Capcom took a risk and it payed off. The atmospheric horror and puzzle given game play is back and with a vengeance where the game has a new perspective, the gameplay is familiar and comforting. It has some typical jump scares and monster closet scenes, but you know what overall the game is paced out rather well. The action isn't over the top, and it sets a semi believe able world up for any future RE titles. I can't wait to see where the series goes from here.

    If you have a VR headset this is the game to play it's length is exactly what VR gamer have been looking for, the controls are great for VR. Though I would rather they lose the floating arms, but that isn't enough of a negative to deduct any points from it.

    I hope this review is enough to convince you to purchase the game because its well worth your time and money.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is an instant CLASSIC. A true Resident Evil game that strikes an incredible balance between what the series has been always known for and its imperative job to evolve, be new and fresh.

Capcom has maintained a strict marketing approach for RE7    Resident Evil 7 is an instant CLASSIC. A true Resident Evil game that strikes an incredible balance between what the series has been always known for and its imperative job to evolve, be new and fresh.

    Since the reveal of RE7, countless misperceptions have stumbled upon its way, from being an Outlast clone, to PT’s biggest fan. Capcom has maintained a strict marketing approach for RE7 making sure that nobody can expect and predict much of the game which eventually has favored RE7 in every aspect. You’re going to be so surprised of how much they’ve hidden and you will also realize how hilarious those Outlast/PT comparisons actually sound like.

    RE’s soul seeps through the walls of RE7; it stays true to its roots -- delicately re-introducing and invigorating the franchise that defined survival horror games for years to come. What RE7 does best is that it comes up with this amazing and refining formula of visualizing and catching the classical vibes of the old RE games and mixing them all up perfectly with new refreshing mechanics that will open up new horizons for the series.

    At its core, it’s a game that was built with effort, quality and passion. Everything about RE7 in terms of story, characters, enemies, atmosphere, environments, graphics, sound design, gameplay elements… etc, it all connects, mashes-up and intertwines incredibly and meaningfully well together in a way that just made me feel like this is one of the smartest, most beautifully done survival horror games I’ve played this generation.

    RE7 offers a fantastic and immersive experience that will make you hold on to your controller from beginning to end through a suspenseful new story, interesting characters, intense atmosphere, stunning details, insane sound design, great combat/gunplay, engaging item management, puzzles, exploration, backtracking and replayability.

    Pros:
    + Excellent storytelling and strong narrative
    + Playable flashbacks allowing for gameplay variety
    + Beautifully done and a well balanced RE/survival horror game
    + Sheer amount of visual fidelity and creepy presentation
    + Insane sound design with wonderful soundtracks
    + Engaging combat, gunplay, item management, puzzles, exploration and backtracking
    + Emergent game design; certain few scenarios vary depending on how you play
    + Good replay value
    + The DLCs are top tier

    Cons:
    - Last boss fight is underwhelming compared to the other ones

    Neutral:
    -/+ We may quibble over the lack of enemy variety in the game, but as I mentioned before, how everything (including the enemies) is presented and connected here hardly makes this a negative point in my opinion.

    9.5/10 - Resident Evil 7 is a masterpiece. A MUST BUY for every RE or a survival horror fan!    … Expand

    This is the best horror game I have ever played...
    Now I didn't grew up with resident evil, I've played only resident evil 6 (it sucked in my opinion) and resident evil HD remaster, resident evil 7 is very similar to the first game and I don't know why people who consider themselves resident evil fans are hating on this game.
    To me, RE 7 is just a modern version of the first one and    This is the best horror game I have ever played...

    To me, RE 7 is just a modern version of the first one and it's an FPS and I loved it.
    The story was surprisingly really good and has a few twist and turns which makes the game more interesting and the characters (even if the protagonist wasn't great) are really interesting and have distinctive personalities.
    The gameplay... This is what I call a true survival-horror game, because there are some games where you just walk and run which makes the game uninteresting (outlast), here you actually defend yourself, you create weapons and objects making the game enjoyable and the bosses are perfect.

