    Dieses Spiel bringt den Survival-Horror zurück in das RE Universum. Das Gameplay und die Story des Spiels sind erschreckend gut und schockierend zugleich. Leider bleiben alle Figuren relativ oberflächlich (8/10).

    RE7 represents the point of rebirth of this incredible saga that was waning after chapters that were destroying it.

    I was scared for 3 weeks after that :) In the end the too much weapon made me calm and i wasnt scared that much. With a fewer enemy and weapon this game could be the best horror game.

    Truly a terrifying and yet fun game, the tragic story of the Bakers is truly a story worth playing. The story almost feels like a puzzle at times with trying to link the dlc and the main story together. If you're looking for a good scare or two with a great story, then this is the game for you.

    Don't listen the people who didn't even played the game and came just to hate. RE 7 is no walk simulator, and no P.t clone. RE 7 is an horror game with action just like every classical RE, with a real Survival Horror mechanics and feel to it.

    Gone are the QTE, corridor shooter and boring action. RE 7 brought back the sense of mystery and dread , exploration and overall feel of the original game. I may being repetitive, but I don't want to spoiler the game, I think every Resident Evil fan deserve to discovery how this game bring back the sensation and awe that Resident Evil brought in 96.

    RE 7 is a masterpiece, it bring back the original feel and moves the series further into the survival horror genre. I really looking forward for RE 8.

    After all said and done, 7 maybe is the best Resident Evil ever, or a close runner up for the original RE.

    If you are a fan, forget the haters, forget the hate and prejudice and give it a try, I assure you it really worth.

    Resident Evil 7 is a return to the horror genre from the survival action games that the previous three games had been.

    Resident Evil 7 is a return to the horror genre from the survival action games that the previous three games had been. Presented in a first person perspective, you play as Ethan, a man who is trying to find his missing wife, who sent him a mysterious message, first telling him not to look for her, then where to find her.

    The game starts off very promising – the house is suitably creepy, and when you run into the Baker family for the first time, they’re proper horror game enemies. Completely impossible to kill, they are implacable and unstoppable, and all you can do is slow them down and then run and hide. Horrible things happen to the main character, and there is something fundamentally wrong with his wife, Mia. Zoe, who seems to be related to the Bakers in some way, helps you out over the phone, and the whole thing seems to be unfolding rather nicely, as you try to explore a house while being stalked by a man who can’t be stopped and can’t be killed.

    There are even boss fights against these enemies, where you use powerful environmental objects to seemingly cause them severe damage and even “kill” them, but just minutes later they pop back up again and start throwing you around.

    The problem is, the game has to move on, and after that point, the game stops really working.

    The reason for this is fairly simple – when you’re early on in the game, you are weak and helpless. The house is creepy, the enemies are implacable, and you don’t know what’s going on. The few “lesser” enemies you face are really tough to take down and take a ton of shots from the pistol to the head to kill.

    To finally break out of the house, you get a shotgun and you manage to take down one of the Bakers before you break out. The fight is suitably dramatic – after multiple prior encounters where no matter what you did, your foe kept on coming back, here, you can finally do a good number on him, and there isn’t the same sense that he’s just going to pop back up again.

    But at this point, the Bakers are no longer invulnerable, and you are better armed and can actually meaningfully fight back. And this pretty much makes the game fall apart, because now, you know what’s going to happen – you’re going to creep around for a bit, there’s going to be a boss fight, and you’re going to kill them, and then they’ll come back and you’ll kill them again.

    So what was originally a really cool horror game turns into a more action oriented game. The enemies are still not something you want to waste ammo on, but the fact that you know you CAN just take them down makes them feel a lot less menacing – something that stays until a brief section towards the end of the game, where you are temporarily disarmed again (well, sort of. It’s complicated). The feeling of helplessness is gone.

    Worse, after searching the first house, the next two areas just feel like rehashes, where you’re just going up against a different member of the Baker family. The third area does mix up the formula a bit, but it still ends up following the same structure, which makes the game feel too predictable, which undermines the horror.

    And frankly, the other two members of the Baker family just aren’t as good at being intimidating as Jack is.

