    Игра хорошая,но из-за названия Resident Evil я ставлю только 6. Она не имеет ничего общего с прошлыми частями. Разработчики назвали эту игру резидентом чтобы лучше её продать... назвали бы лучше просто biohazard.

    This IS and IS NOT a true Resident Evil game.

    Fans of the series will be sorely disappointed with the fact that the Resident Evil series storyline is ALMOST ignored. It's still there, but only used to COMPLIMENT the actual story of this game. In my personal opinion, they should've just sold it as Biohazard. (or another name.) This is where it ISN'T a Resident Evil game. With    This IS and IS NOT a true Resident Evil game.

This is where it ISN'T a Resident Evil game.

    With that said, it plays, feels and moves like the older RE games, with FPS tank movement, limited supplies, big boss fights, creepy atmosphere, jump scares, scary stuff, etc. During your first playthrough, this game is a true rollercoaster ride and WILL challenge you.

    Should you go for the Madhouse difficulty playthrough, you're looking at a serious test in skill. (Unless you are a masochistic gamer whose favorite game is Dark Souls and play only on the hardest settings...then it's not) Outside of that, playing through the game gets boring and loses it's fun. Which does always happen in most of the Resident Evil games. Had the game been given more out of the box content, vice a DLC season pass. Resident Evil 7 would've been a near perfect experience, then again ALL games are doing this now, and Capcom is a bigger offender of this type of marketing; so I won't hold it against the game.

    Resident Evil 7 is a perfect example of how survival horror is done right. Just don't expect more after a couple playthroughs.    … Expand

    Juego que vuelve a las raíces digan lo que digan. Da miedo y mucho felicitaciones a Capcom. El único pero es la poca variedad de enemigos en el juego comparada con otros de la franquicia pero el agobio que genera el ambiente tanto visual como musicalmente es soberbio .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. *Caveat: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard as a base game is a 9/10. With the Playstation VR, the entire package is a 10/10. It also took me roughly 10 hours to beat. Some light spoilers as well.*

    Returning to the roots of survival horror was vital for Capcom as they return to what made Resident Evil great in the first place. Taking clear inspiration from RE 1, this game takes place in Dulvey, Louisiana in the bayou, which is an eerie and tone-setting environment. At the forefront of this setting, you play as Ethan Winters; just a dude looking for his wife, Mia Winters after she has gone missing for X amount of time. As Ethan arrives to the bayou, he runs into the Baker family in their home; Jack, Marguerite, Lucas, and a mysterious grandmother in a wheelchair (who is easily one of the most scary aspects of this game due to her just staring at you—no movement, no chase scenes, she just watches you silently). Ethan needs to find Mia, and escape the infected Baker family.

    RE 7 changes from a 3rd person game, to a 1st person view game. As a Resident Evil purist, I initially found this to be a strange design decision. After playing the game multiple times though, I can say that the 1st person camera angle is a very welcome design choice for the series. Combined with the disturbing environment of the Baker home, the 1st person camera offers more immersion and the feeling of isolation that the game lives and dies on. You do in fact feel isolated, confined, and claustrophobic. Admittedly, the gun play leaves some to be desired—it can feel clunky at times, but it works well with what is there. The game has puzzle elements like in older games; some can be easy, and some can be challenging, but not so much to make the player feel completely stupid. Upgrades to your character can be obtained by collecting coins around the game, and trading them in at a trailer for increased health, weapons, etc. Also, there is no HUD in the game, all your info will come up when you interact by shooting, and your health meter can be looked it by taking a glance at your wrist Codex, it makes for better immersion.

    The first 4 hours of the game are probably the most horrifying hours I have experienced in gaming in years. Within the first hour, you are chased around the house by Jack Baker, the psychopathic, murderous father and later regenerative monster that just oozes the style of Resident Evil. At points, the player can trigger a moment where Jack bursts through a wall in the first hallway. Marguerite gives just as many scares as she can laughs at points. Her dialogue can be downright hysterical, while also being intimidating. Her bugs that she can summon on a whim are disgusting, by the way. Lucas… well, he’s just kind of a bratty kid with some psychological issues.

    The overall design of the characters and monsters just scream Resident Evil.
    Another plus to the game, is that there is a lack of quick time events, which is very welcome in my book! It doesn’t try to hold your hand too much. Entering a save room plays some very light, melancholic music, which is reminiscent of previous games.

    Nightmare difficulty mode adds the challenge you would expect; lack of ammo, tougher enemies, you take more damage. But it also brings back another thing from old RE games; the player needs to find cassette tapes in order to save their game, just like ink was needed to save at a typewriter.
    My gripes with the game are: there isn’t a whole lot of enemy variety type. It makes the game super predictable at times. Secondly, during the roughly 10 hours it took me to beat the game, around the 8 hour mark, there is a portion to the story that feels a little drawn out and boring at times. If the whole game took place at the Baker home, it would have made the experience more top-notch than it already was.

    VR mode is a whole other beast. This is what makes the game a 10/10 for me, and the killer app for a Playstation VR. The game is exactly what you would expect in VR. You get full control of Ethan, and play the whole game front to back in VR. As far as the camera is concerned, the player can move completely free with the controller, or can change it to turn in 30 degree increments to combat motion sickness. The only drawback to VR is having to aim the gun with your own head movements, which for some can be easy, but personally, I found it frustrating. Regardless, it didn’t take me out of the experience. VR adds the new layer of fear with everybody getting up in your face, making it as uncomfortable as possible.

