    It is f***ing terrifying.
    The baddies are interesting.
    I could go on and on.
    Most the hate and low reviews stem from people expecting this game to be an RPG or some modern shoot-em-up with tight controls. It is a resident evil game, and despite it's new feel it is a total homage to the originals in feel, aesthetic and story.
    Others are complaining the game is too short. Truth is, there is no bulls**t padding out, the game is constantly engaging for almost every minute and has you running around solving puzzles and being terrified all the same. There is absolutely no need for games to be "long" if it engaging enough and there is more than enough replay value here.    … Expand

    I don't get scared easily, but this game really scared me a few times. It's a great game overall. The only cons are:
    1) Save points: you can only save it at certain points, which sometimes makes you restart from too far back after you die.

    A return to form for the series, going back to the slower pacing and survival horror roots that made the franchise. Great atmosphere and story, the setting really pulls you in. Enemies were lacking a little variety though and puzzles not as frequent as you'd expect. Still very much worth playing.

    In short, this game is a new way to experience Resident Evil so it was to be expected that many fans would resent the old style being changed. However changes can in some cases still be very good in order to give players new ways of interacting with the story. The good thing about this story is that you don't need to know the previous stories which have been told since Resident Evil 1. The gameplay has been fully made first person and the story has been written in chapters that will be done seperately throughout the entire game. The game takes approximately 4 hours (speed run) to complete, however you can easily double that amount and then some if you really want to find and do everything in it. The graphics are good (nothing fancy) however there are reports about stutter around the dining table scene but that can be helped by turning off certain shader options within your graphical program (it works better than ingame settings impo). Truth be told, i've not seen any stutter like mentioned above in my current 16 hours of playtime. It does however affect your overal fps quite a bit if you max out all your settings without paying close attention to the pros & cons that might come with it so keep that in mind or it'll ruin your experience as i've read on Steam plenty of times over. Also if you don't like backtracking, this game might not be to your liking because you'll have to do plenty of that as well! The pacing is not that fast, even when running so don't be upset about the way the story goes and the time you need to travel on foot..
    The inventory can and will luckily be increased depending on what you've discovered throughout the game, so you will in fact have the largest inventory available to you if you compare it with the inventories of previous Resident Evil games. There are plenty of tools for crafting, upgrading, and reforging. You will have herbs, pills, heath potions and many other stuff at your disposal. Weapons are varied, but not in large numbers so use them wisely. Difficulty wise there are a few modes in the beginning of the game, but you can adjust them additionally after completing the game if you want to challenge your skills even further.
    This review will not go into every detail because i don't want to spoil too many things, and i don't want to mention about the characters or the initial story for that matter. Personally i think it's better to be oblivious about the game and get into it without expecting too much at first. Just keep an open mind and take it from there. What else can i say? Well, would i rate 10/10? Hmm, honestly it deserves at least 8.5/10 and i'm also happily giving a GOTY reward in it's own class. However i already put 16 hours into it after 2 days, i must say that doesn't happen all too often these days, so i will rate this game a solid 9/10!
    Don't take my word for it guys, but try it out for yourselves okay. Just make sure you are in the clear of running this game optimized, so do your homework or better yet make sure your rig is well optimized before playing.. Have fun!    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 follows a new path back to its first days of intense, atmospheric horrors. Despite inconsistencies and the disappointing final hours, this breath of fresh gameplay may be just what the series desperately needs.

    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

    Resident Evil 7 is possibly the best resident evil, and for me the best survival horror of the last 12 years.

    GAMEPLAY
    Just awesome, the first person camera is more than perfect, combat system is ok, weapons are all very satisfying if used in the right context, and there's lot of hidden valuables so to make the exploration of every room a pleasurable ritual. This game is very much scripted, in the old RE fashion, only allowing for a few actual free choices overall. This could sound awful but it is not. Any single room, corridor, sequence or event is little challenge. It doesn't get boring, as it is built this way to make you feel constantly challenged and on edge. You're in for a surprise at every turn.

    GRAPHIC AND AUDIO
    The RE engine is a piece of art in my humble opinion, and I love it especially for its astounding light effects. In a survival horror, nothing is more important than that, and I seriously never have seen like this before. The audio effects are fantastic in never allowing your anxiety level to go down, apart from few secure areas.
    The overall experience feels like living a perfectly paced movie

    PLOT
    Although the plot may at first seem disconnected from any other RE, those who care to put informations together may find references from previous games, events and characters, and hints to **** yet to happen. I myself, haven't played only half the titles in this franchise (RE 2,4,5), am unable to connect certain dots. Also the finale is mindblowing for more than one reason, as I found out on my second runthrough in Madhouse mode. I suspect I could even find out more playing it a 3rd time, but I restrained myself from doing that.
    Cutscenes can't be skipped but are superbly executed, as is the voice-over. The level of polishing for so many details is simply astonishing.

