    A mixed bag of highs and lows. The actual game play was crap. It was slow, clumsy and glitch ridden at times. The atmosphere, story and characters generated loads of spooky creepy weird fun. RE7 looks and sound amazing and the voice actors really all shine in the roles they have, but I am here to game not to watch a movie. That being said this one did really grow on me and not like mold.A mixed bag of highs and lows. The actual game play was crap. It was slow, clumsy and glitch ridden at times.

VR mode vs standard mode? Well standard mode the odd jump scare. VR mode screaming my head off multiple times!

    After trying several different VR games the motion sickness has finally gone. Still with all that plastic and rubber on the head? Head overheat happens pretty quicky. Yeah even when using a massive floor fan to try and counter it. Maybe I need to use PS/VR in the winter or something?    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 firmly re-asserts the franchise at the forefront of horror gaming after a couple of very disappointing games, taking inspiration from the fantastic Revelations handheld spin-offs and of course, the classic first installment. The game tries its best to scare you, unsettle you, panic you, and ultimately it is a thrilling experience, if a little brief. The brevity is forgiven,Resident Evil 7 firmly re-asserts the franchise at the forefront of horror gaming after a couple of very disappointing games, taking inspiration from the fantastic Revelations handheld spin-offs and of course, the classic first installment. The game tries its best to scare you, unsettle you, panic you, and ultimately it is a thrilling experience, if a little brief. The brevity is forgiven, as it definitely feels like this game is an experiment, to play around with new ideas and re-introduce old ones, as if setting the path for the future. And I loved it.

    Combat is classically Resident Evil - frantic, deliberately clunky, and punishing if you aren't concentrating. This is enhanced by the new first person viewpoint, piling on intensity to an already overbearing premise. Puzzles are fantastic, item management is a hark back to the old days, and the game progression is enjoyable. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, in the most disgusting way, particularly the environments. The Baker mansion and subsequent areas are grimy, alive, horrific and claustrophobic. The sound design is also spot-on. Fighting bosses is where the game excels in these areas, as Jack relentlessly pursues you through the entire house, or Marguerite stalks you in the yard, leaving few places to hide and your heart in your throat. General enemies are very...general, and a bit bland. There isn't a big variety and fighting them becomes a bit stale by the end.

    The story is OK, and eventually does link back to the old games in a bit of a tenuous way. A lot is left unexplained but since this is a soft-reboot, this is fine. DLC will open this game up more, but it definitely feels like content is missing, especially in the latter half. The first few hours of this game are among the scariest, more engrossing in any game I've played, and I was genuinely shaking after reaching the first save point (which are few and far between). The game is shrouded in mystery, which I loved, and has enough twists to make it interesting. But overall, again, the length hurts it. Just where, for example, Resident Evil 4 is getting into the crux of the plot, this installment is rounding off. I kind of resent needing DLC to finish an experience, but I enjoyed this game and will likely get them.

    RE7 is a true return to form, getting rid of ridiculous action-horror and stripping everything back to create a raw, traumatizing and exhilarating gaming experience unlike any other. There's definite room for improvement but in a franchise so convoluted, plot elements will always sit a little weird, especially when combined with the realism of this entry. Highly recommended.    … Expand

The feeling of overcoming the odds and surviving the horror, all with save rooms (in a new RE game, can you believe it?), puzzles and inventory management included like the classics.

    If you're a fan of Resident Evil, especially the classic games, you owe it to yourself to at least give this game in particular a shot before writing it off like I almost had. Definitely one of my GotY's for 2017. 10/10*    … Expand

    This game had a lot to live up to and I think i managed to do so. I have been with Resident Evil since the beginning and I did not like 5 and 6. I was so happy the 7th brought back the horror and the new main character was even well made. The ending made it all worth it for long time fans as well.

    Terrorífico, opresivo e imponente... el regreso del Survival Horror. Un Resident Evil como los clásicos sólo que jugado en 1a persona. Algo que se le puede echar en cara es la desconexión con respecto a su saga en el plano argumental y los cabos sueltos que quedan en DLCs y aclaran detalles importantes del argumento. Suerte, y ánimo con la familia

    An argument that starts quite loose, but as we play and we are revealing more information becomes very interesting.

    The camera in first person feels great to this delivery, bringing back the terror of the classics and the action of the most current, but well done this time.
    The combats against final bosses have not convinced me.

