    Resident Evil 7 is a step in the right direction from Resident Evil 6 nightmare, BUT i can't call this game for Resident Evil , if it was a free standing game and hade nothing to do with the original Resident Evil series i would give it a 7/10 and say "you need to play it"

    And remember, i compare this game to the other games in the series, "The Resident Evil line"
    NOT as as stand alone game (as a stand alone game, i give it a 7/10) and a good VR game.

    The graphics in the game is great and with a VR i gives a good experience so i give graphics a 8/10.
    And with limited ammo the survival is back (Big Plus) , the puzzles are ok, buit not great, most of them was to easy and hade little challange to them.

    The story was weak, i give it a 3/10 i hade no connection whatever!! i dident care one bit for it!, and felt like a B story.

    The characters in the game was lame and empty, only Mia Winters was good and feelt intresting
    2/10

    Enemies in the game was NOT scary at all and hade almost ZERO challenged at all, the only problems was runing out of ammo (and that dident happend many times, about 1-2 times in the game, at the end of the game i hade so much ammo)
    3/10

    The bosses in the game is really really bad, no challenge at all, the "end" boss is a joke,
    Easy like hell, (if you manage to get killed by the end boss you deserves a medal)
    1/10

    The controls of the game run's great, well done!
    10/10

    The length of the games, well it is short, 4 hours and 27 min, started the game about 12:00 and at 16:30 i have beaten the game ..................FAIL!, big times and i play on "normal"
    There is a speedrun of the games at 1 hour and 45 min........OMG!
    3/10

    Co-op..............Nope!
    0/10

    replay value.........almost zero
    2/10

    This game have no connection to the other games in the series, if i was a standalone game and hade no ties to Resident Evil series i is "Good" game, but the titel say's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard,

    Buy it on a sale, not worth 60$ at the most it is worth 30$, maybe 40 $

    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 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.

    Where my points go to:
    - Horror ambiance and stress factor.
    - Item management
    - Weapon variety
    - The Bakers..    … Expand

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

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

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

    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.

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

RE7 has technically nothing in common with the Resident Evil games we use to know and/or love (doesnt include RE5+RE6). No classic characters, no classic creatures from previous titles. The only thing that is known from Resident Evil are the "herbs" lol, most of the weapons, and the Molded look like a similar creature from another RE-game, but thats absolutely it. Its just one of these games like Outlast, with a moderate visualization, but it doesnt deserve the name Resident Evil. If you are a true Resident Evil fan from day one on, you better skip this game because it will just bore you to death from the beginning. I recommend everyone to skip this game, unless that person is totally interested into ego/horror-games.… Expand

The 'moulded' enemies are few and far between, come at you in ones and twos, and are very easy to take down. The main character, Ethan, is a complete blank with no discernible personality - as a result, you feel completely disconnected from the game, and more like a tourist. Most of all, Resident Evil 7 commits some unforgivable sins for the series - not difficult in the slightest, no tension, and boring.

I got more than expected and not in a good way. This game felt like a walking simulator most of the time with little to do but wander around trying to find something to do with *sigh* 'scary' noises or run away and when I find a press a button prompt within the household and several other places it's just to look at something in detail for no reason (I know certain items matter of course, but I'm talking about things like the pictures) so The Order 1886 comes to mind just a little less pointless stuff.

    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. Lastly I find myself puzzle as to why this is called Resident Evil/biohazard when it should be its own individual title considering how it is.    … Expand

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 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

    Not even scary as everyone make it out to be. Extremely overrated and boring. Resident evil 2,3,4,and 5 is better

    There is no Resident Evil game here. The plot is weak, there are no puzzles and no satisfactory relation with Umbrella and all the incidents. Only a generic FPS horror game. Please, CAPCOM! Return to the bases!

    No lo disfruté tanto como el 8, pero estuvo bastante bueno, la cámara en primera persona le da un toque original, 9/10

    Enemy variety is pretty much zero. You only fight molded enemies for the whole game other than the occassional Baker family member. The final boss is the worst one in the series imo and nowhere as intimidating as Nemesis or Alexia. Also, the game is on the shorter in the series and it doesn't help there are no interesting side modes this time like 4th Survivor or Seperate Ways. Overall,Enemy variety is pretty much zero.

    puzzled. the plot is really boring and stupid, there are at least 3/4 logical inconsistencies. The final boss is the most comical thing. It makes me think of a lack of imagination in the final part of the development. Aside from the atmosphere, the constant fear, the great introduction, the game is slow, shooter sections are clunky, little variety of enemies, little variety of gameplay andpuzzled. the plot is really boring and stupid, there are at least 3/4 logical inconsistencies.

The persistent backtracking in a huge house was fine 20 years ago, now it's just a more of the same. disappointed.… Expand

    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.

    Gets under your skin by erasing past frills and putting you eyeball to eyeball with a new world of horror. [March 2017, p.60]
