    Resident Evil 7 is the first real AAA VR game come out. Unlike the other RE games this game is in first person to facilitate this. I definitely welcome this change as I'm not a fan of lot of the older games. As far as the VR goes it works and it's cool to see but it doesn't offer anything over the base game experience.

    A well done game. Great visuals. Solid controls. Innovative scripting and some genuine scares. I had to shut it off a couple times and turn the lights on!

    A great return for the series. I have enjoyed them all but this one stood out for me. It reminded me of the first game where fighting wasn't always an option.

    Resident Evil VII is a very fun and greatly compelling game. It creates a solid atmosphere and really pushes the series into exciting new directions.

Everything feels kinda scripted, there are few moments that I felt in danger of anything. Nothing even resembling a normal enemy shows up until you're almost finished with the game, and that makes things kinda dull beyond the greatly telegraphed appearances of The Family. Compare that to the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill games where danger lurks beyond nearly every corner, there's just no comparison in my mind. I don't mind a change, this game is great mechanically, but gutting these elements is a mistake for such an established franchise.… Expand

    this time resident evil turned to their roots. FPS does not look much for old games except for being. especially the Baker family is very good at keeping you in tension. the story, the atmosphere, the music are great. If you do not like the latest resident evil games, give this game a chance. maybe it could be the game of the year.

    When I played the demo I didn't liked the idea of a fps game, and I disliked the main characters for being kind of weak and not memorable like Leon, Chris or even Ark Thompson.
    But after my friend got it I went to his home to play it during the weekend, and let me tell you it is a really good and creepy game. You will feel rewarded after killing each enemy, and the atmosphere is amazing. The level design is not the best, but it is very well designed, the swamp, the houses and the trailer, all scary places and there is some good vibe about the scenarios. The graphics are good enough and the sound will make you insecure and scared, like there's somethin lurking in the darkness. The gameplay could have been designed better,but you really feel rewarded for your good aim, and most (if not all) enemies have a weak point, and you will find that some weapons work better against certain enemies, that right there is clever design. Puzzles are present and most of them are kind of easy to figure out but still very funny and you have to think and reason the solutions. The inventory design should have been like the classic resident evil games, but this inventory is in real time, wich I disliked the idea at first, but being honest it would be much easier if the inventory wasn't in real time. The key objects are very interesting and you can notice that they put effort in designing the doors, the objects and even the objects that you can watch but can't pick up. The whole world in resident evil 7 is worth looking at and you will feel rewarded for exploring each place. There are clues that guide you where to find some items or how to solve puzzles, and some other files will tell you the story of the game, wich is interesting but it could have been much better, like using better characters and using places related to umbrella or some kind of lab, but it's still a very good plot that has nothing to do with previous resident evil games, wich is very dissapointing.
    Finally, this game is funny, scary and immersive, The ammo and healing items are very limited and you should use them wisely, that's what I call survival horror, Hope the next entry in the series will return to 3rd person and add some more creepy music to the game.
    Beware of long loading times, that is not a good thing, thankfully you don't have to wait much between cutscenes.
    I give this game a 6.4, which is closer to 6 than 7, and if you are wondering if it is worth buying, let me tell you that you won't be dissapointed. Resident evil series is not dead yet.
    Good:
    + Good atmosphere and creepy places
    + Cleverly designed puzzles
    + This game is not hard at all, the difficulty is just normal
    + Nice graphics and audio
    + Good artwork and objects design
    + True survival horror elements, very limited resources and rewarding exploration
    + Plenty ammount of resources to be found, but they are still limited because some enemies take too much bullets to die.

    Bad:
    - Repetitive enemies and tedious gameplay (sometimes)
    - Awful boss fights (not all of them)
    - Confusing plot and uninteresting characters
    - Main character is too weak and has terrible voice acting.
    - Overpowered enemies and bosses, they take too many shots to die but they are still easy and predictable.
    - Unrealistic and cliche moments, like shooting that old man and he don't even react to the bullets, or like when you plug your leg back just with some liquid.
    - Terrible designed madhouse mode, wich only exposes the gameplay flaws of this game, this game does not have much replay value after all.

    This game is fantastic! In addition to being nostalgic, bringing elements of old games that we keep in the heart, it is also innovative (for the franchise) behind new elements and new airs. Resident Evil was deserving a game as well done as this. The graphics, the audio, everything is so beautiful that you can see the good commitment of capcom to this game.