    The result is something like letting air out of a balloon, as the game feels like it just gradually deflates, transitioning more and more into a FPS game as enemies become less and less of a threat – but it still feels a bit janky, because it was originally a horror game.

    All in all, by the end of it, I was armed to the gills and ready for anything, and while this served as a bit of catharsis, it ultimately felt like the game was too long even at only 10 hours in length.

    It doesn’t help that the protagonists of the game – Ethan and his wife, Mia – are frankly not very interesting characters. Ethan feels kind of generic, and often seems to be kind of useless, and Mia’s character is very vaguely defined for most of the game, until you get to nearly the end of it. And while Jack Baker is a cool foe, the other two members of the family aren’t as interesting, even if a late-game twist tries to fix that.

    So what are my overall feelings on this game?

    On the one hand, the start of the game was really good, and delivered the horror, “don’t get caught” feel very well. On the other hand, the game just kind of goes downhill after you escape the first “real” area of the game.

    So I’m not sure I can really recommend this. It was interesting to play through for a bit, but at the end, I wasn’t terribly invested.

    My review has two parts: VR Review & Game Review.

    Let's start with the VR review: Playing this in VR was one of the most impressive and most fun gaming experiences I've ever had, bar none. Experiencing survival horror in PSVR gave me the same mindbending sensation that playing the original RE on PlayStation 1 gave me in the 1990s. After turning off all the comfort restrictions and letting myself fully loose in the VR mode, I was blown away by how immersive, moody and scary - not to mention intuitive - it felt to play the game in VR. Shooting at enemies using head tracking and navigating dark hallways with tense muscles never felt better. From the control scheme to the pop-up menus, everything just works unexpectedly smoothly for a first generation VR game. The folks at Capcom have done a great service to the medium of VR games by showing that it can be done without compromises. Sure, the resolution of the PSVR is noticeably inferior to a 1080p, let alone a 4K TV, so the image quality suffers. I wasn't bothered by that all that much. It is more than compensated for by the high framerate and the ability to have terrifying encounters with demonic enemies at close range. There aren't many full-length VR games out there, so RE7 doesn't have much competition, but standing on its own merits, RE7 in VR is an uncompromised experience that can only be described by one word: EPIC. While the medium is still young, RE7 gives us an exciting and pioneering leap into the unknown future of video gaming.
    Survival horror redefined!

    GAME REVIEW: The game was originally marketed as something completely different, but make no mistake: RE7 happens to be a good, traditional Resident Evil game. It may not the pinnacle of the series, but its highs are some of the best in the entire series. The transition from third to first person was unexpected, but they achieved it very well. Nothing was compromised in the process. All the traditional gameplay mechanics of classic RE games are here, from herbs to locked doors. The cultish family was an inspired choice for a storyline and the dilapidated setting of the Louisiana mansion fits the franchise perfectly. On the negative side, it is quite short, and the last third of the game is rather weak. These drag down an otherwise stellar experience, but luckily not by much.

    Overall, as a RE game, I give it 8/10. The VR mode alone is 10/10. So, overall, a solid 9/10.

    It's a great exercise in game design, but terrible when it comes down to gameplay or replayability. The only positive improvement over the older titles I noticed was that the puzzles are a little bit more ambitious and are reminiscent of Escape Room games. But that’s pretty much it. Enemy designs are bland (probably the worst in the series), and it's no fun mowing any of them down.

While the game starts off strong with a kind of Evil Dead setting, it just has not much else to sustain that tedious premise. It’s one of those games that I had to force myself to finish, because of the lack of investment in the characters, story or gameplay. Expand

    Playing this in VR is without a doubt the scariest experience I've ever had in gaming or movies. Absolute game changer. Some of the horror scenes are impeccable, & almost trick your brain into thinking it's real. & then other times there's just a general smell of fear in the air.

    Survival seems to be much more of the focus this time (as opposed to action or horror), and that's fine with me. Gunplay is solid, exploration is interesting, and the story is alright.