    I give this 9 and not 10 for some minor shortcomings:
    - enemies are few in kind and not very scary-looking, apart from this they do an excellent job of giving you heart-attacks
    - can't aim down the barrel
    - some items are just useless    … Expand

    Probably the best horror game.. ever.
    Horror games were never my style, but this one is amazing.
    There are probably only 5 horror games that i like and this is definitely one of them.
    This game is amazing, the price is pretty high for a not so long game, I'd give it 8.5 if it was possible.

It will be met with a group of interesting characters, and the story is the mysterious and exotic and full of surprises and crazy characters will keep you in thrall. As well as dialogue and voice performance and distinctive shift from the previous sections, The family Taathecm you and play your performance with terrifying and hilarious. In addition, there are several videos allow you to play other characters and scenes story from a different perspective. Although the story in its entirety one, but there are some options that are changing a little bit of experience, and with the presence of some secret scenes.
    The game world is a good size and great diversity, but what sets it apart -balmat in the family home is a frequent Alosasa- detail the furniture and realistic compared to other games, which makes you feel as real and inhabited world, and with the time Sthfezh may not even need a map. It is worth mentioning that a copy Playstation 4 Pro provides images of the purest and richest effects of the Playstation 4 normal.
    Way of progress in the game confuse linear (moving from one point to another) and free, there is always one or more aspire to, but the reach of the target and the order of the goals is up to you the way, and will explore and take over the place gradually by solving puzzles and open closed doors and shortcuts that bind throughout the world some more. Puzzles in its entirety is not difficult, and most of them require to find specific tools for progress. Well there are several secrets, including the pictures show you the places to look for treasures.
    Provides a number of diverse arms asymptotic to the number of weapons in the previous sections, there is a knife and a pistol and rifle, flame thrower, bombs, etc., and lead to a limited but sufficient because kill most enemies (depending on skill and difficulty level). Fighting needs to focus, and any mistake will cost you a lot, as the automatic registration can not be relied upon always (unlike the manual registration in the registry rooms). Limited movement of your character and of being the first person makes a tough and spirited fighting perspective but fair, and you can raise the level of challenge to the difficulty of "Madhouse" to reduce the automatic recording of a lot, and reduce the number of manual recording tapes that you find.
    Return your luggage management system (tools and weapons carried by), which forces you to choose whether you want to carry weapons or bullets more, or a Band-Aid, or items that you need to solve puzzles. As well as you will find chemicals that can be combined with the lead to get stronger lead, or with herbs to get a Band-Aid, and once again you will need to make tough decisions in this regard, but during your progress in the game will increase the number of items that you can carry.
    Horror exists in the game and strongly, and several different aspects. There is fear of a surprise some enemies you suddenly, the horror of fighting the bosses of the first-person perspective in a game not return the health of your character automatically, always fighting up close and first-person perspective, which makes you on your nerves. There are horror because of excessive violence, and another when trying to escape from one of the enemies or sneak quietly, and finally there are the horror myself from the darkness and thick place desolate and random sounds, not knowing what might happen at any moment, and in this aspect is the earliest the first part of the series, which was reissued in 2015.
    Developed a virtual reality, currently exclusive to PlayStation (Playstation VR), is excellent in its entirety. You play the game full of his way, or switch between television and virtual reality by referring to the main menu and then supplement your play, and experience remain in their entirety themselves, but when playing virtual reality will feel greater integration with the world of the game, you will feel the size of the place and imminent danger you are Larger.    … Expand

From what I can tell, future installments roughly followed the same formula and gameplay. It seemed to become more outlandish with each new game, so I never cared to pick up another Resident Evil. So, why did I pick this up? It looked to deviate from its original philosophy and design, so I thought, yeah, what the heck, let’s give it a shot; and I’m glad I did.

    If I had to sum this game up in one word, I would say…..atmosphere. The third-person perspective really accentuates the dread and tension surrounding you through the entire playthrough. And to top it off, combat is close quarters: fighting enemies in narrow hallways or small rooms can be a nerve-racking experience. I have two complaints here, and that’s the lack of enemy variety and length. I clocked in around 16 hours, which is not bad, but I wanted more.

