RE6 was a mess so they decided to go back to the roots and give us something we all wanted yeah it has its problems like any other game but i loved the hell out of it. I see so many reviews saying RE6 was better????? like come ON BROS. Actual review now: The story was fairly interesting and kept me interested throughout the game finding out the truth behind Mia and the Bakers was honestly pretty cool. Of course it could have had more depth but they had the perfect blend of story and horror which was great. The gameplay is cool i enjoy the first person aspect the horror kinda does go away at one point when you get the big guns but it's still there and it feels kick ass shooting down those sons of **** The atmosphere captured what the game was going for extremely well and i was never sure what was going to be in the next room or previous rooms which i loved. All in all after reading all the negative reviews i'm really surprised so many people are so ignorant to new ideas and to breathing fresh air into the RE series. BECAUSE 6 DID SO WELL RIGHT? Give capcom a break i believe they really out did themselves with this game and i highly recommend it to anyone who's into horror. Don't let the negative reviews influence your decision on buying this game it's honestly a great game. Especially with all the free DLC we will be getting in the next couple of weeks. Get this game.… Expand

    This game has everything that made RE1 and RE2 fantastic games, and more. It's genuinely a terrifying game--even half an hour after pausing it and setting it aside, I'm still freaked out. The FP POV makes it that much more immersive, frightening and, at times, frantic. You will not be disappointed.

    I'm sure the atmosphere created in this game could work much better in third person. But the game itself finally restores some of its raises. It's amazing how similar to the environments of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 4. The story and narrative has its flaws but this one undoubtedly is one of the best RE in the series.

    So far, the puzzles are pretty fun and though some may seem simple, make the player feel smart.

    The atmosphere is incredibly well-done, and returning fans will be glad to see that the horror feeling of the original games has been reestablished quite nicely here. Although there are a few jump scares, it feels like they are done in the same vein as the original games, where due to fixed perspective, you may not see an enemy that's near you try to lunge or grab at you. This isn't necessarily a bad thing in my eyes, seeing as how that's how the games have always been, however, besides this there's another thing that manages to keep you on your toes.

    The enemy encounters are really well-done, you could be expedient and take them out with a few headshots, or you could hack at their limbs to slow them and make a quick escape. You're basically stressed out the entire time because the game makes you quickly aware of how dangerous getting hit by one of these various monstrosities could be, it's a good feeling though, not a frustrating one that makes the game feel unfair.

    The only parts that aren't too well done seem to be the bosses, some of them (won't mention which) have that classic campy/cheesy RE feel, but they are few and far between among the fun exploring and puzzle solving so it doesn't weigh down on the experience as much as one would expect.

    I definitely recommend this game, to new fans and old ones as well.    … Expand

    Resident Evil is back and better than ever. The series has finally returned to its classic roots and does it with a modern style that perfectly blends past resident evil with modern horror gaming. I wish I could give this game an 11/10

But there was something about 7 which had caught my eye. Perhaps it was the sudden shift in tone and viewpoint, or maybe the quirkiness of its villains. But one thing that I had definitely noticed was a comeback to the world of survival horror.

    Resident Evil 7, in my honest opinion, is a much needed breath of fresh air for the franchise, after having living in the shadow of it's fourth installment. Gone are bombastic action sequences which would potentially make Michael Bay envious. Gone are the quick time events which had become so prevalent in the series. Instead, we are provided with the filthy horrors which lurk within the Baker Plantation.

    The shift in view point has proven to be quite divisive amongst fans of the franchise. Some scoff at it with pure hatred, and others praise it for bringing something new to the table. I have to say I'm in the middle of the spectrum. I am interested as to what Capcom has planned for the next main installment, and hope they refine the first person controls (if they continue on with it.).

    Gameplay is ripped straight out of classic Resident Evil titles, with numerous puzzles and some enemy encounters which will make one quite tense. Ammo is scarce, and you have to pick your battles wisely, or wind up some creatures next meal. Save rooms return, as do item boxes and an upgrade system. These provide a moment to catch your breath and decide what your next move should be.