    Unfortunately, this game is not scary and the environments were mostly dull. The only two that interested me were the ship and the birthday shed. The enemies were well designed and creepy, however.

    Been a resident Evil Fan since the first on PC way back in the 90s. Seen the franchise evolve. Seen the good and the bad come and go. After a long list of entries, main cannon and spinoffs. Resi 7 is thankfully one of the better entries of the whole series.

    Avoiding spoilers, the games first Act (the House and its grounds) and the very final section are the best (scariest as well)

    Avoiding spoilers, the games first Act (the House and its grounds) and the very final section are the best (scariest as well) parts. The level design, the puzzles and the quality of these parts are consistent, engaging and everything you expect from the survival horror genre.

    However there's some parts involving a boat and some salt mines which left a lot to be desired. Basically if you know nothing about the game going in you will reach a point when you think the ending is about to happen and then suddenly you given a few more sections of gameplay which can last several hours depending on the type of gamer you are. you would initially think this is great to have more "content" but the "short and sweet" approach would of been sufficient.

    Summary
    Positives
    + Engaging Story
    + Level design of the house - tense, atmospheric, well scripted.
    +excellent Visuals
    + One of the best VR experiences currently avail on PS4
    +some actual scary/tense moments
    + the Baker family - the most engaging, tragic, well designed virally infected foes see in a video game to date.

    - Short, but not at all a bad thing if done right. which only a small part let them down.
    - Repetitive boring basic enemies that spoil the game.
    - Not enough Baker Family going into the final Act.
    - Clunky controls at times (during combat)

    Overall a 8/10, it was better than expected - and in my opinion, offered a lot more content and quality over the likes of Outlast etc. its one of the better entries by far. Excellent bargain bin buy, if you can get it cheaper which as of writing this review you can.

    final P.S please give us a working next-gen remake of Resi Outbreak, such a great concept for its time but badly executed.

    I had low expectations and also annoyance towards Resident Evil 7, considering it to look like a chapter of the saga, regardless of the low points touched by RE 5 and 6, almost apocryphal and profane because of its first–person view concept. Flipping a coin, I lost and I had to buy the game and I'm happy because I got the chance to change my mind.

    I had low expectations and also annoyance towards Resident Evil 7, considering it to look like a chapter of the saga, regardless of the low points touched by RE 5 and 6, almost apocryphal and profane because of its first–person view concept. Flipping a coin, I lost and I had to buy the game and I'm happy because I got the chance to change my mind.

    The plot certainly starts with a good premise, does not lack memorable moments and twists. Jack Baker is certainly the most iconic character in the game, but the other Baker family members also find their place. Writing is nothing special, but it works well in leaving the memory of a convincing horror story both in dialogues and plot events.

    Resident Evil 7's gameplay achieve its target well. The first–person view is less alienating than expected to be in a Resident Evil game. There is a good variety of weapons, the firing feedback is discreet and the aiming system works properly. The game's inventory works very well: similar to the classic one, it's mostly clear and enjoyable in the selection of items and rarely chaotic in its management. Good idea to use chem fluids and strong chem fluids to create items and more powerful items. Puzzles require to use a little brain, but we are far from the first Resident Evil's great puzzles, so nothing really challenging. In–game exploration and recovery of resources is well done, it pushes the player in search and is worthy of a survival horror game. The horror component is good and the atmosphere built around the setting and gameplay is great, the game never makes the mistake of flowing into full action, no surprise since game director Nakanishi also directed Revelations, released in 2012. There are also post–game run extras typical of Resident Evil games and of an older idea of ​​making video games. Overall, it's a Resident Evil game at its core and soul. So what's wrong with the game? Well, boss battles are actually forgettable (I found the best one to be versus Marguerite). And to make them forgettable is also the combination of first–person view with the movement system: Ethan is too slow and woody in moving, turning, running and in combination with first–person view this is problematic, even more during boss battles. Also variety of enemies is actually not much. Speaking of "Madhouse" mode: it adds cassette tapes to get obtained and needed to save, great, but it should have been like that by default, also there is never a real shortage of tapes. However, I did not appreciate too radical changes to everything else in the mode: tougher enemies and weaker Ethan would have been enough, it wasn't needed to make enemies faster and more aggressive, which mostly unbalances the game too much.

