    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.

    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 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.

The game was challenging in the beginning, but as I started getting more guns and ammo I found it fairly easy to blow through enemies. 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.

    This game had a lot to live up to and I think i managed to do so. I have been with Resident Evil since the beginning and I did not like 5 and 6.

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
