    I Just finished the game and i'm surprised. The Game don't have zombies, but is more Resident Evil than 5 and 6, for sure.

    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.

Obviously, the game has its faults, such as repetition at certain times, for example, to go and come back at all times to solve that puzzle.

    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 were a few times when I got killed because of a lack of peripheral, and Ethan isn't quick enough to dodge attacks (especially in boss fights), but it wasn't a huge problem overall.

    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a glorious return to survival horror yet it contains dated elements from older games. RE7 is one of my favorite games in the Resident Evil franchise. People claiming this is not a true Resident Evil experience are dead wrong.

Here you play    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a glorious return to survival horror yet it contains dated elements from older games. RE7 is one of my favorite games in the Resident Evil franchise. People claiming this is not a true Resident Evil experience are dead wrong.
    The game plays like classic Resident Evil games where you are forced to survive biological monsters in a single location. Here you play as Ethan Winters an average Joe who comes to a creepy plantation run by the sinister Baker family in Dulvey Louisiana in search of his missing wife. The story is very simple and not overcomplicated unlike the previous games. New players can play this as this first RE game without having played the previous. The game ends with many unanswered questions and plot holes that I hope will answered in the free DLC coming up. The game tells an overall good simple story that was nothing special.
    RE7 has gameplay that is great but needs some updating. The game contains save rooms along with item boxes that were used in the early titles of the series. The player can also craft chem fluids to create health kits, standard ammunition as well as special ammunition throughout the game. I liked the game’s crafting system but found the save rooms not very useful due to implementation of auto saving checkpoints throughout the game. Save rooms were an important part of the franchise’s early history but seems archaic compared to modern horrors games. The exploration is easily the best part of RE7’s gameplay. The game rewards the player for exploration by rewarding them with more story details and playable VHS tapes. The game’s puzzles are well done and simple and do not stop the free flowing nature of the gameplay. Item management is crucial part of surviving the horrors in RE7 and I am happy to see their return here. The boss fights are hit or miss. Some where you would have a one on one encounter with one of the members of the Baker family can be very intense and uncomfortable. I wish that they have scrapped the giant mutant boss fights the game has. These boss fights lack subtlety the rest of the game has and belong in an action game rather than a horror focused title. When the player is not fighting the Bakers the player fights monsters called molded. Ethan is armed with a knife, pistol, shotgun, flamethrower to name a few of the weapons. I found that by the end of the game I was given more weapons than I thought was necessary. I feel that even though it may be a series tradition combat should be dropped in future installments or left only for boss encounters.
    RE7 has some of the best graphics I have seen in a game. It uses Capcom’s new RE Engine that uses advanced photogrammetry to design detailed characters and environments. The character and monsters are realistic and detailed adding to the scares and immersion. The game’s gore is horrifically detailed and so are the horrifically grimey filled environments. RE7 has some great environments but some are more miss than hit. The beginning of the game which takes place in the guest house is darkly detailed absolutely beautiful in the worse kind of ways looking very photorealistic while the main Baker mansion building looks too colorful or drab at times. The excessive colors make the characters and environment look much faker and take away from the impressive photogrammetry the developers worked so hard on. The game looks its best in dingy and filthy environments but looks less immersive in cleaner, brightly lit environments which show off the game's graphical flaws. RE7 besides having the visuals down has some great ambient sound effects that help strengthen the game's immersion such as the noise of creaky wood and the gusts of wind outside. Other than a few small technical problems such as texture pop in, some occasional blurry textures, and slow load times RE7 is a technical wonder.
    RE7 features many disturbing violent moments that definitely add to the fear factor but I was not very scared during my playthrough. The Baker Family can be cartoony and ridiculous at times. I found the family members of Jack and Lucas by far the least scary with their goofy over the top accents and cringe worthy one liners they constantly spout. Ironically, I feel like the game felt too much like a classic RE game at times and wish that they added more elements from newer horror games such as Outlast.
    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a great horror game that should be played by all fans of the survival horror genre. RE7 is definitely not a perfect game that suffers from dated gameplay features and concepts from older RE games that take away a bit from the horror. But what the game succeeds in by innovating horror games through its new game engine far outways minor issues the game faces. RE7 has put the series on the right path and is one of the best AAA survival horror games of the current generation.