    Technically speaking, the RE Engine is a great graphics engine. Not perfect, of course, but it gives the game remarkable visuals and competitive rendering on almost all levels. We know in 2020 that the graphics engine has made its way in other Capcom games. The sound component is no different, given the importance in a survival horror game.

    Resident Evil 7 was a gamble. A shocking, and even a bit desperate, attempt to renew and refresh a historical saga. I myself was highly skeptical but reviews, consensus and sales showed that Capcom was right. The result is a great game which lives on many strengths and obvious flaws, while remains a survival horror experience for both fans of the genre and fans of the saga.

    Unique and chilling story. 1st person perfectly fits here. For sure one of the best horror games ive ever played. Voice acting is on point. From start to finish it never gets boring.

    Resident Evil 7 is a step back from the previous work of ares of the classic series.

    Graphics: I'm playing on the PS4 Pro and I have to say they are really good, in fact scary good. Music and soundtrack: It's just creepy enough to set the mood. Though it would have been nice to have the classic save room music in at least one location as an easter egg. Gameplay: weapons don't feel

    Gameplay: weapons don't feel over powered. Also, I didn't have a ton of ammo to ever take on hordes of enemies but instead had to use my ammo carefully but I felt more powerful than other games like outlast meaning I could actually fight back!

    I like the atmosphere so much in this game. Some people didn't like it because it's a fps but it didn't bother me. It can be actually scary at times but I would say it's still reasonable. Cool puzzles. All bosses are different.

    Una obra maestra del survival horror, plagado de referencias del cine de terror clase b lo vuelve altamente disfrutable para cualquier fan del género.
    En cuanto a gameplay y mecánicas es sublime y se sigue sintiendo como un RE a su manera, no cabe ninguna duda que este soft reboot es la mejor decisión que ha tomado capcom para la serie

    Visually appealing. All other aspects of the game are just dull. Movement is too slow; events are too directed in a B movie way; all encounters are scripted and predictable.

    I want to preface this entry saying, my least favorite Movie/TV genre is horror. I do not like anything horror related because for me it falls into 2 categories. Either it’s not scary and its just a poorly made action movie or it disturbs me on a psychological level and then I’m not able to sleep at night. This game was the latter for me.

    This game made me more afraid than I have ever
    I want to preface this entry saying, my least favorite Movie/TV genre is horror. I do not like anything horror related because for me it falls into 2 categories. Either it’s not scary and its just a poorly made action movie or it disturbs me on a psychological level and then I’m not able to sleep at night. This game was the latter for me.

    This game made me more afraid than I have ever been in my entire life. It put me on edge almost immediately and I was on edge for a vast majority of this game. Its the perfect mixture of jump scares, psychological torment and low points that make are just long enough to make it so you start to feel safe. Once you start feeling just a little comfortable, bam! The game throws a curve ball.

    The game starts out with a perfect and classic horror trope. Its just enough to get you hooked and make you want to see a little bit more of the game. The game starts out with your wife (Mia) sending you a video message saying, how she loves you and she can’t wait to come home from her babysitting trip. Then the game cuts to another video that has her apologizing for lying and then her telling you to stay away. Then the game cuts again to a car and it’s you (the main character) driving and you’re on the phone with some other man. The Ethan (the main character) is talking about how Mia (your wife) just reached out and wants you to come get her. So now you’re on your way to someplace in Louisiana that is in the middle of nowhere. So within the first 2-3 minutes of the game, you’re wife wants to see you, doesn’t to see you and then wants to see you. Right off the bat, what is happening?

    You end up finding your wife fairly quickly but she’s not overly happy to see you which just adds to the confusion. This is when the game really starts to take the first step to being creepy and disturbing. Your wife is possessed and every other moment she switches from wanting to kill you to loving you. So right after that you’re hit over the head, knocked out and then you wake up at a dinner table with the Baker family. Who are the main antagonists in the game?