    Overall: if you love or once loved the RE franchise, please give this game a chance. It has an intriguing story, good characters, the Baker family themselves are worthy of playing the game. It brings genuine scares and a smile to me, and potentially those other survival horror lovers.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is a masterpiece. A very beautifully done survival horror game. Well executed, well presented and well thought out. It’s addictively fun especially when you buy its awesome and cheap DLC. The king is back! Welcome back, Resident Evil! I cannot wait for the upcoming DLCs and of course, the next installment in the series. 10/10

    Even though the story is dumb, the protagonist is the worst in Resident Evil history, the enemies are lackluster and some of the dialogues are horrible i still can somewhat enjoy this game because of the sound design, mystery and exploration values. The DLCs are much better than the game itself though.

    They tried very hard to re-invent the wheel. I played Biohazard 1-6 enjoyed them all. 3 was by far my favorite one.

Let me say the game is not the type of resident evil you're used to if you've played any of the previous titles... It serves almost identically as Alien Isolation where its a 1st person narrative with no actual Plot. You figure out how to dodge enemies, hide, and memorize routes between areas. We've played these types of games before challenging? No. Good for a scare? yes. Replay value? 0. The moment you finish this game its like watching a bad movie. You've experienced it once and you aren't going to waste time doing it over from scratch again. No multiplayer, no REAL content. 60 dollar price tag for 5 hours of game content. Overall it'll drop down to 20 bucks at Gamestop when all the returns come pouring in GUARANTEED. After you beat it its just going to collect dust on your shelf. Trust me in this review wait until its 20 bucks. This isn't really a Resident Evil game by far. It serves as a stand alone project. No affiliation with the other games what so ever. Do not give in to all these other bias reviews for you to drop 60 bucks. It really isn't that amazing.… Expand

Melhor jogar com a câmera variando a cada 30°, deste modo não tive problema algum. Este é o jogo, quer goste ou não de a série RE ter mudado em seu estilo, ele é de qualidade. Recomendado.… Expand

So that makes this the first "horror" resident evil game i've played. And damn do i love it. I played the game for two days in multiple short sessions (i had to take a lot of breaks since, as i said, i'm kind of a wuss) and i can confidently say this is probably one of my favorite playstation 4 games so far.

    Please note i played on a PS4 Pro, so i can't speak for the graphics or performance an an og PS4 or PS4 Slim.
    Graphically the game is very appealing, despite some textures looking of lower quality than others. It runs solid too. I hadn't noticed any significant frame drops or screen tearing during the course of my playthrough. The character models themselves are on point as well. Storywise i don't want to spoil anything, so i'll try to be as simple as possible. the premise is: you play as a man named Ethan, who goes to a plantation in Louisiana to find his missing wife Mia. He gets there, and as you can assume, resident evil hijinks ensue. The tone of the game is more akin to older resident evil titles rather than the newer ones. It is serious, yes, but some of the line deliveries can reach almost campish levels of amusing, at least to me. I'm not sure if that one on purpose, but i hope it was. In terms of the actual plot i liked it a lot. I saw some hate for the ending section, but i didn't think it was that bad. Disappointing? a little, yeah. But not bad.

    A significant portion of the game is dedicated to exploring and puzzles. The puzzles aren't too hard to figure out, and exploring the house made me feel tension i haven't felt from a game in a long time. Gunplay is toned down down dramatically from the last few resident evil releases. That's not to say it isn't fun however. For the most part the combat is well done. You have a variety of weapons to work with to tackle the challenges you face, including boss fights, which i was surprised this game had. Being that there were limited resources to work with, almost every encounter i had with enemies had me on edge. Some people had problems with the game being in first person, and i myself have some mixed feelings about it. Yes it's scary, and yes it makes the shooting tighter, but my problem with it is more of a character problem than a gameplay problem. See Ethan as a character isn't that great. Yeah i know the focus is more on the family than him but still. I feel like if the game was 3rd person he could've felt more like... you know, an actual interesting character. He would've at least felt more like a genuine character rather than just a vessel for the player to see the game through, but i diigress.

    To be honest i had some doubts about this game when it was first revealed. But i'm relieved at just how wrong i was Overall, resident evil 7 is a truly remarkable experience, one that i'll no doubt come back to again    … Expand

    Modeled as a horror game but tripped up and became a first person puzzle shooter. Disappointing, especially with the large plot holes and lazy writing near the end. The story becomes cliche and predictable. Stop trying to sell these games as 'horror' games, games like this ruin the horror genre.

    The worst game in the Resident Evil saga, where a company trying to find relevance declines in the lowest worlds of video games delivering a product full of screamers, forgettable characters and plagiarisms of movies and videogames. It has no follow up of the saga Resident Evil nor shares any similarity, is just another Outlast in the video game industry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Post Game Review: Spoilers:

    Having completed the game and digested the plot of the game as a whole, it falls short and leaves much to be desired. Many things are completely unexplained, ridiculous or just stupid. When the game starts and meets Mia, Ethan doesn't seem shocked or want answers at all. When the cop comes to the house and is killed by Jack, there is no followup by police at all. If a cop went missing along with his car, the place would be swarming with police within an hour. No explanation is given as to why the little girl has been able to terrorize this Baker family for years even though she is an umbrella experiment. Yet this innocent Baker family just happens to have a processing room, a morgue, a mansion, another house and all sorts of bizarre trap doors, rooms, elaborate puzzles and no driveways. Also, this Ethan guy brings NOTHING with him to a bizarre ghost house, never has a thought upon coming up to a spooky looking house or the van to maybe leave, go get the police, go get some weapons, go get SOMETHING to go into the house with, hell, hire someone to go with you, or bring food. As far as being scary. The first 20 minutes are the scariest. After that, it's not. How is electric even running for those houses? I find it hard to believe they're paying their bills anymore. And those huge generators in the basement? Those would need lots of oil or fuel to run. Makes no sense at all. I could go on and on. Like, why didn't he at any point think he has to get back to his car and get the fk out of there. Why couldn't he find something to break open the door he initially came through. It was a **** wood door.    … Expand

    The original Resident Evil was a matter of resource management as you made your way between various points of a large map via various routes. There were complex factors which determined whether you might want to kill a zombie or not, whether you might want to take a certain shortcut or not, since you would visit areas many times and there were only a few points in the game where enemy placement would be refreshed across the mansion.