    Replayability is an issue I see sprouting up frequently. The game has three difficulty modes one can go through, with the third being unlockable. Trophies are there for whoever wants them. Hidden figurines populate the plantation, which beckon to be destroyed. There are bonuses for beating the game under certain requirements, such as new weaponry and infinite ammo. However, all you'll be getting is the story mode, with extra game modes and story episodes as dlc in the nearby future.

    The story for the game doesn't bring anything new to the table. Rather, it chooses to play it simple snd safe. After Resident Evil 5 & 6, this was a great pallet cleanser. The story isn't bogged down by lore set by its predecessors, making 7 an excellent entry point for new comers. However, that isn't to say there aren't certain things sprinkled in to cater to veteran fans of the series.

    All in all, Resident Evil 7 is a gem of a game. Fans of old school Resident Evil will feel right at home, and newer players will be able to jump right in. It is not without its faults, such as questionable sound design for some circumstances, and lack of extra modes. However, there is plenty to enjoy in the molding corridors of the Baker Estate.    … Expand

The game itself doesn't use jump scares often rather, the morbid atmosphere and sounds are what make up the tension of the game. I had to pause the game at times just to take in on what just happened! or even just the atmosphere was too much.

    There are a few mechanics which absolutely astounded me, I won't spoil but it was a random event in which an attack from an enemy caused Ethan's leg to be cut off. You're then in a state of last stand where you have to pick up the leg and use herbs to reattach it. I tried to make it happen again but alas, it was random. Its the small details like that which immersed me fully.

    All in all, I'd highly recommend this game for any horror/resident evil fan.    … Expand

Another thing that I wish they added to the game is DIY weapons, like you find parts here and there and then you have to make them into working weapon. Last complain is the VR really messed with your brain, make you extremely dizzy after an hour or two. Best played on a TV screen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After playing RE5 and RE6, I thought there's no hope for Resident Evil series... but then this game came out. Absolutely amazing game and one of the best games of 2017. Writers really took turn to the right direction with this game, bringing back the elements of horror and almost completely abounding the elemnts of action, which is what I love.

    Writers managed to write something brilliant as nice and loving family being infected with a virus just because they were kind enough to take the girl in. I know it's a sad story, but in horror games, and the plot twist at the end is the best thing ever.

    I must say I was sceptical because of the first person perspective, but it did not let down, the game works perfectly in first person and I cannot imagine it being in third person.

    Resident Evil 7 is a survival horror game developed by Capcom, and is apart of the Resident Evil series.

    With introductions aside, let me say that this is the first Resident Evil game I have sat down and played. I didn’t purchase this game, I rented it. I’ve been reading the reviews for this game both positive and negative, and would like to discuss things I found in the reviews    Resident Evil 7 is a survival horror game developed by Capcom, and is apart of the Resident Evil series.

    With introductions aside, let me say that this is the first Resident Evil game I have sat down and played. I didn’t purchase this game, I rented it. I’ve been reading the reviews for this game both positive and negative, and would like to discuss things I found in the reviews alongside my own review.

    The game is stunning graphically, and the sounds are refined. The first 30 minutes were definitely the scariest time I had in my playthrough. The ambience is excellent coupled with the unsureness of when you’ll be scared next. I enjoyed the first person view, and I’m seeing this is a first for the series. A reviewer stated that the first person view was frustrating because you can’t judge the speed in which the enemy is chasing you–That’s the point! This is a horror title, do expect to know what’s going on?

    There are many puzzles in the game, which at times can be slightly frustrating as I used a guide once or so, but once you get the hang of the game you’ll understand better. There are mini stories in the form of VHS tapes which adds different terrifying scenarios whilst playing. The combat was exciting at first but I must admit, it was boring towards the end seeing as there really is only one true enemy type. The bosses were memorable, though the character you play isn’t. There are some holes within the game that when I played, it seemed alright, but after reading a review pointing things out, it kind of hit me. As long as you aren’t as nitpicky as I am, it shouldn’t affect you any, just minor story points that should’ve been fleshed out.

    Overall, I do recommend the game, but I don’t recommend you buy it. Unless you plan on buying the dlc, renting it for even a day can give you the game’s full experience. People compare this to Outlast which I can understand, but they are definitely different experiences. At least in this game there isn’t a terribly dreadful ‘turn the power back on’ mission.    … Expand

    I played this on a standard PS4, not in VR nor on a Pro.

