Resident Evil is a return to form, a return to the survival horror formular and an update to first person that was so needed, infact that is the best thing about Resident Evil 7 is its first person view, everything else is secondary to that but still amazing. Imagine being in a RE game, it's as close as it gets and it is terrifying, this game is pure gold. Well done Capcom you finally listened to the real RE fans.… Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is a return to form after the utterly terrible Resi 6. The move to a first person perspective works very well and immerses you even more in the Resi universe.

    Graphics are fantastic. Every room and environment is detailed. The mansion and houses all have a unique feel and look gritty and horrifying. The game-play is similar to the early games and rewards exploration. The    Resident Evil 7 is a return to form after the utterly terrible Resi 6.

The game-play is similar to the early games and rewards exploration. The story is good although not mind-blowing it still has an interesting narrative that will satisfy until the end of game.

    The VHS levels are a unique twist and offer some variation in game-play. 'Happy Birthday' is the stand out tape and reminds me of the film SAW.

    Sound and music help to create the atmosphere well. With more sinister tracks playing when you about to encounter something dreadful and the traditional calming track when you finally find that safe room!

    Combat works well and the bosses you encounter are all varied and interesting.

    I preferred the first part of the game been staled around the mansion by the Baker family, this part of the game reminded me a lot of Texas Chainsaw The fear is much more intense knowing you cant kill any of the grotesque Baker family until you enter their boss arena. The other enemy type are The Molded, beasts that look like they are made of dripping black mold or tar. At first they are scary but after slaying a few they lose their impact. There are variations of them but a few more monster types would have kept the game fresh all the way through.

    Two DLCs are out at the time of writing. Normally when you beat a resident evil you get a survival mode, in this case you have to pay extra for it which is a little annoying. I've yet to play them so they wont affect my score.

    I would recommend Resident Evil 7 to past fans and new players. The game is a little short and not overly challenging but more than makes up for it with atmosphere, game-play and some stunning graphics. I really enjoyed playing and will certainly give it another play through when I have a VR headset.    … Expand

    What an awful entry in a good series. Frankly, the story of Ed Gein and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre never appealed to me and that is exactly what this game has regurgitated. I find this a useless, disgusting and sad commentary on the gaming industry. Is this the best we can do? Apparently it is and that is pathetic. I strongly suggest not wasting money on this garbage.

    I find the bakers uninspiring and their junkie house not very impressive to look at. I miss the extravagant opulent look of the various scenes of the early series. Fighting the bakers is so boring and frustrating. You have limited ammo and you shoot round after round after round into them only for them to regenerate and show up again later. Where are the zombies? I loved fighting zombies in resident evil. I love the whole ambience of hearing them slowly walking around the corner and moaning in anticipation of the up and coming encounter. Why do you have to mess with a perfect legacy for the sake of changing it up?

    Well another first for me. I just deleted my saved data and all of the game data after playing for only four hours. I just got randomly waylaid by Mr. Baker again. Of course fighting him is an exercise of futility since you can’t kill him and your only recourse is to run away. It’s not even horrifying especially when he makes stupid comments while he fights you.    … Expand

    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

    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

    It seems to want to try to be both a survival horror game and an action horror game and fails horribly at being either.

If you want to be a survival horror game, you need to be able to maneuver around and avoid enemies, and you also need to have a proper stealth system that allows you to hide. This game does not have a stealth system and it takes place almost entirely in tight corridors that allow for no room to maneuver around enemies, and you also move about as quickly as Stephen Hawking on a unicycle, so clearly the game isn't made for this type of play. Perhaps you're supposed to shoot your way through them like the normal Resident Evil fare?

    Not so. Your guns do next to no damage, you have a very small amount of ammunition and you die in two hits. The aiming is wonky and enemies move around so much that it's basically impossible to hit with any kind of precision. So clearly the game wasn't designed to be played this way, either.