    I’m not going to go into any more specific detail than that. That’s all within probably the first half hour of the game so I don’t feel like I’m spoiling too much. The rest of the game, you have the simple goal of getting Mia and yourself out of that house. You do this by solving puzzles, avoiding the Baker family as best you can and going through these pointless boss battles. The boss battles are probably my biggest complaint about the game, you can’t kill the Baker family so they’re kind of pointless. Outside of the boss battles and just in the game itself, it’s very effective because you always feel weak against them.

    What made this game so scary for me is there is always the thought that something could pop out at any point. They set the tone of this game early on very well because of the tone of the music. At all times it made me feel uneasy and I never felt safe. Unless I was in a specific room which was a “safe” room where you could save your game file, it was peaceful music and no one in the baker family could enter that room. That room was my decompression room, anytime I started to panic and get nervous I would make a “B-Line” straight to one of those rooms which are scattered all across the map.

    The game itself is really split into 7 areas. There is a shack where the initially starts, the main house (where you wake up), an area called the “old house,” a “game area,” a boathouse, a wrecked ship and then a swampy salt mine. Probably 2/3rd’s of the game are in the old house and main house which is the scariest part of the game. The back third is really more of an action/third person shooter that’s a little creepy. What I also liked about the back third was the wrecked ship was the part of the game where almost everything gets answered. So the narrative part of the game had a been building up and presenting all of these questions that are revealed during that part.

    The game ends with a final boss that isn’t too difficult. If you like horror films and TV shows then this is a must play. There is something about a video game where you’re in control that really ramps up the horror. The fact that the game is in first person rather than third also makes it that much more stressful. This may sound odd but I am very proud of myself for finishing this game. It was very hard for me because it is so scary and so well done. I don’t think I will ever play another horror game but I’m happy I experienced this and powered through.

RE:Biohazard is the latest and one of the greatest survival horror games to be created. The story, atmosphere, and solid gameplay make for a unique experience. Personally, the dread and excitement I felt constantly bombarded my rationale; trying to find the best method to the madness in this game. The game gets a 11 of atmosphere. This is a well produced game and the visuals are a treat to adore. The game is approachable to casual gamers and veterans of the series. My only gripes is that VR is obviously the definite experience as its the first AAA title to be brilliant and enhanced by VR. I feel the developers sacrificed some depth into gameplay and complexities of the story. I dragged out my experience and beat the game in 10 hours but it does have replay value as its always exciting to return to the Baker family (the villains). This is a game you will want to try on VR someday and one you want everyone you know to try out to feel absolute horror.

    I love this game and the even the DLC, while lacking some depth and being somewhat of a rehash of some levels and game mechanics and a bit "arcadish", is STILL better than most in that it feeds my craving for more environments and insight into the world and its characters. I love this game and highly recommend it. I can't wait to see whats in store for Resident Evil 8, I'm anticipation is killing.

    Resident Evil 7 is an instant CLASSIC. A true Resident Evil game that strikes an incredible balance between what the series has been always known for and its imperative job to evolve, be new and fresh.

    Since the reveal of RE7, countless misperceptions have stumbled upon its way, from being an Outlast clone, to PT’s biggest fan. Capcom has maintained a strict marketing approach for RE7 making sure that nobody can expect and predict much of the game which eventually has favored RE7 in every aspect. You’re going to be so surprised of how much they’ve hidden and you will also realize how hilarious those Outlast/PT comparisons actually sound like.

    RE’s soul seeps through the walls of RE7; it stays true to its roots -- delicately re-introducing and invigorating the franchise that defined survival horror games for years to come. What RE7 does best is that it comes up with this amazing and refining formula of visualizing and catching the classical vibes of the old RE games and mixing them all up perfectly with new refreshing mechanics that will open up new horizons for the series.

    At its core, it’s a game that was built with effort, quality and passion. Everything about RE7 in terms of story, characters, enemies, atmosphere, environments, graphics, sound design, gameplay elements… etc, it all connects, mashes-up and intertwines incredibly and meaningfully well together in a way that just made me feel like this is one of the smartest, most beautifully done survival horror games I’ve played this generation.