    The horror is back to the roots for real this time. Even in a first-person perspective, the game still manages to bring the vibe from the original series while the only setback is the third act of the game which drags the story too long for me.
    One of the best RE game so far, and as a long-time RE fan, I personally loved it!

    There are moments in our gaming lives that stick with us. I guess it's sort of akin to how they describe your life flashing before your eyes...glimpses of highlights. Well, when I think back to monumental moments in my years of enjoying video games, this will undoubtedly be one of the few.

    Ted Baker is chasing me, and as I feel the adrenaline coursing through me, I'm actually turning my head and looking back while running away. I'm hiding in a hallway, and I lean out to peek around the corner, making sure the coast is clear. I look down and over my shoulder as I'm descending a ladder into a pit of hell. I'm actually trapped in that godforsaken mansion in the bayou.

I didn't really die much in the game, and even when I did there was no real penalty. The story in the game was sort of vague at times and didn't really make a ton of sense but it didn't ruin the experience by any means.

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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was not thrilled by RE7.
    The series took a turn from the classic 3rd person view to a 1st person, usually associated with other horror games (and shooters, of course). The story is a rather personal one, and we do not get the usual big game tragedies we have come to expect from Resident Evil Games ever since the 1st one. I cannot complain that this is a bad game; however, I am not sure that it is a Resident Evil game: aside from a few facts (not mentioned to avoid major spoilers) and scenes that could had been left out without substantial change to the game or, to be more accurate, were included for no apparent reason other than branding it Resident Evil, there is literally nothing that justifies this game being launched under this franchise. I understand that many people may not consider this important if they are enjoying the game, but managing expectations is also justifiable: if one buys NBA 2017 and ends up with a baseball game, maybe they will enjoy it very much... but that's not what they wanted to buy.
    Of course, one should always read reviews etc before buying, however I am not sure that the reviews can adequately explain how different this game is: it needs to be played in order to be felt.
    Aside from this most obvious criticism, I was not thrilled by RE7; although it has its moments, it also has its flaws: in my opinion, the boss fights are appalling! tThey do not convey any feeling of horror nor any feeling of achievement once they are completed, but merely serve as vehicles to move on to the next level, which by the way takes mostly place in the same locations. So, all in all, I think this is an entertaining and well-made game, but not anything special. I have higher expectations from the company that once gave us RE4, easily one of the best games of all time, and I hope that their next release will focus on recreating the feeling of being lost in a creepy world of horrors, terrible monsters and ridiculously outrageous conspiracies to destroy mankind, and not just in some old farmhouse with a monster family that doesn't right out kill you for any other reason aside from letting you play the game...
    Overall, this is nothing more than an above average survival horror game.    … Expand

The voice acting is actually fantastic which is such a surprise since resident evil is known to have pretty bad voice acting. the gameplay is great, encounters with the baker family are unique and scary and you never feel that you have control of any situation and really feel like your trying to survive. unfortuently there is a lack of enemy variety but the baker family does a great job making up for that with how each one of them offers variety and new challenge throughout the whole game or atleast until you get towards the end of the game. this game is a hell of a good time and constantly surprised me with great memorable moments and an actually pretty solid story. the key things here were that the game was scary, fun to play and never got stale, with situations changing and great level design for a majority of the game and was a very memorable experience and im very excited for the future of resident evil.… Expand

    I have come back and edited this review since I have completed the game.

    This game is literally a masterpiece and Survival Horror has returned in its full form. From the beginning of the game, you are introduced to a world of horror. Not the paranormal mind bending type horror like Silent Hill, but a more confronting and claustrophobic type and it just works so well in first person.

    The game focuses on the Baker family who are ready to kill you for trying to rescue Mia after capture. No spoilers involved here, but its very clever as to why they want you dead.

    The games graphics are some the best I have seen in a long time. Not just for resident evil games, but for games in general.
    Normally games fall short in gameplay as a sacrifice for graphics, but I can safely say it doesn't for this. The core game will probably take you anywhere between 7-10 hours depending on how well you're going. This to me, is the perfect game length due to the pacing of it. Its not too slow or too fast.

    I need to emphasise that NOTHING is overdone. Think of it like a box of goods - It's all compact, presented neatly and nothing is scattered.
    There are smooth transitions between each area and you are never playing in each place for too long.