    Amazing game. The story was brilliant and it has a creepy feel to it which some of the more recent games had lacked. The game was a bit short as I completed it first time in under ten hours but the quality of the story made it worth it. Also, it is terrifying on the vr which just adds a bit extra if you want to scare yourself!

    This is for sure among the best titles I have played on PS4. The thrills here are real, the attention to detail admirable, and the story interesting enough to be remembered. I played it traditionally (as in not in VR) and loved it all the same. Beautiful and bold work, CAPCOM. You truly brought innovative and horrifyingly wonderful new life into the Resident Evil franchise.

    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

    I played this game in VR and must say it is great in both VR and regular. The horror and eery feeling stays with you throughout and you stay hooked throughout the game. Perfect survival game that makes you feel helpless and yet allows for weapons to be useful still. I hate horror games and jump scares, but this game has convinced me to change my opinion. Must buy in my opinion.

    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

I really felt like it was the perfect horror game experience. Play this game alone at night with either headphones or surround sound cranked up and you will be jumping out of your seat. It does a great job drawing inspiration from various horror movie styles, and balances some excellent in your face jump scares with the slow burning tension of subtle creaks and groans. Being that this title is more like the early resident evils the gameplay is more in the scouring of items, inventory management and exploration through expository story telling and puzzles than the actual combat. This is no gameplay tour de force like Resident Evil 4, If you go in expecting that you will be disapointed. It is clunky and slow paced on purpose. But what it does it does really well, namely drawing you into exploration and scaring your pants off. I felt the game had a perfect length as well, and some minor incentives to jump back in for a second play-through. All in all in my opinion exactly what the franchise needed. Side note I can only imagine what playing this alone at night in the dark with VR would be like.… Expand

    I've only played a few hours, but in that short time I can't speak highly enough of RE7. Yes, it is a stark departure from Resident Evil of old, but the complaints about that are trivial. It abandoned Resident Evil norms for something better: a visceral survival-horror experience and a return to form that Capcom hasn't displayed since, arguably, the very first Resident Evil.

    Resident    I've only played a few hours, but in that short time I can't speak highly enough of RE7. Yes, it is a stark departure from Resident Evil of old, but the complaints about that are trivial. It abandoned Resident Evil norms for something better: a visceral survival-horror experience and a return to form that Capcom hasn't displayed since, arguably, the very first Resident Evil.

    Resident Evil as a franchise is all over the map in terms of scariness, gunplay, and the like, and this game reverses what has been a rather negative course in the recent history of the series. For the first time in a while, you feel helpless within the confines of one of the most genuine horror settings I can think of. The Baker house is brutally detailed and full of heart; there are so many items and environmental cues to chart the descent into madness that has surrounded the home and the family. I actually was afraid just being there. Unlike RE5, 6, or Revelations, you're not a special forces soldier with an arsenal and a buddy at your disposal. You have weapons, but your best bet is often to find an alternative to fighting, or risk some pretty brutal and visually engaging fatalities. Think Outlast meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but with more polish and vision. It is horrible and fascinating and it paces the action so well. It also keeps you horrifyingly uneasy, throughout my time playing, I never stopped thinking: I do not belong here.

    Perhaps the only drawback I can come up with is that, at times, it feels too much like Outlast and recent FPS horror games, and plays on some recycled tropes at times. For example, an initial encounter with the Baker family puts the player in a familiar situation in modern horror: hide, wait, listen for footsteps, and try and sneak around a patrolling baddie. While this format has the ability to ratchet up the tension with frequent chases and unnerving changes of pace, after a death or two it loses all impact. At that point, the fear of capture no longer outweighs the frustration of defeat, so sprinting around and largely ignoring the atmosphere becomes a habit to progress. While it certainly isn't a dealbreaker, and this specific sequence is thus far the major one like it that I've experienced, I hope encounters like that are fewer and farther between in RE7 than they are in other titles as I progress further.