    RE7 offers a fantastic and immersive experience that will make you hold on to your controller from beginning to end through a suspenseful new story, interesting characters, intense atmosphere, stunning details, insane sound design, great combat/gunplay, engaging item management, puzzles, exploration, backtracking and replayability.

    Pros:
    + Excellent storytelling and strong narrative
    + Playable flashbacks allowing for gameplay variety
    + Beautifully done and a well balanced RE/survival horror game
    + Sheer amount of visual fidelity and creepy presentation
    + Insane sound design with wonderful soundtracks
    + Engaging combat, gunplay, item management, puzzles, exploration and backtracking
    + Emergent game design; certain few scenarios vary depending on how you play
    + Good replay value
    + The DLCs are top tier

    Cons:
    - Last boss fight is underwhelming compared to the other ones

    Neutral:
    -/+ We may quibble over the lack of enemy variety in the game, but as I mentioned before, how everything (including the enemies) is presented and connected here hardly makes this a negative point in my opinion.

    9.5/10 - Resident Evil 7 is a masterpiece. A MUST BUY for every RE or a survival horror fan!

    With VR one of the best gaming experience there is. Unfortunately has basically nothing to do with the story of the old games and becomes a shooter by the second half of the game which makes no sense from my perspective. Story wise nothing special and it seems like there is only one type of monster in the game which reminds me of Resident Evil Revelations (except from the bosses).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointed with how short this game is. I expected it to be at least twice as long. Beside the bosses, there are only 3 types of enemies which is weak.

    Graphics are awesome. Storyline is ok. Controls are a deliberate handicap which was expected. Some bosses are a little too tough to beat and retrying over and over took the fun out of it for me. Final boss looks dumb and was too easy to beat.

    The story is pretty much a dude trying to save a wife from a crazy family and infected beings, and it was fun connecting all the story pieces together as I was playing the game. Graphics are stunning on T.V, and is a slight downgrade on PSVR (which I played the majority of the time). Besides the not so good looking opening scene (outside daylight), the acting, character models, and gross flesh all make the environment tense and dark--perfect.

    Aiming in VR is much better, being low on resources showed me true survival, enemies are pretty challenging to kill, and the boss fights are really memorable. The only missteps are some levels felt a bit complicated (maybe just cause I'm not that good) and dragged out when solving the puzzles or finding the right objects, and for PSVR, the floating hands and the fade in transitions took me out a bit on immersion.

    Overall, RE7 is a top tier VR game and a really good game even without that. It embodies what a true great survival horror game should be.

The atmosphere is top notch and the plot is very serious without any cheesy lines that were an integral part of all previous Resi games. I really loved the plot as it tells a very nice and serious story. The final third of the game is a bit boring compared to the fantastic first two parts. What I loved though and hats off to Capcom for that, is how they managed to make Resident Evil 7 a potpourri of the best components of all previous games: the atmosphere and tension of the first 3, the action packed-but still atmospheric style of 4 and Revelations and the omission of everything that 5 and 6 got wrong (I doubt there was anything right especially about 6 but anyway). Overall, kudos to Capcom and I hope this is the start of a new era for the Resident Evil brand. Expand

La historia se basa en un hombre que va a buscar a su esposa desaparecida, y se topa en una casa llena de horrores, donde la supervivencia es la prioridad definitiva, mientras es acechado por una familia con insaciable sed de sangre.

    Es imposible evitar las comparaciones de este juego con P. T Silent Hills (2014), tanto en dirección de cámara, como jugabilidad y la forma exitosa de crear suspenso... Aunque a mi parecer, RE7 lo supera en todos y cada uno de esos aspectos. Este juego esta diseñado para sumergir al jugador en un estado de estrés extremo. Hay escenas horrendas de tortura, mutilación y daño psicológico hacia nuestro protagonista. Y no hay nada que se pueda hacer para saltar dichas escenas.
    Se puede descubrir un largo historial de referencias a los demás juegos de la saga, y películas de terror de los 70s y 80s. Siendo una de las mas notorias `Evil Dead´ De hecho si este juego hubiera seguido su propio universo sin depender de la saga Resident Evil, habría pertenecido sin dudas a la franquicia `Chainsaw texas Massacre´ , las similitudes que tiene con dicha saga van mas allá de un simple guiño.