    Maybe it's a mix of both? Unfortunately, you need to be at least decent at either of these methods of gameplay in order to achieve that, and this game is absolute garbage at both, so unfortunately no. In conclusion, this game is hot garbage as a survival horror game, an action horror game, and just a game in general. It's not good at all and I'm appalled that so many people praise this. I was expecting to have a nice time as a horror game aficionado, but I deleted the game after the first generic enemy because I died 15 times to it and I couldn't run away from it because it was in a 2 foot wide corridor and even if I did get past it, there were two others in the next room that cornered me. Do not waste your money on this game like I did. I'm glad I got it on sale and not for the full price, though I wouldn't play this game even if it were free.    … Expand

The visual jump scares seldom feel cheap in part due to the masterful sound design. Making people jump isn’t a difficult task. However, making people terrified to progress the plot is a daunting task to pull off. Resident Evil 7 absolutely succeeds in pulling off what developer/publisher Capcom set out to accomplish. After the failure of RE6, the need for the series to return to the survival horror genre became clear. Horror is all about maintaining an atmosphere. Walking down a corridor, Ethan Winter (the surrogate for the player) might hear some variety of crash off in the next room or in the room above. The mansion is lived in (a slightly inaccurate phrase) and a sense of foreboding never escapes the player except for around the ending. The sound design mixed in with phenomenal limited lighting merge in encouraging the player never be overconfident in a given environment. Unlike previous entries, the locations are realistically scaled down. The Baker homestead never features a room or ground that feels out of place. In other words, the property is very much one might find in reality. Conversely, the game’s need to feature a puzzle at every turn suspends belief every once in awhile. In the end, the limited environmental scope aids in augmenting the horror. The developers painstakingly created the home to a disturbing degree. Every nook and cranny of the home serve a purpose in telling the Baker family’s story. The player is rewarded at great cost for exploring the environment. In addition, the exploration feeds into a very enjoyable item management system. All of the items encountered are useful. In order to make backpack space, the player has to really decide what is the most useful item in a given situation. Looking through your inventory doesn’t stop the game time. You could be looking at the very low ammo of a given gun and suddenly come under attack. In most fights, the best solution is often to run away until a more advantageous moment. The narrative lasts little more than ten hours. The duration of the experience ensures the plot never drags or overstays its welcome. The mysteries of the circumstances surrounding Ethan Walker are more than enough to ensure the player fights their fear. The player won’t be able to stop themselves from enjoying their twisted adventure with the Baker family.… Expand

From there the game is filled to the brim with the horror elements that the series was once known for. The switch to first person was a great idea as well. The limited mobility and the limited vision from the first person perspective is a very nice touch and makes things even more scary.
    There are a few negatives though. Without any spoilers, there are some loose ends within the story that were never fully explored and the enemies start to become very repetitive, to the point where they start to lose their scary touch towards the end of the game after having seen them so many times. Also the puzzles are beyond pathetic. For a series that was once known for their puzzles, this game really dropped the ball in that department for some reason.
    RE 7 is hopefully a good sign from Capcom that the series is going back to its roots. After the shift in tone from RE 5 and 6, and the terrible arcadey action from RE 6, it's nice to see that Capcom gets it with at least one of their franchises and works to fix the problems after enough backlash. Can't say the same for all of their franchises but this will do for now.    … Expand

Yes, I understand it is a horror game which needs to be scary and difficult. But lack of balance difficulty.… Expand

    In some ways Resident Evil 7 brings the series back down to earth and back to its roots, and yet in others it is even more fantastical than the last entry. Thankfully, one thing it does well is craft more believable and entertaining boss fights and encounters. Every enemy seems thought out rather than hastily thrown at you like Resident Evil 6 was wont to do. The Bakers and the other more powerful adversaries each come with their own specific methodology to battle, although a much more prepared player can potentially blitz their way through earlier encounters with sheer firepower and determination. Action is still a large part of the game, but it has taken a step towards being more cinematic so that the bulk of the experience can be returned to its horror roots. It makes for a better and overall more enjoyable and tenser experience to be sure. The gunplay and most melee moments are handled quite well although there are some unexpected hiccups here and there specifically where reactionary movement is concerned with special weapons. On the whole however, the first person perspective increases the enjoyability of the well-oiled combat both aesthetically and physically.

