    A good horror game as its own, but it has the wrong name. The psychology horror works well in silent hill universe, but it's silly in RE universe. This could be a great spin-off, but they just abandon two loyal fanbases. They are original fanbase of RE1, RE2 , RE3, and the action horror fanbase of RE4, RE5 and RE6. I can see that RE7, RE8 and RE9 will be VR games, and once it gets old. TheA good horror game as its own, but it has the wrong name.

The game is like marketers write list of what people think is "cool" in Resident Evil game and then get an army of people working on soulless production line to produce. The only good team left at Capcom are the Monster Hunter team. All the other talent that had the capability of putting that something special into a game left along time ago. They just use Resident Evil name to sell you a production line product for people tricked by 'poor game with high production value' that use recognized IP.… Expand

    This game is so boring, all you do is walk around and manage inventory. The only thing "Resident Evil" about this game is the title. Everything else is a total departure from the franchise including the fact that its a FPS. Hard pass, No buy!

But the relation with the roots of the franchise is nonexistent, yeah the game has limited resources and saves, and puzzles and you have to manage an inventory... and that's all... in other words the only thing that resembles to the classic ones is that is a survival horror, but that's all, not all the survival horror games are Resident Evil (like Alone in the Dark IV, it has limited resources, saves, puzzles... and is not a Resident Evil), trust me, these game doesn't bring any other element of classic Resident Evils aside from the genre.

    The atmosphere doesn't fit with Resident Evil at all, I'm not saying is bad for a horror game, but in a Resident Evil game doesn't fit at all, in the older games you were on mansions, castles, police stations... all those places have kind of rich and decadent look, the location on this one however is just a redneck house full of rubbish.

    The mechanics are kinda mix of Alien Isolation meets Clock Tower, which is not bad, but again is not Resident Evil roots, and as I said before, all the other elements like, limited resources or puzzles are in almost every survival horror game, so it doesn't make it more Resident Evil.

    The Bakers are just lame, I remember when in RE2 you were chased by MrX or in RE3 you were chased by Nemesis, those two were intimidating, you knew you wouldn't survive a fight against them, on this game however you get a redneck family that wear shovels... they're pathetic.

    The camera is a point were everyone should agree, I don't like it but is not the first camera change on the franchise they already did in games like RE Survivor for the PS1 or in RE4 onwards (though it wasn't a first person point of view), anyway the camera change in this case is to make it more similar to modern/generic horror games and to sell more VR, in other words just a gimmick to get more people buy the game and the VR.

    Also... Were are the characters? The older Resident Evil games were full of characters aside from the antagonist, you had partners, maybe they weren't well writted at all (somebody wants a Jill sandwich?), but to be fair that was part of the essence, Resident Evil was like a B movie all along full of memorable characters. On this one you have your generic faceless protagonist (thank god at least he has a name), the rednecks (aka Leatherface family), your possesed girlfriend and the black guy (who like in all horror movies dies first) and that's all...

    The story is a mess, it isn't related to the franchise in any way, is a mix between Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Evil Death, the paranormal stuff is completely out of place, I don't care they try to give it an explanation, they just put that garbage that doesn't fit in a Resident Evil game and tried to get out with it with some lame excuse.

    I can't say everything about this game is wrong, but I can't put a grade higher than 4 because it isn't a Resident Evil, because Capcom lied to all Resident Evil fans (once again) and to be fair is just another generic horror game... By all the means disappointing. If they wanted to create a new IP they should have done it, instead of doing a DMC all over again.    … Expand

    Goodbye classic awesome Resident Evil, hello generic modern first person horror that is Resident Evil in name only. Resident Evil was never about over the top horror it was about B move settings and stories and memorable characters. Plus the first person makes it a no go.

    Forgotten characters, only Mia was good.
    Fight with bosses, ridiculous and confusing.
    First-person camera is horrible.
    Incomplete history with holes for DLC.
    Simple and unexplained ending.
    Cool ambience, but bosses make lots of jokes that take away the terror.