    La primera mitad del juego es una perfecta mezcla de Horror psicológico, Gore extremo, realismo y momentos perturbadores que son dignos de una calificación NC-17. Sin embargo la calidad del juego baja considerablemente cuando se convierte de repente en un producto común de la saga Resident Evil. Entonces, el drama psicológico con el que empezó esta entrega, termina convirtiéndose en un juego de Acción, Sci-Fi, y survial horror típico de la saga, una verdadera decepción que no hayan decidido concluir de la forma tan innovadora y excelente en la que iniciaron. Este tipo de giros pueden ser peligrosos ya que son los que arruinan juegos enteros, aunque por suerte, este no fue el caso en su totalidad.

    En resumen. Es un titulo plenamente dirigido hacia un publico adulto y a los fans del horror, el cual ofrece la oportunidad de vivir una experiencia en el mundo de Resident Evil, desde los ojos de la victima. Éste fácilmente habría sido el mejor juego de toda la saga, si hubieran mantenido un solo rumbo en la narrativa, dirección y decisiones de personajes. Su alto nivel de contenido sádico, inmoral y explicito deja a juegos como Manhunt en pañales. Único, visceral y gran homenaje al genero de horror extremo.

    A mixed bag of highs and lows. The actual game play was crap. It was slow, clumsy and glitch ridden at times. The atmosphere, story and characters generated loads of spooky creepy weird fun.

VR mode vs standard mode? Well standard mode the odd jump scare. VR mode screaming my head off multiple times!

    After trying several different VR games the motion sickness has finally gone. Still with all that plastic and rubber on the head? Head overheat happens pretty quicky. Yeah even when using a massive floor fan to try and counter it. Maybe I need to use PS/VR in the winter or something?

    Resident Evil 7 firmly re-asserts the franchise at the forefront of horror gaming after a couple of very disappointing games, taking inspiration from the fantastic Revelations handheld spin-offs and of course, the classic first installment. The game tries its best to scare you, unsettle you, panic you, and ultimately it is a thrilling experience, if a little brief. The brevity is forgiven,Resident Evil 7 firmly re-asserts the franchise at the forefront of horror gaming after a couple of very disappointing games, taking inspiration from the fantastic Revelations handheld spin-offs and of course, the classic first installment. The game tries its best to scare you, unsettle you, panic you, and ultimately it is a thrilling experience, if a little brief. The brevity is forgiven, as it definitely feels like this game is an experiment, to play around with new ideas and re-introduce old ones, as if setting the path for the future. And I loved it.

    Combat is classically Resident Evil - frantic, deliberately clunky, and punishing if you aren't concentrating. This is enhanced by the new first person viewpoint, piling on intensity to an already overbearing premise. Puzzles are fantastic, item management is a hark back to the old days, and the game progression is enjoyable. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous, in the most disgusting way, particularly the environments. The Baker mansion and subsequent areas are grimy, alive, horrific and claustrophobic. The sound design is also spot-on. Fighting bosses is where the game excels in these areas, as Jack relentlessly pursues you through the entire house, or Marguerite stalks you in the yard, leaving few places to hide and your heart in your throat. General enemies are very...general, and a bit bland. There isn't a big variety and fighting them becomes a bit stale by the end.

    The story is OK, and eventually does link back to the old games in a bit of a tenuous way. A lot is left unexplained but since this is a soft-reboot, this is fine. DLC will open this game up more, but it definitely feels like content is missing, especially in the latter half. The first few hours of this game are among the scariest, more engrossing in any game I've played, and I was genuinely shaking after reaching the first save point (which are few and far between). The game is shrouded in mystery, which I loved, and has enough twists to make it interesting. But overall, again, the length hurts it. Just where, for example, Resident Evil 4 is getting into the crux of the plot, this installment is rounding off. I kind of resent needing DLC to finish an experience, but I enjoyed this game and will likely get them.

