    This is the game that came to rescue RE franchise from the terrible RE6.
    RE 7 plays out like an updated Resident Evil 1 with backtracking, inventory management and a great horror atmosphere.
    Don't listen the people who didn't even played the game and came just to hate. RE 7 is no walk simulator, and no P.t clone. RE 7 is an horror game with action just like every classical RE, with a real Survival Horror mechanics and feel to it.

    Gone are the QTE, corridor shooter and boring action. RE 7 brought back the sense of mystery and dread , exploration and overall feel of the original game. I may being repetitive, but I don't want to spoiler the game, I think every Resident Evil fan deserve to discovery how this game bring back the sensation and awe that Resident Evil brought in 96.

    RE 7 is a masterpiece, it bring back the original feel and moves the series further into the survival horror genre. I really looking forward for RE 8.

    After all said and done, 7 maybe is the best Resident Evil ever, or a close runner up for the original RE.

    If you are a fan, forget the haters, forget the hate and prejudice and give it a try, I assure you it really worth.

    I was very skeptical when the demo was released, but i'm glad it turned out great.
    This is a true Resident Evil game through and through. The Baker's mansion bring really nice memories of the old games. The backtrack (which is not very annoying here), the save rooms, the music, the tension and suspense that comes with the atmosphere reminds me of how good Resident Evil used to be.

    I'm surprised with the voice acting, i really liked it, especially Jack and Marguerite. Really good stuff.
    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.

    I'm very satisfied with what they have accomplished, it would be great if they keep going this way, but i hope RE 2 Remake remains intact.
    10/10 would buy it again. This is an instant classic for me.

    The game is excellent! Nothing to complain about. For all the gamers that are having problems with the fps (lag) go to the main menu/graphics and set the texture quality to medium. It worked really well for me.

    I have been playing the Resident Evil series since the first one launched in 1996 and absolutely love the games. I was a bit skeptic at first when i heard they made the switch to first person but also enthousiastic to hear they would bring the series back to it's roots with a focus on survival horror.

    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.

    Wow... The game really got me hooked :) I've been avoiding this one for nearly 2 years since purchase, but now that I've got more experience with Resident Evil series, I decided to give it a go.

    Wow... The game really got me hooked :) I've been avoiding this one for nearly 2 years since purchase, but now that I've got more experience with Resident Evil series, I decided to give it a go.

    RE7 feels to me like Capcom wanted to combine all kinds of horror themes into one and strangely it all works together. Paying homage to its roots and pushing the once-beloved survival horror forward again was Capcom's goal, and in my eyes they nailed it.

    People who reviewed and criticised its lack of connection to the RE franchise and no recurring characters have not finished the game. The last fourth or so is like Resident Evil 4/5 on steroids (quite literally) and it's a blast. But I also enjoyed slower pace of the first half, which is more like Outlast than your traditional RE.

    Anyhow, finished the game, loved it, will definitely play it again a couple times, 10/10. It might be my second favourite RE game now after RE2 Remake :)

    I admire that the devs had the courage to completely reimagine Resident Evil. It has some amazing wow-moments and the graphics on PC are awesome (played it in 4k on a GTX 1080). Definitely the best horror game I ever played!

    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.

    The true fan will enjoy this. It's truly atmospheric and still engaging. I recommend you play the demo several times over. There is a multitude of endings and clearly shows a less linear path. You won't be disappointed with the results.

    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…
    I Give Resident Evil 7 biohazard
    a 9.5/10

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.

    I've played: Silent Hill series, Resident Evil series, Evil Within and F.E.A.R series.

    + Survival-horror is actually back with a decent mix of action!
    + Item management is back as well. You need to carefully decide on which items you should at certain points.
    + 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.

    The first part of the game is Outlast with a shotgun and penknife. The second part is Left4Dead and Resident Evil 4 (spoiler: only without Leon).

Com Resident Evil 7, a franquia tentou - e conseguiu - trazer de volta elementos essenciais do jogo. Atmosfera tensa, ambientação fechada, exploração de cenário, escassez e administração de recursos, inimigos mais resistentes. Todos esses elementos típicos dos clássicos do final dos anos 90 estão de volta em RE7.