    To resume, it's a generic first person horror game, not Resident Evil, and a boring one too: walk simulator with inventory, that's what the point and click games are, and there are really good ones. Why first person? well, for the PSVR of course, it was not necessary but they've implemented this trying to sell the latest 'throw up' technology.

    The best hour of the game is the first hour you spend with it but this quickly wears off once you start to notice the same old pattern as you play. The game is not as open as the old school games, normally anything you find would have to kept until later on in the game, this means it forces you to make dangerous trips back and forth while managing your items carefully however in RE7 anything you find will most likely be used in the area you're in. I've noticed the Baker family events are scripted aswell and unlike Nemesis in RE3 is not random at all.

    At the end of the day this is a poor mans Resident Evil and being first person does not help. I'm more shocked over the "high" reviews praising the game but it's obvious Resident Evil 6 lowered expectations so much that anything after would be better.

    Yes it is a horror game and you would think it's "back to its roots" but the problem is the game is a jump scare horror game and not a survival horror game. Imagine the dog window scene in the first game stretched out over the entire game, imagine if the first game relied on those moments alone while the survival stuff was sprinkled in, that's how to describe RE7. Herbs, weapons, some enemies and the like are just added to make it seem it's a return to form when really it's not

    I'm more sad that people seem to be buying into this. Guys it's an alright game but not Resident Evil...we've just been thrown bad RE game after bad RE game that now we'll take anything we can get.

    This is not Resident Evil...this is a new IP which is chasing after the P.T crowd. Save your money and buy Yakuza 0 or wait for Horizon Zero Dawn. We can not let Capcom turn Resident Evil into something it's not. This would effect the Resident Evil 2 Remake and do you really want that?    … Expand

    No replay value -> This game doesn't offer you a replay value cause is just the main campaign and nothing else to do. It doesn't have other modes for you to play online with your friends. There's no Mercs mode, no raid mode, nothing. Just the Story. The game is really short -> This game can be finished in less the 4 hours    I don't recommend this game. Heres my review done by parts.

    The game is really short
    -> This game can be finished in less the 4 hours if you already know where the stuff that you need are. The first time you play this game you'll probably take longer, maybe 6 hours.

    Boring story
    -> From the trailer of this game you notice that is all about a man trying to save the girl, it doesn't get any more interest than that.

    Dizziness effect
    -> There were plenty of times that I felt dizzy and like throwing up while playing this game.

    Forced first person
    -> this game doesn't offer you a third person option.

    Disconnected from the RE series
    -> without getting into any spoilers, this game feels like a standalone experience. It doesn't have anything to do with past games.

    Final thoughts about this game
    -> I wouldn't recommend to anyone to buy this at full price of $60. It's not worth it. Wait until the price drops. I feel like for what this game is and have, its price should be around either $10 or $20.    … Expand

Coming from a resident evil fan I have to admit this game isn't resident evil and it seems resident evil was applied to it as a quick cash grab. The setting made no sense in terms of resident evil. The characters are bland and stereotypical redneck folk. The "puzzles" make absolutely no sense and are ridiculous in terms of the setting. The main character loses a hand and yet in any situation after he has that hand again as if he never lost it. The game just isn't scary. After I installed the game I finished the first boss fight then get a message saying the game wasnt fully installed and kicked out to the main menu over and over even though the game was installed fully. This game just should of never been a resident evil title and I am disappointed yet relieved I only rented it instead of buying it. I cant' imagine how bad the suckers who got taken for the full price must feel. I imagine a lot of the people giving this a 9 or somehow a 10 are young kids who don't have much of a clue. Please please do not be like them as this game deserves no praise from anyone who has been with resident evil since the start and if this is what resident evil is turning in to then I want off this train.You have been warned.