    RE7 is a true return to form, getting rid of ridiculous action-horror and stripping everything back to create a raw, traumatizing and exhilarating gaming experience unlike any other. There's definite room for improvement but in a franchise so convoluted, plot elements will always sit a little weird, especially when combined with the realism of this entry. Highly recommended.

Then comes RE7, which after beating it brought back that "feel" the classic game were known for in my eyes. The feeling of overcoming the odds and surviving the horror, all with save rooms (in a new RE game, can you believe it?), puzzles and inventory management included like the classics.

    If you're a fan of Resident Evil, especially the classic games, you owe it to yourself to at least give this game in particular a shot before writing it off like I almost had. Definitely one of my GotY's for 2017. 10/10*

    This game had a lot to live up to and I think i managed to do so. I have been with Resident Evil since the beginning and I did not like 5 and 6. I was so happy the 7th brought back the horror and the new main character was even well made. The ending made it all worth it for long time fans as well.

    Resident Evil 7 is the first real AAA VR game come out. Unlike the other RE games this game is in first person to facilitate this. I definitely welcome this change as I'm not a fan of lot of the older games. As far as the VR goes it works and it's cool to see but it doesn't offer anything over the base game experience.

    Terrorífico, opresivo e imponente... el regreso del Survival Horror. Un Resident Evil como los clásicos sólo que jugado en 1a persona. Algo que se le puede echar en cara es la desconexión con respecto a su saga en el plano argumental y los cabos sueltos que quedan en DLCs y aclaran detalles importantes del argumento. Suerte, y ánimo con la familia

    An argument that starts quite loose, but as we play and we are revealing more information becomes very interesting.

    The camera in first person feels great to this delivery, bringing back the terror of the classics and the action of the most current, but well done this time.
    The combats against final bosses have not convinced me.

Sure, sometimes it is scary because of jump scares, but I more often found it to be frightening because of the enemy patrolling: being searched for by the enemies in this game is terrifying. The game, when played on "normal" difficulty, is a great challenge, but not frustratingly difficult: it requires a lot of thought and precision but does not cause you to spend hours on a single boss fight (that is, unless you wasted a ton of ammo: there is very limited ammo, which means you must either be very careful with shooting, or have a really good eye for finding items.) The game had some good puzzles: usually they were not immediately obvious, but they were also not overly difficult. This game by itself is one of the best I have ever played. While no game is perfect, I have very few criticisms of this game. The experience only gets better in VR (that is, if you do not get motion sickness in VR games.) Playing mini-games like Space Pirates in VR is fun, but this is by far the best VR experience I have had as of April 2018. Sure, it does reduce graphics quality some (no way around that) but it greatly makes up for it in immersion. It would have been the best horror game I have played on a flat-screen, but playing it in VR drastically increases how scary it is. It is hard to bring yourself to play a horror game in VR, but it is worth it, and once you get started it is hard to put down because the story leaves you wondering so many things. My only notable criticism is the lack of motion controls, though that is more Sony's fault for not having an analog stick on the Move controllers (hopefully it will come to Steam-VR so it can have proper motion controls.) Besides that, this is an epitome of both a VR game and a horror game: it is not good just because it's a VR game, and it's not good just because it's scary, but both of those elements greatly enhance the experience. Playing this game in VR has been one of the best video game experiences I have ever had: I cannot recommend it enough. Expand

    I was never a fan of Resi before and the last game i played was 10 years ago. This was a awesome new take on the franchise with the First person perspective. The game play is pretty slow but that feeds into the atmosphere of the game. There are plenty of scares early on which was the highlight of the game for me. Defiantly worth a play through

    Resident Evil 7 brings us horror and suspense, but I don't think the first-person camera mode is good for the saga. I also believe that history left us wanting a little more, so let's hope that in the future it gets better!

    First of all I want to say that it is not a resident evil, It looks like a spin-off or some kind of this, but it is not totally bad. It is a good horror story but there are not a lot of moments that scared me, the gameplay is usual and holding on killing enemies and sometimes managing with puzzles.
