    +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. 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

    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

    Глупым считаю и гигантских боссов, которые размером с дом, но не в состоянии раздавить букашку-героя и заботливо подставляют уязвимые части.

    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.

    While i have great memories about the older Resident Evil games and was quiet unsure how this one would turn out, it surprised me. Top notch graphics and an amazing sound design that instills fear while sneaking around the house in the dark, with the whistling wind outside and creaky floorboards around you, make this game one of the better parts of the main series.

    The first part of the game is better, while the end slightly disappoints, due to an abundance of ammo and weapons that make the game less terrifying.    … Expand

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RE7 - это показатель хорошего хоррора с отличной атмосферой. Игра выполнена почти по всем правилам RE, но тематика немного пошла не туда, хотя вышло все отлично. Для меня большим минусом является сам Итан - он не интересный. Все в семье Бейкеров очень интересные личности, и под конец игры, когда вы их ненавидите, вы понимаете всю ситуацию и начинаете их жалеть, что все так произошло. Порадовало возвращение хоть одного старого героя, Криса. Игра хорошая, но она отошла от изначальной концепции RE. Я очнеь надеюсь, что RE8 не будет продолжение за Итана, и мы увидим там Джилл, Криса, Леона и т.д персонажей.

Among the few downsides are a lack of weapon upgrades, something that has been present in the series since RE2, and the weird pacing closer to the end of the game - that part feels like it has been rushed and you'll know why once you play through it.

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.

    Resident Evil 7 is a return to the horror genre from the survival action games that the previous three games had been. Presented in a first person perspective, you play as Ethan, a man who is trying to find his missing wife, who sent him a mysterious message, first telling him not to look for her, then where to find her.

    The game starts off very promising – the house is suitably creepy,    Resident Evil 7 is a return to the horror genre from the survival action games that the previous three games had been. Presented in a first person perspective, you play as Ethan, a man who is trying to find his missing wife, who sent him a mysterious message, first telling him not to look for her, then where to find her.

    The game starts off very promising – the house is suitably creepy, and when you run into the Baker family for the first time, they’re proper horror game enemies. Completely impossible to kill, they are implacable and unstoppable, and all you can do is slow them down and then run and hide. Horrible things happen to the main character, and there is something fundamentally wrong with his wife, Mia. Zoe, who seems to be related to the Bakers in some way, helps you out over the phone, and the whole thing seems to be unfolding rather nicely, as you try to explore a house while being stalked by a man who can’t be stopped and can’t be killed.

    There are even boss fights against these enemies, where you use powerful environmental objects to seemingly cause them severe damage and even “kill” them, but just minutes later they pop back up again and start throwing you around.

    The problem is, the game has to move on, and after that point, the game stops really working.

    The reason for this is fairly simple – when you’re early on in the game, you are weak and helpless. The house is creepy, the enemies are implacable, and you don’t know what’s going on. The few “lesser” enemies you face are really tough to take down and take a ton of shots from the pistol to the head to kill.

    To finally break out of the house, you get a shotgun and you manage to take down one of the Bakers before you break out. The fight is suitably dramatic – after multiple prior encounters where no matter what you did, your foe kept on coming back, here, you can finally do a good number on him, and there isn’t the same sense that he’s just going to pop back up again.

    But at this point, the Bakers are no longer invulnerable, and you are better armed and can actually meaningfully fight back. And this pretty much makes the game fall apart, because now, you know what’s going to happen – you’re going to creep around for a bit, there’s going to be a boss fight, and you’re going to kill them, and then they’ll come back and you’ll kill them again.

    So what was originally a really cool horror game turns into a more action oriented game. The enemies are still not something you want to waste ammo on, but the fact that you know you CAN just take them down makes them feel a lot less menacing – something that stays until a brief section towards the end of the game, where you are temporarily disarmed again (well, sort of. It’s complicated). The feeling of helplessness is gone.

