I was laughing all the way after some time. The moment when the main character gets his hand cut off is hilarious! I couldn't take this game seriously after that.
    And they say this game will be the "killer game" which will make make VR the big thing? ROFL
    My only advice is to NOT play this for more than hour so that you could still get a refund.

    I give this 2 points for the hilarious moment with the cut off hand and the loads of artists' work sunk into this trainwreck.    … 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 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.