    All things considered, Resident Evil 7 is the return to form that the series needed even if it ultimately doesn’t change things up quite as much as it probably could or should’ve. It is by no means Resident Evil 4, but then that isn’t necessarily a bad thing either. It stands largely on its own although there are still obvious and subtle connections to the rest of the series, making it a tad clearer than expected as to just how it fits in with the other titles. The expansion of the universe and video game lore is welcome and for a series that constantly retcons its own ideas and even who’s alive and who’s dead, it largely adds onto the Resident Evil fiction without taking anything else away in turn. Given the chance, whether you’re a newcomer to the series or a longstanding fan, you should give the game a chance- it’s as good a jumping on point as any, especially given the lack of need to know information considering past titles.

    Concept: Reinvent the Resident Evil series as we know it, adding a breath of freshness to a series that has otherwise begun to grow stale over the years. Introduce new characters, a new plot, and new gimmicks along the way.

    Graphics: Particularly great animation and environmental work adds ambiance and aesthetic thrills to the tense adventure. Add in the fact that limbs are lopped off and gore is always present and you have a graphically sound and impressive piece of work.

    Sound: There is often little to no sound and yet that works in a genre such as this. When there is something to be said or done, the voice acting is about on par with most triple-A titles and doesn’t disappoint. The minimalist soundtrack ratchets the tension at all the right times as well.

    Playability: Exploration and tense combat are given their equal due and are the largest elements in play throughout the game. It handles well for the entirety of the campaign and is an incredibly well-played experience to boot.

    Entertainment: Most of the entertainment can be derived from the expansion of the lore and in-game details strewn about the world. Making subtle and not-so subtle connections to the other games in the series is what Capcom often does best and it works here better than it probably ever has before. In an experience that could’ve been largely standalone, Capcom unites Resident Evil 7 with previous titles in thrilling and interesting ways.

    Replay Value: Moderately High.

    Overall Score: 8.0    … Expand

    One of the best VR games available. RE4 was a great shooter but RE7 goes back to the roots and is an awesome creepy horror experience playing in several houses located on the same property. The full game is in VR and so if you have the VR headset you shouldn't miss this one.

I was hooked to uncover more of the mysteries as I progressed within the Baker's House. The ending does not end with a cliffhanger which is a very good thing these time.... The gameplay is amazing. Be aware this is not a shooting fest, but the combat is so satisfying, I like to search every inches of the house to find ammo and healing supplies. I like the fact that you need to back track to old areas to unlock new rooms. If you like the survival horror genre this game is not to be missed.

    There are moments in our gaming lives that stick with us. I guess it's sort of akin to how they describe your life flashing before your eyes...glimpses of highlights. Well, when I think back to monumental moments in my years of enjoying video games, this will undoubtedly be one of the few.

    Ted Baker is chasing me, and as I feel the adrenaline coursing through me, I'm actually turning my head and looking back while running away. I'm hiding in a hallway, and I lean out to peek around the corner, making sure the coast is clear. I look down and over my shoulder as I'm descending a ladder into a pit of hell. I'm actually trapped in that godforsaken mansion in the bayou.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was not thrilled by RE7.
    The series took a turn from the classic 3rd person view to a 1st person, usually associated with other horror games (and shooters, of course). The story is a rather personal one, and we do not get the usual big game tragedies we have come to expect from Resident Evil Games ever since the 1st one. I cannot complain that this is a bad game; however, I am not sure that it is a Resident Evil game: aside from a few facts (not mentioned to avoid major spoilers) and scenes that could had been left out without substantial change to the game or, to be more accurate, were included for no apparent reason other than branding it Resident Evil, there is literally nothing that justifies this game being launched under this franchise. I understand that many people may not consider this important if they are enjoying the game, but managing expectations is also justifiable: if one buys NBA 2017 and ends up with a baseball game, maybe they will enjoy it very much... but that's not what they wanted to buy.
    Of course, one should always read reviews etc before buying, however I am not sure that the reviews can adequately explain how different this game is: it needs to be played in order to be felt.
    Aside from this most obvious criticism, I was not thrilled by RE7; although it has its moments, it also has its flaws: in my opinion, the boss fights are appalling! tThey do not convey any feeling of horror nor any feeling of achievement once they are completed, but merely serve as vehicles to move on to the next level, which by the way takes mostly place in the same locations. So, all in all, I think this is an entertaining and well-made game, but not anything special. I have higher expectations from the company that once gave us RE4, easily one of the best games of all time, and I hope that their next release will focus on recreating the feeling of being lost in a creepy world of horrors, terrible monsters and ridiculously outrageous conspiracies to destroy mankind, and not just in some old farmhouse with a monster family that doesn't right out kill you for any other reason aside from letting you play the game...
    Overall, this is nothing more than an above average survival horror game.    … Expand

