    I kind of liked it but I can't recommend it for $60. It's a breath of fresh air for the series but I think the game is a year or two late. It has a good atmosphere but so do a lot of $15-$30 horror/walking games on Steam. It adds little new to the table besides an alright (kind of slow/clunky at times) combat system. Had it been $30 I'd say go for it.

    3 hours was all I could stomach from RE7. After 3 hours of crawling around a Scary House™, looking for keys like it's 1998, dealing with horrendous laggy shooting controls combined with such severe ammo shortage that if you miss a couple of shots you might as well reload and lose 20 minutes of progress... being chased by the same immortal hillbilly grandpa over and over again and3 hours was all I could stomach from RE7.

    Why keep playing this? For the archaic gameplay? For the repetitive bossfights with glitchy "mechanics"? (Oh I'm sure I'd get to fight hillbilly grandma too later on, does she go "YEEHAWWW AMA GIT YOU SON" while she's chasing you as well? Terrific). For the horror? There is no horror. Have you seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Good, now watch it again. How scared do you feel the 5th time you watch it? This is how scary this game is, because everything feels like a copy of a copy of a reference to a western horror b-movie. Repetitive, boring and annoying as hell to play. Stay away.    … Expand

    There is no psychological aspect of the story, no clever symbolism, no eerie atmosphere, and no memorable characters. There is only pointless struggle with enemies that are invulnerable until the plot says otherwise, everything is scripted and linear, and all the "difficulty" comes from clumsy tank-like gamepad controls that are defacto standard for console FPS games. You cannot properly aim with the gamepad, but if you opt for the mouse, it only mimics gamepad analog sticks, so you get a molasses-slow aiming with tons of lag as a bonus.

    If you like heaps of innards, livers, lungs, blood, cheap sadism and jumpscare scenes, then by all means go for it and buy the game. It's one of the few titles that made me physically nauseated, which is an unique achievement.

    If you seek something like Evil Within or Silent Hill, stay away, this game is as brainless as its characters.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is an atrocious abomination of a once-great franchise. The game has no story or plot relevant to the rest of the Resident Evil universe. Every character is forgettable and generic and again has no connection to the entire RE story as a whole; Ethan is about as memorable as a wet paper towel. Capcom also lied about a returning character. Don't bother.

    RESIDENT EVIL VII is not scary, often times you'll be laughing because it is ridiculous. It's just full of predictable cheap jump scares and illogical BS, for instance you get your hand hacked off - no problem, just staple it back on, 2 minutes later it's as if nothing ever happened. Chainsaw wounds? No problem! Just eat an herb: insta-heal!
    Graphics are advertised as photo realistic - what a joke! Just look at the washed-out textures and you'll come to the conclusion that some games of 2015 look much better than this 2017 release! Then there's plenty of clipping errors - for scripted sequences!
    The playable character Ethan along with all the others are just bland stereotypes, especially the Texas Chainsaw family - I mean the Baker family. Dialogues are just atrocious and make no sense (Ethan's girlfriend urging Ethan to come save her, but not to come. Huh?!).
    You get one horror cliche following a jump scare, followed by more cliches. I did enjoy RESIDENT EVIL 1 & 2 when they came out in the 1990s. The recent RESIDENT EVIL 2 remake is pretty good with a mod that takes out the annoying Mr. X/Tyrant and gets rid of those horrible camera angles and the crappy aiming of the 90s games. It is good to do something new with RE 7, by ditching 3rd person POV for a 1st person experience, but man did Capcom **** to bed with the story!

    BRAVO!! as a day one fan this game is what we wanted after 1,2,3 & CV before it drifted away with 4,5 &6 and became a non horror game which were CoD like with no real survival. 7 brought the series back on it's feet!!

    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.

    A well made horror game with a good story and maybe a bit confusing in the beginning for the RE fans and I think makers must be careful, cuz they are opening a new door in RE game series. It was nice and fun after all and I liked it. I wish the best for them.

    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

Por último, en cuanto a la duración del mismo, a mi me ha durado en "normal" (en una primer vuelta no puedes elegir la dificultad más elevada, si no que se te desbloquea al terminar la primera vez) exactamente 9 horas y 31 minutos, osea que no está mal para un videojuego de estas características... Si le tengo que poner alguna pega, y de ahí el 8, serían los cuelgues y ralentizaciones que sufre en ocasiones (sin necesidad), el que haya muy poca variedad de monstruos y el que cuando corres, no sé, si mi vida dependiera de ello, os aseguro que correría mucho más que el protagonista, porque telita...