    Worse, after searching the first house, the next two areas just feel like rehashes, where you’re just going up against a different member of the Baker family. The third area does mix up the formula a bit, but it still ends up following the same structure, which makes the game feel too predictable, which undermines the horror.

    And frankly, the other two members of the Baker family just aren’t as good at being intimidating as Jack is.

    The result is something like letting air out of a balloon, as the game feels like it just gradually deflates, transitioning more and more into a FPS game as enemies become less and less of a threat – but it still feels a bit janky, because it was originally a horror game.

    All in all, by the end of it, I was armed to the gills and ready for anything, and while this served as a bit of catharsis, it ultimately felt like the game was too long even at only 10 hours in length.

    It doesn’t help that the protagonists of the game – Ethan and his wife, Mia – are frankly not very interesting characters. Ethan feels kind of generic, and often seems to be kind of useless, and Mia’s character is very vaguely defined for most of the game, until you get to nearly the end of it. And while Jack Baker is a cool foe, the other two members of the family aren’t as interesting, even if a late-game twist tries to fix that.

    So what are my overall feelings on this game?

    On the one hand, the start of the game was really good, and delivered the horror, “don’t get caught” feel very well. On the other hand, the game just kind of goes downhill after you escape the first “real” area of the game.

    So I’m not sure I can really recommend this. It was interesting to play through for a bit, but at the end, I wasn’t terribly invested.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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

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.

You play the game full of his way, or switch between television and virtual reality by referring to the main menu and then supplement your play, and experience remain in their entirety themselves, but when playing virtual reality will feel greater integration with the world of the game, you will feel the size of the place and imminent danger you are Larger.    … Expand

Second time I stopped at the Chainsaw boss fight. Entered with 0 bullets, resulting in an annoying knife fight. The tank controls are fine, but with the addition of accelerated animations of enemies when you're "too" far away make it unfair and annoying. The game is not scary (at least in my opinion). This makes the hide and seek parts the most annoying in the game. As a player I'm not scared of Jack. But the game forces me to hide, making reaching your destination or solving a puzzle not fun and even annoying. Jack even teleports in front of you after some time. Yes, its surprising, but takes away any strategy regarding the route you take etc. The goo enemies are bullet sponges and hard to sidestep in the beginning of the game. There is no indicator of your health (except from the abstract blood on the screen). All this resulted in 2 just not fun playthroughs.
    I appreciate what they did, reviving the RE franchise and I think first person was the right step. But this isn't it for me. And RE8 is, in my opinion, not the right evolution either.

So, why did I pick this up? It looked to deviate from its original philosophy and design, so I thought, yeah, what the heck, let’s give it a shot; and I’m glad I did.

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

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

My score could also be due to my recent completion of RE 2 Remake and riding that high wanted to get a little more RE feels, but it was bittersweet.

    TL.DR - A better VR experience than any other on market, not the most essential RE experience in it's long history. Primarily I feel like in 2017 after RE 6 this game was highly appreciated and it's drawbacks were overlooked more so. But in the long run and now in 2019 after Capcom going back to basics this RE Title will be just another in the boom of FP Horror Sims like the Outlast series.

    Good Stuff first. The opening and the first few hours of the game... really good and was a refreshing blast. Marguerite and Jack were certainly the highest points this game ever reached. The Stealth aspects to the game were good considering I am not a lover of heavy stealth focused games; it felt well balanced between an RE experience and what they were attempting. The VFX still stand even 2 years and a 2019 RE remake later. Looks good on my mid level system and I am sure people with better hardware will have better visuals.
    Special mention/Hats off to the Sound design as this was beyond stellar; the groaning, the creaking, the sounds of footsteps in the Baker home kept me on edge even a few hours into my play through. The story unravels itself well enough to keep you intrigued.
    Most of the antagonists actually have better characterizations than our leading man and lady... Jack and Marguerite Baker were really unnerving in their actions Daddy Jack being really calm even when lit on fire and Marguerite being a neurotic whacko.
    The Mo Cap was also en pointe as it really added to the atmosphere.