    Resident Evil 7 has two inspirations in its reinvention: the trend of First Person horror games in the last decade and itself. By that, I’m referring to the original game and its remake – both in its setting and level design. Most of it works, but there are some issues.

    Most of the game feels reminiscent of those earlier titles. Item examination, elaborate puzzles, backtracking and long stretches of inaction – even the life meter is a call back to the original. Combat also harkens back to the fight or flight scenarios common before the action focussed redirection the series took. Movement however, is clumsy during tense moments as your character can barely run. To articulate, it’s akin to the uneven trot one breaks into when they’re 95% sure they’ll catch the bus in time, but just want to be sure. No contextual reason is given for this and I wonder if it’s associated with VR. Ultimately, it’s more frustrating than it is frightening. Aiming is somewhat difficult too, but this design choice succeeds in creating tension due to a focus on ammo preservation.

    The story is mostly compelling, although most survival horror narratives are to a degree as they rely on mystery and building dread. It’s sometimes campy and sometimes earnest as in parts the series is known for, but it kept me intrigued. The third act however, I found underwhelming - not terrible, just mundane and I feel they missed an opportunity in the characterisation of the chief antagonist. Character development has never been a strong point in the series though, so perhaps that’s too harsh.

    The voice cast is a mixed bag also. All but one of the family are very well executed whereas the rest are the common middling quality of most AAA titles and lastly the main character is…well, he sounds bored to be frank. I suppose it stands out more in to the contrast to the tone of the rest of the cast.

    I recommend the game if you have a sentimental spot for the gameplay and tone of the PS One/GameCube titles. If you’re not familiar with those but enjoy survival horror games, you might find something here too. Personally, I was rarely scared outside of one section near a boss encounter. I was often alert and generally cautious, but not to the point that I would dread traversing from room to room. In short, an encouraging reinvention that is neither the best nor worst the series has offered but is certainly on an upward tangent.    … Expand

    BRAVO!! as a day one fan this game is what we wanted after 1,2,3 & CV before it drifted away with 4,5 &6 and became a non horror game which were CoD like with no real survival. 7 brought the series back on it's feet!!

    the formula is finally once again: low ammo, survival, some riddles (could be more and more difficult) and maybe the best setting ever. THAT is what RE should look like.

    I love the new direction.As with RE4( one of the best games ever made),a shift in direction brings Capcom back into the game.Yes,it's way too short and can feel like an extended demo but the future now looks bright for survival horror.Triple the length,add some more enemies and locations and the sequel has the potential to be a masterpiece!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's my review of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard:
    Story - In the beginning it showed no reference of Resident Evil until the end. They didn't say anything Resident Evil like T-Virus, Nemesis Virus, Zombies or any other characters from any Resident Evil, though there is a magazine that shows the destruction of Raccoon city and some monsters and Bosses presenting themselves like the previous Resident Evil games. But overall the story is very well connected of what was going on when playing the game. The game wasn't scary beside them always popping up right in front of you, this feels very cringe especially people who have a phobia of bugs. Although it felt like I was playing Outlast then Resident Evil.
    Gameplay - The gameplay is what represents Resident Evil. When you find herbs and chemical bags to combine them into first aid bottles and also getting ammo and reserving them shows that element of Resident Evil. Even killing monsters with a knife feels satisfying just like all resident evil games.
    Mechanics - Easy to learn. But it would be better if the player has the ability to melee monsters and boxes while holding a weapon, though it will look and act like a Call of Duty Game.
    Conclusion - The Story should show more references in cutscenes and give the players the euphoria back in the days of Resident Evil. Gameplay and Mechanic were spot on. If you were looking forward to this game being Resident Evil, don't give your hopes up as this is game is trying to be PT mixed with Outlast but it doesn't mean this game is bad because it's still overall fun to play especially the DLC that is coming out soon.
    Final Verdict:

    At first glance this doesn't even feel like a Resident Evil game. The classic RE characters are nowhere to be seen, and there are no zombies in sight. Without a few recycled puzzles from the previous games and an occasional reference, you would never guess you're playing Resident Evil. Despite all that, I'm gonna say this is the best Resident Evil since the PS1 era.