    As a person who isn't a fan of the RE franchise, this game blew me away and as someone who has a hard time finding a good horror game, this left me more than satisfied.
    It's not a PERFECT game (bland protagonist) but with me, if a game has so many pros and I'm having a great experience, I can forgive some cons because in the end no game is perfect but I do believe this game deserves a 10/10 and I do hope seeing more games like this.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I believe this game deserves a solid 8.5 score. The reason I'm giving it a 10 is to balance some of the negative reviews which gave the game a 0 because they said "why is there ghost's in the game? It's not RE". They have clearly not played the game and are going off the test demo (btw there are no ghost's in the game).

    The first half of the game feels like RE2 with the puzzles, limited supplies, and inventory management (I'm only comparing it to RE2 and not RE1 is because the puzzles in RE1 were much more complicated and RE2 was more lenient). The second half feels like RE5 with more action. Of course, if you were not conservative with supplies in the first half of the game, you'll still have to consider ammunition and herb usage.

    Is it frightening? Definitely if you have not been desensitized to horror trends (especially in the US, I've been watching streams and people are definitely more scared in other countries). Truthfully, for me there were a few jumps but not enough to make it frightening. I would compare it to Condemned or FEAR in terms of scare.

    Madhouse is also very challenging. It really tests your knowledge of the enemy and bosses and you will always have to decide whether to risk using ammo or running, because ammo is much more precious in Madhouse.

    The bosses, for the most part, are underwhelming. The 2nd boss fight was pretty decent, and the 3rd boss fight was good and truly felt like a RE boss fight, but the last boss was horrible. More cinematic than anything. FYI there is a special molded, which I would consider a miniboss and even harder than some bosses in Madhouse.

    I also thought the enemy variety was good, but could have added 1 or 2 more types. There's 4 molded types and 4 bosses (if you don't count the introduction). Also, there are bugs, but their more of an obstacle...a very annoying obstacle.

    Overall, it was a very good game. Probably the best RE since RE4. The first-person view was a refreshing change. I'm sorry for those that don't understand this, but 3rd person horror games aren't scary. I think the last time I was truly scared in 3rd person was Silent Hills when I was a child. I'm not saying 3rd person horror games aren't good (for example Dead Space and Alan Wake were really good imo), but 1st person adds the horror aspect while still maintaining the survival aspect.    … Expand

    Capcom this time has really done a great job! Resident evil 7 incorporates the main elements of the series that had been lost in 5 and 6. This game is fun and scary, the story is interesting, spectacular settings and if you have the VR experience will be even more exciting. The saga has been reborn !

    First of all I want to start this review saying: My favorite RE game is RE4 by far. So no, i'm not one of those fans who were always complaining about the new games getting away from their "origins". In fact, I hated those comments. So, when this demo was announced and the first person camera was introduced I was SO disappointed. I really wanted something that looked more like RE4. I almost thought about not buying the game. Being a fan of this franchise for more tan 10 years though I just said **** it" and I bought the damn game. And WOW was that one of the best choices I've made. This game has to be one of the best, if not THE best RE game I have ever played. It is nothing like Alien Isolation or OUTLAST like everyone is ranting about. It is SO much better in my opinion.
    Things I loved in the Game:
    1) Weapon Variation: It's not only the fact that there are many weapons, but that you get them in momentous ways.
    2) Sound: Simply beautiful in general. God you'll spend at least 13+ hours of extreme suspense in this game.
    3) Voice Acting: Impeccable.
    4) The introduction of Antique coins: Very clever.
    5) Puzzles: Finally puzzles that actually make you think. (Now with the DLC's Bedroom I am even more impressed in this aspect of the game).
    6) Story: Extremely fluent and intriguing.
    7) Characters: The introduction of new characters was something the franchise needed to avoid a repetitive feel in the game. Relax, I obviously I missed the iconic one and only Chris and his 300 pound arms and Leon with his hair and all but it was about time Capcom introduced in some fresh faces.
    8) Upgrades: You can upgrade things about your character.
    9) They have MUCH more content coming and i'm still excited!

    What could have been better:
    1) Longer story
    2) Just two or three new enemies (for the ship part at least).
    3) Upgradable weapons (I simply love this aspect of upgrading your character in games).