After said hours the game starts running out of steam, and out of enemies to give you. You are going to be "fighting" the same damn enemies from the basement all the way up to the end of the game. There are three variables to it though, one of them has a blade on his hand, the other crawls on all fours, and the last one is a fat one. When the fat one comes out do not worry about him, the game will make sure you have plenty of remote bombs to easily dispose of them. That is really all there is in terms of regular enemies, unless you wanna count the few small wasps that are in the bug house. But I am getting ahead of myself, lets start where all things should, at the beginning.

    The beginning was really well made, it felt like a wanna be Alien Isolation, having Jack chase you around was kinda scary, but if not that, at the very least it was fun. But then Jack keeps popping out and throwing jokes around, calling you on the phone like a child and wanting to "play" games, lol. The same goes for the rest of the Bakers. A bunch of retarded hillbillies, Lucas being the worst of them. These antagonists just aren't scary, they aren't memorable. they are not in the least bit threatening.

    The final area of the game takes place inside an abandoned mine. By this time CAPCOM clearly had run out of the few ideas they initially had. The whole area is just move forward, with not detours, secret rooms or even a single puzzle. This area takes about five to ten minutes at most to clear. This time there will be many enemies coming at you though, but fret not. They will be targets for you to unload your ridiculous arsenal at them. When you clear the mines the game will hit it's all time low. The final area of the game, which is right back where you started. It's all a scripted slow walk through the house where some little girl is giggling at you trying to scare you? The final boss comes out and it's all a scripted fight that of course you are not meant to lose. I am not kidding, it's all a scripted event, you hardly participate in it.

    The game is loaded with items too, there is an overabundance of health items, ammo, guns. easy access to a powerful magnum which i never once fired. I kinda felt bad for the bad guys even using my M9. This game is too easy and not scary in any way shape of form after the first two to three hours. After that it starts showing its "Uroboros" at you. By that I mean that it starts turning into a mediocre Resident Evil 4 which is Resident Evil 5.

    I am returning this piece of crap at Gamestop for any money they give me. Well as long as it is ten dollars or more. Paying more than ten dollars for this mediocre so called Resident Evil game is too much. I payed fifty........    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What I dislike:
    - The story was great till the boathouse but went downhill from there when it went full 'silent hill-esque paranormal story mode'.
    - Ethan Winters has a striking resemblance to Henry Townsend from Silent Hill 4: The Room.. rip-off maybe?
    - Ethan is too weak and senseless beyond acceptable. pushing doors, running, lack of emotions whatsoever.
    - Hand got sawed off, did not die from bleeding out. Wow!!!
    - First Aid holy water could reconnect lost limbs! F**k logic!
    - Truth be told, it really is Chris Redfield in the end! Confirmed by Ca$hcom! The only thing related to the main series storyline anyway.
    - No headshot means no insta-kill even though you are using a .44 Magnum.
    - DLCs are expensive AF and I feel like they were ripped out of the main game, Ca$hcom cash grab.

    Im sorry, this is not resident evil. Resident evil always had great characters, here we have faceless and emotionless Ethan, not to mention fps and another kind of horror. Even my dispair for a non COD resident evil was not enough to make anything out of this.

El juego no es precisamente malo, pero es corto, es algo fácil cuando captas el truco de esquivar y esconder, posee un sistema de apuntado muy malo, muchas municiones que son prácticamente desperdiciadas al fallar la cabeza de los poquitos enemigos. con una historia interesante si pero que ella misma termina cansando, No hay zombies, los enemigos pareciera que sufren del bendito respawn, estoy harto de los benditos de DLC.