    The environments are beautiful and disgusting all at once. Great use of light and shadows intuitively guides you through the levels, and memorable set pieces ensure you don't get lost despite the maze-like structure of the buildings. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive, with great pacing and build-up leading to rather scarce but all the more powerful jump scares. The monsters are disturbing yet cool, and the sound design is simply fantastic. More than once did this game make me wish I owned a VR headset - and simultaneously feel grateful for not having one. I also particularly appreciated the VHS mechanic that foreshadows future events. It's smart and very well done. Add to it great, responsive controls and you have one fine game on your hands.

    If you're a survival horror fan, this is a must-play title for you. Yes, it's a little short (hence the 9 instead of 10), but it's intense and really, really fun. It just makes me a little sad. If this game is so good, imagine what Silent Hills could've been like if Konami didn't cancel it. I'm just glad Capcom stepped in and filled the void.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 finally brings back what we fans wanted for the franchise. A solid game of terror. Okay, okay, the game is in first person, which caused a lot of anger in the older fans of the series. But even in first person, the game is a solid Resident Evil.

    The gore in this game is in large amounts, blood spouting all over the screen, mutilations and things that would make RE7 easily a first class slash movie!

    The story is not one of the best but the plot is consistent, unlike the plot of Resident Evil 6, which is forced, the plot of RE7 follows the same line and opens more and more doors with more revelations that leave your jaw dropped.

    References to the classic series, such as the painting of the Arkley Mountains, the puzzles, the scenario, the locked combat, references to the characters in the files and a remarkable character in the end that is sure to rip off his pants.

    Music creates a tense environment, activated at right times. Along with the high quality sound of the game, a great mix of Capcom.

    The graphics are not so beautiful because of the VR feature, but the game performance compensates for this, 1080p at 60fps on all platforms.

    Resident Evil 7 is a landmark in the franchise and a fresh start for what had sunk, obviously the older fans will refuse this game, but it deserves a chance. It's a great horror game and a even better Resident Evil

    There is a saying that goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I believe that was Capcom's motto for succeeding Resident Evil iterations after the success of the fourth in the mainline series.

    Fast forward to this time of writing, it turns out that motto did more wrong than good--as Resident Evil 5 and 6, though commercial wonders, hurt the series for straying too far away from its roots.

    So Capcom made a decision to make a fresh start in the form of Resident Evil (7): Biohazard. This is the sequel that should have been after loud outcries were made in reaction to Resident Evil 5's inevitable new direction. Better late than never they say, as the newest entry in the series not only goes back to its roots, it also wraps the best qualities of Resident Evil 1, 3 and 4 in a very compelling package.

    The game brilliantly adopts the strengths of its prime predecessors and works them into a fine synergy. This means you'll be wandering a residence (pun intended), dogged by a nemesis-like antagonist, while conserving your resources for some of the most gruesome boss fights in Resident Evil history. Puzzles are back, but they are neither too tough nor very interesting.

    One thing that might discourage (die-hard) fans from playing this game, however, is the change in camera perspective. For the first time in the main series, you will have to brave Resident Evil's horrors in first person view. That's kinda scary for some, but, the truth of the matter is, this crucial change only works for the overall greatness of the game.

    In terms of story, Resident Evil 7 is more grounded and believable. The game is wonderfully paced, so much so that you will be left wanting to continue playing simply to uncover more truths to the slowly unraveling mystery surrounding the Baker family.

    There's no online or multiplayer mode to speak of this time around, so replay value is exclusive to the game's solo campaign--a solo campaign that once has been Resident Evil's strength, which now again is.

    Have fun with this game, and God bless all!    … Expand

    I had no faith whatsoever in this game, but I bought it because I wanted a AAA game to play with my shinny PSVR headset.
    Well, that did not went well.
    After 2 hours playing the game in PSVR I decided I am too much of a coward to go through it, I almost died 5 times of a heart attack.
    So, I put both away.
    Then, I had a plan: finish the game in normal mode, to know where the scares are, then do it again in VR.
    Well, first thing: the game is at least 50% less scary in normal mode, even playing in 49 inches 4K curve HDR TV.
    But, I got tell you guys, it is still scary, scream in horror scary.
    Now I am 7 hours into. That because I stop after for a rest, a brain rest mind you, cause the game is so well crafted that I fear it could drive me insane if I went right through it.
    When I was a teenager I played Silent Hill. And after finishing it, I had nightmares about it.
    I got say: I dreamed about RE7 4 times already, and the scenes, sounds and even music stay with me: it is a masterpiece.
    So, I think it is the most amazing horror game I ever played in my life, and no matter how much it sells, it is less than it deserves.