    Great game. I’m glad I decided to pick it up. Although I won’t say this game alone has rekindled my interest in the Resident Evil series, it at least has got me interested to pick up Village, and future installments should they follow this same formula. Get it!    … Expand

    I wasn't keen on the horror games at the time, but RE7 got me good. It quickly became one of my favourite games of all time. The thrilling gameplay and amazing graphics did their best as I was always on my nerves while getting through the mansion. I loved the story, although I might have missed some parts, as I am not a big RE fan. Overall, loved the game and excited to play more RE stuff.

    Resident Evil 7 Biohazard looks nothing like on the previous RE games but has some great gameplay and nice story.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes, this is not a RE 0-6. And you know what? I am glad! I was wildly enraged by many stupid and uninteresting things of previous games that from that Japanese developers, which are not in RE7. However, this does not mean that the game is not devoid of its own bad moments.
    What I liked: Sounds are simple but correctly inserted in every single place of the game. Great graphics. Very strong and emotional intro with the spirit of "old good horror movies"(A little bit wildly, but after intro it's not happening, so it was forgivable and immediately took the player by the psychological gills). Save-rooms(I understand that horror games implies the fear of death from every cockroach, but for such psychos there is a maximum level of difficulty, and for ordinary players who like such games, allowing them to save in such rooms is an excellent solution. Although the logic is silly that monsters cannot knock out a flimsy door and not kill the player). The plot is actually full of logical nonsense and absurdity, but overall it was interesting. If it were not for all sorts of clichés and outright stupidity for the sake of "stretching the drama on the genital organ" - it would be generally excellent storytelling. A lot of people complained that the horror gradually turned into an simple action by the end of the game, but it seemed to me normal, since according to the plot it was quite justified. Another complaint was about the too simple-looking last location. Like it was done carelessly. I beg your pardon, what should the mine look like? With paintings of Rembrandt and a bar-scene? What did you expected to see there?
    ...And now, what I didn't like:
    1) Immortal stupid Slo-o-o-ow do-o-o-ors(Jesus! A crowd of monsters is chasing me, and the character seems to be examining every crack on the door while opening it).
    2) The animation of weapons and objects is very good, but the animation of hitting the enemy is terrible and fills cardboard. The aiming is worse the closer the enemy is.
    3) Very inconvenient inventory. At least on a PC.
    4) No dodges, For what the f*ck*ng block with your hands here? Every enemy can bite you. I used it only in the last 10 minutes of the game. The knife is useless piece of sh*t for boxes with lot. No one will forgive you picking himself with a knife.
    5) YOU CAN NOT MISS DIALOGUES. This is generally an extreme degree of stupidity: why the f*ck should I watch the same scenes and dialogues after every death. Again, all modern games have this ability.
    6) Of course every American family has a house with a morgue and clock and shadow puzzles.
    7) Many times you see a very soapy picture. But the optimization is very good.
    8) The cake puzzle is a scripted f*cking sh*t. You saw what what will be happening but you can't move because of the f*ng script. It is logically epic fail.
    9) The main character is totally unemotional. He is a simple type of human but does not react at all to all that insane gore, blood and horror in the house. Only once on the spider-woman he swore in the scripted moment only AFTER she ran away.
    10) I beg to anyone to enter already huge penalties for the using of stupid screamers in films and games. I am waiting that happy time when the authors will begin to make quality horror without using "dumb loud screaming out from your back"?
    11) Playing all RE games I have already pissed of shooting sometimes 3 bullets and sometimes 100500 bullets to the head of any monster.
    12) Viscous control. Even for a non-commando character, he is moving like a slow snail. In the last games there was a running, but the developers, apparently, thought that they didn’t care about logic, the main thing was that the player was afraid of being caught up(It looks especially stupid in the last DLC, when Zoya barely crawls with a rope while what is happening in the bathroom).
    13) Speaking of DLC: I didn't like them at all. The ideas and stories in all but one were interesting, but realization is terrible. It seems that the creators of the game deliberately turned on the difficulty of the game-play and the stupidity of some moments, so that it would seem like some kind of challenge ...But NO! ...An old boxer grandpa, killing strong monsters with his bare hands, which can regenerate and kill special forces soldiers by themselves. What the f*ck is that?
    14) A suspicious person in a house with barbed wire, during the disappearance of people and a policeman tells "What are you doing here, you're suspicious" instead of calling for help in the beginning. The character is also stupid, instead of a normal explanation of the problem, "I have been kidnapped" starts to say "you don't understand" and "give me a gun". GIVE ME YOUR GUN?
    15) Anyone even doubted about the final boss? Which was very disappointing. 3 minutes of covering face with arms, and 3 minutes of shooting straight ahead? WHAT?!
    Despite all the criticism, I liked the game much more. This is definitely much better than the latest RE games.    … Expand

You progress through the locations and open them more and more. You may come back and find forgotten secrets or items. You still may kill, but should keep an eye on the inventory. All from the past and best of RE games.
    - Story. Even though the story AGAIN is about a "small little girl with superpowers" (F.E.A.R., movies like "Ring", etc.) it is explained through the virus and experimentation. The virus resembles Uroboros. Still, Evelyn is a vulnerable kid with family issues. Her behavior and dramatic consequences are the results of the mistakes of the adults actually.