    The actual survival game starts after first play-through. The tanker level is dump, no management gameplay at all, just stupid kind of action, which is the worst part of the game. One more stupid thing about tanker is that you need to take the same rout over and over again, in the past, in the present, sick of it totally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wouldn't say it's the worst resident evil game within the series but its certainly not the best either. I felt no emotional connection to Any of the characters, the boss fights were meaningless and the voice acting was beyond poor. I do think the game is visually stunning, that's an undisputed fact but as a long term fan of this game I just didn't feel any connection whilst playing this game. I puzzled how Capcom think it's acceptable to charge extra money for DLC when the game's overall playtime is 10 hours. I feel as though Resident evil was trying to emulate the playable trailer, however this has failed miserably and playable trailer was scary.
    Overall, I wasn't happy with the final product and the price I paid. I urge anyone who wants to buy this game to wait until it drops in price.
    This game feels as though it was created predominately for VR players and that's where Capcom have gone wrong.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know why people put 7 up on such a high pedestal. I can't say I had fun with it. It was really disappointing to me and felt so out of place. It looks and feels more like other franchises and less like its own. There are only a few remnants of Resident Evil in 7, and the most important and widely popular characteristics are abandoned simply to lure in more players primarily for the VR experience. Just because it's now more horror than action doesn't mean it feels any more like Resident Evil by any stretch of the imagination. People say that if you weren't given the titles of 4-6, you wouldn't know they were RE games. If you're gonna go with that argument, then I'll just say that if you weren't given the title of 7, you would have no idea that it was an RE game. Absolutely none. There's nothing that deems it as such until you read important documents. Sure, it has item management, limited resources, and a few puzzles, but that's not what makes a Resident Evil game.

    The atmosphere and horror are completely different. It's more gory than scary. Most of the horror consists of jump scares that only get you if you're off guard. They attack all your senses in a cheap, lazy way. I feel like they spent more time on the aesthetic and less on the story. The setting has remarkable detail but the story itself lacks many crucial details. The type of horror in the previous Resident Evils is convincing. It attacks all your senses in such a way that even the music makes you feel vulnerable. Makes your skin crawl without the presence of a malevolent being. You just know your impending doom. Not once did I feel this way in 7. You didn't have many chances to just be by yourself. There was always a Baker all up in your grill. Not to mention they're **** INVINCIBLE. I'm not a fan of feeling completely powerless in a video game. I want to feel like I have the upper hand at least sometimes. After all, it is SURVIVAL horror. How do you survive against literally indestructible beings? Don't worry, it's all scripted anyway. They **** off after a while. The only time you feel like you have the upper hand is when you face the molded, the most unoriginal, least scary creatures I've ever seen in a Resident Evil game.

    An argument I'm sick of hearing: "RE was initially intended to be first person," I'm well aware. But the fact is, it wasn't first person. It was fixed camera, and I'm glad it was. We got what we got, and fans have familiarized themselves with it for years. It's not about what could have been or what was originally intended, it's about what was actually delivered to us in the end that counts. And we ate it up. First person was only utilized a few times. And in those instances, they were never successful and easily forgotten. I can see why this one would be successful no doubt, because they made it work better than the other times they've tried it, but it hardly feels part of the RE universe anymore. A game can't abandon all established characteristics and still remain part of a franchise. It doesn't work like that. That's when it becomes something new entirely. That's why Devil May Cry is a thing.

    RE doesn't need to have original characters to be an RE game, but look at the ones that didn't have original characters and weren't part of the main series. Like Dead Aim and Outbreak. Swept under the carpet and easily forgotten. Barely part of the lore, but still titled as RE games. I feel like if 7 hadn't been an addition to the main story and didn't have a returning character, it would be swept under the carpet with the rest. Not like any of the characters are particularly interesting up until that point anyway. They are if you enjoy horror tropes. Literally. Just horror movie cliches and blatant rip-offs. Anyway, I can respect the audience that 7 drew in, because I know a lot of people dig this type of **** but I do not. I hope everyone else got what they wanted out of it. :) I'll be waiting for the RE2 remake.    … Expand

    Modeled as a horror game but tripped up and became a first person puzzle shooter. Disappointing, especially with the large plot holes and lazy writing near the end.

