    WHAT have they done with the Resident Evil franchise? This is so tragic that I can't believe it. I finished the game 100%, went platinum and soon (hopefully) will finish these poor DLCs. The fact that I play it does not change anything. This is not Resident Evil! It hurts!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy crap this is THE WORST horror game I've ever played... The intro is awesome up until the dinner table scene, but after that, it's ONE GIANT FETCH quest... You need 3 pieces of a key to open the front door, which are hidden in areas behind doors that require OTHER animal keys, which are in doors locked with other NORMAL keys! Like holy crap this family can't cook a human meal, but they can design an elaborate key storage system??? Gtfo of here and I didn't even mention the seemingly endless numbers of black goo monsters that you have to fight when your character aims like he's never even seen a gun in his life... Worst horror game ever and couldn't even get scared because I was so annoyed with how rediculous the dumb fetch quest was...

    They constantly talk about a new direction in the genre, about a new direction in the RE series, they constantly compare it with Resident Evil 4. Each game review has the same thing. In what new direction? In the direction of copying games 2013-2016?

    Outlast, Alien: Isolation, PT (one to one) and so on. We copy and say that "This is a new approach to the series." Let’s sign in order    They constantly talk about a new direction in the genre, about a new direction in the RE series, they constantly compare it with Resident Evil 4. Each game review has the same thing. In what new direction? In the direction of copying games 2013-2016?

    Outlast, Alien: Isolation, PT (one to one) and so on. We copy and say that "This is a new approach to the series."

    Let’s sign in order not to dump everything. The painting will be: Plot, gameplay, atmosphere, and so on. That is, point by point. Go.

    1. The plot. Was he there at all? Don’t get it wrong, there’s something like a plot, but it’s only in notes, that's all. This is not Dark Soules, where the main plot in the descriptions of objects. Speaking bluntly, there is no plot. I do not consider notes for the plot. They simply tell you, "You have come, there is a virus, go save", what, why, why, how, and do not give a damn. Again girls, I'm not in 2005, I'm in (at that time) in 2017, alo, enough to exploit little girls. I do not play F.E.A.R, I play Resident Evil. In the seventh part there is not even a plot twist, it immediately burns at the very beginning of the game. The game does not entice, neither the plot nor the more gameplay.

    2. Gameplay. You have two locations. Mansion with courtyard and END game tanker. All. The gameplay in itself ... is bad, it is terrible. The weapon is not felt, you shoot as if from children's farts. You don’t understand whether you hit the enemy or not, because the damage is not reflected on them. You shoot, move away, shoot, move away; repeat until the end of the game. This is not an interesting gameplay. He's just boring. But they probably tried with the bosses, right? You ask. No, they didn’t try. The same thing, hit with a chainsaw, step back and repeat, repeat. All boss battles are just cut scenes, you just need to wait for the activation of a particular script, or activate it yourself. Each boss battle: shoot, move away, shoot, script, passed.

    But you know, basically there’s nobody to shoot at. There are some **** demons, there are only 4 of them. Vomiting, ordinary, crawling, ordinary with a claw. They do not represent danger, well, in general, no. Turn on any complexity and nothing will change. You can run away from them at the door, they will disappear and go quietly on. Or simply run them. And these very **** demons appear extremely rarely. You simply go to empty locations. As written below, Resident Evil 7 is simply a Walking Simulator. Walk yourself, walk.

    Or in rare cases, you can be a kind of Rambo, because you will always have a large number of ammunition, guns, etc., you can simply shoot all the **** demons. If it’s straight, it has become so boring at all. And from this, players have to **** in their pants? Should they be afraid of this?

    In the same Alien: Isolation, there is always fear, even in those moments when you have weapons and you are in a safe room. You will still have reason to be afraid. Namely, the Alien himself. This is a death machine, sensitive, fast and smart. You need to complete the main quest and at the same time think about how to get this creature for dinner. The atmosphere in Alien: Isolation is beautifully served.

    If Alien: Isolation scares the atmosphere and a smart opponent, then Outlast scares you with screamers and a shock effect. They cut off your fingers, try to cut off a member, you fall into a bunch of corpses and so on. Outlast has an atmosphere, but it is pushed into the background. There is no constant sense of danger, as in Alien: Isolation.

    3. The atmosphere. Resident Evil 7 has no atmosphere and no smart opponents. As I said before, any opponent can simply be circumvented. They scare you with rare scrimers and that’s it. They are afraid of nobody and nothing. There is no sense of danger. I played at an insane level of difficulty on ps4, that is, with a gamepad. (hello all the tanking control of the past parts). And either I'm too brave, or this game simply can scare only the most impressionable people in the world. Well, really, you go to empty locations, who is there to be scared of?

    4. Characters. Absolutely no one was remembered. They are all dolls. Not interesting, not emotional, not prescribed, just wooden dolls. One character had a chance to be remembered, but he was given too little screen time.

    Conclusion: This is not Resident Evil and will never be. In this game, everything was done poorly, sometimes the graphics are beautiful, but basically everything is gray and ****, I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about the places we go to. Seriously, there is a whole corridor level where a bunch of gray biomass is just poured around you. I am not kidding. Bosses are boring and monotonous, the gameplay is terrible and boring.

    It's a great exercise in game design, but terrible when it comes down to gameplay or replayability. The only positive improvement over the older titles I noticed was that the puzzles are a little bit more ambitious and are reminiscent of Escape Room games. But that’s pretty much it. Enemy designs are bland (probably the worst in the series), and it's no fun mowing any of them down.

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

This game does not have a stealth system and it takes place almost entirely in tight corridorsIt 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

    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

    I find the bakers uninspiring and their junkie house not very impressive to look at. I miss the extravagant opulent look of the various scenes of the early series. Fighting the bakers is so boring and frustrating. You have limited ammo and you shoot round after round after round into them only for them to regenerate and show up again later. Where are the zombies? I loved fighting zombies in resident evil. I love the whole ambience of hearing them slowly walking around the corner and moaning in anticipation of the up and coming encounter. Why do you have to mess with a perfect legacy for the sake of changing it up?

    Well another first for me. I just deleted my saved data and all of the game data after playing for only four hours. I just got randomly waylaid by Mr. Baker again. Of course fighting him is an exercise of futility since you can’t kill him and your only recourse is to run away. It’s not even horrifying especially when he makes stupid comments while he fights you.    … 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.

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

    - 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.

    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

    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.

    This looks ok, but as soon as I saw the lady speaking and her mouth was not anywhere near in sync with her words, I was instantly drawn out of the experience and wanted to hate the game.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Post Game Review: Spoilers:

    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. It was a **** wood door.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Sorry Capcom, honest opinion.    … Expand

    Allow me to be blunt: Resident Evil 7 is not a good game, and I would argue that it is barely a game at all.

    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

    THIS IS NOT RESIDENT EVIL CAPCOM. This is a generic game based on generic movies of horror. Please, bring back third persoon vision ou fixed camera. The original games still very uniques and masterpieces, please, don't kill Resident Evil anymore.

    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.
