    Un juego excelente, volviendo a la esencia de los survival, rejugable, muy bien adaptado a la época, con la dosis justa de acción, mucho gore, junto a los 3 primeros este es de los mejores Resident Evil.

    I never really thought that there would be another really good resident evil, I was wrong this game is awesome!
    Just like the original it's all about surving monsters in a spooky house while solving some puzzles n stuff.
    I have 2 complaints however, first the game is to short, I beat it in 8 h and there's a trophy for beating it in less than 4h. Short. It was 8 great hours though with    I never really thought that there would be another really good resident evil, I was wrong this game is awesome!

    Short.
    It was 8 great hours though with atmoswere thick enough to cut with a knife.
    Second thing I dont like is Madhouse difficulty.
    It raises difficulty by removing some checkpoints this forces u to relive scary and shocking moments until its not scary anymory, Stupid!
    Otherwise great game.    … Expand

    A very well made game with good Art, story and implementation. But there is left me with a major answer: Back to the roots, or finding a cover to hide from a AAA looking slender?

    I was really unsure about RE7 when I found out it was switching to first person (having always been a third person gamer) you have proved me wrong though: RE7 is a beautifully atmospheric game that any long time fan will love, the first person view works very well and I can't wait to see where the series is heading. Well done guys, fantastic game

    Resident Evil is an original horror . it is not just a solid game , it is a great comeback for capcom after3-disappointed parts of the series . who can't love a game gives all elements which true gamer want ( horror - survival - action - puzzles - story ) . If you have a list of masterpieces , you should add this one to it

    This is one of the best Resident Evils I've played in years. The attention to the atmosphere keeps you on edge all the time. The characters are disturbing, creepy, funny, and enjoyable. The story keeps you interested just trying to figure out what's going on. The guns follow a nice classic Resident Evil, handguns, shotguns, etc; It's satisfying blowing enemies heads off.

However, that's where this game falls short a little. The enemies are extremely bland. The boss fights, while some are fun, others fall short. The last boss can be slightly disappointing. All in all, I highly recommend trying this game for yourself.

    Positives:
    Good character design
    Guns are classics, and still enjoyable
    Multiple ways to play through the game

    Negatives:
    Enemies fall short on design
    Lack of variety

    I was so excited when it was announced that CAPCOM announced they were working on another RESI so much that I pre ordered it from day one. I was super excited to hear that they were going back to the classic survival horror style rather than the action genre like RESI 6, I didn't really care when it was announced that it was going to be in first person, I liked that they have taken a lotI was so excited when it was announced that CAPCOM announced they were working on another RESI so much that I pre ordered it from day one.

    So is Resident Evil 7 any good?? The answer is yes & no, for me. Though the game started off very strong, reminiscent of the original in the mansion. Trying to survive the baker family was intense especially when playing on madhouse difficulty, the boss fights at the beginning of the game were great though I was very disappointed with the last 2 boss fights as it just felt lazy as the monsters just looked a mess graphically to the point i cringed. I also felt the story at the end dragged on longer than it needed to, the overall sound & voice acting in this game is excellent though Ethan character appears a little bland    … 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!

    Quit after attempting first boss. While playing first person is great for the horror ambiance, escaping damage feels like a crapshoot. Not gonna waste my time with this game when I have to manage my inventory in the middle of a boss fight so I can actually beat it. Why would they make you clear inventory for the chainsaw?? Moving and evading monsters just feels so clunky and slow. TooQuit after attempting first boss. While playing first person is great for the horror ambiance, escaping damage feels like a crapshoot.

    Resident evil 7 feels like a survival horror fps game? Yes.
    It feels like a true resident evil game? No.
    Is it worth playing? Of course. Is it scary? Yes. 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    Resident evil 7 feels like a survival horror fps game? Yes.
    It feels like a true resident evil game? No.
    Is it worth playing? Of course.

    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.

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

    Let me start by telling the reader a little about my past with the RE franchise. I am 30 years old with 2 older brothers, the oldest of which is 10 years older.

I am 30 years old with 2 older brothers, the oldest of which is 10 years older. It was him that came back from the store with a Playstation, a new T.V and of coarse Resident Evil after getting his student loans and financial aide on march 25 or 26, 1996 :-). I I know the date only because it was a few days after RE's initial release in the U.S. We spent almost 13 hours straight playing it. That started my infatuation with the RE series. For some context, and I know most might disagree but as far as my favorite (I'm not saying its the BEST one, just my favorite) Resident Evil 2 has to be my favorite out of all of them. I was amazed it came with two discs to play as different characters, whose stories intertwine all throughout the game. I know, I know you aren't here to read about some punk's past with RE. I just want to give the reader some context. RE7 is definitely a return to RE's roots as a survival horror game. I must say I was super weary about RE7 being in first person but it really does a fantastic job of making the setting and enemies even more unsettling. Almost in the same way as the original. Like in the first few RE games, that third person perspective coupled with the tank controls made every corridor, and really long hallway super suspenseful, all because you simply couldn't see anything that was more than 5 or so feet from your character. The first person perspective works somewhat in the same way. That cone of vision is super limited, giving you a very uneasy feeling. I am not ashamed to admit that it is f@#king scary as all hell. Not just cheap jump scares either. I am talking 100% bonafide terrifying. One gripe I have, and I don't want to spoil anything for you here so I will be super vague, but it is really difficult at times knowing when you are supposed to fight or run. This lead to being very wasteful in terms of ammunition, and getting myself in really bad situations. You could say that it just lead to an even more cautious play style, but an annoyance none the less. I am not real sure about anyone else but for me using VR is the BEST way to play, and honestly could not see myself playing any other way. I'm shocked I haven't seen many people that was all that impressed with the VR gameplay. Anyway, if you are a long time RE fan I think you will like this one. Still not perfect, RE7 gets ever so closer to it's roots while being a much more modern take on the genre.… Expand

    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.
