    Resident Evil 7 will take your breath away. Literally. After a lapse in the series and lore with RE5 and RE6, Capcom's Biohazard reminds how much we love survival horror.

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

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

    It's **** awesome! The great comeback of legendary series. The first person view give a new impression from classical survival mechanics and do it right. No doubt it's a true Resident Evil.

    Resident Evil 7 is a really interesting comeback to the survival horror genre for Capcom. The game really transmits sensations that we did not feel for more than 10 years with this saga and that is worth admiring. May not be the best Resident Evil plot or the best characters, but the family of monsters that chases us throughout the game makes us keep the pulsations always high.

    I love the new direction.As with RE4( one of the best games ever made),a shift in direction brings Capcom back into the game.Yes,it's way too short and can feel like an extended demo but the future now looks bright for survival horror.Triple the length,add some more enemies and locations and the sequel has the potential to be a masterpiece!

The gunplay was good,(even better in VR) graphics were a 10. This game feels like Resident Evil 1 except in 1st person. highly immersive, story was great, and scares aplenty. My wife couldnt even watch me play as she kept having near anxiety attacks. This is the resident evil Ive been waiting for for years. I wish there were more in common with the old characters and stories but from what i read it does tie in and the future free DLC with Chris Redfield will tie it together more. Cant wait to see what they have in store next. Amazing!!!… Expand

    First things first: When I read Capcom was going back to their horror roots with REVII I thought "Yeah, right, fat chance..."

    I had no faith whatsoever in this game, but I bought it because I wanted a AAA game to play with my shinny PSVR headset. Well, that did not went well.

    I had no faith whatsoever in this game, but I bought it because I wanted a AAA game to play with my shinny PSVR headset.
    Well, that did not went well.
    After 2 hours playing the game in PSVR I decided I am too much of a coward to go through it, I almost died 5 times of a heart attack.
    So, I put both away.
    Then, I had a plan: finish the game in normal mode, to know where the scares are, then do it again in VR.
    Well, first thing: the game is at least 50% less scary in normal mode, even playing in 49 inches 4K curve HDR TV.
    But, I got tell you guys, it is still scary, scream in horror scary.
    Now I am 7 hours into. That because I stop after for a rest, a brain rest mind you, cause the game is so well crafted that I fear it could drive me insane if I went right through it.
    When I was a teenager I played Silent Hill. And after finishing it, I had nightmares about it.
    I got say: I dreamed about RE7 4 times already, and the scenes, sounds and even music stay with me: it is a masterpiece.
    So, I think it is the most amazing horror game I ever played in my life, and no matter how much it sells, it is less than it deserves.

    One thing though: beware playing it in VR, it is almost dangerous if you have a heart condition.
    I am so amazed.    … Expand

    I really tried to like this game, but sadly could not get over the utter disappointment with just about everything that this "reboot" of the RE series delivers. 
     
    As soon as I started it, I was completely thrown off by the extremely poor lip synchronization. In fact, it was like a train wreck — I couldn't stop staring and admiring how atrocious it was!  But that's nitpicking.

    As soon as I started it, I was completely thrown off by the extremely poor lip synchronization. In fact, it was like a train wreck — I couldn't stop staring and admiring how atrocious it was! 

    But that's nitpicking. So moving on, the game itself is aesthetically pleasing with very polished visuals. I must admit that the Baker's house looks great, and the first person view did not negatively impact the game for me. 

    But that's where the compliments end. The story is completely lacking and the characters are utterly forgettable. Aside from paying $60 to play, this game fails to give me any reason to continue playing. Rather than providing a plot, building on its characters and their back story, and escalating tension throughout the game, this entry to the series resorts to a non-existent plot and hollow characters. As for escalating tension featured in older RE games, this game resorts to jump scares, which are ineffective, predictable, and are utterly shallow. In fact, this makes the game rather dull and boring — unlike older entries in the RE services, where you are apprehensive when entering a new area, or going through an old area with a new item, slightly resenting what will happen next. Nope, this game takes that feature away for... BOO! And even those jump scares fall flat.

    All this aside though, the biggest disappointment of all is the game play. The game is extremely repetitive and features a dismal array of enemies.  Despite the illusion of freedom and the ability to walk around, It's practically on-rails game play, dictating what happens when, destroying any replayability.  The gun play is, at best, awkward. This, mixed with the lacking story and characters, makes you feel utterly disconnected to the game and made me question why am I playing this and why do I care. This makes the game boring and uninteresting.

    All of this, along with its lackluster 8 - 10 hours of game play, make this RE7 an underwhelming game and not worth the price    … Expand

    The game is fun and exciting. It is not very scary (at least for me). The ending was disappointing, long, slow and bad. I would give the game 9 points if not the ending. Final boss fight was very short. The game is still good! Played it in 6-8 hours.

    The story and characters are cheap. They lack dimension and depth. With a plot and characters so thin, the game relies on its environment and horror.

    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.

    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.
