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

The first person perspective makes the experience a lot more up-close and personal. Multiple times throughout RE7: Biohazard, the atmospheric spookiness lead to terrifying boss fights and then re-established the slow-burn dreadful mood. 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.

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

    Probably most Resident evil game since 3rd. At some points really scary. Great graphics especially if you play in VR. One complain is low variety of enemies this game provide.

    Since I enjoyed the Maiden demo so much, I wanted to play Ethan Winters first adventure in the deep south.

This game started off so unsettling to me because it felt too much like something that could happen, mixed in with the gross setting of the house by the bog, I wasn't sure if I would like it. 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

    Uno de los mejores juegos de esta generación sin duda alguna que no es de 10 por la muy escasa duración del juego base y por la falta de cuidado en los pequeños detalle que marcan la diferencia.

    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.

    Как то странно писали, про эту игру всякие "эксперты", что типа - "Нет, эта игра не может напугать, сюжет прозрачен" и т.д. Наверное, я бы тоже так думал, если бы на халяву, ездил по всяким заграничным мероприятиям и десятки раз проходил там разные части из игры.
    НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ!
    Это первая игра за 15 лет, которая смогла меня напугать! Даже вышедшая раньше игры демо, по началу, кажется пустой

    НЕ ВЕРЬТЕ!
    Это первая игра за 15 лет, которая смогла меня напугать! Даже вышедшая раньше игры демо, по началу, кажется пустой и безгеймплейной, что ли, составлена очень правильно, не из геймплея, а из ощущений.
    Игра хороша почти во всём. Визуально очень впечатляет на PS4. Мир проработан очень здорово, как улица, так и внутренние помещения. На мой взгляд как первые так и вторые в игре это замкнутые пространства, но вероятно это особенность данного движка.
    Шутерная механика тоже не плохая. Стрелять удобно и интересно, ну для серии Resident Evil конечно, тем более от первого лица.
    Атмосфера просто какая то запредельная. Я всегда утверждал, что более глубокой атмосферы, можно добиться только с видом от первого лица. Поэтому, она лучше, чем во всех играх серии, которые выходили с перспективой от третьего лица! Но в этом, как мне кажется и некий недостаток. Всегда кажется, что в любой момент тебя кто нибудь схватит сзади и сожрёт. Это очень похоже на ощущения в Alien: Isolation, мне не очень нравится.
    Антогонисты серии тоже хороши, как на подбор. Но к сожалению они какие то, не знаю как правильно сказать, не Resident Evilловские. По сути это просто люди со сверх способностями, ну кроме Джека и Эвелины в финале.
    Как понятно из вышесказанного, я не пробовал игру до релиза. Так, что все ощущения были естественными!
    Меня реально напугал Джек Бейкер проломивший стену прямо перед моим носом. А озверевшая Мия, страшна! Просто передёрнуло, когда она отпилила руку нашему протагонисту! И это я играл не в VR.
    Геймплей тоже на месте не стоит, здесь надо и прятаться, и отстреливаться, и разгадывать несложные головоломки. А когда надоедает этот прОклятый дом, нас переносят в прошлое, на какой то корабль и дают поиграть за Мию.
    Почему же тогда я написал - "Почти во всём"? А по тому, что все рядовые противники, ужасно унылые и однообразные плесневики! При этом их всего три разновидности и выглядят они все как то одинаково. И меня ну просто достал инвентарь Итана, каждый раз надо бежать к сундуку, что бы взять что-то или положить. Я понимаю это была необходимость на первой соньке, но сейчас 21 век.
    Ещё в игре очень не хватает русской озвучки, а шрифт субтитров слишком мелковат для консольного экрана и это нельзя изменить.
    Так же Крис Редфилд сам на себя не похож.
    Если последние строки не критичны, то игра очень хорошая, особенно если сравнивать с Resident Evil 6, в которой дух и атмосфера серии была заменена на бесшабашный шутан. Недостатки есть, но они какие то детские, очень надеюсь, что всё поправят в сиквеле.

    Jogo muito bom, mas, não acho que deveria fazer parte da saga principal, se fosse um spin off o jogo seria perfeitamente ótimo, mas por confusão de roteiro e cronologia creio que não mereça nota máxima, porém o jogo é muito bom. Achei mais parecido com uma espécie de outlast, ariscaria dizer que seria um outlast diferenciado.

    I can echo what a lot of people have said about this being a really refreshing reboot to the series, not just the first person perspective, it really boils the series back down to its basics. Though I do think that the game loses a touch of steam towards the end of the game, it's overall the best since Resident Evil 4 in my opinion.

    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.
