    This game is so boring, all you do is walk around and manage inventory. The only thing "Resident Evil" about this game is the title. Everything else is a total departure from the franchise including the fact that its a FPS. Hard pass, No buy!

    Generic first person horror game, no real exploration, easy puzzles, no charismatic characters, no real Resident Evil lore, lazy ass and cheap location, game looks cheap, better play Outlast honestly.

    THIS IS NOT RESIDENT EVIL, it's more like a silent hill rip-off in first person, because for some reason that's what people like these days :/ Hate the VR experience, Resident evil games are and should always be in 3rd person perspective but well time to wait a few more years for another resident hope this time the make it worth while the wait.

    Looks more an horror movie than a resident evil game. I get the feeling that the game is an Outlast with mod with guns. Theres nothing about resident evil in this game. Forgotten characters, lack of puzzles, ridiculous enemies and a lot of horror movies cliches in this game. That can be anything except resident evil : (

    THIS IS NOT RESIDENT EVIL CAPCOM. This is a generic game based on generic movies of horror. Please, bring back third persoon vision ou fixed camera. The original games still very uniques and masterpieces, please, don't kill Resident Evil anymore.

    Long time fan who has played pretty much every game multiple times on various consoles, so I'm not new to the series.

    If your looking for a nod back to the old style of gameplay back in the late 90's early 00's sadly this game doesn't hold up with much, the only nod to back in the day of the early resident evil games is the little puzzles by little I mean the very few I've seen.
    This game has been designed with one thing involved and that is VR if you are planning to use a normal controller be prepared to be stuck with slow turning which ranks up the difficulty much more and in my opinion takes the fun out of what would be a good story maybe a story I've seen similarly before...OUTLAST this game feels like a rewritten script with extras to hide it's identity crisis, is it a Resident Evil game or is it a completely new game? If you took the title away anyone would believe this game to be something new as a matter of fact the only thing resident evil is the Resident in residence 'oh look another horror game based in a mansion.

    Camera: as I said this game has been designed for VR but sadly it seems as though Capcom thought they'd base alot around this, slow clunky movement in first person, no over the shoulder view if they're going to give the game a nod back to the original games why put it solely in first person why not give controller players an option to switch it's not like the game is cheap give us variety I wouldn't suggest this to anyone planning on using a controller, it's a shame they deviated again from what they originally had. I've played games which use the first person POV and they are some of my favourite; Aforementioned Outlast, The Evil Within, Dying Light, Dead Island all work perfectly but that's because Capcom haven't focused on the here and now but instead the future of what if 's (the what if's being VR) limiting players to really one game play mechanic 'VR.'
    I also felt some functions where limited; option to toggle flashlight on/off, assigning items, using items at certain points for instance nothing is happening directly to Ethan but a character is off interacting with another thing you have to wait for that character to finish fiddling around before you can heal, switch weapon or reload something I've not seen in other games from the franchise unless it's been a dedicated cut scene which you'd expect anyway but when you have your inventory open smacking 'X' over your herb or first aid you'd expect it to work at that 'cool down from the action moment.'

    This game has one good thing going for it, it is a scary game well I say scary what I mean is it makes you jump a little at times you'll hear a noise off to one side and turn to look at it; sorry 'SLOWLY turn to look at it inaccurately' because the controls are bad on a controller I can imagine in VR it would be faster, immersive and scarier, the story is good but as I mentioned it feels alot like it could be a rewrite of Outlast or even a spiritual successor to The Evil Within a good POV game.

    I just wish Capcom had made the game a little better it is 100% not worth the price tag, it doesn't feel like a resident evil game I could only find a reference in the title so how could it, it caters to a newer audience an audience who has just picked up from 5/6 not long time gamers like myself.
    It makes me sad knowing honestly I wasted big bucks on a game I don't like and will be taking back to the store tomorrow for credit towards something else.
    longtime fans think twice before you buy I'd highly advise this.

    One of my biggest genres is Survival Horror games and I like to play alot from the genre I just cant justify the price nor can I back the game play as a longtime fan to the franchise. Re-box and rename it as another game and there you go an new IP but I think people will be buying into the brand with this one.

    Sorry Capcom, honest opinion.    … Expand

If you are really desiring to try this disaster of Operation raccoon city levels I recommend that you do what I did and pay three bucks to pick it up from red box of a day.    … Expand

    How this game can get a good score is beyond me. As a stand alone game it gets a 3/10.
    For a Resident Evil game it gets a well-deserved 0.

    This looks ok, but as soon as I saw the lady speaking and her mouth was not anywhere near in sync with her words, I was instantly drawn out of the experience and wanted to hate the game.

    If any UX peeps from the design team are reading (lol yeah right..but they should be curating user review feedback, hire me I'll show you how it's done), I really think that if you concentrated on nailing the realism of the mouth movements first, then move on to body movement you'll get further, quicker. What I mean is that mouth and word sync has been a problem for almost every game since day one. Some games killed it like LA NOIRE and some others but not this one. I really feel that the realism comes from it being undistracting. You can add all the cool monsters and shock scares you want, but if the cut scene lip sync is wrong, the user is decoupled from the immersion and realizes that they are ONLY playing a game.

    Despite my preference I always admired the Resident Evil franchise, particularly in terms of the look and feel of the older games. The character and environment art in the original is truly unique.

    I played RE 7 for a total of 30 minutes. At the start of the game you are wandering through a boring and drab wasteland. Don't judge the surroundings too harshly because it is probably the most interesting location you will see in the entire game. I know it because I watched videos about the rest of the game once I sensed what a play-through would be like.

    The graphics are very realistic. But there's a point when an A-rated video game becomes a B-rated movie. For anyone who enjoyed this game I respect your opinion. However, if this was a movie would you be interested in watching it? The story is cliched and the characters are underdeveloped. It's a B horror movie!

    I think the developers have traded the original look and feel of the Resident Evil franchise for passing trends in the horror movie world. Previous Resident Evils have been criticized for becoming too mainstream and "actiony." Too many bad guys, and not enough time alone in the game to wonder what's around the corner.

    But this is worse. A game with no soul and no originality is no RE sequel at all. I'm disappointed and I hope the developers make a different choice next time.    … 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.