    In all, buy the game guys. Well spent $90 for me (I obviously bought the Season Pass after finishing the game. I WANT MORE).    … Expand

    + Survival-horror is actually back with a decent mix of action!
    + Item management is back as well. You need to carefully decide on which items you should at certain points.
    + The original level design (spooky mansions, underground passages, laboratories) and map interconnectivity (a very good one) is here.
    + After a long time, the puzzles are back! There could be more of them, but I was happy with what I've encountered, as they seemed really logically placed.
    + Story-line is still based on the same themes - bio viruses and secret organizations.
    + Classic RE weapons are present, bosses are cool - especially Jack - a video game manifestation of T-1000. The last boss could've been better, but it did not ruin the game experience in any way.
    + The enemies (despite the small variety) are challenging and terrifying, also the dismembering physics is a great add on.
    + The game has a big replayability factor with different modes (and a free story DLC coming up in Spring).

    In my book it was RE 3: Nemesis as the last true RE game, afterwards the series lost it's appeal as a survival horror game. Though RE 4 was a good action game, it was a big departure gameplay/story wise from the main series and could've been titled as a spin-off (if RE 5 hadn't come out). Resident Evil 7 is a great comeback, a true sequel to longtime RE fans. It's very immersive, really fun, hard (on mad house difficulty), it uses classic RE formula, but enhances it with it's modern changes (great engine, first person view, a new twist in the story). After I finished RE 7, I decided to revisit RE2 & RE3 (since I played the RE1 remake not so long ago) and now I'd even dare to say that this title can truly tie for being the best RE to date.    … Expand

My wife couldnt even watch me play as she kept having near anxiety attacks. This is the resident evil Ive been waiting for for years. I wish there were more in common with the old characters and stories but from what i read it does tie in and the future free DLC with Chris Redfield will tie it together more. Cant wait to see what they have in store next. Amazing!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Caveat: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard as a base game is a 9/10. With the Playstation VR, the entire package is a 10/10. It also took me roughly 10 hours to beat. Some light spoilers as well.*

    Returning to the roots of survival horror was vital for Capcom as they return to what made Resident Evil great in the first place. Taking clear inspiration from RE 1, this game takes place in Dulvey, Louisiana in the bayou, which is an eerie and tone-setting environment. At the forefront of this setting, you play as Ethan Winters; just a dude looking for his wife, Mia Winters after she has gone missing for X amount of time. As Ethan arrives to the bayou, he runs into the Baker family in their home; Jack, Marguerite, Lucas, and a mysterious grandmother in a wheelchair (who is easily one of the most scary aspects of this game due to her just staring at you—no movement, no chase scenes, she just watches you silently). Ethan needs to find Mia, and escape the infected Baker family.

    RE 7 changes from a 3rd person game, to a 1st person view game. As a Resident Evil purist, I initially found this to be a strange design decision. After playing the game multiple times though, I can say that the 1st person camera angle is a very welcome design choice for the series. Combined with the disturbing environment of the Baker home, the 1st person camera offers more immersion and the feeling of isolation that the game lives and dies on. You do in fact feel isolated, confined, and claustrophobic. Admittedly, the gun play leaves some to be desired—it can feel clunky at times, but it works well with what is there. The game has puzzle elements like in older games; some can be easy, and some can be challenging, but not so much to make the player feel completely stupid. Upgrades to your character can be obtained by collecting coins around the game, and trading them in at a trailer for increased health, weapons, etc. Also, there is no HUD in the game, all your info will come up when you interact by shooting, and your health meter can be looked it by taking a glance at your wrist Codex, it makes for better immersion.

    The first 4 hours of the game are probably the most horrifying hours I have experienced in gaming in years. Within the first hour, you are chased around the house by Jack Baker, the psychopathic, murderous father and later regenerative monster that just oozes the style of Resident Evil. At points, the player can trigger a moment where Jack bursts through a wall in the first hallway. Marguerite gives just as many scares as she can laughs at points. Her dialogue can be downright hysterical, while also being intimidating. Her bugs that she can summon on a whim are disgusting, by the way. Lucas… well, he’s just kind of a bratty kid with some psychological issues.

    The overall design of the characters and monsters just scream Resident Evil.
    Another plus to the game, is that there is a lack of quick time events, which is very welcome in my book! It doesn’t try to hold your hand too much. Entering a save room plays some very light, melancholic music, which is reminiscent of previous games.

