    +There are many nods to the classic Resident evil 1-3 in this game.
    +A step forward from re6, not backwards.
    +Ammo felt sparse in hardest difficulty giving that OS moment when they hand you a ton bullets and you know something nasty is around the corner.
    +Inventory space management is very similar to old resident evils. You have to decide which items stay in your inventory and what need to be saved in the classic themed "safe rooms chests."
    +Use of combining and examine was executed perfectly.
    +Plenty of panic moments to try to bait you into eating your bullets up.
    +Items were actually very well hidden, i'm sure without the a certain item in the game I would have missed some items hiding in dark corners. Maybe could have decreased the duration of those, and made them more rare as a craft only item so you have to waste potential items which could have been used on health/ammo so decision making is required.

    Cons:
    (-1 point) -Game was very short, but given the fact most of the time was spent working on a new framework, that is common in game development. Whichever comes first, I expect Re8 or Re2 Remake to be much longer using this framework. If the next game isn't longer, you'll get more than 1 point knocked off my review for that game. 17 hours should be how long i'm stuck on a single puzzle, not how long it takes to complete the game.
    (-1 point) - AI needs some major improvement. Monsters kept running into doors and got stuck in the corner allowing you to just go up and kill them without them moving. The second boss encounter required no skill at all and was not enjoyable for me. That cliche item should not have been usable in that boss fight. Make me waste my ammo and run out if i screw up instead.

    -WHERE'S THE TYPEWRITER? Typewriter was iconic and should have been used to be able to save. I'm sure most of the people playing this game have used one before and it doesn't need to be modernized to a tape recorder to appeal to younger audience.
    -No VR support.
    - Fix the lip sync, 144hz 1440p with adjusted settings caused audio desynch even when frames were optimal. Finally managed to fix with bloom settings.
    -Textures. The game looks really good in 1440p, but certain things were very noticeable when you used a low res door or a low res picture hanging in the hallway. Even the leaves on the stairs right, on the ground outside the 3dog looked bad to me. Give me a slider in the next game where I can adjust those setting.
    -Stagger. More stagger! What happened to trial and error on where the hit spot is on enemies?
    - Secrets were too easy and there weren't enough puzzles to make it challenging. When I think of RE I think, tough puzzles while danger lurks around the other corner. Not once did i have pressure to hide from an enemy while doing a puzzle.
    - Really felt like the hardest difficulty needed to be unlocked already and a middle ground between that and normal needed to exist.

    Overall, if you are a fan of the classic resident evils and need a game to beat over the weekend, this game is worth purchasing right away if you can't wait. I don't feel like it was worth $60 due to it's length, but didn't want to wait for a sale.    … Expand

    This is without a doubt the change the franchise needed, the first person view felt weird at first, but it becomes way more inmersive as the movement is more fluid (you can turn around 180º pressing x, so it is smooth enough not to make the whole movement with your mouse a pain in the ass)

    Puzzles are fun and well though, the Baker Mansion feels so much bigger than what you think at first, and the level design makes every room connect in a clever way, enemy variety is good and the game itself is scarier than ever.

    The game isn't very long (7-8 hours) and isn't very challenging (i don't really see this as a flaw, it would be weird if i had a jumpscare replay for the fifth time i die trying to beat a boss)

    There are some clear references to other games and earlier titles in this franchise, so that's a nice adding,

    I'm only 3 hours into the game and so far I'm really enjoying the experience. The fear factor is there, the graphics are very good, the story is weird in a positive way. The only downside I can think of is that the game is a bit too lineal, And sometimes a little bit too repetitive. A few friends of mine also told me the game isn't long enough and can be completed in like 10 hours. ButI'm only 3 hours into the game and so far I'm really enjoying the experience.

In the story you are Ethan Winters, whose wife has been missing for 3 years and finally contacts him asking him to come and get her. The story feels strong at first but starts to feel weaker at the end because of lack of information.
    Basic enemies are slime monsters, and after awhile you will know when you can expect to see them. But the real enemy is Baker's family: Jack, Marguerite, and Lucas. All of them have unique fighting styles, which I'm not going to spoil. The whole story takes about 8-10 hours the first time, but it does have replay value. After finishing the story you feel like you've survived true horror.
    I recommend you play this on madhouse difficulty. Then it really feels like a classic Resident Evil game, because you have a limited amount of cassette tapes that you can use to save a game. And if you die you return to the last cassette player. Ammo and heal items are very limited. As a long time Resident Evil fan I'm happy to see that Capcom did a good job on this game. I just wish part of the story wouldn't be DLC, which ruins some of the experience.
    Overall the controls and the story are good, and it really feels like good old Resident Evil. If you are a horror game fan I can say it's worth buying. I give this game 8/10.    … Expand

The game's one flaw is the one that everyone has been talking about: the lack of enemy variety. That being said, the main antagonists; The Bakers are terrifying and make for some of the most horrifying enemies I've ever seen in a game. Major props to Capcom for taking a big risk, but it absolutely payed off, and I greatly look forward to the RE series continuing in this style!… Expand

    Game itself is good, however I encountered some issues with the PC version. Let me explain:

    I had initially planned to play the game with a gamepad on my 4K TV, however this is when issues started.