    One thing though: beware playing it in VR, it is almost dangerous if you have a heart condition.

    Resident Evil 7 is a really interesting comeback to the survival horror genre for Capcom. The game really transmits sensations that we did not feel for more than 10 years with this saga and that is worth admiring.

    Resident Evil VII: Biohazard First Impressions

    As some of you may know I am huge fan of the Resident Evil Series and have been since inception circa 1996. The series has seen its highs, namely RE2, RE3, RE4, and of course the REmaster of the original. And it's certainly seen its fair share of lows including RE6, Operation Raccoon City, and Umbrella Corps. The series best known for    Resident Evil VII: Biohazard First Impressions

    As some of you may know I am huge fan of the Resident Evil Series and have been since inception circa 1996. The series has seen its highs, namely RE2, RE3, RE4, and of course the REmaster of the original. And it's certainly seen its fair share of lows including RE6, Operation Raccoon City, and Umbrella Corps. The series best known for survival horror had devolved over time and eventually became a Michael Bay 3rd person COD game with terrible mechanics and an even worse story.

    Fast forward to the present. This week REVII launched with High anxiety and low expectations from RE fans across the world. Capcom announced the "reboot" of the series shortly after that failed RE6 release. And until recently much of REVII remained a mystery. Once revealed the reaction from fans was extremely varied and most would say underwhelming and disappointing.

    For those who have not yet played the final release, I am happy to report that RE is back, and in a BIG way! Now sure, the core series characters we've come to love may not be present in this latest release. And quite frankly, that's the best part! Our hero's from yesteryear were battle tested and have seen it all. Tyrants, Nemesis, Mr. X, ZOMBIES, lickers, granados, and the list goes on. Our new protagonist is shaken, vulnerable, unsure, and scared to death. Which is a great way to describe my first 4 hours into the game...lol

    Man, did I mention that the Baker family is nuts?!?! Set in the Louisiana bayou, the game begins and carries a level of mystery and tension that can be cut with a knife. You are immediately thrust into the fight with little or nothing to go on other than you are searching for your wife that was thought to be missing or dead for the last 3 years. The enviorments are dripping with detail and mystery. And the characters immediately begin to capture your eye and imagination. What happened to this family and how did we end up here?

    Weapons are limited and ammo is sparse. Initially the enviorments are tight, and eventually open up. Classic nods to the series including door specific keys, herbs, save rooms, puzzles ( wish there were more ), and strategic boss fights await. The graphics are great and the sounds...well let's just say...the enviorments are the shining star of this sequel. They create a surreal atmosphere ripped straight from the pages of classic horror films while still creating an identity all its own.

    While it's not perfect, I must say I am completely infatuated with the game and I am looking forward to uncovering the mysteries of the Baker family plantation. I love the depth and thought put into the characters, and can appreciate the fantastic level design and crafting mechanic.This game is not for everyone. But for those looking for a classic survival horror experience that may leave a seat cushion or two damp...this one's for you.

    In addition:

    Not without its faults. While puzzles have returned, they are a bit too easy and predictable. And the same can be said for the new enemies "the molded". A higher level or difficulty and more intricate puzzles would have been welcome. And more varied enemies are needed. However we can look forward to 3 additional pieces of DLC starting to hit as soon as next week. 2 new tapes, and 1 full story add on. I am hopeful Capcom will address some of these issues. With that said, I believe they are most certainly on the right track and dare I say the road to redemption with the RE franchise.    … Expand

    As a huge fan of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 4, I have to say that Capcom did an incredible job bringing back the series to it's survival horror roots. While I am only 4 hours through the game, I will separate what I love from what I hated, and update the review further as I progress.