    Overall, it is terrifying, visually stunning in a grotesque way, the story is compelling, the location is already legendary in my pantheon of horror... I could go on. If you like scaring yourself silly in a beautiful and captivating way, get this game ASAP.    … Expand

    [+]Lleva la esencia de tener que volver para atrás y abrir zonas que no se podían acceder, mediante un mecanismo que se uso mucho como el de llaves con distintos símbolos.
    [+]Su Atmósfera es muy bueno con tonos oscuros y sucios de ese filtro de su nuevo motor gráfico y con su sonido que te mete muy bien en el juego.
    [+]Su Jugabilidad es bastante buena en cuanto cantidad de armas que puedes usar, forma de tener que decidir si tener que hacer medicina o balas, falla algún punto como las mejoras del personaje. Lograron hacer un juego en primera persona bastante bueno con algún error (Jack baker sus ataques algunas veces te atraviesan) pero bueno
    [+/-]La historia me pareció bastante interesante pensando en recatar a mia, pero cuando la encontramos al principio ya dejo de ser una misión de recate a tener que escapar de la casa de los bakers (me parece que tiene un inicio un poco aburrido)
    [+/-]Su ubicación me gusta la atmósfera que se da en un pantano (Luisiana), los sectores de la casa están muy cuidados para que se puedan crear atajos y no es complejo para no quedar atascado, lo que si me parece que algunas zonas hay puertas innecesarias como donde se libra la batalla con Jack Baker, hay dos puertas una necesitas una llave cualquiera y otra una llave de serpiente. cuando consigue dicha llave es puerta solo te deja pasar a otra zona que habías explorado podría se un atajo pero te lo dan muy tarde, hubiera sido mejor un puerta de esta cerrada del otro lado.
    [+/-]Su personaje principal Ethan, yo creo que se hecha de menos esta entrega a los personajes clásicos pero Capcom quiere dar paso a personajes que no son nada del otro mundo solo personas normales, no gusto que Capcom no quiere que nos encariñemos con Ethan, como los demos personajes de la saga
    [-]Los enemigos, hay una cantidad muy baja en cuanto a variedad. los Bakers son enemigos recurrentes no están nada mal, pero los molded son los mismo con diferentes particularidades (pero son 3 o 4 tipos)
    [-]Su Duración es un poco corta de 10Hs-15Hs, (las 15 horas si lo terminas al completo)

    En fin que me pareció un juego Muy bueno en el cual la gente no creía y dice ser copia de otro juego del genero, pero llego a tener su esencia Resident Evil.    … Expand

    Capcom is back with another installment of the Resident Evil franchise, taking the series back to its roots of survival horror. Does this installment live up to its origins or does it feel more like an action game?

    Story: In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard you play a character named Ethan who goes searching for his missing wife Mia; she has been missing for three years in Louisiana. Upon your arrival in Louisiana, you encounter a psychotic family named the Bakers, but there is a dark secret behind their driven madness. Your goal is to save Mia and escape the Baker mansion.

    Gameplay: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a first person psychological survival horror game. You go around exploring the Baker mansion and the grounds, collecting items like antique coins, keys for certain doors, exploring puzzles, and fighting off the molded (enemy type) with weapons from handguns to grenade launchers. This is the only the beginning of the game; you never know what is going to be around the corner. Filled with many jump scares and psychological horror, you will beg for the game to be over. Each baker family member is a boss fight but they are not too difficult which is nice, and as you get farther into the game you dig deeper into finding out what is behind their madness, discovering that things are not always what they seem.

    Conclusion: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard delivers a punch when it comes to the horror; from the classic feel of a messed up house, things moving around and hearing sounds, the puzzles, finding hidden rooms where someone may be kept prisoner, in no way does this game fall short. It is worth the eight hours of your time.
    Resident Evil 7 Biohazard: 9/10
    Good Job Capcom.

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

    The game can not compare much with Outlast, which is what many are doing. Resident 7 is different for the simple reason that in Resident 7 you can defend yourself, other than Outlast that you can just run and hide.    … Expand

RE7 manages to capture the key elements that made the originals such monumental classics, albeit in a much less cheesy and more modern fashion. The first person view can be seen as an updated version of the original's forced perspective, keeping whatever lurks around the corner hidden until it rears it's (very) ugly head. The bulk of the gameplay is very similar to the original Resident Evil; confronting or avoiding enemies, collecting keys and other items to unlock rooms and doors, as well as collecting documents to uncover more of the backstory behind the decrepit Baker Estate. However, RE7 doesn't just copy and paste what made it's predecessors a success, it makes them it's own by adding a new spin, replacing some documents with interactive video tapes that often reveal key details of what you need to do at certain points in the game, and then there are the Bakers themselves which function like an updated version of Nemesis from Resident Evil 3, they can be momentarily knocked out, but for the most part that can't be killed. 'That gun ain't gonna work they way you think it will'.