    Resident Evil 4 was a complete reinvention and a masterclass in how to design varied encounters, areas and traps incorporating clever scripting and a simple but diverse set of player abilities. It remains as one of the best action games of all time.

    Resident Evil 7 is a game in which the trappings of the first Resident Evil game are shoved in your face while you walk down a corridor. For the first three hours of the game, there are some scripted encounters where a hick will chase you, and in some clearly designated monster areas you will find yourself face to face with monsters in one of two scenarios: hallway, or room. You move through areas in a linear pattern, for the most part, with almost no backtracking. Your option, then, boils down to doing the objectively optimal thing in the current situation: shooting your enemy in a hallway, or running past your enemy in a room. Hallways and rooms. If you successfully master these mechanics then you have seen everything that the game has to offer and will never run out of ammunition.

    There are puzzles too, but they're approximately one step up from the infamous Bioshock Infinite lighthouse puzzle. I don't care for the puzzles in these games but if there was ever a game in need of something, ANYTHING resembling gameplay, this is it.    … Expand

    Ok let me take the bad out of the way first. The lack of enemies really bothers me. The Mofados and the Bakers are just not enough. There could be some other enemy types to surprise the player like previous RE games did. Also, the franchise is known by its cool characters and their stories. Here, Ethan pretty much doesn't have a personality and doesn't speak much during the game. ThatOk let me take the bad out of the way first. The lack of enemies really bothers me.

Also, the franchise is known by its cool characters and their stories. Here, Ethan pretty much doesn't have a personality and doesn't speak much during the game. That hurts the immersion a little bit.

    That said, this game is very well made. The graphics are beautiful and the moments in the beggining really made me feel uncomfortable AND left me terrified. Being pursued by Jack, that comes out of nowhere is absolutely unnerving. I could complain about its length, but I played RESI 2 again during the previous weekend and I finished the campaign with Claire, on normal, in about 3 hours. Sure, there is the whole scenario thing, which could make the game last for about 10 hours.
    Anyway, in RE7 the boss battles are amazing and seem to be taken from a horror movie. The weapons are also cool and there are many itens throughout the scenarios, which can be a pain to find (unless you take some pills that will help you out in this regard).

    RE7 is both for fans and for newcomers. It can be hard at times, which is good, and it recquires ammo management, but it is a very sattisfying and horrifying experience.    … Expand

    I was very skeptical when the demo was released, but i'm glad it turned out great.
    This is a true Resident Evil game through and through. The Baker's mansion bring really nice memories of the old games. The backtrack (which is not very annoying here), the save rooms, the music, the tension and suspense that comes with the atmosphere reminds me of how good Resident Evil used to be.

    I'm surprised with the voice acting, i really liked it, especially Jack and Marguerite. Really good stuff.
    There's an awesome Chainsaw Massacre and a bit of a True Detective feel in this game. Maybe because of the dark and creepy atmosphere.

    I'm very satisfied with what they have accomplished, it would be great if they keep going this way, but i hope RE 2 Remake remains intact.

    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a glorious return to survival horror yet it contains dated elements from older games. RE7 is one of my favorite games in the Resident Evil franchise. People claiming this is not a true Resident Evil experience are dead wrong.
    The game plays like classic Resident Evil games where you are forced to survive biological monsters in a single location. Here you play    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a glorious return to survival horror yet it contains dated elements from older games. RE7 is one of my favorite games in the Resident Evil franchise. People claiming this is not a true Resident Evil experience are dead wrong.
    The game plays like classic Resident Evil games where you are forced to survive biological monsters in a single location. Here you play as Ethan Winters an average Joe who comes to a creepy plantation run by the sinister Baker family in Dulvey Louisiana in search of his missing wife. The story is very simple and not overcomplicated unlike the previous games. New players can play this as this first RE game without having played the previous. The game ends with many unanswered questions and plot holes that I hope will answered in the free DLC coming up. The game tells an overall good simple story that was nothing special.
    RE7 has gameplay that is great but needs some updating. The game contains save rooms along with item boxes that were used in the early titles of the series. The player can also craft chem fluids to create health kits, standard ammunition as well as special ammunition throughout the game. I liked the game’s crafting system but found the save rooms not very useful due to implementation of auto saving checkpoints throughout the game. Save rooms were an important part of the franchise’s early history but seems archaic compared to modern horrors games. The exploration is easily the best part of RE7’s gameplay. The game rewards the player for exploration by rewarding them with more story details and playable VHS tapes. The game’s puzzles are well done and simple and do not stop the free flowing nature of the gameplay. Item management is crucial part of surviving the horrors in RE7 and I am happy to see their return here. The boss fights are hit or miss. Some where you would have a one on one encounter with one of the members of the Baker family can be very intense and uncomfortable. I wish that they have scrapped the giant mutant boss fights the game has. These boss fights lack subtlety the rest of the game has and belong in an action game rather than a horror focused title. When the player is not fighting the Bakers the player fights monsters called molded. Ethan is armed with a knife, pistol, shotgun, flamethrower to name a few of the weapons. I found that by the end of the game I was given more weapons than I thought was necessary. I feel that even though it may be a series tradition combat should be dropped in future installments or left only for boss encounters.
    RE7 has some of the best graphics I have seen in a game. It uses Capcom’s new RE Engine that uses advanced photogrammetry to design detailed characters and environments. The character and monsters are realistic and detailed adding to the scares and immersion. The game’s gore is horrifically detailed and so are the horrifically grimey filled environments. RE7 has some great environments but some are more miss than hit. The beginning of the game which takes place in the guest house is darkly detailed absolutely beautiful in the worse kind of ways looking very photorealistic while the main Baker mansion building looks too colorful or drab at times. The excessive colors make the characters and environment look much faker and take away from the impressive photogrammetry the developers worked so hard on. The game looks its best in dingy and filthy environments but looks less immersive in cleaner, brightly lit environments which show off the game's graphical flaws. RE7 besides having the visuals down has some great ambient sound effects that help strengthen the game's immersion such as the noise of creaky wood and the gusts of wind outside. Other than a few small technical problems such as texture pop in, some occasional blurry textures, and slow load times RE7 is a technical wonder.
    RE7 features many disturbing violent moments that definitely add to the fear factor but I was not very scared during my playthrough. The Baker Family can be cartoony and ridiculous at times. I found the family members of Jack and Lucas by far the least scary with their goofy over the top accents and cringe worthy one liners they constantly spout. Ironically, I feel like the game felt too much like a classic RE game at times and wish that they added more elements from newer horror games such as Outlast.
    Resident Evil 7: biohazard is a great horror game that should be played by all fans of the survival horror genre. RE7 is definitely not a perfect game that suffers from dated gameplay features and concepts from older RE games that take away a bit from the horror. But what the game succeeds in by innovating horror games through its new game engine far outways minor issues the game faces. RE7 has put the series on the right path and is one of the best AAA survival horror games of the current generation.

