    A slasher movie salad wrapped up in a tight package of fps survival horror with a clueless protagonist and key searching that suffers from the typical RE flaw. First half being an incredible game and the second half slipping in quality to the point where it may muddle the experience for some.

    Na minha opinião, a gameplay do resident evil 7 foi a melhor escolha que eles puderam ter depois dos fiascos do 5 e 6. História interessante, gameplay boa e boa dose de sustos.

    I've been playing RE all out of order, and that may influence my ratings of them. I've played this one months after playing Village, and it hit me kind of weird. It seems a bit dated.
    But I can understand how this must have felt like fresh air for the series.

    It's worth playing just for the good gameplay.
    The story is too weak. For the characters do not worry. Crumpled ending.

    I'm not sure if i'm on board with the new direction Resident Evil is going starting with this 7th main entry, but i'd be disingenuous if i said that RE7 isnt a good game.

    The new to the series first person perspective works well for the most part, though it still comes off as weird because i've used to playing Resident Evil mostly from a 3rd person perspective, part from the classics,    I'm not sure if i'm on board with the new direction Resident Evil is going starting with this 7th main entry, but i'd be disingenuous if i said that RE7 isnt a good game.

    The new to the series first person perspective works well for the most part, though it still comes off as weird because i've used to playing Resident Evil mostly from a 3rd person perspective, part from the classics, and grown accustomed to bonding myself with protagonists in 3 dimensions, where as i couldnt do the same with Ethan, with whom you play majority of the game. 3rd person perspective is the reason why Jill, Chris, Leon, Claire etc. are so popular, beloved and recognizeable, same cant be said about Ethan.
    Speaking of characters, i do not like their uncanny valley ''realistic'' looks, Mia especially is just...unpleasant looking. Not a fan in general with game developers desperetly chasing realism with their character designs, very few pull it off well, most come up with freaky, uncanny looking designs that will age poorly with time. Franchises that have relied on stylised or semi-realistic looking characters, like Resident Evil, should stick to their guns. And womens long hair physics in RE7 are some of the most laughable i've yet seen aswell. The overall character designs just come off as bland and boring due to the realism focus.
    And what in the hell did Capcom do to Chris Redfield in RE7 ? He nor looks, nor sounds, nor feels like anything Chris Refield should.

    When it comes to the horror aspect, RE7 delivers. The atmosphere was pulled off expertly, where ever you are across the bayou and Baker farm, the game doesnt stop delivering a moody atmosphere, an unsettling feeling and dread. Star of the setting easily was the Baker place, as it felt like a genuinenly lived in home and location. The latter part of the game that takes place in other locations, despite seeing many ''professional'' reviewers lambasting them, didnt fair that much worse either in my opinion, they offered different environments than that of Baker's and still managed to deliver unease and suspense.

    RE7's story managed to suprise me. While there were some questionable decisions made by the devs, such as the tired old trope of a binary choice option at a crucial narrative point in the game, which even doesnt matter later on once Capcom makes the canonical choice in a related DLC for the game, but all in all i enjoyed what the story had to offer quite a bit. From the outset the game makes Baker family look like these grotesque monsters whom you either cant wait to kill or get away from, but as the game progresses you start seeing them from a very different perspective and sympathising with them. One of the Baker home characters doesnt feel just right during the game, but during the final stint of the main story, the character gives you a very satisfying ''makes sense'' feeling that you always had about them, but couldnt put your finger on it. Coming back to realism that RE7 strives towards so much, at times the game doesnt know what it wants to be, either this more serious horror experience, or dark comedy, it's not a major botheration, but that conflicting nature can be weird and somewhat confusing at times.

    It took time to get used to the tanky and somewhat clunky controls of Ethan in first person, though i still didnt like them all that much by the end of the game, i realise it's a survival horror game first, action second, but damn Capcom, an average man should be a tad more athletic and agile than that.