    Resident Evil 7 - a nice update of the series. The sixth part finally turned into a stupid action, revelations and revelations 2 was a good branches, and I enjoyed playing in them, waiting here. But resident evil has become monotonous and dull, to scare us long ceased. Resident Evil 7 was a new look to the series.
    Don't know whether it was necessary to attribute the number 7, because the    Resident Evil 7 - a nice update of the series. The sixth part finally turned into a stupid action, revelations and revelations 2 was a good branches, and I enjoyed playing in them, waiting here. But resident evil has become monotonous and dull, to scare us long ceased. Resident Evil 7 was a new look to the series.
    Don't know whether it was necessary to attribute the number 7, because the game is not related to the series (behind small exceptions). The game could be the next spin-off, but Capcom decided to emphasize the importance of this game. Let's be honest - the first-person view, the developers certainly made for VR. Well, okay, the more the mansion is much nicer to explore in the first person: you can carefully examine all, and to literally feel yourself in the shoes of Ethan - graphics in this game are extremely good, and the VR effect of immersion increase, so the first person can be forgiven.
    Types of enemies are few, they are in essence 2 kinds: pleskavica and the Bakers, insects too, but they do not want for enemies to count. Plesnevyj 4 types: regular, long arm, blade, fast and puking. Diversity there are no enemies at all. Where are the least dogs? From the Bakers I liked Jack - it is a colorful boss, a real maniac. His wife me no problems at all, delivered, and location with it is extremely easy. Their son is even worse - shoot bombs and solve puzzles. Yes, in this game the enemies are not very specified. Many claim that zombies do not exist. Well, they are with us long gone. 4 parts were parasites, revelations 1-2 is also not a zombie.
    Puzzles... We all remember the demo beginning hour with the cassette and different puzzles. Nothing like that in the game there. Easier puzzles I have not seen. And magazines is very small, I thought they were going to play a big role, or will have to know the background (Yes, we just get previous events, but this is not enough).
    Resident Evil 7 not Outlast, we here give enough to shoot, and we hide only in the first third of the game. The last third of the fully action - it's not what you would expect. For me, the best part of the game - before leaving the house with three goals. Then not so scared for his life, although the atmosphere remains. It is a pity that the developers again decided that once the game is in first person, it is possible not to prescribe the main character, because the player will be easier with him associated. And we got a little emotional Ethan: cut off the hand, whatever, this every day; cut down leg - don't care; wife crazy - 4ack. Yeah, he's not the most silent, and sometimes says something, but not enough.
    Resident Evil 7 will make you survive, to scare would be, too, but mostly Boo moments. The game is very atmospheric, even when there are no enemies, you're still scared by different sounds, and the unknown dark passage ahead. The game keeps the tension, though by the end you will run and shoot all at times two. The game should have ended on the departure of Ethan with his wife (or her), or add more of the same frightening and atmospheric moments as before. But after the blame game don't want to, I want to go again the atmospheric part of the house. Recommend to beat the game is the best survival horror in recent years, soak up the atmosphere, slowly explore the house, this is not the same resident evil, but give him a chance.    … Expand

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.… Expand

The evil within tried this but it ultimately failed. I have not tried this in VR but If i did im sure I would of pooped my pants a few times. This isn't a flawless game tho, It does have its issues. Enemy variety would of been great other than the main villains themselves. Also for those who say this too short of game for a full retail price just take a look at RE2 or 3.. you can complete those games in less than 3 hours each if you really try. Go out and play this game! Capcom deserves your money for their attention to detail, story and scares alone! 9/10… Expand

    Magnificent technical realization. Many moments of tension. Unfortunately the game is too easy, and the script pretty dirty. The survival mode is what should really have been the game.
    It is not worth buying it unless it is on sale. Pay attention to me and you will save money.

    It didn't have the sheer terror factor that say, Silent Hill Shattered Memories had on me, with faceless goons chasing you through seemingly endless labyrinths. This is more of an acceptable, typical exploration, loot, and escape game. I don't think there was ever a point where I didn't want to go forward because I was too afraid, it keeps the scares tame, and the action and tension high. Gore plays a part, but it's well placed in a way to show you how savage the bakers are, and to establish exactly what will happen when they catch you.

    The scares don't come from Jump Scares and extreme gore, as many others have said, but actually from nuanced sound effects, and the unexpected placement of the baker family. You never know when you turn a corner whether you're going to meet Mad Jack, the invulnerable farm-dad with his big old pitchfork, or Marguerite, the lantern carrying cockroach vomiting bug woman, or your psycho ass girlfriend.

    You'll be creeping along hoping none of the baker's hear you, when the floorboards will creak, or a window will rattle at you. Most of the time, but not always, it's nothing but the wind, but it keeps you on edge regardless.