In fact, on my TV, I wasn't able to set it at anything above 30 hz unless I set the    Game itself is good, however I encountered some issues with the PC version. Let me explain:

    I had initially planned to play the game with a gamepad on my 4K TV, however this is when issues started. For whatever reason, I was unable to set the game to operate at 60 hz when I set the resolution to 4K. In fact, on my TV, I wasn't able to set it at anything above 30 hz unless I set the resolution down to 1080p. So, I look online and find that other people are having this issue, however there is no definitive way to fix this issue. (And before people ask, my GTX 1080 can handle 4K 60 hz no problem, and my HDMI cable was fine according to Nvidia Control Panel.) So, after my initial frustrations, I decided to play the game on my 1440p Gsync monitor. Luckily, the game was able to detect 144 hz at 1440p. (I have a feeling that this game just prefers Display Port cables for anything above 1080p 60 hz. But seeing as my TV doesn't have a Display Port connection and an adapter would require me to completely change my sound setup on my TV for the game, that's not going to happen either.)

    When playing on my monitor, I prefer to use a keyboard and mouse over a gamepad, which is when the next issue started. For whatever reason, the game would refuse to use my keyboard and mouse for input, despite not having any controller plugged in. I tried the next logical step (I'm looking at you Dark Souls), which was disabling any controller drivers on my computer. I still couldn't use my keyboard and mouse. So, I get frustrated once again and look online, where yet again people are encountering this issue. I then saw a YouTube video that gave a workaround; you have to plug in a controller (X-Input more than likely), start and close the game, and then start the game. This actually worked, however the method behind getting things to work is incredibly stupid; I have to plug a controller in to use a keyboard and mouse.

    Similar to Street Figher V's PC release, the graphics settings are good, if not great even, however the control options and screen options are pretty limiting. But unlike Street Fighter V, Resident Evil 7 is a complete game at launch, so I can actually recommend it for its gameplay. I will be happy to give this game a higher score if things are properly patched, however I think a 7/10 is the appropriate score for now. (If people want to know, I would have easily given this game an 8/10 if I didn't encounter these issues.)    … Expand

    Game is well optimezed, has a great spooky atmosphere, but gameplay is whole afwul piece of :D. So, in the beggining you cannot kill anything, they still surviving and trying to kill you. This annoying gameplay kills every well design aspect of the game. Atmosphere - 7/10, optimisation - 9/10, gameplay - 9/10. Overall 5-6/10. Don't cost this 60$ for the game.

    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 :)    … Expand

    Five Word Review: Action down, horror to eleven.
    Favorite Thing: They doubled down on the horror and it paid off. It's a great horror experience similar to another one of my favorites, Outlast.
    Least Favorite Thing: Boss fights rely almost solely on brute force.

    Playtime: 13h
    Enjoyment: 9/10
    Recommendation: Most definitely

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil 7 was a nice comeback to the series. It's not the best but that sensation of classic Resident Evil was still there but now in first person.
    It's not the best RE game but it's definitely worth checking out. Capcom tried something new and I really liked it for what it was especially coming off of the painful RE6. I had more laughs than scares though.

    The only part I didn't like was the final two hours where it turned into an action game rather than conserving weapons and ammo. (The boat)

    A good mix of old school and modern mixed together. Could've been more better though. Overall its good.    … Expand

    Меня больше пугали монстры не своим видом или появлением, а тем что погибнув придется опять еле-еле тащится до них. В этом плане игра даже немного надоедает..
    Плосковато.

    Как и характеры героев. Понятно ведь это не РПГ, но простой цивил попал в Дом кошмаров, а он ноль эмоций. Кроме ответа на "Groovy" мистера Бейкера "нет, это не круто" и вспомнить нечего.
    Остальные вообще ничем не примечательны.
    Вариативность концовок вообще 12 из 10.
    Блеск.
    Это не понравилось.
    Понравился геймплей и подача сюжетной линии.
    Игра не успевает надоедать, постоянно изменяя саму себя. От хоррора к шутеру переход не заметен и плавен, но судя по всему ставку на сам хоррор не было. Иначе ее бы точно можно было обвинить в аутластозависимости.
    А так мне не показалось, что капком слишком много заимствовал у Аутласт.
    Технически не вызвала нареканий лично у меня на высоких от 100 фпс и судя по всем отзывам большинство проблем возникло у владельцев продукции от амд.
    Таковы реалии рынка. С кем разработчик сотрудничает, те системы и в приоритете.

    В общем и целом история о влиянии мутированных грибов на семейства реднеков, вышла на твердый середняк и является отличным открытием нового игрового года среди крупных проектов.

    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.