    - There aren't copious amounts of enemy encounters so they are arranged appropriately
    - Bosse's aren't in huge numbers and they are also situated at the perfect points of the game like the common enemies.
    - The voice acting is mind blowing movie quality. There are no cheesy lines or over stretched dialogue, just natural and raw emotion. Each character has their own characteristics which make them even more disturbing. Marguerite for example - the pitch of her screams while shes hunting you down really scared the hell out of me.

    Eventhough normal difficulty is good as it is, Madhouse mode brings out the best of the game. It forces you to play differently. Items are re-arranged in other places and you need cassette tapes to save. It makes you think when to save your game. Saving as soon as you see 3 tapes on the table is usually not the best choice. It tricks you and makes you think beyond what you would normally do. Sometimes you may have to survive for a long time and collect several items before you trigger a boss and THEN save. Keep those cassette tapes for dear life and use them wisely. Madhouse mode is extremely difficult, but not a frustrating difficult. If you die, its your own fault. The game is fair enough to challenge your mind by doing the not-so-obvious work around for you to succeed.

    If i had to pick on something, I would say at least one more enemy type could have been good for the game. But then again, the limited enemies that are in the game are placed thoughtfully and their patterns change depending on what you do.

    Amazing game.

    Played this using the VR. Amazing, VR gives a whole new definition to horror games haha! Definitely some moments where it's pretty " ayyyyy." Graphics are pretty degraded for VR but I honestly could careless. Great story, decent mechanics. If you're up for something different; this game is worth a shot.

    Resident evil is back on top!

    I have been a fan of the series since resident evil 4 which still stands as being one of my favorite games of all time. Since that game, the resi series has been going down hill quite rapidly. Resi 5 was good but not great and resi 6 was just a disaster. When resi 7 was announced I loved the idea of it going back to its roots and was praying that the    Resident evil is back on top!

    I have been a fan of the series since resident evil 4 which still stands as being one of my favorite games of all time. Since that game, the resi series has been going down hill quite rapidly. Resi 5 was good but not great and resi 6 was just a disaster. When resi 7 was announced I loved the idea of it going back to its roots and was praying that the fear factor wasn't being over hyped and that it wouldn't be a let down like the previous 2 games. Thankfully I had no need to worry, One of the best survival horror games out there.

    Before I get into my review, I am mainly talking about the VR version. i have played the entirety of the game in vr and played tiny portions of it on the TV just to see what the difference is. On an ordinary TV this game is great, so if you do not have a PSVR set the game is still great. However if you have a PSVR then quite honestly there is no other way to experience this game. The immersion and fear is quadrupled in VR it is spine chillingly brilliant. Obviously the graphics take a hit from how they appear on the TV but this never ever becomes an issue as actually feeling like you are inside this world is far better than having great graphics on the TV. Besides the graphics in VR are mostly very impressive besides outside which in all honesty can look quite poor at times. Just as an example of how much difference VR makes I tried a small part of the game on the TV and then after played the same bit in VR. I was walking into a room and dolls that were hanging on the ceiling dropped to the floor, on the TV I hardly even noticed and carried on moving forward. I played in VR and when the dolls dropped I literally jumped out of my own skin, because when things like that happen, just for that one second you actually believe that you are truly there.

    There are some criticisms of the VR mode that come to mind but none of these really detract from the game. The biggest issue I have which is also a big issue I have with many other vr games is that you only have disembodied hands and no arms I find this takes you out of the experience a little bit, although you do get used to it pretty quickly. I just wish developers could find a way to give you arms. There is also a very small part in the game where you get stabbed in the belly (this is not a spoiler) and when you look down you can see that you have no body and can just see the pen which you were stabbed with is basically floating in midair. The only other slight negative is that cutscenes are not in vr but appear on a large cinematic screen instead.

    Now for the game play. This is survival horror at its best you really do have to take care of the amount of resources you use up and think carefully about what you should bring with you and what you should keep in your storage box. Running low on ammo really ups the tension and makes you have to use stealth to the best of your ability. There are some genuinely good scares in this game too, both from the jump scares to genuine freakiness. What also adds to the tension is the fact that you don't always know where to go making you feel lost in a good way.

    I truly can't recommend this game enough!    … Expand

Not to mention the funny yet also atmospheric writing that, a lot of the time, expresses what the player is thinking and feeling.