I really felt like it was the perfect horror game experience. Play this game alone at night with either headphones or surround sound cranked up and you will be jumping out of your seat. It does a great job drawing inspiration from various horror movie styles, and balances some excellent in your face jump scares with the slow burning tension of subtle creaks and groans. Being that this title is more like the early resident evils the gameplay is more in the scouring of items, inventory management and exploration through expository story telling and puzzles than the actual combat. This is no gameplay tour de force like Resident Evil 4, If you go in expecting that you will be disapointed. It is clunky and slow paced on purpose. But what it does it does really well, namely drawing you into exploration and scaring your pants off. I felt the game had a perfect length as well, and some minor incentives to jump back in for a second play-through. All in all in my opinion exactly what the franchise needed.

It's also excellent to see a shift from the hollywood blockbuster direction the series had been going in to something more immersive and gripping.
    It does lose some tension towards the end as the action shifts from the house to other areas and there is an increase in the number of black monsters. The final boss was also quite dull, it's essentially just a cutscene.

    First of all I want to start this review saying: My favorite RE game is RE4 by far. So no, i'm not one of those fans who were always complaining about the new games getting away from their "origins". In fact, I hated those comments. So, when this demo was announced and the first person camera was introduced I was SO disappointed. I really wanted something that looked more like RE4. I almost thought about not buying the game. Being a fan of this franchise for more tan 10 years though I just said **** it" and I bought the damn game. And WOW was that one of the best choices I've made. This game has to be one of the best, if not THE best RE game I have ever played. It is nothing like Alien Isolation or OUTLAST like everyone is ranting about. It is SO much better in my opinion.
    Things I loved in the Game:
    1) Weapon Variation: It's not only the fact that there are many weapons, but that you get them in momentous ways.
    2) Sound: Simply beautiful in general. God you'll spend at least 13+ hours of extreme suspense in this game.
    3) Voice Acting: Impeccable.
    4) The introduction of Antique coins: Very clever.
    5) Puzzles: Finally puzzles that actually make you think. (Now with the DLC's Bedroom I am even more impressed in this aspect of the game).
    6) Story: Extremely fluent and intriguing.
    7) Characters: The introduction of new characters was something the franchise needed to avoid a repetitive feel in the game. Relax, I obviously I missed the iconic one and only Chris and his 300 pound arms and Leon with his hair and all but it was about time Capcom introduced in some fresh faces.
    8) Upgrades: You can upgrade things about your character.
    9) They have MUCH more content coming and i'm still excited!

    What could have been better:
    1) Longer story
    2) Just two or three new enemies (for the ship part at least).
    3) Upgradable weapons (I simply love this aspect of upgrading your character in games).

    In all, buy the game guys. Well spent $90 for me (I obviously bought the Season Pass after finishing the game. I WANT MORE).    … Expand

    Resident Evil 7 is an amazing horror game that restored my faith in not only Resident Evil, but Capcom as well. I think this game is on par with Resident Evil HD in terms of atmosphere.