    Spoilers. It's "good". To call it a survival horror is a little misleading. Let's not forget, you can carry up to four weapons - including a grenade launcher. Also, your enemies have superhuman capabilities - one is strong enough to tear the roof off a car - and they are often hitting you with large metal objects, even a chainsaw at one point, and yet you are still able to fight.

Also, your enemies have superhuman capabilities - one is strong enough to tear the roof off a car - and they are often hitting you with large metal objects, even a chainsaw at one point, and yet you are still able to fight. Having such stamina and access to such an arsenal undermines the "survival" tension the devs were trying to create. With the exception of the intro scene, I rarely felt the paranoid vulnerability I felt playing something like Outlast or even Dying Light. This lack of tension coupled with very clunky fighting mechanics which, in the extreme close quarters, often made me feel I was slow dancing with the enemies rather than fighting them, I would say save your money and play Outlast or Soma or Alien Isolation.… Expand

As someone who has played 1000s of games from Atari to PS4 I have never felt this sick while playing a game until I played Resident Evil Biohazard, I was playing on a regular HDTV and I had to take breaks every 1 - 1.5 hours because I would get terrible headaches and some nauseousness. I found that playing with the lights on reduced this dramatically but It's more fun to play games like this in the dark.

    The atmosphere and sense of dread were amazing and the mystery kept me coming back. Unlike many modern survival horror games, RE:7 didn't rely on jump scares and loud noises to startle the player. The atmosphere, in general. was unnerving and gorgeous. The sound design especially was on point; from subtle background noises to the score itself, RE:7 was on point. The visuals were very good, especially the characters models, but there were a few times that textures would get muddy upon close inspection. This seems a little strange as this franchise is known for making the player look through everything in detail.

    I found the setting the game in the Louisiana bayou to be a fresh change of pace that allowed for new and interesting environments. Without going into spoilers there are more areas than what are seen in the trailer and a few in particular were new and unique.

    Capcom used a few awesome new story-telling method such as interactive VHS tapes. These tapes found around the game are used to give insight into the past and depravity of the Baker family. Upon inserting the tape you take control of the individual holding the camera. These are particularly engaging and fascinating as they allow you to explore the same areas long before the events of the game. This leads to some fun puzzle solving and rewards if you paid attention.

    When it comes to combat it feels pretty good. The gunplay isn't perfect but it's not unfair. I was glad to see that Capcom when with a RE:5 style of shooting instead of something more akin to Resident Evil 4. The ability to move while looking down the scope in RE:4 felt unintuitive to me. The enemies aren't extremely varied. You have a handful of typical grunts and then you have the main characters/bosses. The first two, in particular, reminded me of nemesis which really put me on edge. Irritatingly, the final boss was far too easy.

    This game does deviate from the tried and true and that's why it shines in my opinion. Sure, you still have item boxes, standard inventory management, and some overused horror tropes but this game but it stands on its own as an amazing game. Just don't expect to be forced to backtrack through the same area 7 times because the developers thought it would be fun to include one-way doors near critical locations (I'm looking at you Resident Evil 1 & 2). There's decent replay value if you are looking to find all the collectibles and optional weapons. There are even multiple endings and a free story add-on that will come as DLC in Spring.

    The first person POV and chilling atmosphere make this a terrifying game and I applaud Capcom for trying something new with a well-loved series. This was was Resident Evil needed and I loved it. Biohazard might be the new best game in the franchise.    … Expand

    I was very surprised by this game and I am SUPER glad that I decided to buy the PSVR in December. Without VR, I think my rating for this game would be 7/10. The VR enhances the game drastically, increasing your sense of presence in the game and rendering it as the most immersive horror game to date. I barely felt like I was playing a game; most of the time, I was actually there amidst the horror, in my mind at least. Which is exactly what I've always wanted.

The only downside is that the game is pretty short. They advertised 14-16 hours of content, but my blind playthrough was right around 10 hours.

    Resident Evil 7    Em clima de dúvidas, Resident Evil 7 foi lançado, sendo o mais diferente de todos os games da franquia até aqui. Com um enredo que quase não faz conexões com o cânone original e uma jogabilidade totalmente diferente dos jogos anteriores, o resgate ao terror aconteceu, mas aparentemente mais baseado em jogos atuais como Outlast do que nos jogos anteriores da franquia.