    Having completed the game and digested the plot of the game as a whole, it falls short and leaves much to be desired. Many things are completely unexplained, ridiculous or just stupid. When the game starts and meets Mia, Ethan doesn't seem shocked or want answers at all. When the cop comes to the house and is killed by Jack, there is no followup by police at all. If a cop went missing along with his car, the place would be swarming with police within an hour. No explanation is given as to why the little girl has been able to terrorize this Baker family for years even though she is an umbrella experiment. Yet this innocent Baker family just happens to have a processing room, a morgue, a mansion, another house and all sorts of bizarre trap doors, rooms, elaborate puzzles and no driveways. Also, this Ethan guy brings NOTHING with him to a bizarre ghost house, never has a thought upon coming up to a spooky looking house or the van to maybe leave, go get the police, go get some weapons, go get SOMETHING to go into the house with, hell, hire someone to go with you, or bring food. As far as being scary. The first 20 minutes are the scariest. After that, it's not. How is electric even running for those houses? I find it hard to believe they're paying their bills anymore. And those huge generators in the basement? Those would need lots of oil or fuel to run. Makes no sense at all. I could go on and on. Like, why didn't he at any point think he has to get back to his car and get the fk out of there. Why couldn't he find something to break open the door he initially came through.

    The original Resident Evil was a matter of resource management as you made your way between various points of a large map via various routes. There were complex factors which determined whether you might want to kill a zombie or not, whether you might want to take a certain shortcut or not, since you would visit areas many times and there were only a few points in the game where enemy placement would be refreshed across the mansion.

    Resident Evil 4 was a complete reinvention and a masterclass in how to design varied encounters, areas and traps incorporating clever scripting and a simple but diverse set of player abilities. It remains as one of the best action games of all time.

    Resident Evil 7 is a game in which the trappings of the first Resident Evil game are shoved in your face while you walk down a corridor. For the first three hours of the game, there are some scripted encounters where a hick will chase you, and in some clearly designated monster areas you will find yourself face to face with monsters in one of two scenarios: hallway, or room. You move through areas in a linear pattern, for the most part, with almost no backtracking. Your option, then, boils down to doing the objectively optimal thing in the current situation: shooting your enemy in a hallway, or running past your enemy in a room. Hallways and rooms. If you successfully master these mechanics then you have seen everything that the game has to offer and will never run out of ammunition.

    There are puzzles too, but they're approximately one step up from the infamous Bioshock Infinite lighthouse puzzle. I don't care for the puzzles in these games but if there was ever a game in need of something, ANYTHING resembling gameplay, this is it.    … Expand

    The POV being 1st person was just frustrating. It's supposed to be scary because it's a complete blind spot I get it, but whenever you're in combat (not that it happens much) you have no idea on the speed or distance of an enemy since you can't see behind you a little like in 3rd person. It's also infuriating having attacks received that hit you and don't can be completely random judging from what you see.

    Something I do like though is Ethan's reactions to other boss characters comments since they are what I'd say exactly in that situation like a good ol' F U.

    From there everything just got worse. NOT at all scary - because it's ridiculously silly. I was hoping for an Alien Isolation, set in a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" type location. Wrong. Everything is so brutally on "rails" it takes away any fear because you can predict almost every scare moment. In Alien, you truly never knew when the damn creature would pop out - and if you died and went back to the exact same spot, it wouldn't appear a second time. Not here... here you got back and the same boring crap happens again and again.

    You try to do things "your way" but because the gameplay is so heavily scripted it won't allow you to move forward until you do it the way the game wants to you.

    I was in the garage with the old man when he jumped into the car and tried to run me down. I simply stood next to his door, stabbing and shooting him in the head, and he wouldn't die, but neither would I, because he couldn't get me. I could have stood there for 6 hours avoiding being hit by the car if I wanted, but after a few minutes I ended up shaking my head in disbelief and turning it off.

    I was really looking forward to the new direction that Capcom was taking their Resident Evil franchise.

Nothing could prepare me for the disappointment I was about to face.