    - DLCs are finally worth their money. All DLCs are cool, especially 21, The Room, Sisters. Didn't feel I finished the game without finishing DLCs, especially Nightmare (it was a hell of an experience).

    Cons.:
    - Not enough upgrades. Inventory could be more flexible and comfortable to surf.
    - Need more background stories about Evelyn and Blue Umbrella.
    - Redesign of Chris. Ugh... When will they stop redesigning well-established characters?..

    Still, fantastic game. Must buy!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For most people, 2017 was not the year of horror, for me, 2017 was the pinnacle year of horror development in the video game industry. Resident Evil: Bio-hazard was a product of this pinnacle year. In late 2016, Resident Evil: Bio-hazard the demo had come out on Steam with a bang at an averaging half hour experience that brings us to a camera perspective of a journey through a desolate house at nighttime. This demo brought players to their knees, instilling fear in the community of PC and console gamers. However, when it was leaked that the game would be released January of 2017, I couldn't contain my excitement for this new installment in the Resident Evil Franchise. As Resident Evil: Bio-hazard came underway, players and speculators were horrified. This game started out with a cinematic scene of the main character’s exposition of why our main character, Ethan, will be going down into Dulvey, Louisiana after the cryptic message only moments ago from our presumed wife, Mia. Resident Evil as a franchise has proven to have its ups and downs, with Resident Evil 6, the predecessor to Resident Evil: Bio-hazard, being considered one of the worst games in the existence of the Resident Evil timeline. Resident Evil: Bio-hazard had shown to be the complete opposite versus its older counterpart. This game had brought hope back to the old Resident Evil fans as a collective group, and horror fans alike. Resident Evil: Bio-hazard brought back what controversial game Resident Evil 5 and poorly rated Resident Evil 6 had taken away. A joy and unrequited love for the Resident Evil franchise for its story and lore.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played and streamed the game via gamepass on the PC (makes the horror setting more bearable for me: D) and it took a little over 9 hours for the passage on normal difficulty. First of all, for me a great representative in the horror genre. My last Resident Evil was part 4 and before that I hardly played a Resi (so the remakes are already waiting for me).

    story

    I liked it consistently, the whole story was very exciting and excitingly staged, even if it takes a while in the game to get the background explained. But the game gives you the feeling that something is completely wrong. The game has apparently (2?) Endings and are likely tied to a specific decision (I healed Mia). The representation of the individual family members in the sections of the house was an exciting structure for the entire escape from the house.

    Incidentally, I also really liked everything about the house.

    I found the part in the Ship a bit weaker, even if that provided the background mentioned and was therefore necessary.

    I found it really cool that a certain family member then got this outstanding meaning (it literally clicks at one point in time) and works as a bracket for me, even the sequence with the father towards the end was almost emotional.

    Atmosphere / graphics

    The game looks exactly as it should, great graphics, a harmonious setting and, in the most important places, attention to detail. The atmosphere in the house is characterized by the game of cat and mouse and the heart likes to beat a little faster here. I'm not that big of a horror genre player, I have no problem with movies, but Resident Evil 7 does it right for me. It does not focus on jumpscares or the like, but occupies one with such tension through the mood of the game, masterfully.

    This threatening atmosphere is joined by a brutality that has almost frightened me at one point or another. Only the point mentioned before (Ship) was weaker, especially at the beginning, as was the end part in the
    Mine, here you were basically only thrown with transforms, real tension only arose from the background information.

    Gameplay

    The cat and mouse game mentioned was implemented perfectly, kept the tension constantly high and I really enjoyed being able to explore all parts of the house with increased progress (unfortunately I planned the whole time that I already had the crow key and thus one Missed door with a gun).

    The resource management was ok, I only like it to a certain extent, but it adds to the depth of the gameplay. You have to think about what things you are crafting, what exactly you need, etc. I found the inventory management more difficult and was overjoyed with every backpack found, unfortunately I had one or the other situation in which I had objects (just now unpacked), contrary to expectations, I needed and had to pick it up (at least these checkpoints are set acceptable).