    Resident Evil 7 possui uma atmosfera extremamente tensa, com sustos inesperados e aquela sensação de que a qualquer curva encontraremos algum monstro. Este é o tipo de jogo que consegue te deixar em um estado de alerta constante, afinal de contas, qualquer distração pode significar sua morte no jogo.

    Apesar de não trazer personagens da franquia antiga, os vilões são muito bem caracterizados e atendem muito bem ao propósito, que é assustar. A família perturbada que "abriga" o protagonista é absolutamente assustadora. E assim, há de fato um resgate ao terror na franquia.

    Assim como desde o Resident Evil 4 muitos fãs se incomodavam com os "Zumbis" super inteligentes, aqui alguns podem se incomodar com a falta deles. Sim, não tem zumbis em Resident Evil 7, apenas monstros genéricos, além da família Baker (que já representa um baita desafio).

    Com gráficos de ponta, um cenário bem construído e inimigos desafiadores, o game é garantia de horas de tensão e angústia enquanto se tenta achar a saída da casa dos Bakers.

    Contudo, é difícil enxergar muito da franquia Resident Evil no game. Obviamente, há referências, há elementos do jogo em comum, mas além da visão em primeira pessoa, que já afasta muito dos outros jogos, o enredo não se conecta muito com o resto do universo. O que pode, ou não, ser ruim para os fãs de longas datas da franquia.

    Não se pode dizer que o jogo é ruim, muito pelo contrário, é um excelente game! Excelente ao ponto de que poderia ter sido lançado sob qualquer outro nome que ainda teria sido um bom game e evitaria muitas discussões se o jogo realmente faz jus à franquia.

    Sendo assim, Resident Evil 7 é o melhor Resident Evil que não é Resident Evil. Ignorando o histórico da franquia, a Capcom lançou um bom jogo que pouco tem a ver com o nome que carrega. O nome Resident Evil pode atrair fãs da franquia, mas também pode afastar aqueles que não a conhecem bem e acham que precisarão jogar os outros jogos para entender.

    Para voltar a gostar de Resident Evil, é preciso primeiro se desapegar de Resident Evil...    … Expand

    Intro

    Let me preface this review with the fact that I've never played a Resident Evil game, or even a horror game, and that I am historically a **** So why did I decide to play Resident Evil 7: Biohazard? The honest answer is HYPE.

    This game has been hyped as the best Resident Evil game of the past decade, returning to their origins of puzzles and horror survival, ditching the FPS feel of RE5. I took the scary factor of the game as a challenge and only played the game when the sun had gone down and the lights had been turned off. Brightness was set to the correct low level and the volume was turned up.

    Graphics

    Overall the graphics are incredible, which they should be since a majority of the time your environment is static so all rendering power can be dedicated to the environment. The only moments when I felt the graphics were sub par are when antagonists faces are pressed up very close to your own. Other than that the graphics are very high quality.

    Audio

    Audio is incredibly important in a mostly quiet horror game like this. Things are constantly going bump in the night making you look over your shoulder. Did someone just knock on that door? What was that creak? The audio is 80% of the scary factor in this game.

    Gameplay

    The game takes place in a bijou in **** Louisiana. Most of your time is spent in old destitute houses and the surrounding property with monsters and no shortage of body parts.

    The controls are very intuitive and natural, so much so that there's not much to talk about! You're in control. My only gripe is that R1 instantly uses any healing medicine you have, and to craft an item you open you inventory with Triangle, and then press R1. Needless to say more often than I care to admit I accidentally used a healing solution when really I meant to craft an item. This usually ended with me stopping the game and going back to my last save point, see below!

    I must have been saving every 10 minutes. You save your progress in little "safe" rooms that also usually include a chest to store your items since on-person storage is limited. These safe rooms are surprisingly plentiful and strategically located, but that didn't stop me from saving constantly just in case (just in case I'm an idiot who keeps wasting his healing solutions).

    Shoot for the head or run and hide! Ammo and health are not as limited as other games in the horror survival genre, but that doesn't give you the go ahead to be loosey goosey with your booger hook on the bang switch either. There are items hidden everywhere that you can collect and combine together to craft usable items like health or ammo.

    The puzzles are sometimes difficult, but not impossible. The games gives you a look into the future with the video tapes you find. When you watch a video tape you get to experience the environment you are about to go into in the "real" game which can be very useful if you pay attention.

    Conclusion

    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a very entertaining horror survival game that is hard to put down. Is it worth the price for only 8 hours of gameplay with little replay value? That's your decision. Is the game fun and satisfying to complete? Absolutely.    … Expand

For so long it seems the series was in a nose dive spinning further and further away from its horror roots, and turning into an almost sometimes off-putting action shooter. RE7 is a welcoming throwback to the golden age of gaming and a return to what many old fans would agree is what made Resident Evil so amazing, to begin with. Although the FPS is a new take on the series it's a surprisingly pleasing addition that emphasizes the overall terrifying environment around you. I thoroughly enjoyed the Baker family mystery. When I was not on the edge of my seat in terror, I found myself wrapped up in trying to figure out what happened to make this disturbing family become what the have. On a mechanical level, the games runs very smooth and offers a wide range of weapons more satisfying than the last. The overall graphics are stunning and utilize the full power of the PS4 which (is in my opinion) one of the best-looking games on the console to date. My only complaints derive from nitpicking put I will state them anyhow, personally, I would have liked to seen more intricate or at least more unique boss fights, and the DLC left something to be desired. It wasn't bad by any means, just not worth the $9.99 I paid to play. The first DLC batch comes off as mini games they could have thrown into the main game or at least should have offered after beating the main storyline, much like in other RE installments that gave us The Mercenaries, and Assignment Ada mini games upon completion. With all of that being said, the good far outweighs the bad elements and RE7 puts itself near the top of the best in the series. Now, all we can hope for is that Capcom continues making Resident Evil the way it was always meant to be played, a true survival horror experience. ~ieatplants… Expand

    Plot
    Resident Evil 7 starts you off as Ethan, a man looking for his wife Mia who has been missing for three years. Just when you have given up, you get a mysterious message from, none other than, your wife Mia. You, eager to investigate, quickly find yourself in the Bayou, a swamp in Louisiana. You find and enter an old, abandoned house that you realize isn't as empty as you thought. Ethan fastly finds that everything isn't as it seems as he battles, escapes, and endures the puzzles and secrets in the Bakers vastly spanning estate. Will he survive, or just fall another victim to “The Family”.