    Now to the things that really got me on edge and not in a a good way.
    The controls,
    My Play through was severely curtailed with the slow speed at which the character responded to my action input. I would regularly double press my run button in an attempt to make Ethan move faster only to realize he was already at top speed.
    This majorly annoyed me during the boss battles since it felt as if Ethan's run speed was intentionally throttled a bit more than his usual slow crawl just for an added level of tension especially since most of the boss battles you are in a confined section. This is lazy personally speaking; since nerfing over innovative mechanics is always a bad deal.
    Even the combat felt a bit more linear to most of the RE games I have played as the usually excellent RE weapon based combat fluidity was very weak.
    Certain weapons like the flame thrower was nearly useless outside of the Marguerite section as the mold enemies would regularly just charge through being lit on fire, even though the enemies were primarily mold based and it should have been one of; if not the most effective weapon.

    The healing mechanic was another one that really drove me insane.
    Ethan would spend near to a second admiring his friggin hand after pouring the healing potion along with slowing down his movement. This during boss fights especially and during mob skirmishes meant that while you were healing yourself you are already getting caught up in the next enemy attack; thereby taking damage immediately as you complete the 1.5 second heal or more infuriatingly completely cancel your healing animation probably killing you.
    In an RE game, hell in any Shooter be it action or horror this is a horrible design decision. No knife or Grenade sub command was another baffling decision.

    As for the Enemy Designs there was more bad than good... Other than Ma & Pa Baker every other enemy was just a moving mass of black mold; it got boring really soon since after the Marguerite boss fight they were the only enemies appearing in the world.
    We were in a giant swamp I'm sure the mold could be used to make better and imaginative enemies other than just size variation/bullet sponges.
    Lucas was the second weakest link in my play through as his whole section marked the beginning of a loss of momentum for me, the third Jack battle, the ship section all felt like artificial lengthening to the over all campaign.
    Even the Video Tape sections as a whole were really grinding; it only served to be a huge immersion breaker for me especially during the first few hours completely dissipating any dread built before watching/playing one of these fairly lengthy tapes.

    The game is not the best RE ever, nor it is worthy of zeroes, two's or three's; but it is not the best in the RE series.. Experience it only of you just want to enjoy a good VR experience or just for the sake of a different RE experience. Not a must play at all in my opinion.    … Expand

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

    It's one of the best things that happened to RE franchise.

    Pros.: - Fantastic development overall. - Gameplay. The game evolved into FPS but with survival horror, System Shock, Bioshock-like elements. There are familiar save spots (audio recorders and boxes). You progress through the locations and open them more and more. You may come back and find forgotten secrets or items.

    Pros.:
    - Fantastic development overall.
    - Gameplay. The game evolved into FPS but with survival horror, System Shock, Bioshock-like elements. There are familiar save spots (audio recorders and boxes). You progress through the locations and open them more and more. You may come back and find forgotten secrets or items. You still may kill, but should keep an eye on the inventory. All from the past and best of RE games.
    - Story. Even though the story AGAIN is about a "small little girl with superpowers" (F.E.A.R., movies like "Ring", etc.) it is explained through the virus and experimentation. The virus resembles Uroboros. Still, Evelyn is a vulnerable kid with family issues. Her behavior and dramatic consequences are the results of the mistakes of the adults actually.
    - Characters. Amazing characters of the Baker family, especially Jack ("Howdy") and Lucas. Fantastic development, animation, interactions. It horrifying in several episodes.
    - DLCs are finally worth their money. All DLCs are cool, especially 21, The Room, Sisters. Didn't feel I finished the game without finishing DLCs, especially Nightmare (it was a hell of an experience).

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

    Still, fantastic game. Must buy!    … Expand

    I didn't like it as a RE game, because of the story and first person. But as a horror game it looks fine, with good graphics and AWESOME soundtrack.

    The scariest game in Resident Evil Series, especially when you are chased by the undead.

    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.

    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.