    Still, RE7 is not without it's flaws. The boss battles, while spectacular and engaging at first, can often get annoying when you have to repeat them multiple times until you figure out the trick to besting the enemy, and while the Bakers are very well designed in how they act/re-act, the lesser enemies in the game feel stupid by comparison, often letting you run straight past them, making them virtually harmless unless you get yourself cornered or play on the madhouse difficulty which is generally unlocked post-game unless you nabbed the pre-order bonus survival kit which unlocks the increased difficulty early.

    Overall, Resident Evil 7 is a phenomenal horror game and, even better, a fantastic Resident Evil game, which is something that we have been waiting for in the mainline series for quite some time. While RE4 and 5 were fantastic action/horror games in their own right, they lacked the heart and soul of the original core games that made them such a hit with the original fans that have stuck around since the 90s. I sincerely hope that Capcom uses RE7 as a mold (no pun intended) for future installments of the series, perhaps continuing the RE4/5 style of gameplay within the Revelations sub-series because, lets be honest, the co-op in RE5 and Revelations 2 was bloody fun! RE6 even had it's moments.

    Please, do not listen to the reviews giving this game obnoxiously low scores, because I guarantee that more than half of them have not played the game. Look up gameplay (but not too much, the mystery is half the fun!) and listen to people that you know for a fact have played the game, and then make the choice for yourself.    … Expand

It's also excellent to see a shift from the hollywood blockbuster direction the series had been going in to something more immersive and gripping.
    It does lose some tension towards the end as the action shifts from the house to other areas and there is an increase in the number of black monsters. The final boss was also quite dull, it's essentially just a cutscene. I enjoyed the game from start to finish though and i'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a horror survival game with a similar feel to Outlast.    … Expand

Definitely has a lot of rememberable characters. the atmosphere was creepy, set in the Louisiana bayou I was hoping to see a zombie gator but never came across any. Took me about 11 hours to complete and I was taking my time trying to find all the collectables. Only Cons I can think of is it was to short I wanted to keep playing longer and the ending could of been a lot better. So if you are on the fence of buying I would say buy it if you are a fan or buy it when it drops to $30 which will probably be soon. I did not Play this on VR but you could totally tell this game would be perfect for it.… Expand

RE:Biohazard is the latest and one of the greatest survival horror games to be created. The story, atmosphere, and solid gameplay make for a unique experience. Personally, the dread and excitement I felt constantly bombarded my rationale; trying to find the best method to the madness in this game. The game gets a 11 of atmosphere. This is a well produced game and the visuals are a treat to adore. The game is approachable to casual gamers and veterans of the series. My only gripes is that VR is obviously the definite experience as its the first AAA title to be brilliant and enhanced by VR. I feel the developers sacrificed some depth into gameplay and complexities of the story. I dragged out my experience and beat the game in 10 hours but it does have replay value as its always exciting to return to the Baker family (the villains). This is a game you will want to try on VR someday and one you want everyone you know to try out to feel absolute horror.

    I love this game and the even the DLC, while lacking some depth and being somewhat of a rehash of some levels and game mechanics and a bit "arcadish", is STILL better than most in that it feeds my craving for more environments and insight into the world and its characters. I love this game and highly recommend it. I can't wait to see whats in store for Resident Evil 8, I'm anticipation is killing.    … Expand

    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. May not be the best Resident Evil plot or the best characters, but the family of monsters that chases us throughout the game makes us keep the pulsations always high.

That hurts the immersion a little bit.

