    Mostly just bleh; no screams of terror here. The "family" is such an outdated southern rural American stereotype with buffoonery dialed up to eleven that it insults the player's intelligence; the wife you're out to rescue is introduced with so little emotional attachment there's no motivation to rescue her in the first place; acting (particularly the unfunny camera crew) is so atrocious itMostly just bleh; no screams of terror here. The "family" is such an outdated southern rural American stereotype with buffoonery dialed up to eleven that it insults the player's intelligence; the wife you're out to rescue is introduced with so little emotional attachment there's no motivation to rescue her in the first place; acting (particularly the unfunny camera crew) is so atrocious it elevates 'The Room' to Shakespeare levels; scares are solely of the jump variety that Hollywood is so fond of. 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.

    The scariest experiences we've ever had video gaming were when the NES would occasionally eat our RPG saves; modern horror games have still got a long, long way to go.    … Expand

    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.

    After RE6 sevenths part is very, very good. It's the RE we like. The story, graphics, gameplay, atmosphere are great. Some moments are really scary. I'm afraid to play it in VR :)

    OK, so you watch a movie and suddenly you are in it and moving around :D how silly is that? Game seems like it was made in 2007, not 2017 by all means and is not realistic as well.

    После 6 части, которая была треш-стрелялкой в плохом смысле этого слова, 7 часть очень изменилась во всех аспектах, что однозначно идет ей в плюс! В игре снова появилась та "самая" атмосфера из предыдущих частей!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the great disappointment of RE 6 (I know that many like it but...) Capcom decided to completely redesign the series.

    The truth is that at the beginning I was reluctant to try this title, but when I finally did, I didn't regret it. I don't think it's the best release of the saga but it certainly fulfills very well what is necessary to be a good videogame and a good Resident Evil.

    It has good puzzles, the horror and atmosphere is really scary and it has BOWs as it should be (not those shooting enemies since RE4 ).

    However, the enemies vary little and are boring, the first person perspective is not to my total liking (yes, there have been RE like that before, but spin-offs), I don't think you ever felt that vulnerability of a classic RE (pre-RE4) and in the end you feel like you're playing a Call of Duty. The "tone" of the horror is very "basic American horror movie" and that, even if it works, makes it stray quite far from the original tone and I feel it was too cliché.

    If this game had been in classic perspective like RE remake, it would have been much better, but I think even in first person it works.

    The plot is not bad, it just wants to be pretentious to the end to be pretty meh, the whole campaign seems something ghostly or paranormal, it feels like the biological side was only added at the end to fulfill that it's a Resident Evil and the "DLCs" of Chris and Zoe honestly are better and should have been in the normal campaign, not extras (even if one of them is free).    … Expand

    RE7 is a fresh take on the Resident Evil series that fondly recalls the classics even as it takes a bold new direction.

The sound design at Capcom also took a huge leap forward with this installment of the series. It is a very polished experience, and if you can't see that, you're delusional or too stubborn to see it.

    My minor gripes include the slow sprint speed, sluggish aiming, tiresome backtracking, and bullet-sponge enemies. I'm torn between giving an 8 or a 9 out of 10.    … 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

But as the journey went on I found myself entranced by the mystery, enjoying the supernatural elements as they kept weaving themselves into the story, until I was completely enthralled by everything that was going. I may have jumped a few times, but I never once wanted to look away. After enjoying both the story and the characters as much as I did, the only complaint I had was how short the game was, which I hope is rectified in Village.… Expand

    Great game, this is the most horror RE I've played by my opinion. I'm not very familiar with the series but I think they made it perfect for the genre. There is as much action as it needs and the environment is as dark as it should for this game. The adventure has great pace as well, and also has the right amount of challenge. I highly recommend it.

    Maybe some people are mad at capcom for change the camera to first person view but as an old school fan evil series , I think it really worked.

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
