    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.

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

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

    - Gritty atmosphere
    - Jump scares

    - Plastic coated graphics
    - An exhausted genre in every way
    - Slow and dull controls.

Graphics are stunning on T.V, and is a slight downgrade on PSVR (which I played the majority of the time). 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

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

    Lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta. Este no es un juego habitual de Resident Evil. Aquí nos adentramos en un mundo mucho más oscuro, realista y macabro. Irónicamente, es el juego de las saga que mas tiene similitud con su título `Resident Evil´ (Residente Malvado), es el mejor titulo posible para este paseo lleno de pesadilla y repugnancia.

    Recordemos que: Mientras en otros juegos de la franquicia, el personaje junto a un gran arsenal de armas, se adentra en una aventura de acción y suspenso en la que matas zombies y salvas el mundo....RE7 deja al lado todas las comodidades. La historia se basa en un hombre que va a buscar a su esposa desaparecida, y se topa en una casa llena de horrores, donde la supervivencia es la prioridad definitiva, mientras es acechado por una familia con insaciable sed de sangre.

    Es imposible evitar las comparaciones de este juego con P. T Silent Hills (2014), tanto en dirección de cámara, como jugabilidad y la forma exitosa de crear suspenso... Aunque a mi parecer, RE7 lo supera en todos y cada uno de esos aspectos. Este juego esta diseñado para sumergir al jugador en un estado de estrés extremo. Hay escenas horrendas de tortura, mutilación y daño psicológico hacia nuestro protagonista. Y no hay nada que se pueda hacer para saltar dichas escenas.
    Se puede descubrir un largo historial de referencias a los demás juegos de la saga, y películas de terror de los 70s y 80s. Siendo una de las mas notorias `Evil Dead´ De hecho si este juego hubiera seguido su propio universo sin depender de la saga Resident Evil, habría pertenecido sin dudas a la franquicia `Chainsaw texas Massacre´ , las similitudes que tiene con dicha saga van mas allá de un simple guiño.

    La primera mitad del juego es una perfecta mezcla de Horror psicológico, Gore extremo, realismo y momentos perturbadores que son dignos de una calificación NC-17. Sin embargo la calidad del juego baja considerablemente cuando se convierte de repente en un producto común de la saga Resident Evil. Entonces, el drama psicológico con el que empezó esta entrega, termina convirtiéndose en un juego de Acción, Sci-Fi, y survial horror típico de la saga, una verdadera decepción que no hayan decidido concluir de la forma tan innovadora y excelente en la que iniciaron. Este tipo de giros pueden ser peligrosos ya que son los que arruinan juegos enteros, aunque por suerte, este no fue el caso en su totalidad.

    En resumen. Es un titulo plenamente dirigido hacia un publico adulto y a los fans del horror, el cual ofrece la oportunidad de vivir una experiencia en el mundo de Resident Evil, desde los ojos de la victima. Éste fácilmente habría sido el mejor juego de toda la saga, si hubieran mantenido un solo rumbo en la narrativa, dirección y decisiones de personajes. Su alto nivel de contenido sádico, inmoral y explicito deja a juegos como Manhunt en pañales. Único, visceral y gran homenaje al genero de horror extremo.

    Resident Evil 7 takes the series back to its roots while completely reinventing the series. From the creepy atmosphere and psychological tension to the pitch perfect jump scares it's a master class in horror but play it with a VR helmet and it's on a whole different level! A real return to form, perhaps the scariest RE game yet!

    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

Also, there is almost zero mention of previous titles in this game, like nothing about Raccoon City or anything resident evil - related. If this game didn’t have a title, very few people would even know this was a Resident Evil game! Also not a big fan of leaving 2 of the biggest boss battles as extra DLCs - they should have just included all this in the base game!

    It seems to want to try to be both a survival horror game and an action horror game and fails horribly at being either.

If you want to be a survival horror game, you need to be able to maneuver around and avoid enemies, and you also need to have a proper stealth system that allows you to hide. This game does not have a stealth system and it takes place almost entirely in tight corridors that allow for no room to maneuver around enemies, and you also move about as quickly as Stephen Hawking on a unicycle, so clearly the game isn't made for this type of play. Perhaps you're supposed to shoot your way through them like the normal Resident Evil fare?

    Not so. Your guns do next to no damage, you have a very small amount of ammunition and you die in two hits. The aiming is wonky and enemies move around so much that it's basically impossible to hit with any kind of precision. So clearly the game wasn't designed to be played this way, either.

    Maybe it's a mix of both? Unfortunately, you need to be at least decent at either of these methods of gameplay in order to achieve that, and this game is absolute garbage at both, so unfortunately no. In conclusion, this game is hot garbage as a survival horror game, an action horror game, and just a game in general. It's not good at all and I'm appalled that so many people praise this. I was expecting to have a nice time as a horror game aficionado, but I deleted the game after the first generic enemy because I died 15 times to it and I couldn't run away from it because it was in a 2 foot wide corridor and even if I did get past it, there were two others in the next room that cornered me. Do not waste your money on this game like I did. I'm glad I got it on sale and not for the full price, though I wouldn't play this game even if it were free.    … 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

The visual design is great and the levels and environments while not always completely diverse, were creative and disturbing. The music is eerie and serine and always at the right place and time. 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

    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.