    *Pros - The game gives you the illusion of safety through high ammo counts, but as soon as    As a huge fan of Resident Evil 1 and Resident Evil 4, I have to say that Capcom did an incredible job bringing back the series to it's survival horror roots. While I am only 4 hours through the game, I will separate what I love from what I hated, and update the review further as I progress.

    *Pros

    - The game gives you the illusion of safety through high ammo counts, but as soon as Jack or the molded enemies appear, you go through ammo so fast without even realizing it, leading you to helplessly run or stand your ground, pull out your knife, and do it the old fashioned way.

    - Puzzles are back, and although most are not nearly as complex as previous examples, they are always satisfying to solve and never make you feel dumb or frustrated.

    - Jack, the "daddy" of the family, is one scary ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. He's relentless, and doesn't let up unless you cap him in the head a few times, or in the body multiple times. His dialogue is great, and sometimes even lessens the tension with his humor, before he smacks you with his shovel to get you serious again. He's unpredictable, and isn't just out to kill you, but taunt and toy with you as well.

    - Detail inside of the house is beautifully horrifying, from it's hallways covered in mold to it's dinner tables covered in entrails, the Baker house is always keeping you on the edge of your seat.

    - Plenty of collectibles to find during your journey, and some of them reward you greatly if you can find enough! Also, lockpicks are a big part in this game, but are very limited. So you need to pick and choose what you decide to unlock. You usually end up in a situation where there are 3 things you need to unlock, but you only have one lockpick.

    - PC optimization is great! Plenty of graphics options, uncapped framerate, Gsync support for the real enlightened PC gamers out there, as well as resolutions up to 4K and HBAO+ AO for Nvidia users.

    *Cons

    - Some character models kind of look odd. Something about Marguerite Baker in particular just looks out of place. Her face looks like shes had 500 plastic surgeries done and it's just ugly to look at. I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but I wish it was a little better.

    - Sometimes it's just TOO ♥♥♥♥ing dark. Like I want to play on the recommended brightness, but it makes item discovery 10x harder when you can barely see. I don't know why the flashlight is something only the game can turn on instead of something you can turn on and off whenever you please.

    - There are some textures that really look awful. I thought the PC version would alleviate this, but a PC can only put as much effort in as the developers did. Still better on PC with high refresh rates, game runs like butter.

    Overall, I am totally LOVING this game so far. I think it's absolutely phenomenal and worth every penny. Please don't hold out and risk getting spoiled! If you're interested, buy it now.

    I am shocked to see 139 negatives (so far). This game is fantastic. Extremely creative it oozes "try" and "effort" but in the best possible ways. Every floorboard is detailed, every can rusted seemingly naturally - and thus washing away the old anti-RE complaints from a generation ago "but it's all pre-rendered!". I was disappointed with RE 4 and all subsequent games. They were not scary.I am shocked to see 139 negatives (so far). This game is fantastic.

    A great revamp of the series. Every so often a game series goes through an identity crisis, and thus change is needed. Yes the first person element is new, but It works really well. This game is real survival horror, and while it didnt scare me towards the end of the game, the atmosphere is presents had me putting my controller down for a bit

    Not only did this game innovate in a lot of ways, it brought back all of the core features from the original games. The Tyrant old man transforms into a creature similar to Nemesis and chases you throughout a grisly mansion. Was not expecting this game to resemble the classics so closely. It holds the spirit of the originals all the way down to the similar locations and events that took place in Racoon City.

    A notable let down here is that we only get a small variety of enemy types. Would have been a 10/10 if we got some zombies, dogs, hunters, sharks, and giant spiders. Also if load times didn't suck so bad and all cut scenes had a skip feature.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *** This review wont spoil the ending but I will mention a couple of characters that, if you haven't played the game or watched any trailers, might spoil the experience for you. ***

    First of, this is a good looking game and it's doing a terrific job at keeping you on your toes and scare the **** out of you when you least expect it. The claustrophobic experience is somewhat similar to the one you find in Alien:Isolation and there are many times you feel that you are hunted. However, it's clear that the game is "cheating", teleporting characters around the place, which kills some of the vibe. The story is intriguing with a horrific atmosphere, interesting characters, FANTASTIC voiceovers (except for one) and there are several objects in the world that may help you unravel the plot.