    Gunplay felt adequate, shotgun especially had a satisfying kick to it and sound effects for the guns were done quite nicely, blasting the Mold in the head was one of the most satisfying parts of the gameplay. If there's anything that i wish was more robust then it would be the aim down sights zoom view, as you cant really aim down the actual sights, rather just extend the side way view aim of the firearms.
    The boss battles were fun, except for the one with Lucas, as it relied too much on good ole Capcom's ''shoot the orange bits'' trope and the area was a pain to navigate. And screw whoever came up with the spitting attack for big fat blob enemy type, as they can hit you even if you stand still behind solid objects, which didnt exactly feel like a intentional part of the game's design. The overall enemy variety didnt offer much in visual and mechanical variety, but regardless offered a decent challenge and were fun to fight against, except when the game overwhelms you with various enemy types at once.

    RE7 on PC comes with some graphical issues too. The HBAO+ option is broken, if enabled it introduces very annoying ghosting effect to shadows of environmental objects. Texture setting also is a mess. The quality of textures doesnt improve past Medium, but if you go past it anyway, the game introduces severe stuttering. There's moderate issues with texture streaming too, as they tend take their sweet time to fully load during gameplay.    … Expand

    I liked it on my first playtrough. The house and the Baker family give a great dark atmosphere. But as soon as you left the house(s), it gets pretty boring. The ship is boring and the salt mines are no survival horror anymore, just an ordinary shooter level. On the second playtrough at "madhouse" difficulty, all items and enemies are on different places, but its not nearly the sameI liked it on my first playtrough.

    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    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

    Resident Evil 7 brings some of the feel of older RE titles back with a few twists. The game plays basically the same as the older ones with the setting and survival horror styled mechanics like saving your ammo, health and such, but unlike any other main entry in the series Resident Evil 7 is not played from fixed camera angles, but from first person.

In my mind it doesn't really change the feel of the game in either way, but I understand if it shocks some hardcore fans like me. The story on the other hand isn't really all that great (well it's Resident Evil duhh) as it feels too similar to other games of the same gender. All in all the setting is good and the Bakers are a terrifying enemy, but that's just it cause the other enemies feel a bit overused and boring after a while. Sound is great, atmosphere nice, but still the game does not feel Resident Evil to me. I don't know maybe I'm just stuck in the past with my ink ribbons, Jill and Wesker. Although I would give it a shot regardless if you are a RE fan or a fan of horror games in general. I'll be playing this again when I get a better PC.… Expand

    We saw a lot of things from other games for example: alien isolation, SOMA, P.T Silint hill and others. And on it we aren't always frightened in this game. It is a lot of skrimer and probably they make this game of such terrible. I had liked a game I waited for it and was generally happy with a gameplay.

    Old game. Original, interesting, but unfortunately they did not give more work to the cinematography and story of Eveline. They showed her a couple of times and that's it, there is no compassion or narration. Only puzzles and nondescript monsters. But mr. Baker and his "spider" wife was great. Stupid notes instead of cutscenes.

I dont really like this game that much but i do like the intricate level design. the whole boat section i really hate and detest. Boss fights can be hard and also very funny, more often than not the bullets do not really work as intended which makes it scary and hilarious to play this game. Did not like it as much as RE2 remake but i think this game is pretty good in its own right and i can appreciate its design philosophy, my main gripe is the weird camera angles and motion blur sometimes can distract from the experience. Puzzles can be overly complicated and some boss fights not well done.… Expand

    A atmosfera do jogo e a ambientação são ótimas, mas eu sinto que focou demais no terror, na opressão, às vezes até no grotesco e bizarro, e isso meio que me tira um pouco a diversão, tratando-se de um resident evil, onde uma das coisas que mais gosto é o gerenciamento de itens definir mais o combate que se você está nervoso com um inimigo que você não consegue enfrentar direito por ele ser muito resistente e ser um saco acertar na cabeça.
    No mais, acho um bom jogo, com boms personagens e com um rumo que não foi ruim pra franquia. Algumas coisas foram bons rascunhos pro próximo, então foi muito mérito a este game, apesar de eu não sentir um fator replay deste.    … Expand

    Good atmosphere, great bosses and ... good chapter designs (until the final chapters) make it a good game.
    But it has some weakness:
    Rather than being scary, it's more stressful.
    In the final stages, there is no special innovation in scaring and it's a little repetitive.
    Also final boss is a joke.

    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.
