    So very typical RE game. There are generally two types of enemies in the game - hard to kill and immortal. Even on casual difficulty, ammunition is very limited. I almost never wasted more ammo than I needed, but eventually I reached a point down in the basement when I left with no ammo and a few monsters you need to kill to pass through.

I almost never wasted more ammo than I needed, but eventually I reached a point down in the basement when I left with no ammo and a few monsters you need to kill to pass through. So I am wondering, from devs perspective I am supposed to start over or load some early save? Or how did you think the game balance through? Or did you? Yes, I understand it is a horror game which needs to be scary and difficult. But lack of balance difficulty.… Expand

    I was hugely disappointed in this. I let myself in with all the hype and the game starts brilliantly and creepy but after about an hour it ended up going downhill and really boring and seems they put all there efforts into the start.

    This game had promises, But the controls and gameplay wore it down. My grandma can run faster than this idiot protagonist does. Slow and dull.
    As for the story, it steals so much from most horror classics out there The Evil Dead (Decapitated hand and chainsaws) The RIng (Hairy black chicks crawling around) Halloween (Reappearing bad guys you never seem to manage to kill off).

    In the end i was bored of trying to kill off Ol´Jack after shooting him in the face more times than a 90´s John Woo film, setting him on fire, blow his brains out.. I was just fed up in the end. When he came lurking in the hallways again i just shut off the whole game and deleted it.. NO MORE:..
    It has all the gore and jumpscares you can crave, but it offers nothing new to even excite me at all.
    Money well wasted.

    PROs:
    - Gritty atmosphere
    - Jump scares

    CON´s
    - Plastic coated graphics
    - An exhausted genre in every way
    - Slow and dull controls.
    - Totally forgettable characters and plot    … Expand

    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!

    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.

Enemy designs are bland (probably the worst in the series), and it's no fun mowing any of them down. There are also compelling tactics missing when it comes down to boss fights or enemies in general. While the game starts off strong with a kind of Evil Dead setting, it just has not much else to sustain that tedious premise. It’s one of those games that I had to force myself to finish, because of the lack of investment in the characters, story or gameplay.… Expand

    Visually appealing. All other aspects of the game are just dull. Movement is too slow; events are too directed in a B movie way; all encounters are scripted and predictable.

    Not a good game, but what RE franchise needed.
    The game itself is not good. It is, though, what the series needed: after the failure of RE6 and the way too many spin offs no one wanted.
    Gameplay: 6/10 (a solid 6, nothing new, nothing interesting) Setting: 3/10 (a poor 3, in a horror game where setting is everything) Exploration: 4/10 (as the setting, you don’t really want to explore)    Not a good game, but what RE franchise needed.

    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.

    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... I'm giving it a 2 for the unforgettable intro and decent visuals but I'm uninstalling this game now.… Expand

    Uma repaginada completa na serie. eles conseguiram fazer um jogo totalmente diferente, mantendo a essência da saga. Uma experiência incrível pra quem gosta de terror, esse jogo só perde para outlast
    nesse gênero. O jogo é excelente, falar que o jogo não é bom e tremenda burrice tudo na vida está em constante mudança, se agarrar no saudosismo é uma tremenda ignorância.

    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.