    Unfortunately, you play as Ethan, who is a pretty stupid guy. I know I know, protagonists in scary movies are experts in making the wrong decisions (hey, I'm gonna walk into this scary house all by myself AND oh look a ladder to the basement, I should totally climb down! and so forth). What I wanna say is this; when you're watching a film with stupid characters, you can facepalm while in a game, YOU're the dumb one, and your own decisionmaking probably doesn't cope very well with the character you are controlling. While I've mentioned the terrific voiceovers, Ethan is not one of them, as he seems rather chill with all the **** that happens around him, and you really want to punch him in the throat as he is having the conversation with the deputy.

    The game also contains tomb-raider like puzzles, which just doesn't fit with the rest of setting and some obstacles are just plain dumb, like the duct tape that requires a knife to cut through.

    As many other already pointed out, it is highly questionable if this should carry the Resident Evil seal, but as a horror game, it does a fine job at keeping you stressed out and it is definitely nothing for the faint hearted and therefore, I recommend it.    … Expand

And I loved Baker family. They so mad and each of them has insane personality.
    I dont like only couple things. Game is clearly lucking hard mode. It has easy, normal and madhouse. Normal is not challenging after first completion and madhouse is too hard to enjoy at times. And I think basic enemies are so generic and not interesting.

The fantastic story fits neatly within the Resident Evil universe as you fight new monstrosities that are both resilient and absolutely terrifying.

The setting and mood are very similar, and not only that, the Rambo style gunshot is gone and it plays like a modern take on classic Resident Evil gameplay. That means you'll be backtracking a lot searching for keys that gains access to different areas or searching for hidden items; analyzing every corner of the mansion searching clues to solve puzzles or elements like photos, books and piece of papers that provide plot information; and of course, lot of scare moments.

    By the way, the first hours are the most intense and frighting moments of the whole game. Dad Jack chases you in a similar way done in ''Alien Isolation''. You never feel safe, except when you're inside a safe room(again, classic Resident Evil stuff).

    The only real letdown i had with this game is the protagonist, Ethan. I don't know why he's so underdeveloped. We don't even have a chance to see what his face is like or get any more background information about him. Plays as him felt almost like playing with a NPC.

    I also have some reservations about the enemies design. Besides the Baker Family, they lack variety, originality (most of them look like the ones you see in RE Revelations) and don't like anything that match the frightening looks of the Tyrant, Giant Snake or Neptune.

    Besides that, i'm very pleased. Resident Evil 7 looks great, it's scary and fun. I do recommend it for newcomers and fans, even with the lack of connection to the old games story wise (almost none, except at the very end). I didn't play using the VR accessory, so can't say anything about it, but i heard nice stuff about it.    … Expand

    I have been a fan of the Resident Evil franchise since I was a kid. I remember playing the 2nd Resident Evil game when I was only 9. Watching the series change over the years in different styles of gameplay has absolutely amazed me. I love the fact that I can go and play Resident Evil titles and they would have different gameplay. I made this point in my review to Final Fantasy XV with changes in gameplay for a more fresh approach in a game series as the titles are now adding up.

    Obviously all of us were not a fan of Capcom's effort in 2012 with the hopeful blockbuster survival horror, Resident Evil 6. I had troubles with the game and I am more so on the optimistic side of games. I like the way Capcom stepped back and looked into the series and did something different. I am a fan of the game's design and gameplay itself.

    Moving from being some super hero character to someone with citizen ability but with knowledge on how to use a weapon is outstanding! It shows helplessness when you fail or when you die and shows true horror at its finest. I think Ethan is infected and I do apologize if i am spoiling. I am a fan of how they continue to really make you look around for supplies and treasures.

    The BAKER family was outstanding! I am a huge fan of the somewhat antagonists of the game as they are CREEPY. I like Eveline too but I feel that there could have been just a little more build up to her. I think that the game could have been a little longer as I am a developer and I am always busy, I got by this within 2 weeks instead of my usual 2 month trials. But the past 3 games I have been playing was more open world so I am not sure if that means anything.

    The Location, The Story, The Gameplay...PERFECT! My problems is that I was hoping that they would creep away from the main storyline and go with anew. Chris Redfield conflicts me but I am hopeful they will do the right thing and make more like this where you do have to sneak around and interact with your surroundings and go right to the CORE OF HORROR!