    That said, this game is very well made. The graphics are beautiful and the moments in the beggining really made me feel uncomfortable AND left me terrified. Being pursued by Jack, that comes out of nowhere is absolutely unnerving. I could complain about its length, but I played RESI 2 again during the previous weekend and I finished the campaign with Claire, on normal, in about 3 hours. Sure, there is the whole scenario thing, which could make the game last for about 10 hours.
    Anyway, in RE7 the boss battles are amazing and seem to be taken from a horror movie. The weapons are also cool and there are many itens throughout the scenarios, which can be a pain to find (unless you take some pills that will help you out in this regard).

    RE7 is both for fans and for newcomers. It can be hard at times, which is good, and it recquires ammo management, but it is a very sattisfying and horrifying experience.    … 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.

    A fantastic transition back to it's survival horror roots, maintaining the core systems of the franchise, i.e. spooks, ridiculous puzzles, ect.

    The only real qualm is that it's too short.

    As a long time fan of the Resident Evil franchise, I can say I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

For so long it seems the series was in a nose dive spinning further and further away from its horror roots, and turning into an almost sometimes off-putting action shooter. RE7 is a welcoming throwback to the golden age of gaming and a return to what many old fans would agree is what made Resident Evil so amazing, to begin with. Although the FPS is a new take on the series it's a surprisingly pleasing addition that emphasizes the overall terrifying environment around you. I thoroughly enjoyed the Baker family mystery. When I was not on the edge of my seat in terror, I found myself wrapped up in trying to figure out what happened to make this disturbing family become what the have. On a mechanical level, the games runs very smooth and offers a wide range of weapons more satisfying than the last. The overall graphics are stunning and utilize the full power of the PS4 which (is in my opinion) one of the best-looking games on the console to date. My only complaints derive from nitpicking put I will state them anyhow, personally, I would have liked to seen more intricate or at least more unique boss fights, and the DLC left something to be desired. It wasn't bad by any means, just not worth the $9.99 I paid to play. The first DLC batch comes off as mini games they could have thrown into the main game or at least should have offered after beating the main storyline, much like in other RE installments that gave us The Mercenaries, and Assignment Ada mini games upon completion. With all of that being said, the good far outweighs the bad elements and RE7 puts itself near the top of the best in the series. Now, all we can hope for is that Capcom continues making Resident Evil the way it was always meant to be played, a true survival horror experience. ~ieatplants… Expand

    VR is how most games are going to want to play this game, as long as they are not prone to motion sickness. The VR aspect of RE7 is done much better and with better options then Regular PSVR games.
    I mean this is no Silent Hill 2, a master piece. Neither is it like RE2, RE3 Nemesis, or Code Veronica. And it is not like most older cult favourites Haunting Grounds, Rule of Rose, Siren or Fatal Frame. It is defiantly something new mixed with Classic Resident Evil games. This for older games might not be the direction they would want to see the game go in, but if i had to inject my opinion, this is a whole lot better then Resident Evil 5, RE 6 and the mediocre spin offs in between.

Besides the not so good looking opening scene (outside daylight), the acting, character models, and gross flesh all make the environment tense and dark--perfect.

    Aiming in VR is much better, being low on resources showed me true survival, enemies are pretty challenging to kill, and the boss fights are really memorable. The only missteps are some levels felt a bit complicated (maybe just cause I'm not that good) and dragged out when solving the puzzles or finding the right objects, and for PSVR, the floating hands and the fade in transitions took me out a bit on immersion.

    Overall, RE7 is a top tier VR game and a really good game even without that. It embodies what a true great survival horror game should be.    … Expand

I’d argue that Resident Evil 7 also has the best boss fights in the entire series. You get to know Jack and Marguerite Baker before you fight them and that makes their fights much more interesting. They actually have conversations with you during the fight and it just adds to the already insanely fun fights. The boss fights are much better than generic bosses like a giant snake or shark from previous entries. I was always open to the idea of Resident Evil in first-person, but I never thought that I’d prefer it over third-person. The safe rooms also make a return for the first time since Resident Evil and the inventory boxes also make a return which made me very happy. If you’re someone who loved Resident Evil and quit playing after Resident Evil 4 because the series was going downhill, I can definitely recommend this game to you as it returns to the roots of Resident Evil while controlling like a first-person shooter.

    It's exactly RE. RE was built on the idea of resource management and horror. Boil it down, that's all it is. It was the first to do it, maybe not technically, but it's the game that mattered.