    Unfortunately the actual gameplay is very drab and gets repetitive fast. You spend all of your 8 hours (yeah, it's only an 8 hour game) wandering and avoiding the same blob-like enemies as you backtrack one too many times just to find a snippet of story. The Bakers are the more interesting enemies but they're just cliche hillbillies out to kill an outsider, so it's more laughable than scary. I would say the game has puzzles to mix it up but they honestly can't be called that. You only encounter a few and the answer is thrown in your face. What's the point of that? To see if my eyes are still functioning? Well maybe that makes sense because the scenery is always so ugly that you may go blind from staring at it for the duration of the game.

    Overall I'd say I'm pretty disappointed. This was not worth $60. Save yourself some time and download something off of Steam if you want a decent horror game that might actually scare you.    … 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.

    Not very fun, pretty repetitive, about 6 - 8 hours of game-play yet a 60 buck price tag. I don't know, I'm not wowed. Graphics are good, but other then that the story is bland and predictable, but somehow doesn't really explain the little things. Like I said, I'm not wowed. If you want to kill the same enemy 50 times, and do the most scripted "boss fights" you've ever seen, give this a try.

What I mean is that mouth and word sync has been a problem for almost every game since day one. Some games killed it like LA NOIRE and some others but not this one. I really feel that the realism comes from it being undistracting. You can add all the cool monsters and shock scares you want, but if the cut scene lip sync is wrong, the user is decoupled from the immersion and realizes that they are ONLY playing a game.

    Long time fan who has played pretty much every game multiple times on various consoles, so I'm not new to the series.

    If your looking for a nod back to the old style of gameplay back in the late 90's early 00's sadly this game doesn't hold up with much, the only nod to back in the day of the early resident evil games is the little puzzles by little I mean the very few I've seen.
    This game has been designed with one thing involved and that is VR if you are planning to use a normal controller be prepared to be stuck with slow turning which ranks up the difficulty much more and in my opinion takes the fun out of what would be a good story maybe a story I've seen similarly before...OUTLAST this game feels like a rewritten script with extras to hide it's identity crisis, is it a Resident Evil game or is it a completely new game? If you took the title away anyone would believe this game to be something new as a matter of fact the only thing resident evil is the Resident in residence 'oh look another horror game based in a mansion.

    Camera: as I said this game has been designed for VR but sadly it seems as though Capcom thought they'd base alot around this, slow clunky movement in first person, no over the shoulder view if they're going to give the game a nod back to the original games why put it solely in first person why not give controller players an option to switch it's not like the game is cheap give us variety I wouldn't suggest this to anyone planning on using a controller, it's a shame they deviated again from what they originally had. I've played games which use the first person POV and they are some of my favourite; Aforementioned Outlast, The Evil Within, Dying Light, Dead Island all work perfectly but that's because Capcom haven't focused on the here and now but instead the future of what if 's (the what if's being VR) limiting players to really one game play mechanic 'VR.'
    I also felt some functions where limited; option to toggle flashlight on/off, assigning items, using items at certain points for instance nothing is happening directly to Ethan but a character is off interacting with another thing you have to wait for that character to finish fiddling around before you can heal, switch weapon or reload something I've not seen in other games from the franchise unless it's been a dedicated cut scene which you'd expect anyway but when you have your inventory open smacking 'X' over your herb or first aid you'd expect it to work at that 'cool down from the action moment.'

    This game has one good thing going for it, it is a scary game well I say scary what I mean is it makes you jump a little at times you'll hear a noise off to one side and turn to look at it; sorry 'SLOWLY turn to look at it inaccurately' because the controls are bad on a controller I can imagine in VR it would be faster, immersive and scarier, the story is good but as I mentioned it feels alot like it could be a rewrite of Outlast or even a spiritual successor to The Evil Within a good POV game.

    I just wish Capcom had made the game a little better it is 100% not worth the price tag, it doesn't feel like a resident evil game I could only find a reference in the title so how could it, it caters to a newer audience an audience who has just picked up from 5/6 not long time gamers like myself.
    It makes me sad knowing honestly I wasted big bucks on a game I don't like and will be taking back to the store tomorrow for credit towards something else.
    longtime fans think twice before you buy I'd highly advise this.