    I liked the pistol and shotgun a lot, unfortunately I couldn't test the Magnum (I just found 1 round of ammunition). The grenade launcher was very helpful towards the end and made the final boss look pretty ridiculous. The final boss fight itself is also my biggest point of criticism, because it was quite slow and I had hoped for more resistance, the two puke-transformed ones shortly before the end were more problematic.

    Conclusion

    I haven't played a better horror game yet, but despite all that, Resi 7 isn't quite perfect for me. But deserves 9/10 ETHAAAAAN for me.    … Expand

    Resident Evil VII es sin duda un muy buen juego, aunque poco tiene que ver con un RE tradicional.

Para empezar, la historia solo tiene algun puntual punto de conexión con el resto de juegos anteriores (obviamente, con Village tendrá muchos más, pero aun no lo he jugado), y no solo en el sentido de conexiones directas, sino que pasamos de una historia típica de zombies (plagas, Virs T o lo que sea) a una historia más de casa encantada con asesinos inmortales (a lo Jason). Y el juego cambia también profundamente a nivel de jugabilidad, sigue teniendo elementos de acción, pero regresa más a las raíces en cuanto a la idea de survival horror (escasez de recursos, pocos enemigos pero duros, etc.). Uno de los cambios más notables en cuanto a jugabilidad es que, en esta ocasión, jugamos en primera persona, y no en tercera como solía ser habitual en la saga. El juego también, un poco como el 1, juega mucho más con los tiempos en que no pasa nada, para añadir tensión para los momentos en que sí pasa, alternando momentos de tensa pero pausada exploración con los momentos más de acción/conflicto y algún ocasional toque de sigilo puntual. Añade a eso unos cuantos puzzles, más creíbles en su mayoría que los puzzles típicos de RE, que añaden algo de variedad puntual, aunque reconozco que lo de las sombras a mi me cansó. Eso si, para mi se queda un poco justito en algunos valores importantes como variedad de enemigos y armas, pero sobretodo en duración, algo que espero compensar con los DLCs.

    Gráficamente no se puede decir que el juego sea "precioso" pero sin duda es espectacular. La recreación de la sórdida casa de los Bakers y las tierras que la rodean es profundamente detallada, con distintos ambientes adecuados para cada uno de los miembros y un trabajo estético brutal para hacerla terrorífica e inmersiva incluso cuando no está pasando nada. El sonido contribuye enormemente a esto, con muchos sonidos de cosas naturales (como el crujir de la madera de la casa) que se entremezclan perfectamente con el sonido de los enemigos al moverse (vale la pena jugarlo con cascos con sonido 3D). Las voces están también muy bien y la música, aunque tiene muy poca presencia, se nota cuando aparece. Y, al menos en mi partida, no me he encontrado con ningún bug.

    Por todo ello, sin duda no diría que es un RE tradicional ni mucho menos, pero es un juego que vale mucho la pena. Un 8,5.    … Expand