    Gameplay
    Resident Evil 7 is being developed and published by Capcom, who released the game early 2017 on January 24. The game is currently $60 on PS4 and Xbox One. Resident Evil 7 is a first person Horror/action game that will have you with goosebumps through the entire experience and have you tense till the end. RE is available for the PSVR and will stay that way for a year before it is released for other VR systems. There are few buttons, and the ones there are, are easy to understand and you won't even have to think about which one opens the inventory (which in my opinion is very well designed).

    My Personal Experience
    Overall Resident Evil 7 is very well designed, especially the characters. The
    graphics are very well done and are quite possibly one of the game's best features. As a RE fan this game definitely brings back the horror of the old games, but this time in first person. The AI used in the game are the best in the gaming world so far. This newest installment of Resident Evil is riddled with new puzzles, secrets, and easter eggs.

    One problem I found is that there are not a lot of different enemies. They are often the same enemies, and yes there are bosses and mini-bosses, but I do not count those as “different” enemies. The main game only lasts about 5-6 hours, which is why you need to buy the DLC’s (downloadable content) to enjoy the full experience. The DLC’s however cost half as much as the game and only add a few things to the game! Also, not to spoil anything, but the ending is really cliché. This game is definitely worth the few extra bucks though and is great for anyone who wants a good old fashion horror game.

    This game is definitely for older teens or up, there is extreme violence, gore, and use of language. Looking past the cost and M rated title, this game is very fun to play, even for just a few hours, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Hands off to Capcom for giving us another good horror game.    … Expand

Overall this is a good game but I did find the second half of the game a little weak. 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.

I got more than expected and not in a good way. This game felt like a walking simulator most of the time with little to do but wander around trying to find something to do with *sigh* 'scary' noises or run away and when I find a press a button prompt within the household and several other places it's just to look at something in detail for no reason (I know certain items matter of course, but I'm talking about things like the pictures) so The Order 1886 comes to mind just a little less pointless stuff.

    The POV being 1st person was just frustrating. It's supposed to be scary because it's a complete blind spot I get it, but whenever you're in combat (not that it happens much) you have no idea on the speed or distance of an enemy since you can't see behind you a little like in 3rd person. It's also infuriating having attacks received that hit you and don't can be completely random judging from what you see.

    Something I do like though is Ethan's reactions to other boss characters comments since they are what I'd say exactly in that situation like a good ol' F U. Lastly I find myself puzzle as to why this is called Resident Evil/biohazard when it should be its own individual title considering how it is.    … Expand

    In fact, the whole review section of RE7 is just filled with lies. How can these "critics" sleep at night, knowing that they have given such misinformation to consumers? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

    This game is 6/10 at most and heres why its only that, without any fanboyism or bias added:
    -First of all, this game is not scary, unless you use VR and see the hideous face models of the NPCs up in your face, which seems to be their sole way of trying to scare you. This game is nothing compared to Outlast or even Alien: Isolation.
    -Its extremely scripted to the point that it destroys all replay value and its even less scary in future playthroughs, if for some reason you have nothing better to do...
    -There are only a few varieties of a single enemy type with just a few attack patterns. And also, you can just skip these said enemies all together by just running past them, removing all danger they pose as they become more of an annoyance than a threat after a while. They cant even go through doors for **** sake...
    -The item management is abysmal and taken too far, you will be spending more time playing Tetris with your inventory or backtracking to a safe house to throw your junk away, than being terrified. Like really?
    -The movement and gun play is slow and sluggish, and possibly made intentionally to not make VR users throw up. It almost feels like tank controls in first person...
    -Theres only a few boss fights and oh... my... god, that last boss fight is just terribad, never have i seen such a bad boss encounter. Its even worse than Ndesu in RE5 if you can believe it...
    -The graphics are above average at best, the level design is great due to the small areas but the textures on all the clutter can be downright fugly. Photorealistic like advertised? Nope.
    -The game is short, clocking from 5-8 hours on the first run, and the two endings are so extremely similar to each other that theres NO point doing a replay, especially since everything is scripted. The game banks on you replaying its short story over and over and over again without any incentive for you to do so. Sure, Madhouse mode adds few changes in there, such as limited saves, but its still the same game in the core. And predictable.
    -The game is SP only, not even Co-op of any sort included.
    -This game has almost nothing to do with Resident Evil, its a VR tech demo with Resident Evil stamped on it. Kawata said they were going to go back to the "roots" of RE, well this is not it. Just because they slapped inventory management or herbs in there, doesnt make it a Resident Evil game.
    -And ofc... the DLC practices are **** as usual(Capcom man...), cutting up the game and serving it to us for 10€ a piece after a week is simply not acceptable, especially since the game is so short and desperately needed new modes or missions. These sort of game modes used to be given to us for free after beating the original game. Remember Mercenaries? Now thats called Nightmare except its worse than Mercenaries and it costs 10 bucks thank you very much! Corporate commander thanks you.

    Also as a side note... Wtf is up with the story? Its full of holes and loose ends near the end that make no sense and never get answered, almost like it was just pushed out quick to meet a deadline. Lets be real here, they are probably just saving all that for DLC because... more money?

    I could just go on and on and on, this game makes no sense on so many levels...