    One of my biggest genres is Survival Horror games and I like to play alot from the genre I just cant justify the price nor can I back the game play as a longtime fan to the franchise. Re-box and rename it as another game and there you go an new IP but I think people will be buying into the brand with this one.

Los personajes son calcos a los fanáticos de "La Matanza de Texas", por lo que la originalidad se va al 0% en este caso, los enemigos son escasísimos en variedad, los sustos predecibles y las localizaciones muy inferiores a lo visto en títulos anteriores.

    Una de las cosas que más choca es el viraje extremo de la visión en tercera persona de siempre a la visión en primera persona, a la que muchos no estamos 100% acostumbrados y que elimina de un plumazo algo que distinguía a todas las entregas de la saga: poder ver a tu personaje y observar su comportamiento, su estado físico, etc. Eso se ha perdido por completo y ahora estamos ante uno más de esa incesante oleada de títulos first person que nos ahogan desde hace años.

    Gráficamente es normalito, no estamos ante ninguna maravilla tecnológica, puesto que hay que tener en cuenta que se ha debido limitar gráficamente para adaptarlo al uso del Playstation VR.

    El sonido es algo de lo más normalito en este tipo de juegos, centrado en ofrecer ambientación, tensión y susto fácil para los que caigan en eso.

    Una cosa buena que tiene es el regreso de los puzzles desafiantes, algo que se echaba de menos en entregas anteriores centradas más en la acción (para desgracia de muchos), pero no es lo suficientemente importante para aportar luz a este desastre.

    Es un juego para jugar como curiosidad, medianamente disfrutable, pero que es superado ampliamente por los originales a los que copia. Alien Isolation, por ejemplo, juego del que coge muchísimos elementos ambientales, te hace sentir muchísima más angustia que este título.

    Fail en toda regla para lo que podía haber sido el regreso triunfal de la saga, una oportunidad perdida por parte de Capcom que fulmina la saga con un título que no tiene nada que ver con los anteriores salvo por pequeños retazos y que dejan entrever que la compañía nipona está más por el dinero fácil que por el contentar a los seguidores de esta prolífica saga.    … Expand

    But that's nitpicking. So moving on, the game itself is aesthetically pleasing with very polished visuals. I must admit that the Baker's house looks great, and the first person view did not negatively impact the game for me. 

    But that's where the compliments end. The story is completely lacking and the characters are utterly forgettable. Aside from paying $60 to play, this game fails to give me any reason to continue playing. Rather than providing a plot, building on its characters and their back story, and escalating tension throughout the game, this entry to the series resorts to a non-existent plot and hollow characters. As for escalating tension featured in older RE games, this game resorts to jump scares, which are ineffective, predictable, and are utterly shallow. In fact, this makes the game rather dull and boring — unlike older entries in the RE services, where you are apprehensive when entering a new area, or going through an old area with a new item, slightly resenting what will happen next. Nope, this game takes that feature away for... BOO! And even those jump scares fall flat.

    All this aside though, the biggest disappointment of all is the game play. The game is extremely repetitive and features a dismal array of enemies.  Despite the illusion of freedom and the ability to walk around, It's practically on-rails game play, dictating what happens when, destroying any replayability.  The gun play is, at best, awkward. This, mixed with the lacking story and characters, makes you feel utterly disconnected to the game and made me question why am I playing this and why do I care. This makes the game boring and uninteresting.

    All of this, along with its lackluster 8 - 10 hours of game play, make this RE7 an underwhelming game and not worth the price    … Expand

    Capcom is completely incompetent and lost to replicate the success that Resident Evil has been in the past. I will not waste time here talking about all the bad ideas used in this game (because this has already been done). I would just like to declare my heartbreak.

    Good game, bad character models. Couldn't help feeling that that detracted from the scare factor. Besides that very fun and exhilarating horror game. Definitely worth it for fans of the genre.