Hikayesinden biraz bahsedeyim, öncelikle bir karşılaştırma yapmak gerekirse Resident Evil 2 ve 3'ün yeniden yapımlarını da oynamış biri olarak bu oyunun 2 ve 3'ün yeniden yapımlarına göre çok daha iyi bir hikaye ve hikaye sunumuna sahip olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Hikayesi gerçekten sürükleyici ve karakterler de gayet akılda kalıcı ve güzel. Resident Evil 7 aynı zamanda dediğim gibi hikaye sunumu konusunda da oldukça iyi. Oyuna yılladır haber alamadığı karısından kendisine bir video gelmesi ile şaşkına dönen Ethan'In karısını bulmak için Dulvey, Louisiana'daki ıssız bir kulübeye gelmesi ile başlıyoruz. Baker ailesinden Jack'in gelip bizi bulması ile asıl hikayemiz başlıyor. Baker ailesi, bataklığın ortasındaki bir çiftlik evinde yaşayan mutantlardan oluşuyor. Kapının çalmasından faydalanarak kaçıyoruz. Biz kaçarken Jack genelde peşimizde oluyor, bazen aniden kapıdan çıkıp önümüzde beliriyor bazen ise duvarları kırıp önümüzü kesiyor. Jack'e ateş etsek de, yaksak da patlatsak da bir şey olmuyor ölümsüz olduğu için. Buradan kurtulabilmemiz için Baker ailesinin kızı Zoe bizimle iletişime geçiyor ve serum için gerekli parçaları toplayabilirsek buradan kaçabileceğimizi söylüyor. Böylece uzun bir süre serumun parçalarını edinmek için uğraşıyoruz. Nihayet parçaları aldığımızda Mia ve Zoe'nin Baker ailesinin oğlu Lucas tarafından yakalandığını öğreniyoruz. Bu sefer de Lucas'ın yakaladığı Mia ve Zoe'ye ulaşabilmek için çaba sarf ediyoruz. Sonunda onlara ulaşıyoruz ve tam serumu alacakken daha önceki kısımlarda testere ile kestiğimiz Jack'in devasa bir canavara dönüştüğünü görüyoruz ve burada bir Boss savaşı patlak veriyor, Boss savaşlarından daha sonra bahsedeceğim. Jack'i sersemlettikten sonra onu öldürebilmemiz için Zoe bize iki serumdan birini veriyor, serumu Jack'e uyguluyor ve onu öldürüyoruz. Ardından Zoe ve Mia'nın yanına gidiyoruz, elimizde sadece bir tane serum kalıyor. Ancak serum hem Mia'yı, hem de Zoe'yi iyileştirmek için lazım. Oyuncu burada isterse Zoe'yi, isterse Mia'yı iyileştirebiliyor, burada verilen karar doğrultusunda oyunun sonu değişiyor. Buradan sonra iyileştirdiğimiz kişiyle birlikte bota biniyoruz, fakat Eveline ismindeki mutant kız botumuza saldırıyor ve sonradan Eveline ile Mia'nın daha önce gemi ile birlikte buraya geldiğini, Mia'nın küçük Eveline'e ona annelik yapacağını söylediğini, bu yüzden de Eveline'in Mia'nın peşinde olduğunu öğreniyoruz. Ardından Ethan bir halüsinasyon görüyor, bu halüsinasyonda Baker'lardan Jack bizimle konuşuyor ve aslında kendisinin de ailesinin de katil ve mutant olmadığını Eveline'in kendilerinin DNA'sını bozarak onları birer katil mutanta dönüştürdüğünü söylüyor. Bu sahneden sonra zorunda olduğu için onları öldürmüş olsa da Ethan biraz pişman oluyor. Ardından burada kontrol Mia'ya geçiyor. Mia ile biraz oynadıktan sonra, daha önceden verdiğimiz karar doğrultusunda Mia'nın akıbeti belli oluyor ve kontrol tekrar Ethan'a geçiyor. Ethan olarak tekrardan oyunun başındaki çiftlik evine gidiyoruz, yaşadığımız olaylar gözümüzün önüne geliyor ve en sonunda bu evde Eveline'i yakalıyoruz. Ardından Eveline'in küçük bir kız olmadığını, Baker'ların evinde hep gördüğümüz, hiç konuşmayan ve sürekli hareketsiz bir şekilde sandalyede oturan yaşlı kadın olduğunu öğreniyoruz. Sonra oyunun Boss savaşı başlıyor ve kadın aynı Jack'e olduğu gibi devasa bir canavara dönüşüyor. Ethan canavarın işini bitiriyor ve oyun sonlanıyor. Hikaye böyleydi, oynanışa gelelim. Oyun, Resident Evil 2 ve 3'ün de yeninden yapımında kullanılan RE Engine'ı kullanıyor. Bu oyun motoru ilk defa bu oyunda kullanıldığı için oynanış dinamikleri ve vuruş hissiyatı 2 ve 3'teki kadar başarılı değil ancak yine de yeterli seviyede. Grafik olarak da oyun 2017 yılına göre güzel grafiklere sahip, bazı yerlerde kapamaların çözünürlüğünün düşük kalması hatasına rastlanılabiliyor, onu da ekleyeyim. Bu oyunun en zayıf kısmına gelelim, yani Boss savaşlarına. Oyunda doğru dürüst Boss savaşı yok, yalnızca 2 tane var ve zaten biri oyunun sonunda yaşanıyor, ayrıca ikisi de birbirinin aynısı ve sıkıcı. Boss savaşı konusu hayal kırıklığı olsa da oyunun atmosferi gayet iyi. FPS kamera açısı da oyunun atmosferine uygun olduğu için atmosferi hissetmek daha kolay oluyor. Sonuç olarak, Resident Evil 7 iyi bir Hayatta Kalma-Korku oyunu, bu türü sevenlere öneriyorum.… Expand

You know some horrific things have happened, and the game lets you slowly unravel it.

    The settings in the game contributes to a huge factor to the horror. The realism of the objects, environment, and lighting. It was all perfect. There were many places where I didn't even want to step foot in because it looked so creepy. Ammo conservation is actually important again. Not as strict as the PS1 Resident Evils, but you still had to look out for how much ammo you blow. I actually over conserved my ammo, and I had a crap ton by the end of the game.