    Nightmare difficulty mode adds the challenge you would expect; lack of ammo, tougher enemies, you take more damage. But it also brings back another thing from old RE games; the player needs to find cassette tapes in order to save their game, just like ink was needed to save at a typewriter.
    My gripes with the game are: there isn’t a whole lot of enemy variety type. It makes the game super predictable at times. Secondly, during the roughly 10 hours it took me to beat the game, around the 8 hour mark, there is a portion to the story that feels a little drawn out and boring at times. If the whole game took place at the Baker home, it would have made the experience more top-notch than it already was.

    VR mode is a whole other beast. This is what makes the game a 10/10 for me, and the killer app for a Playstation VR. The game is exactly what you would expect in VR. You get full control of Ethan, and play the whole game front to back in VR. As far as the camera is concerned, the player can move completely free with the controller, or can change it to turn in 30 degree increments to combat motion sickness. The only drawback to VR is having to aim the gun with your own head movements, which for some can be easy, but personally, I found it frustrating. Regardless, it didn’t take me out of the experience. VR adds the new layer of fear with everybody getting up in your face, making it as uncomfortable as possible.

    Overall: if you love or once loved the RE franchise, please give this game a chance. It has an intriguing story, good characters, the Baker family themselves are worthy of playing the game. It brings genuine scares and a smile to me, and potentially those other survival horror lovers.    … Expand

    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.

    To conclude, the game of the year and a total recommendation for any horror game lover!    … Expand

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

All in all it’s a great game, the only thing I would like to see is more enemies and that’s the only negative, but it doesn’t take away from the game.… Expand

    Great game. Realy new experience, the only one games that makes me fill scary. But you should play in VR, without VR i can give only 8.

    This game series is one of my favourites! X3, Honestly Resident Evil 7 brings the whole series into an amazing new light after the mistakes they made with Resident Evil 6, It's worth playing if you are a fan of horror games :D

    I love this game with all my heart & I love it so much that I'm actually doing a Let's Play on the game myself.

    Já jogado 5 vezes e sentindo frio na barriga até hoje. Resident Evil 7 mesmo que perca em LORE, sobra em jogabilidade. E sua história individual é muito bem contada. Foge da história clássica, mas continua sendo um jogo absurdo.

    Choro é livre para os fãs dos jogos clássicos, mas aos novos entusiastas Re7 foi super bem vindo.

    I played Resident Evil 7 at launch and I still play it sometimes. For me this game is exactly what Resident Evil, a return to form, a real horror experience and this game do exactly that. Yes the game is pretty short, yes there’s not a huge variety in ennemis but take this game as an experience, to see if horror still sales. I give it a 10 because I love the atmosphere, the Baker familyI played Resident Evil 7 at launch and I still play it sometimes.

    Amazing return to the resident evil franchise. It deserves a lot more than what people give it credit for. I like the first person as it is in this title. No call of duty style zombies everywhere type of game.it would be nice to add the weapon sites when aiming in the future. Please add an option from 1st to 3rd person to stop the whining from everyone.

    + Excellent recreation of the best elements of Resident Evil Classics and Horror / Survival genre
    + Excellent combination of subcutaneous stresses and bloody actions
    + Baker's family home design
    + Baker family members!
    + The amount of details used in the visual and audio design of the game

    It’s the most memorable RE game after CODE: VERONICA. And I believe after it every RE games will be just normal games and it will not have this moody style again and that’s sad to think about, because I’ve seen VILLAGE and what they plan to do in the future games ):

    Play it in VR its woth it,
    I finished the game before I got the PSVR headset, and I replayed it on VR once I got it, its a totally different much better experience, the only downside is that graphics are downgraded in VR, immersion, story, boss fight are enjoyable, there are places where I did not have the gut to go forward eventhough I knew what was coming, guarding with both hands above    Play it in VR its woth it,

    My favorite game from the Resident Evil series. It has an excellent story and managed to change the terror like no other game has done before. Capcom is to be congratulated. I hope you do more (in first person)

    Um jogo de survival horror maravilhoso, o retorno do horror de volta a franquia com elementos dos seus jogos antecessores. Definitivamente um bom jogo, os único pontos fracos são a pouca variação de inimigos e poucas falas do protagonista.

    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.