    Resident Evil 7 strays so far from the lore of the series I have to ask why it has 'Resident Evil' stamped on it. It could literally be any other game. As an FPS survival horror, it takes too many of its influences and doesn't do enough with them. There isn't anything new here; just the same boring genre tropes you've seen many times before.

The enemies have little variety and the gameplay is repetitive.

    The story and characters are cheap. They lack dimension and depth. With a plot and characters so thin, the game relies on its environment and horror. Unfortunately, the game fails most when it attempts to scare you. The only aspect of this game I enjoyed was the detail of the environment, but that isn't enough to keep me playing.    … Expand

    I've never been a big fan of survival horror games. There are enough limitations in real life; when I play a video game I want to be released and have unlimited strength, powers, etc.

    Despite my preference I always admired the Resident Evil franchise, particularly in terms of the look and feel of the older games. The character and environment art in the original is truly unique. I    I've never been a big fan of survival horror games.

    Despite my preference I always admired the Resident Evil franchise, particularly in terms of the look and feel of the older games. The character and environment art in the original is truly unique.

    I played RE 7 for a total of 30 minutes. At the start of the game you are wandering through a boring and drab wasteland. Don't judge the surroundings too harshly because it is probably the most interesting location you will see in the entire game. I know it because I watched videos about the rest of the game once I sensed what a play-through would be like.

    The graphics are very realistic. But there's a point when an A-rated video game becomes a B-rated movie. For anyone who enjoyed this game I respect your opinion. However, if this was a movie would you be interested in watching it? The story is cliched and the characters are underdeveloped. It's a B horror movie!

    I think the developers have traded the original look and feel of the Resident Evil franchise for passing trends in the horror movie world. Previous Resident Evils have been criticized for becoming too mainstream and "actiony." Too many bad guys, and not enough time alone in the game to wonder what's around the corner.

    But this is worse. A game with no soul and no originality is no RE sequel at all. I'm disappointed and I hope the developers make a different choice next time.    … Expand

    It seems to want to try to be both a survival horror game and an action horror game and fails horribly at being either.

If you want to be a survival horror game, you need to be able to maneuver around and avoid enemies, and you also need to have a proper stealth system that allows you to hide. This game does not have a stealth system and it takes place almost entirely in tight corridors that allow for no room to maneuver around enemies, and you also move about as quickly as Stephen Hawking on a unicycle, so clearly the game isn't made for this type of play. Perhaps you're supposed to shoot your way through them like the normal Resident Evil fare?

    Not so. Your guns do next to no damage, you have a very small amount of ammunition and you die in two hits. The aiming is wonky and enemies move around so much that it's basically impossible to hit with any kind of precision. So clearly the game wasn't designed to be played this way, either.

    Maybe it's a mix of both? Unfortunately, you need to be at least decent at either of these methods of gameplay in order to achieve that, and this game is absolute garbage at both, so unfortunately no. In conclusion, this game is hot garbage as a survival horror game, an action horror game, and just a game in general. It's not good at all and I'm appalled that so many people praise this. I was expecting to have a nice time as a horror game aficionado, but I deleted the game after the first generic enemy because I died 15 times to it and I couldn't run away from it because it was in a 2 foot wide corridor and even if I did get past it, there were two others in the next room that cornered me. Do not waste your money on this game like I did. I'm glad I got it on sale and not for the full price, though I wouldn't play this game even if it were free.    … Expand

    Jogo curto, sem replay, e o pior de tudo... de Resident Evil só tem o nome... Tenho convicção que este jogo foi feito EXCLUSIVAMENTE para promover o VR... Pior ver a "crítica especializada" dar um score >5... o que a grana não faz...

    Honestly, I don’t know if the world is ready for a game like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in VR and that’s exactly what makes it so exhilarating.

    Whether played in VR or not, Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a thrilling game and it shouldn’t be missed. If you have the option to play the game with a PSVR, you should by all means do so. Regardless of how you play Resident Evil 7: biohazard, just be sure that you do because it is one of 2017’s finest releases and the constant stream of DLC keeps the nightmare alive.