    The plot feels like it could have used more work, given as the majority of it is explained in a number of books near the end of the game, instead of learned throughout. Some characters, such as Zoe, also feel shoehorned in just to give the player a purpose to "go forward". It's also inconsistent in it's storytelling, noting at one point that "you can't cure them because the infection has been in them for too long", while in the DLC you realise that the person who "can" be cured, was infected the very same day.

    Overall though, a lacking plot and Zoe aside, the game fluidly transitions from an alien isolation style escape game into a call of duty shooter, with the theme of the Evil Dead heavily worked in. It's a great play, and easy to stay engaged in from the very start to the very finish.

    Not a must-play, but certainly a good few hours of enjoyable house-escape nonsense.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I recommend this game BUT I was VERY close to not recommending it.

    I am totally divided by this game. I don't really care about the new direction. They wanted a change they decided on first person. That is fine.

    The visuals were great, it ran well enough on my GTX 1070 and i5 6400, that I could run it at 60fps, 1440p with everything on max except AA and then I even bumped the resolution scaling up a couple of notches as well. So it runs very well indeed.

    I enjoyed the throw backs to the original Resi games. Although I think some were a little TOO familiar. Swapping a shotgun with a broken one for example. Stupid and lacking creativity.

    It was also WAY too easy. Not combat wise that was fine but puzzle wise it was kind of pathetic. Basically didn't need a brain to play this. Never once did I even need to think about a puzzle. You find something that you need and more often than not you will be handed that exact thing not a minute later. Which boils it down to a straight action game for the most part.

    Story wise it was okay. I do like that they are trying to tie it into the main franchise. I personally loved the originals and while it will never match the T-virus Racoon City story arches trying to get it in there somewhere is fine by me.

    What I didn't really like was The Bakers and Eveline. I just think the entire premise is crap. The stupid sludge enemies are lame. Didn't scare me in the slightest. In the originals you had the T-virus which was applied in LOADS of different ways. It spawned grey heads, crimson heads, dogs, spiders, crows, lickers, giant plants, sharks, Tyrant, Nemesis.

    In this game you have a few red necks, a little girl that voms black stuff and a load of black blobs. So unimaginative!!!!

    And speaking of not scaring people. This game's ONLY scare mechanic is jump scares which makes me feel like they are totally out of ideas already. Jump scares stopped being scary about 10 years ago. EVERYONE jumps at jump scares it is evolutionary. It is also a cliche and out of date. Move on and do something different.

    The dialogue in this game is f***ing terrible. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chases his lost girlfriend right into the middle of a swamp and NOT once did he really ask why. It was like he is a puppet. Being pushed along by the player. Never really questioning why anything is the way it is. He's pathetic.

    That part with the police officer OMFG!! Some of the most pointless lines ever spoken in a game. That part was just totally unnecessary and boring.

    Really not a fan of the respawning enemies as well. Smash a guy's head in with a car and some girders and he just comes back again. BORING!!

    Also having it in first person and this guy's total lack of any human features makes it nearly impossible to give a single shred of a f**k about what happens to him. He could have died at the end and I wouldn't have cared. He just doesn't act HUMAN! No one would act like he does in this game.

    Also that stupid "choice" they give you between saving Zoe or.......(I've actually forgotten her name that is how forgettable she was) the other one. I've never been given a choice in a game I've cared SO LITTLE ABOUT. He should have left them both there. At least then they'd have some company.

    It was all just so forgettable. So uninteresting. TOTALLY overhyped.

    The best standout moment for me was the young guy's mazes/puzzles. With the birthday cake. THAT was pretty good. I enjoyed that.

    But everything else I was just going through the motions. There are also some really crappy things like at the end when you are flying away on the helicopter and there is emotional classical music playing. It is totally out of place. There was nothing epic about that ending. Like I said I felt nothing for the c**t you played as and I honestly was kind of glad it was over. Some of the creepy Marylin Manson music from the movies would have gone down a lot better.

    I don't know I just honestly don't think I'll remember much about this game in a few weeks. It's already starting to fade. I actually needed to force myself to keep playing it at some points. I turned it off for bed and then didn't touch it again for a few days.

    This is far from the worst game ever but it is a LONG way from the best games. It is a LONG way from the originals as well. It's worth playing but not remembering.    … Expand

    Creepy reinvention of horror after the too action packed resi evil 6, at first I was a bit lost as to what was going on but by the end I was fully on board. Great graphics and atmosphere combine for a full on resi evil experience.

    Resident Evil 7 is chock full of spectacular cinematic scenes, but what's the point of all that if they're hardly scary at all? Worse, some of them make you laugh.

    The best Resident Evil game in years is only bogged down by the blatantly RE bits. [Issue#259, p.58]

    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.