I think this game is on par with Resident Evil HD in terms of atmosphere. In my opinion, the original mansion has never been topped, but this game’s atmosphere is almost as good, if not just as good. I’d argue that Resident Evil 7 also has the best boss fights in the entire series. You get to know Jack and Marguerite Baker before you fight them and that makes their fights much more interesting. They actually have conversations with you during the fight and it just adds to the already insanely fun fights. The boss fights are much better than generic bosses like a giant snake or shark from previous entries. I was always open to the idea of Resident Evil in first-person, but I never thought that I’d prefer it over third-person. The safe rooms also make a return for the first time since Resident Evil and the inventory boxes also make a return which made me very happy. If you’re someone who loved Resident Evil and quit playing after Resident Evil 4 because the series was going downhill, I can definitely recommend this game to you as it returns to the roots of Resident Evil while controlling like a first-person shooter. I can’t wait to see the future of Resident Evil as this game is one of my favorites of all time now and my second favorite entry in the series so far.… Expand

    One of the best games in the franchise. The developers clearly watched Evil Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre before they started work on it.

    It's exactly RE. RE was built on the idea of resource management and horror. Boil it down, that's all it is. It was the first to do it, maybe not technically, but it's the game that mattered. The first RE was also supposed to be first person. RE7 explores, has resource management, horror, puzzles, backtracking, mystery, and first person.

    This game is fantastic! In addition to being nostalgic, bringing elements of old games that we keep in the heart, it is also innovative (for the franchise) behind new elements and new airs. Resident Evil was deserving a game as well done as this. The graphics, the audio, everything is so beautiful that you can see the good commitment of capcom to this game.

    Very disappointing game - too short, NO FRICKIN ENEMY VARIETY (molded are the most unimaginative, stupidest enemies I’ve ever fought), and really, really crappy end boss fight.

Also really hated how it was first person view - this keeps you from really getting to know the protagonist, and it seemed more like a gimmick to generate more PS VR consoles. Also, there is almost zero mention of previous titles in this game, like nothing about Raccoon City or anything resident evil - related. If this game didn’t have a title, very few people would even know this was a Resident Evil game! Also not a big fan of leaving 2 of the biggest boss battles as extra DLCs - they should have just included all this in the base game! Also, way too many stealth sections and those get old quick, and are not at all enjoyable. I’m glad Capcom got things right with the RE 2 remake - now that is a quality game! I enjoyed RE 6 waaay better than 7. This is a renter and nothing more.… Expand

The gameplay is great, it knows when you need it and when you use it, that is until you get to the boss fights though. The earlier chunk of it is good but as it goes on, you soon realize how easy and lifeless the bosses are in their final stages, they don't feel like a final challenge but rather a cutscene only for us to click and press just simple buttons. The reason for it is because of its story that contradicts in certain places that makes the game starting to fall apart, thus leading to a lackluster end. Despite its short length and contradictory pieces in its game, you still have a very thrilling game to experience firsthand.

    Following some missteps with the sixth entry of the series Resident Evil returns with a first person viewpoint and a slew of new horrors that both return to the heart of the franchise while also leaving iconic elements behind.

    Where this entry shines is within its tension and pace. A shift to first person elevates a sense of claustrophobia within the new setting.

    Where this entry shines is within its tension and pace. A shift to first person elevates a sense of claustrophobia within the new setting. The pace of the game is also excellent, driving the player forward in meaningful ways that continue the story as well as provide new environments to get lost in.

    As with previous entries, inventory management remains a key element; however, crafting leaves a lot to be desired. Small inventory creates frustrating challenges especially because scavenging is so important. Limited resources also lead to some difficult decisions in crafting, ultimately stifling creativity in approach to gameplay.

    Overall, the game shines but does read a bit like a play test with each chapter delving into a specific type of horror content ensuring no matter the audience a scare exists. While respectable and effective in all its efforts I did miss familiar creatures like the lickers and a tighter narrative that was not trying to be all things may have elevated this game to true top tier horror. If you are a Resident Evil virgin this entry would be a wonderful place to start however veterans to the series might miss some staple elements of the franchise.    … Expand