Sure, sometimes it is scary because of jump scares, but I more often found it to be frightening because of the enemy patrolling: being searched for by the enemies in this game is terrifying. The game, when played on "normal" difficulty, is a great challenge, but not frustratingly difficult: it requires a lot of thought and precision but does not cause you to spend hours on a single boss fight (that is, unless you wasted a ton of ammo: there is very limited ammo, which means you must either be very careful with shooting, or have a really good eye for finding items.) The game had some good puzzles: usually they were not immediately obvious, but they were also not overly difficult. This game by itself is one of the best I have ever played. While no game is perfect, I have very few criticisms of this game. The experience only gets better in VR (that is, if you do not get motion sickness in VR games.) Playing mini-games like Space Pirates in VR is fun, but this is by far the best VR experience I have had as of April 2018. Sure, it does reduce graphics quality some (no way around that) but it greatly makes up for it in immersion. It would have been the best horror game I have played on a flat-screen, but playing it in VR drastically increases how scary it is. It is hard to bring yourself to play a horror game in VR, but it is worth it, and once you get started it is hard to put down because the story leaves you wondering so many things. My only notable criticism is the lack of motion controls, though that is more Sony's fault for not having an analog stick on the Move controllers (hopefully it will come to Steam-VR so it can have proper motion controls.) Besides that, this is an epitome of both a VR game and a horror game: it is not good just because it's a VR game, and it's not good just because it's scary, but both of those elements greatly enhance the experience. Playing this game in VR has been one of the best video game experiences I have ever had: I cannot recommend it enough.… Expand

    I was never a fan of Resi before and the last game i played was 10 years ago. This was a awesome new take on the franchise with the First person perspective. The game play is pretty slow but that feeds into the atmosphere of the game. There are plenty of scares early on which was the highlight of the game for me. Defiantly worth a play through

    This game is revolutionary for its genre. I must say that future RE titles must follow this trend of FPS because its way scarier than the action packed RE 5, 6, and 7.

The grotesque sounds of the Bakers where terrifying and the voice acting was mostly great. The story sucks you in and and keeps you interested but never revealing quite what was going on until the very end. The writing is superb and the pacing of the story is fantastic. Resolving the mystery and eventually feeling bad for the Bakers is genius writing. Although the main character is really underwhelming but ultimately a vessel of the player. All of this resolves around the nerve racking game-play and the highlight of the series. The combat is great and always intense. Evading enemies and getting well placed shots is rewarding and create very anxious moments. Shooting feels great and taking out enemies with makeshift weapons will always be satisfying. However the enemies are constantly being reused and there is not much variety causing later hours to falter. Inventory management and obtaining items is fun and tactical. Choosing when and what to craft requires a lot of brain power. The puzzles may cause a bit of backtracking but are great and very fun to solve. Exploration and discovering lore and collectibles allows for many playthroughs as well. However all this tactical and slower paced methodical game-play is sandwiched between spectacular boss fights and creative set pieces. The boss fights are great and diverse and create so much tension and anxiety that cant be found anywhere else. Sadly the final boss fight is far too quick and the latter half somewhat looses momentum. Overall a great and thrilling survival horror experience.… Expand

    Great game, this is the most horror RE I've played by my opinion. I'm not very familiar with the series but I think they made it perfect for the genre. There is as much action as it needs and the environment is as dark as it should for this game. The adventure has great pace as well, and also has the right amount of challenge. I highly recommend it.

    Maybe some people are mad at capcom for change the camera to first person view but as an old school fan evil series , I think it really worked. After disgusting and **** games like evil5 and evil6 Capcom made very good decisions for evil 7 and now I think resident evil 7 is second best resident evil of all time after Resident Evil 4.

The environment is unsettling and the sound adds a bunch more creepiness to the game. Combining these things with a great little story gives you an amazing game with an amazing scary atmosphere. It keeps suspense by giving pretty crappy guns and having you search every corner, door, and shelf for any ammunition or medical kits. Sometimes the game is calm but it never feels like it because you have no clue if there is a horrifying creature ariound the corner and when you do stumble across that creature it becomes a very tense situation. Even though it doesn't sound like a very good or fun time it truly is and is an amazing game that I 100% recommend you try.… Expand

    Capcom has returned to it's roots on this one. It is kind of similar to RE2 in terms of level design and atmosphere. It is a disturbing horror game and has made a 360 from RE4, 5 and 6. (it's a good thing). Did not mind the first person aspect at all. In fact I think it brought more to the puzzles and some variance in gameplay.

    Definitely in my top 3 RE games. Good job Capcom. I like the direction where the series is going if it is this. Can't wait for the next one and hopefully I can replay this on VR someday.

    pros:
    - Story. I did not see that much plot holes like some negative reviews here. Not everything needs to be explained to the player to leave room for some mystery. Also all the paranormal stuff is explained if you follow the story and read some documents at the end game.
    - oh, the spooky horror
    - Some puzzles
    - Scary sound world
    - Boss fights

    minor cons:
    - no random events
    - couple more enemy types would been good
    - where is umbrella corp and relation to other games?
    - replayability (though 'Not a hero' dlc seems to be free to download from psstore)