    The level design and gameplay progression was golden. It was clear what items you needed next, and markings on the map indicated what doors needed opening, so needless backtracking wasn't necessary. The VHS flash forward system was also really cool. You play through the memories of people who have visited the house. These give you clues as to where items were located. It was a clever addition.

    Overall, the entire experience kept me at the edge of my seat. I'm really happy the series brought back it's survival horror roots. I hope Resident Evil keeps going in this direction.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is probably most famous for being the Resident Evil game that made the jump from third to first person perspective, and for being the title that redeemed the franchise after the disaster that was RE6. For both things, it is, I think, rightly praised.

For both things, it is, I think, rightly praised.

    But there is plenty more cause for admiration here.

    When the game starts, you are Ethan Winters, on a mission to find your long lost wife, who apparently turned up in a dilapidated mansion in the Louisiana swamp after three years of being missing. That’s all you’ll learn of his back story, and that’s all you need to know. Ethan is the protagonist, but he is not the star of the show.

    The main gameplay loop is familiar: you explore the various properties of the Baker family, scavenging for weapons, ammunition and items, all the while being in danger from the murderous denizens of the location, which you have to evade or fight off. Occasionally, the game throws an environmental puzzle at you, to spice things up.

    Combat is a sluggish, uncomfortable affair. Aiming your various guns feels slow and imprecise. Ethan is so slow on his feet that evading your enemies’ attacks is almost impossible. Melee attacks are possible but almost completely ineffective. This is not a detriment to the experience. RE7 is a horror tale, the protagonist is not expected to come out of the mayhem unscathed, and while there is plenty of harm inflicted upon Ethan during cutscenes, it’s quite hard not to get bled during the regular engagements, as well. There is never enough ammunition to actually feel confident during engagements, but usually there is enough to never actually run out. The whole system is balanced really well: It engenders terror, but never frustration. Full marks.

    Exploration is also great, and this is mostly a credit to the art direction. I usually take a lot of screenshots to memorize the beautiful moments within a game, but while playing RE7, I rarely ever felt the need to make a screenshot. This is a compliment: The locations here are so lovingly crafted examples of irredeemable rot and dirt and dilapidation that I felt the constant urge to wipe my monitor instead. Every surface feels soiled and moist. The soundscape wraps you in squelches and screams and blubbering and so many other disturbing noises.The environment is so scary and oppressive that I breathed a sigh of relief every time I entered a safe room. Those are just as expertly crafted to feel comforting as the rest of the game is to terrorize you, without them feeling out of place.

    The puzzles are fine. There are no real head scratchers, nothing to get stuck on. They serve to structure the route Ethan takes through the game, and although some of them stretch the limits of suspension of disbelief, none of them broke it for me.

    The plot is great, I think. A lean tale, mostly unburdened by the convoluted Resident Evil mythos, laser focussed on the struggle between a murderous family of degenerates and their would be victims. The characters are great for what they are. None of them feel really developed, but they don’t have to be: they are great implementations of their tropes, the enemies feel menacing. The few allies you have you build a connection with simply by being in the same horrible situation, and they are likable enough that you feel it when horrible things happen to them. The main villain has a somewhat sympathetic back story, but I hated her with a passion anyway, which made the truly bonkers final confrontation quite cathartic for me.

    The game is also very well paced. The locations are spacious, but not overly so. There is no filler, every room has a purpose, both within the game world and with regards to the story. You get just enough time within each location to get familiar with them, but before that familiarity can breed feelings of security, you move on.

    Since we are in an imperfect world, there are a few marks against the game. While the main antagonists are unique and memorable and well designed, at some point the game introduces a couple of rank and file monsters, and those designs, while memorable when first encountered, are very samey. There are three main types, which is too few, and they look very similar. Also, the most impactful moments of the story are front-loaded, so the engagement levels drop a bit during the middle chapters, until the revelations of the final third of the game ratchet things up again.

    Finally, a word about the DLC: There’s, like, a ton of it, and I only played the story-based one’s but those are excellent additions to the game. They give you more time with the Baker family and, at their best, equal the first hours of the main game in excellence. Well worth your time and money.

    TLDR: If you ever wanted to to the protagonist of a really good horror movie is scary even if you avoid all the idiotic decisions the people in the movies keep making, spend your time and money here.    … Expand

    Story - I did feel like I had seen a story like this before, Outlast etc. THE HILLBILLY HORROR. however the whole story felt like it was leading to something bigger and greater than Hillbilly Horror which was really nice. There were twists and turns I wasn't expecting and I could return to this game about once a year and still enjoy playing it.