    The boss battles are same old RE, find the weak point and shoot, its the grunt enemies, the things that serve as nothing more than an obstacle between boss fights, they are we the game really starts to show its true colors. The enemies are so boring, so generic with such poor AI and lack of variety you start to notice the same problems with pretty much every other aspect of the game.

There are three variables to it though, one of them has a blade on his hand, the other crawls on all fours, and the last one is a fat one. When the fat one comes out do not worry about him, the game will make sure you have plenty of remote bombs to easily dispose of them. That is really all there is in terms of regular enemies, unless you wanna count the few small wasps that are in the bug house. But I am getting ahead of myself, lets start where all things should, at the beginning.

    The beginning was really well made, it felt like a wanna be Alien Isolation, having Jack chase you around was kinda scary, but if not that, at the very least it was fun. But then Jack keeps popping out and throwing jokes around, calling you on the phone like a child and wanting to "play" games, lol. The same goes for the rest of the Bakers. A bunch of retarded hillbillies, Lucas being the worst of them. These antagonists just aren't scary, they aren't memorable. they are not in the least bit threatening.

    The final area of the game takes place inside an abandoned mine. By this time CAPCOM clearly had run out of the few ideas they initially had. The whole area is just move forward, with not detours, secret rooms or even a single puzzle. This area takes about five to ten minutes at most to clear. This time there will be many enemies coming at you though, but fret not. They will be targets for you to unload your ridiculous arsenal at them. When you clear the mines the game will hit it's all time low. The final area of the game, which is right back where you started. It's all a scripted slow walk through the house where some little girl is giggling at you trying to scare you? The final boss comes out and it's all a scripted fight that of course you are not meant to lose. I am not kidding, it's all a scripted event, you hardly participate in it.

    The game is loaded with items too, there is an overabundance of health items, ammo, guns. easy access to a powerful magnum which i never once fired. I kinda felt bad for the bad guys even using my M9. This game is too easy and not scary in any way shape of form after the first two to three hours. After that it starts showing its "Uroboros" at you. By that I mean that it starts turning into a mediocre Resident Evil 4 which is Resident Evil 5.

    I am returning this piece of crap at Gamestop for any money they give me. Well as long as it is ten dollars or more. Paying more than ten dollars for this mediocre so called Resident Evil game is too much. I payed fifty........    … Expand

    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. The first RE was also supposed to be first person. RE7 explores, has resource management, horror, puzzles, backtracking, mystery, and first person.

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.

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.

From there the game is filled to the brim with the horror elements that the series was once known for. The switch to first person was a great idea as well. The limited mobility and the limited vision from the first person perspective is a very nice touch and makes things even more scary.
    There are a few negatives though. Without any spoilers, there are some loose ends within the story that were never fully explored and the enemies start to become very repetitive, to the point where they start to lose their scary touch towards the end of the game after having seen them so many times. Also the puzzles are beyond pathetic. For a series that was once known for their puzzles, this game really dropped the ball in that department for some reason.
    RE 7 is hopefully a good sign from Capcom that the series is going back to its roots. After the shift in tone from RE 5 and 6, and the terrible arcadey action from RE 6, it's nice to see that Capcom gets it with at least one of their franchises and works to fix the problems after enough backlash. Can't say the same for all of their franchises but this will do for now.    … Expand

I even enjoyed re4, re5, and re6 better than this entry. The enemy variety was very poor which decreased the scariness. Also, the game started off super strong. I thought the first half of the was brilliant and I wish they kept that pace the whole game. I felt the second half of the game was repetitive and very lackluster. It felt like it belonged in a side entry game. I think they put too much filler towards the end. Also, the bosses were not as good as the old school resident evil games. I think this game is a good foundation for future games in the series. Hopefully, they can improve on their mistakes and make the next game a lot better.… Expand

The atmosphere is top notch and the plot is very serious without any cheesy lines that were an integral part of all previous Resi games. I really loved the plot as it tells a very nice and serious story. The final third of the game is a bit boring compared to the fantastic first two parts. What I loved though and hats off to Capcom for that, is how they managed to make Resident Evil 7 a potpourri of the best components of all previous games: the atmosphere and tension of the first 3, the action packed-but still atmospheric style of 4 and Revelations and the omission of everything that 5 and 6 got wrong (I doubt there was anything right especially about 6 but anyway). Overall, kudos to Capcom and I hope this is the start of a new era for the Resident Evil brand.… Expand

    I've played nearly all the RESIDENT EVIL games and this is without a doubt my favorite. The graphics, gameplay, and story are fantastic. It's an intense thrill ride that keeps you playing for hours! The new "first person" approach worked beautifully for this game. If you're looking for a suspenseful, action packed game with a few puzzles, look no more!