    I will add that the VR MODE is even more horrifying and brilliant and is much needed for the series' future as VR can potentially take over the gaming market .

    This game is outstanding and I am going to be playing it again many times in the years to come in high hopes that Capcom continues this trail of horror in more Resident Evil titles.

The first person perspective makes me feel like I am more a part of the game world and not just a spectator watching the story play out. The first person perspective is a great addition, especially for the immersion aspect of a horror game. The game gets my heart racing and it does a great job of making me want more. The visuals are great and the scares are real. One thing that feels a little tedious is the inventory management but that also makes you question what is actually necessary for survival. I love the puzzles which get me thinking. But the interactions with the enemies feel like i’m just going in circles, it's like i'm playing a game of cat and mouse with them.

    Amazing game. Best Resident evil since RE4, maybe better. The gameplay, story, graphics and sound design are stellar. Changing to 1st person perspective is a game changer.

In fact, I'd definitely say this is the scariest Resident Evil game that has been made.

    While I've seen a lot of negative reviews harp on the first person mode being too big a departure for them, I'd say it actually helps the series quite a bit over the third person mode. It feels more fresh & it definitely makes the experience a lot scarier. The Baker's are an absolutely awesome enemy but one of the reasons I'd give this a 9.5 instead of a 10, is that I wish there was more enemy variety. The molded are cool and all, but they do get old after awhile and there are only 4 different types of Molded so you learn their ins and outs pretty quickly. Even adding one or two more enemy types would have been very welcome.

    The enemy types are probably my biggest complaint over all but in the grand scheme of things, it didn't affect my enjoyment of the playthrough that drastically. The story was phenomenal, the graphics are pretty unreal & the game, as a whole, is incredible compared to RE 5 & 6.

Capcom did a amazing job, not just returning to the franchise roots but making something really new. Yes, maybe some you miss Leon, Claire, Chris and Jill, but gamers that have a open mind will enjoy this for what it is: a new era.

    Been playing for about 5 hours and in my opinion this is amazing. I have only played on PSVR, I gotta admit although the cam is now first person it still reminds me of playing RE1 and RE2 as a kid. I believe at the time static cam was the best way to create tension. VR is the way a horror game should be played. Would like harder puzzles and the psvr (standard ps4) resolution isn't greatBeen playing for about 5 hours and in my opinion this is amazing.

Would like harder puzzles and the psvr (standard ps4) resolution isn't great but after playing for a few minutes I don't really notice it. I'm not a fan of floating arms I know every one is different but make it so you could scale the body to yours (arm length and shoulder width). All in all I love it and can't wait to see where it goes from here.… Expand

    It's a great step for the resident evil series, it has his failures but the history is good enough to catch your attention. The main character Ethan is totally forgetful and also the final battle. Also i think capcom is going on the right direction.

    So if you have a purist streak in you, you'll likely hate this game on principle. If you don't then get on down to the bayou and have yourself a spooky time friend! This is an amazing game, and the only complaint a person can level at it is that it's different from the way resident evil has always been. I've never cared for many of those games past the original, so for me, bring in theSo if you have a purist streak in you, you'll likely hate this game on principle.

    Eu vejo pessoas dizendo ''isso não é Resident Evil'' e todos nós sabemos o quão isso é injusto. Por muitos anos eu critiquei a Capcom pela falta de inovação na saga, que vinha de vários e vários jogos medianos, e eis que ela trás Resident Evil de volta ao mundo dos vivos. Desde o Code Veronica eu não sentia essa sensação gostosa de economizar munições, avaliar se vale ou não matar umEu vejo pessoas dizendo ''isso não é Resident Evil'' e todos nós sabemos o quão isso é injusto.

Desde o Code Veronica eu não sentia essa sensação gostosa de economizar munições, avaliar se vale ou não matar um inimigos. Os Bakers dão um show a parte, e entram para o hall de grandes vilões da saga. Por favor, não entrem no pensando comum de que Resident Evil não é Resident Evil, deem uma oportunidade para o jogo. Ele é cativante do inicio ao fim. Até então, o melhor jogo do ano.… 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]