    Gameplay - Atmosphere, at this point, that's my favourite word when refering to MOST of the Resident Evil Series. Over ONE NIGHT this game manages to take you to plenty of different locations saving you the bordum of playing in the same place for too long. It lets you feel safe at some points of time only to rip that from you in the following chapters. The game does have an emotional aspect to it and it feels. good when you finish the whole story off.

    This was a great game leading it's players back to what RE once was.

    The boss design DID feel repetitive however.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 Biohazard ist ein Survival-Horror-First-Person-Shooter und hat die USK 18.
    Das Spiel ist für die PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia erschienen und ist aktuell im Gamepass enthalten.
    Meine Spielzeit belief sich auf ca. 11h.
    58 Errungenschaften sind zu bekommen

    Handlung:
    Man spielt Ethan Winters der eine Nachricht von seiner verschwundenen Frau bekommt. Daraufhin macht man sich auf den Weg sie zu finden. Als man dann an einem verlassenen Haus ankommt beginnt die spannende Horrorstory. Während des Spiels absolviert man Rätsel und muss Objekte finden die man fürs weiterkommen braucht.

    Gameplay:(Controller)
    Das Gameplay läuft einwandfrei, sodass sich das Spiel fließend spielen lässt. Die Horrorpassagen kommen gut zur Geltung. Die Story ist klar strukturiert. Es gibt einen großen Kritikpunkt. Mir ist häufiger der PC gecrasht, als ich das Spiel spielte und zwischendurch auf einen anderen Monitor wechselte. Durch die Auto Safe Funktion war es jetzt nicht dramatisch. Der Controller wechselte manchmal zwischen Player 1 und Player 2, sofern man von etwas runter sprang oder etwas ausführen wollte. Das stört nicht es sei denn man befindet sich in einem Kampf und kann 1-2 Sekunden nichts drücken. Das Inventar ist generell zu klein, sodass man sein Inventar an der Truhe leeren muss. Den VR Modus konnte ich nicht austesten jedoch würde er ziemlich gut zu dem Spiel passen.

    Sound:
    Der Sound passt sehr gut ins Spiel und vermittelt eine Düstere und Spannende Stimmung.
    Die Sounds der Waffen hören sich passend an. Die deutsche Synchronstimmen passen zu den Charakteren. Umgebungsgeräusche erhöhen den Horrorspaß.

    Grafik:
    An der Grafik ist nichts auszusetzen. Die Umgebung und Charaktere passen zu der düsteren Grundstimmung. Die Bosse sind sehr gut ausgedacht und animiert.

    Fazit:
    Resident Evil 7 ist mein erstes Resident Evil und ich möchte jetzt alle Spielen. Egal ob Vorgänger oder nachfolgende Teile. Die Umgebung und Soundtracks haben mich direkt überzeugt und die Story hat mich gefesselt. Trotz der ein oder anderen nervigen Probleme wollte ich das Spiel nicht aufhören zu spielen. Wem Resident Evil gefällt empfehle ich einen 100% Run.    … Expand

    A terrifying survival horror experience. It offers the best spooky atmosphere in the franchise with many of the classic mechanics that built the original formula. Yet it has enough new elements to stand its ground amidst similar games. Without doubt, a must play horror

    Great horror from a great franchise.

    Everybody in the gaming community has heard about Resident Evil. RE7 is a bit of a different experience compared to older games, since they switched to 1st person. A welcome change and it really makes it scarier. The story is confusing. I had no idea who the characters were and what was going on. Even at the end of the game, they do explain a bit.    Great horror from a great franchise.

    The story is confusing. I had no idea who the characters were and what was going on. Even at the end of the game, they do explain a bit. but it's still not clear to me. I heard that RE8 completes the story and explains a lot but I haven't played it. All in all, it's weird in a scary way.

    Gameplay is basic. Run around and shoot monsters. The mechanics are pretty "eh". But it all works, so it's not bad or anything, just basic. Enemies respawning gets repetitive and if you keep fighting, you just lose a lot of ammo.

    Horror is good. I had moments where I genuinely panicked a bit. It's creepy and disgusting, very visual and brutal. Being constantly chased by the enemy makes you uneasy and it had me running around looking for the way out of that area.

    Graphics are good. Both environments and enemies look solid. I recommend to put the brightness as low as you can, it may be harder but it's scarier that way.

    Personally I'm not a fan of horror, but I enjoyed Resident Evil 7. The free DLC is also a good addition to the story. People who love a horror will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    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.