    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

    Close corridors, Scary mansion, terrifying atmosphere, remind you of something? Capcom have left behind the action spectacle of Resident Evil 6 and have gone back to the survival roots or have they? Resident Evil 7 is about a typical guy who goes to save his girlfriend in a scary mansion out in the wilderness, but its not so typical as this scary mansion is much scarier than you would think. Before you enter you really get that shivering feel of what horrors are awaiting you...and they all come true. As I progressed through the many layers of the mansion loosing limbs jumping from my seat, screaming for dear life against a person much bigger and stronger than me PLease DDon't!!! which is all probably good for my heart right? I began to think that this was the horror game that I craved for a while... and yes it was for a while until!

    The monsters started to get much bigger and less scarier? How is that possible?, well maybe its due to when you play a game like Resident Evil its all about survival, and yes you do fight the odd mutated monster now and again, but not to the scale of were I feel I'm playing FFXIV. Yes for the first four hours you will enjoy RE7 and reminisce to true survival horror, and will have adapted to the new game-play of RE7 especially the new fist person view approach that really gets you up in close with the horror. However as you progress the fond memories of generic recycled monsters who aren't that scary anymore such as in RE6 and RE-Revelations will be the horror for you.

    Perks
    Graphics.
    First person horror.
    The first 2-3 hours.
    First encounter with a true Zombie.

    Negatives
    The last 3-4 hours.
    Big Monsters.
    Recycled Monsters, wait didn't I just kill you like several times before?
    I'm bored now with you go away!
    too many guns?
    Why call it an abandoned house? when its clearly a HUGE mansion!

    Resident Evil 7 has all the horror tucked into that so called abandoned house, but it's downfall is that there too much

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a weird game for me you know. It felt like a step forward as a horror title but two steps back as a video game if that even makes sense. There is briliant moments like the begining house and the "Happy Birthday" events which felt almost out of place to the rest of what this title was. Its moments as a horror escape fantasy were great but moments where you seem to be on a "hunt and kill" sort of mission seem really really ... uninspired?

    I enjoy the return to form of hunting down keys and opening certain doors while danger looms and roams around a house. Felt amazingly resident evil! But what it wasn't... was scary. Resident Evil 3 Nemesis does this better and the jake Campaign of Resident evil 6 feels like a better "Being chased" Horror fantasy.

    I want more like this but I want the game to be just overall improved. The end just turns into a really easy section of resident evil 4 and loses all horror aspects and that was kinda a bummer.

    I blame it on production rushing near the end but this is a game that has a lot of potential and I want them to hit the peak of greatness with this concept because this didn't quite reach the bar of a great game. It had great moments but were overshadowed by a rather dull low action game ending that played like Crysis without interesting threats.    … Expand

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

    What an awful entry in a good series. Frankly, the story of Ed Gein and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre never appealed to me and that is exactly what this game has regurgitated. I find this a useless, disgusting and sad commentary on the gaming industry. Is this the best we can do? Apparently it is and that is pathetic. I strongly suggest not wasting money on this garbage.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The slow, plodding movement only makes sense in the context of expensive "3D" head-tracking goggles, or possibly an attempt to create extra tension within the mostly vanilla slasher-flick environment.

    The usual clunky interface is present, yet presents less of an obstacle than expected--relatively speaking. Detailed visuals more than manage to set the disturbing tone with a mix of realism and "found footage" style. The sound design is also particularly impressive, but the mixed-bag of English voice acting ruins and enhances the mood in equal measure--unless you're in it for the whole B-movie shtick for which the series is known. No one plays this sort of thing expecting a deep plot, so the thick layer of otherwise solid cheese in VII's writing is unlikely to scare anyone away.

    There are also several difficulty levels, weapon upgrades, and secrets that invite multiple runs through Capcom's twisted little nightmare. Purists may be repelled by the break with tradition, but overall, i would rank this among the best that the series has to offer. While I can't comment on the VR experience, RE VII was clearly built with such hardware in mind, so consider that before you dive in.    … Expand

    With that said, it plays, feels and moves like the older RE games, with FPS tank movement, limited supplies, big boss fights, creepy atmosphere, jump scares, scary stuff, etc. During your first playthrough, this game is a true rollercoaster ride and WILL challenge you.