    Anyway... the game is not worth 60€$£ at all, at best it shouldve been 30-40. It almost feels like it was going to be 40 but the suits said "Oh yea its in VR...add another 20 in there", lets call it a... VR tax.
    Wait till its on sale and then get it when it has more content and value for your money.

    I get that RE fans have been waiting for a better RE game since 4... but this game is NOT the masterpiece some people make it out to be, its above average game at best. Dont trust those sources that tell you this game is anything above 7/10 because its not, those people let their fanboyism blind their judgement.
    Either that, or they just have insanely low standards and are just not trustworthy at all.

    If this review saves at least one persons hard earned money then iam happy, spend it on something you enjoy longer and has more bang for your buck than this mediocre Haunted House 7: The Item Management game.    … Expand

    From there everything just got worse. NOT at all scary - because it's ridiculously silly. I was hoping for an Alien Isolation, set in a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" type location. Wrong. Everything is so brutally on "rails" it takes away any fear because you can predict almost every scare moment. In Alien, you truly never knew when the damn creature would pop out - and if you died and went back to the exact same spot, it wouldn't appear a second time. Not here... here you got back and the same boring crap happens again and again.

    You try to do things "your way" but because the gameplay is so heavily scripted it won't allow you to move forward until you do it the way the game wants to you.

    I was in the garage with the old man when he jumped into the car and tried to run me down. I simply stood next to his door, stabbing and shooting him in the head, and he wouldn't die, but neither would I, because he couldn't get me. I could have stood there for 6 hours avoiding being hit by the car if I wanted, but after a few minutes I ended up shaking my head in disbelief and turning it off.

    Unfortunately the actual gameplay is very drab and gets repetitive fast. You spend all of your 8 hours (yeah, it's only an 8 hour game) wandering and avoiding the same blob-like enemies as you backtrack one too many times just to find a snippet of story. The Bakers are the more interesting enemies but they're just cliche hillbillies out to kill an outsider, so it's more laughable than scary. I would say the game has puzzles to mix it up but they honestly can't be called that. You only encounter a few and the answer is thrown in your face. What's the point of that? To see if my eyes are still functioning? Well maybe that makes sense because the scenery is always so ugly that you may go blind from staring at it for the duration of the game.

    Overall I'd say I'm pretty disappointed. This was not worth $60. Save yourself some time and download something off of Steam if you want a decent horror game that might actually scare you.    … Expand

RE7 manages to capture the key elements that made the originals such monumental classics, albeit in a much less cheesy and more modern fashion. The first person view can be seen as an updated version of the original's forced perspective, keeping whatever lurks around the corner hidden until it rears it's (very) ugly head. The bulk of the gameplay is very similar to the original Resident Evil; confronting or avoiding enemies, collecting keys and other items to unlock rooms and doors, as well as collecting documents to uncover more of the backstory behind the decrepit Baker Estate. However, RE7 doesn't just copy and paste what made it's predecessors a success, it makes them it's own by adding a new spin, replacing some documents with interactive video tapes that often reveal key details of what you need to do at certain points in the game, and then there are the Bakers themselves which function like an updated version of Nemesis from Resident Evil 3, they can be momentarily knocked out, but for the most part that can't be killed. 'That gun ain't gonna work they way you think it will'.

    Still, RE7 is not without it's flaws. The boss battles, while spectacular and engaging at first, can often get annoying when you have to repeat them multiple times until you figure out the trick to besting the enemy, and while the Bakers are very well designed in how they act/re-act, the lesser enemies in the game feel stupid by comparison, often letting you run straight past them, making them virtually harmless unless you get yourself cornered or play on the madhouse difficulty which is generally unlocked post-game unless you nabbed the pre-order bonus survival kit which unlocks the increased difficulty early.

    Overall, Resident Evil 7 is a phenomenal horror game and, even better, a fantastic Resident Evil game, which is something that we have been waiting for in the mainline series for quite some time. While RE4 and 5 were fantastic action/horror games in their own right, they lacked the heart and soul of the original core games that made them such a hit with the original fans that have stuck around since the 90s. I sincerely hope that Capcom uses RE7 as a mold (no pun intended) for future installments of the series, perhaps continuing the RE4/5 style of gameplay within the Revelations sub-series because, lets be honest, the co-op in RE5 and Revelations 2 was bloody fun! RE6 even had it's moments.

    Please, do not listen to the reviews giving this game obnoxiously low scores, because I guarantee that more than half of them have not played the game. Look up gameplay (but not too much, the mystery is half the fun!) and listen to people that you know for a fact have played the game, and then make the choice for yourself.    … Expand

    There is no psychological aspect of the story, no clever symbolism, no eerie atmosphere, and no memorable characters. There is only pointless struggle with enemies that are invulnerable until the plot says otherwise, everything is scripted and linear, and all the "difficulty" comes from clumsy tank-like gamepad controls that are defacto standard for console FPS games. You cannot properly aim with the gamepad, but if you opt for the mouse, it only mimics gamepad analog sticks, so you get a molasses-slow aiming with tons of lag as a bonus.

    If you like heaps of innards, livers, lungs, blood, cheap sadism and jumpscare scenes, then by all means go for it and buy the game. It's one of the few titles that made me physically nauseated, which is an unique achievement.

    If you seek something like Evil Dead or Silent Hill, stay away, this game is as brainless as its characters.    … Expand

    RE 7 veio com a proposta de voltar as raizes com o horror ... Contudo aqueles chefes são tudo menos assustadores ... eles brincam com você o tempo inteiro e tiram quase toda a tensão do jogo .... Fora que o protagonista é digno dos filmes da Alice e de todas as maluquices dos jogos anteriores ... Voltar as raizes nem sempre significa ser bom

    These are the types of reviews that can cause you to believe developers are paying "video game critics" for high scores. So the VR is bad, the bosses are bad and it's only 10-12 hours first play through. This game plays painfully mediocre, doesn't look nearly as good as something like Final Fantasy XV and it's kind of boring.