    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.
    I loved that Capcom decided to throw that action **** out the window and strip this game to the survivor horror that it is. I think that this is the first Resident Evil Game for a long time that made me jumped out of my couch.

Squinting around in the game's frequent monochromatic tunnel vision sequences gave us headaches; the VR experience gave us motion sickness before we got in the house. Boss battles are monotonous and feel cheap when you realize the models are just teleporting around the map; AI and physics issues mean "Dad" is prone to getting stuck on the garage shelves during your first fight with him. Severely limited ammo elicits frustration rather than fear as you encounter the same generic baddie for the eleven millionth time. Most confounding of all was "Mom" barking at us to "get out of her house" - we're trying to, Madam, but you're blocking the doorway.

    I want to preface this entry saying, my least favorite Movie/TV genre is horror. I do not like anything horror related because for me it falls into 2 categories. Either it’s not scary and its just a poorly made action movie or it disturbs me on a psychological level and then I’m not able to sleep at night. This game was the latter for me.

    This game made me more afraid than I have ever    I want to preface this entry saying, my least favorite Movie/TV genre is horror. I do not like anything horror related because for me it falls into 2 categories. Either it’s not scary and its just a poorly made action movie or it disturbs me on a psychological level and then I’m not able to sleep at night. This game was the latter for me.

    This game made me more afraid than I have ever been in my entire life. It put me on edge almost immediately and I was on edge for a vast majority of this game. Its the perfect mixture of jump scares, psychological torment and low points that make are just long enough to make it so you start to feel safe. Once you start feeling just a little comfortable, bam! The game throws a curve ball.

    The game starts out with a perfect and classic horror trope. Its just enough to get you hooked and make you want to see a little bit more of the game. The game starts out with your wife (Mia) sending you a video message saying, how she loves you and she can’t wait to come home from her babysitting trip. Then the game cuts to another video that has her apologizing for lying and then her telling you to stay away. Then the game cuts again to a car and it’s you (the main character) driving and you’re on the phone with some other man. The Ethan (the main character) is talking about how Mia (your wife) just reached out and wants you to come get her. So now you’re on your way to someplace in Louisiana that is in the middle of nowhere. So within the first 2-3 minutes of the game, you’re wife wants to see you, doesn’t to see you and then wants to see you. Right off the bat, what is happening?

    You end up finding your wife fairly quickly but she’s not overly happy to see you which just adds to the confusion. This is when the game really starts to take the first step to being creepy and disturbing. Your wife is possessed and every other moment she switches from wanting to kill you to loving you. So right after that you’re hit over the head, knocked out and then you wake up at a dinner table with the Baker family. Who are the main antagonists in the game?

    I’m not going to go into any more specific detail than that. That’s all within probably the first half hour of the game so I don’t feel like I’m spoiling too much. The rest of the game, you have the simple goal of getting Mia and yourself out of that house. You do this by solving puzzles, avoiding the Baker family as best you can and going through these pointless boss battles. The boss battles are probably my biggest complaint about the game, you can’t kill the Baker family so they’re kind of pointless. Outside of the boss battles and just in the game itself, it’s very effective because you always feel weak against them.

    What made this game so scary for me is there is always the thought that something could pop out at any point. They set the tone of this game early on very well because of the tone of the music. At all times it made me feel uneasy and I never felt safe. Unless I was in a specific room which was a “safe” room where you could save your game file, it was peaceful music and no one in the baker family could enter that room. That room was my decompression room, anytime I started to panic and get nervous I would make a “B-Line” straight to one of those rooms which are scattered all across the map.

    The game itself is really split into 7 areas. There is a shack where the initially starts, the main house (where you wake up), an area called the “old house,” a “game area,” a boathouse, a wrecked ship and then a swampy salt mine. Probably 2/3rd’s of the game are in the old house and main house which is the scariest part of the game. The back third is really more of an action/third person shooter that’s a little creepy. What I also liked about the back third was the wrecked ship was the part of the game where almost everything gets answered. So the narrative part of the game had a been building up and presenting all of these questions that are revealed during that part.