    Should you go for the Madhouse difficulty playthrough, you're looking at a serious test in skill. (Unless you are a masochistic gamer whose favorite game is Dark Souls and play only on the hardest settings...then it's not) Outside of that, playing through the game gets boring and loses it's fun. Which does always happen in most of the Resident Evil games. Had the game been given more out of the box content, vice a DLC season pass. Resident Evil 7 would've been a near perfect experience, then again ALL games are doing this now, and Capcom is a bigger offender of this type of marketing; so I won't hold it against the game.

    - Ethan Winters has a striking resemblance to Henry Townsend from Silent Hill 4: The Room.. rip-off maybe?
    - Ethan is too weak and senseless beyond acceptable. pushing doors, running, lack of emotions whatsoever.
    - Hand got sawed off, did not die from bleeding out. Wow!!!

    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

    The return of a great franchise.
    After a disappointing Resident Evil 6 comes back Capcom with a controversial but nice game REVll is a great game full of scares like their old survival horror games, pleasant gameplay, realistic combat and a short but pretty good story.

    You can not miss this great game 8/10

    A solid return to survival horror. I just wish there was a third person option. Outside of that I'm pleased with this game overall. Stay on this path on RE will be ok again.

    Juego que vuelve a las raíces digan lo que digan. Da miedo y mucho felicitaciones a Capcom. El único pero es la poca variedad de enemigos en el juego comparada con otros de la franquicia pero el agobio que genera el ambiente tanto visual como musicalmente es soberbio .

This game is meant to be played in VR and believe that you´ll have a unique and marvelous experience. The impact, the thrill, the plot, the characters, the immersion, the "smell", the sound, the old RE feeling atmosphere, the art design ... all these earn another level of sensation. Thanks Capcom for this majestic doing. I cross my fingers other studios afford similar experiences from now on.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is pretty good, it has a decent survival horror aspect and characters, its definitely different than the other Resident Evil games but stands on its own enough.

    Not very fun, pretty repetitive, about 6 - 8 hours of game-play yet a 60 buck price tag. I don't know, I'm not wowed. Graphics are good, but other then that the story is bland and predictable, but somehow doesn't really explain the little things. Like I said, I'm not wowed. If you want to kill the same enemy 50 times, and do the most scripted "boss fights" you've ever seen, give this a try.

    That's my first RE series game. And for me this is a nice balance of horror, mystery, puzzles, shooting and hiding.
    Interesting story and nice idea about VHS, but there are not so much of them in game.

    Un excellent jeu, et pour moi un excellent Resident Evil. Je suis fan de la série depuis l'époque Rebirth/Zéro, et c'est le seul épisode qui depuis me ramène à cette époque. Peur, stress, progression rythmé comme on le veut, un gameplay volontairement restrictif au début et qui évolue, etc etc. Une musique qui redevient caractéristique, une mise en scène plus juste, et une histoire quiUn excellent jeu, et pour moi un excellent Resident Evil.

Peur, stress, progression rythmé comme on le veut, un gameplay volontairement restrictif au début et qui évolue, etc etc. Une musique qui redevient caractéristique, une mise en scène plus juste, et une histoire qui tout le long à un intérêt (qui ? quoi ? pourquoi ? comment ?). Un vrai RE, au sens noble du termes.
    On revient aux sources, enfin, et ça fait du bien après plus de 10 ans de disette. Personnellement, j'adore. Rien de plus à dire.

    Je ne mets pas la note maximale pour plusieurs raisons : quelques soucis graphiques et les DLC payants qui ne fait pas du bien au jeu (et à Capcom, une nouvelle fois...).

    PS: La seule chose que je souhaite pour le prochain jeu, c'est que Capcom laisse faire à nouveau les étrangers. Ils sont plus proches de la réalité qu'une pseudo philosophie qu'ils ne maitrisent plus depuis des lustres...    … Expand

    Honestly, I don’t know if the world is ready for a game like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in VR and that’s exactly what makes it so exhilarating.

    Whether played in VR or not, Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a thrilling game and it shouldn’t be missed. If you have the option to play the game with a PSVR, you should by all means do so. Regardless of how you play Resident Evil 7: biohazard, just be sure that you do because it is one of 2017’s finest releases and the constant stream of DLC keeps the nightmare alive.