    Resident Evil 7 is boring game, unfortunately. And I had super strong motion sick because of bad camera motion.
    VR helps this game as something "new experience". But other VR games provide better experience.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I rarely write on any site, but I'm so upset about this game! This has nothing to do with the other games at all. None of the characters, etc. And we've seen this plot before as in Texas Chainsaw Massacre! What does this game have to do with RE at all? This is the first time i've ever wanted a refund on a game. Truly dissappointed. All the real RE fans deserve a real game that embodies the franchise that made us loyal and love it in the first place.… Expand

    Not very fun, pretty repetitive, about 6 - 8 hours of game-play yet a 60 buck price tag. I don't know, I'm not wowed. Graphics are good, but other then that the story is bland and predictable, but somehow doesn't really explain the little things. Like I said, I'm not wowed. If you want to kill the same enemy 50 times, and do the most scripted "boss fights" you've ever seen, give this a try.

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.

    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.

    The boss battles are same old RE, find the weak point and shoot, its the grunt enemies, the things that serve as nothing more than an obstacle between boss fights, they are we the game really starts to show its true colors. The enemies are so boring, so generic with such poor AI and lack of variety you start to notice the same problems with pretty much every other aspect of the game.
    Whilst a massive step in the right direction after the abomination that was RE6, its still not the reboot the dead franchise so desperately needed. Operation Racoon City anyone?

Most criticisms are towards the plot, which is a little over-elaborate for a game that is at its best, when its at its most subtle, yet the plot at least provides some gratifying moments.

    The main issue is that the game loses its footing, feeling rushed and poorly designed in the later stages. For a short game, that personally offers little replay value, I'm frustrated by these weaker sequences, which are unforgiveable for the game's price and short length. The clearest representation of the game's decline in quality, are the boss fights, which initially feel uniquely real, get laughably bad by the end. There are also a lot of little issues which constantly dissipated any tension, such as doors closing without an animation (something I'm now used to seeing in games), or scary bits always being presented as cut scene. These make it feel less of an immersive and personal experience.    … Expand

    VR is how most games are going to want to play this game, as long as they are not prone to motion sickness. The VR aspect of RE7 is done much better and with better options then Regular PSVR games.
    I mean this is no Silent Hill 2, a master piece. Neither is it like RE2, RE3 Nemesis, or Code Veronica.

    This is an awesome horror game. First person perspective horror / puzzle / action game with a story that comes together as you progressed. The music, the settings, the atmosphere all ties together for a horror experience.

The first was B-grade entertaining, the second two were C-grade but with Milla Jovavich (so, C+?). Anyway, where I'm going with this is the thing those all had in common was Raccoon City, the evil corporation and their experiments (the horror is man-made), cheesy over-the-top characters. This game is not of that universe. So I can see where some folks are upset with a bait-and-switch.

    Now that the elephant in the room has been acknowledged, this is a pretty decent game and certainly a good VR one. It's touch to play for more than 30 - 60 minutes in the helmet though. Horror + VR definitely = motion barf. The play is fluid and fairly intuitive if limited in interaction. The graphics are touted as photorealistic. I would argue the lighting is, but sacrifices were made for CR and fluid motion - 3D models are less-refined and textures are large. The developers did a good job with the palette they had under the circumstances and so it's pretty easy to let your critical eyes and focus loosen a bit and feel more in a film.

    The scares so far are mostly jump scares with a lot of grim surrounding and tense mucking about. It definitely has more of an Amnesiac/Outlast/Blair Witch vibe to it, as a number of other reviewers have pointed out. The voice acting is just good enough to make you wish it wasn't bad. That is, it's bad. You'll wish it had been laughably bad though because it tries. Earnestly at times, it really does. But it's like a singer who just can't quite get that one note.... or twelve.

    Overall - 7 or 8 out of 10. Pretty on the eyes. Messes with your head. Short for a TV game, but long for a VR one. Pick it up at full price only if you have the VR headse. Otherwise wait for a sale unless you're a die-hard fan of the genre. Get Outlast to bide your time.t    … Expand

    Una de las cosas que más choca es el viraje extremo de la visión en tercera persona de siempre a la visión en primera persona, a la que muchos no estamos 100% acostumbrados y que elimina de un plumazo algo que distinguía a todas las entregas de la saga: poder ver a tu personaje y observar su comportamiento, su estado físico, etc. Eso se ha perdido por completo y ahora estamos ante uno más de esa incesante oleada de títulos first person que nos ahogan desde hace años.

    Gráficamente es normalito, no estamos ante ninguna maravilla tecnológica, puesto que hay que tener en cuenta que se ha debido limitar gráficamente para adaptarlo al uso del Playstation VR.

    El sonido es algo de lo más normalito en este tipo de juegos, centrado en ofrecer ambientación, tensión y susto fácil para los que caigan en eso.

    Una cosa buena que tiene es el regreso de los puzzles desafiantes, algo que se echaba de menos en entregas anteriores centradas más en la acción (para desgracia de muchos), pero no es lo suficientemente importante para aportar luz a este desastre.

    Es un juego para jugar como curiosidad, medianamente disfrutable, pero que es superado ampliamente por los originales a los que copia. Alien Isolation, por ejemplo, juego del que coge muchísimos elementos ambientales, te hace sentir muchísima más angustia que este título.

    Fail en toda regla para lo que podía haber sido el regreso triunfal de la saga, una oportunidad perdida por parte de Capcom que fulmina la saga con un título que no tiene nada que ver con los anteriores salvo por pequeños retazos y que dejan entrever que la compañía nipona está más por el dinero fácil que por el contentar a los seguidores de esta prolífica saga.    … 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.