    The game ends with a final boss that isn’t too difficult. If you like horror films and TV shows then this is a must play. There is something about a video game where you’re in control that really ramps up the horror. The fact that the game is in first person rather than third also makes it that much more stressful. This may sound odd but I am very proud of myself for finishing this game. It was very hard for me because it is so scary and so well done. I don’t think I will ever play another horror game but I’m happy I experienced this and powered through.    … Expand

    Let's start with the VR review: Playing this in VR was one of the most impressive and most fun gaming experiences I've ever had, bar none. Experiencing survival horror in PSVR gave me the same mindbending sensation that playing the original RE on PlayStation 1 gave me in the 1990s. After turning off all the comfort restrictions and letting myself fully loose in the VR mode, I was blown away by how immersive, moody and scary - not to mention intuitive - it felt to play the game in VR. Shooting at enemies using head tracking and navigating dark hallways with tense muscles never felt better. From the control scheme to the pop-up menus, everything just works unexpectedly smoothly for a first generation VR game. The folks at Capcom have done a great service to the medium of VR games by showing that it can be done without compromises. Sure, the resolution of the PSVR is noticeably inferior to a 1080p, let alone a 4K TV, so the image quality suffers. I wasn't bothered by that all that much. It is more than compensated for by the high framerate and the ability to have terrifying encounters with demonic enemies at close range. There aren't many full-length VR games out there, so RE7 doesn't have much competition, but standing on its own merits, RE7 in VR is an uncompromised experience that can only be described by one word: EPIC. While the medium is still young, RE7 gives us an exciting and pioneering leap into the unknown future of video gaming.
    Survival horror redefined!

    GAME REVIEW: The game was originally marketed as something completely different, but make no mistake: RE7 happens to be a good, traditional Resident Evil game. It may not the pinnacle of the series, but its highs are some of the best in the entire series. The transition from third to first person was unexpected, but they achieved it very well. Nothing was compromised in the process. All the traditional gameplay mechanics of classic RE games are here, from herbs to locked doors. The cultish family was an inspired choice for a storyline and the dilapidated setting of the Louisiana mansion fits the franchise perfectly. On the negative side, it is quite short, and the last third of the game is rather weak. These drag down an otherwise stellar experience, but luckily not by much.

    Overall, as a RE game, I give it 8/10. The VR mode alone is 10/10. So, overall, a solid 9/10.    … Expand

    Despite my preference I always admired the Resident Evil franchise, particularly in terms of the look and feel of the older games. The character and environment art in the original is truly unique.

    I played RE 7 for a total of 30 minutes. At the start of the game you are wandering through a boring and drab wasteland. Don't judge the surroundings too harshly because it is probably the most interesting location you will see in the entire game. I know it because I watched videos about the rest of the game once I sensed what a play-through would be like.

    The graphics are very realistic. But there's a point when an A-rated video game becomes a B-rated movie. For anyone who enjoyed this game I respect your opinion. However, if this was a movie would you be interested in watching it? The story is cliched and the characters are underdeveloped. It's a B horror movie!

    I think the developers have traded the original look and feel of the Resident Evil franchise for passing trends in the horror movie world. Previous Resident Evils have been criticized for becoming too mainstream and "actiony." Too many bad guys, and not enough time alone in the game to wonder what's around the corner.

    But this is worse. A game with no soul and no originality is no RE sequel at all. I'm disappointed and I hope the developers make a different choice next time.    … 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

    Been a resident Evil Fan since the first on PC way back in the 90s. Seen the franchise evolve. Seen the good and the bad come and go. After a long list of entries, main cannon and spinoffs. Resi 7 is thankfully one of the better entries of the whole series.

Seen the franchise evolve. Seen the good and the bad come and go. After a long list of entries, main cannon and spinoffs. Resi 7 is thankfully one of the better entries of the whole series.

    Avoiding spoilers, the games first Act (the House and its grounds) and the very final section are the best (scariest as well) parts. The level design, the puzzles and the quality of these parts are consistent, engaging and everything you expect from the survival horror genre.

    However there's some parts involving a boat and some salt mines which left a lot to be desired. Basically if you know nothing about the game going in you will reach a point when you think the ending is about to happen and then suddenly you given a few more sections of gameplay which can last several hours depending on the type of gamer you are. you would initially think this is great to have more "content" but the "short and sweet" approach would of been sufficient.

    Summary
    Positives
    + Engaging Story
    + Level design of the house - tense, atmospheric, well scripted.
    +excellent Visuals
    + One of the best VR experiences currently avail on PS4
    +some actual scary/tense moments
    + the Baker family - the most engaging, tragic, well designed virally infected foes see in a video game to date.

    - Short, but not at all a bad thing if done right. which only a small part let them down.
    - Repetitive boring basic enemies that spoil the game.
    - Not enough Baker Family going into the final Act.
    - Clunky controls at times (during combat)

    Overall a 8/10, it was better than expected - and in my opinion, offered a lot more content and quality over the likes of Outlast etc. its one of the better entries by far. Excellent bargain bin buy, if you can get it cheaper which as of writing this review you can.

    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

    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.

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

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

    I find the bakers uninspiring and their junkie house not very impressive to look at. I miss the extravagant opulent look of the various scenes of the early series.

I love the whole ambience of hearing them slowly walking around the corner and moaning in anticipation of the up and coming encounter. Why do you have to mess with a perfect legacy for the sake of changing it up?

    Well another first for me. I just deleted my saved data and all of the game data after playing for only four hours. I just got randomly waylaid by Mr. Baker again. Of course fighting him is an exercise of futility since you can’t kill him and your only recourse is to run away.

    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.