    O jogo sofreu algumas críticas mais fortes, em especial quanto à câmera em primeiro pessoa, o protagonista pouco carismático e a mudança de história em relação aos acontecimentos dos jogos anteriores. Contudo todas essas mudanças se deram con base em escolhas propositais da Capcom, que pretendia fazer um soft reboot na franquia, já que o rumo que foi tomado pelos últimos jogos desagradou bastante os fãs.

    Apesar destas críticas, o jogo é um ótimo survival horror, traz de volta a sensação que se tinha ao jogar os RE clássicos, sendo muito divertido para quem curte o gênero. O jogo foi um ótimo ressurgimento da franquia!

    I really didn't like the direction Resident Evil was going starting from RE5. It increasingly becoming an action game rather than survival horror, which RE1 was ALL about. But RE7 takes things back to the first page, and amps it up. The plot pulls you in right at the opening. You're going to look for your long lost wife, who has been missing for 3 years. 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.

    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.

    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.

    The black, sharp-toothed, and slimy amalgamation creatures called “The Molded” which take the place of zombies are hard to kill and disturbing to look at, plus their spawns are not only random but appear in unexpected ways. I had one drop through the ceiling, completely catching me off guard!
    The bosses of this game are no hidden object. Each one is shown clearly to you and through papers and notes it’s explained how they are just normal residents until they come into contact with a certain, inhuman substance.
    Since we are talking about the bosses I might as well talk about the boss battles. This game contains some of the most unique boss battles I’ve ever seen in video games. With multiple ways to play them, and mortifying character designs these have been the scariest, and the most creative boss fights I’ve EVER experienced. Except for the final boss battle. That one was a bit underwhelming. Still doesn’t detract from the rest of the game though.
    The map has a compact/claustrophobic feel, but is actually much bigger than it looks. There are so many routes and passageways that lead to many different areas plus some convenient shortcuts to help you get back to old areas faster. I truly applaud the level designers for their ingenuity when creating this amazing set!
    So to wrap up, this is a truly great throwback to the older start of the franchise with new and modern features to make it a more interesting play.

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

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    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.

    I found it very atmospheric and engaging. Played it with earphones and often had a high pulse and was utterly horrified. Must be insane with Virtual Reality Gear. Everything from graphic style to subtle sound effects and carefully placed gore scenes is meant to constantly put you on edge. Not many games (if any) have managed to put this effect on me.

    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.

    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. .

    I usually write reviews to complain of an especially bad title, but this time I'm doing this out of awe.
    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

    This game is a fantastic revitalization of Resident Evil. The plot isn't terribly deep, and the protagonist is forgettable, but what Resident Evil game is known for its deep and intricate plot?

    The gameplay is a nice mix of old and new, the modernized but slightly clunky controls recreate the feeling of days of old, only instead of using tank controls to create tension, it uses a limited field of vision and inaccurate aiming. Every enemy is a threat, even when there's only one of them. They never get de-valued. You never feel like some superhuman.

    They also kept the intricate environment exploration and unique puzzle solving, as well as adding unique and memorable villains, and at no point does the game feel like it's getting repetitive.

    People complain about how short it is, but the game lasts about 10 hours, and that's about the average length of any normal game. Besides, I would take a 10 hour game with no filler over a 70 hour game stuffed with filler any day.

    RE7 is a Resident Evil game through and through, and a fantastic one at that. It deserves a spot among REmake and RE4.

From experience it seems there's always people out there to slam games or give them a perfect 10 just to offset the medium. But I wanted to write a review directed at true RE fans and those who appreciate a good single player game. Do not listen to the people who gave this gaming review of zero or just flat-out hated on it, I understand some people don't enjoy the games as much as others but if you like Resident Evil and like a good horror and survival game you will not be disappointed. 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. This game may not be a 10 but easily an 8 or 9. Expand

    The characters are fine, and the story is good enough to keep you going and I have to mention that the second act could be better than it was... still okay, though; with some clichè here and there that kind of resemble some other games that this one is inspired of. I actually liked it :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personalized story more than the stories of the previous sections that catches you where the fate of the world depends on you. 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.

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.

    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.
