    My oh, I will never forget puttin on the VR helmet for the first time, askin for a rain check so quickly. Took a lot of courage to get along and stand the horror, but then I learned hat its not only horror but also a great game and story that makes this one not only the best VR title but also a great Resident Evil sequel.

    Resident Evil 7 was a great survival horror game. The Baker residence is creepy and atmospheric. The best in the series in a long time!

    It’s the most memorable RE game after CODE: VERONICA. And I believe after it every RE games will be just normal games and it will not have this moody style again and that’s sad to think about, because I’ve seen VILLAGE and what they plan to do in the future games ):

    They constantly talk about a new direction in the genre, about a new direction in the RE series, they constantly compare it with Resident Evil 4. Each game review has the same thing. In what new direction? In the direction of copying games 2013-2016?

    Outlast, Alien: Isolation, PT (one to one) and so on. We copy and say that "This is a new approach to the series." Let’s sign in order    They constantly talk about a new direction in the genre, about a new direction in the RE series, they constantly compare it with Resident Evil 4. Each game review has the same thing. In what new direction? In the direction of copying games 2013-2016?

    Outlast, Alien: Isolation, PT (one to one) and so on. We copy and say that "This is a new approach to the series."

    Let’s sign in order not to dump everything. The painting will be: Plot, gameplay, atmosphere, and so on. That is, point by point. Go.

    1. The plot. Was he there at all? Don’t get it wrong, there’s something like a plot, but it’s only in notes, that's all. This is not Dark Soules, where the main plot in the descriptions of objects. Speaking bluntly, there is no plot. I do not consider notes for the plot. They simply tell you, "You have come, there is a virus, go save", what, why, why, how, and do not give a damn. Again girls, I'm not in 2005, I'm in (at that time) in 2017, alo, enough to exploit little girls. I do not play F.E.A.R, I play Resident Evil. In the seventh part there is not even a plot twist, it immediately burns at the very beginning of the game. The game does not entice, neither the plot nor the more gameplay.

    2. Gameplay. You have two locations. Mansion with courtyard and END game tanker. All. The gameplay in itself ... is bad, it is terrible. The weapon is not felt, you shoot as if from children's farts. You don’t understand whether you hit the enemy or not, because the damage is not reflected on them. You shoot, move away, shoot, move away; repeat until the end of the game. This is not an interesting gameplay. He's just boring. But they probably tried with the bosses, right? You ask. No, they didn’t try. The same thing, hit with a chainsaw, step back and repeat, repeat. All boss battles are just cut scenes, you just need to wait for the activation of a particular script, or activate it yourself. Each boss battle: shoot, move away, shoot, script, passed.

    But you know, basically there’s nobody to shoot at. There are some **** demons, there are only 4 of them. Vomiting, ordinary, crawling, ordinary with a claw. They do not represent danger, well, in general, no. Turn on any complexity and nothing will change. You can run away from them at the door, they will disappear and go quietly on. Or simply run them. And these very **** demons appear extremely rarely. You simply go to empty locations. As written below, Resident Evil 7 is simply a Walking Simulator. Walk yourself, walk.

    Or in rare cases, you can be a kind of Rambo, because you will always have a large number of ammunition, guns, etc., you can simply shoot all the **** demons. If it’s straight, it has become so boring at all. And from this, players have to **** in their pants? Should they be afraid of this?

    In the same Alien: Isolation, there is always fear, even in those moments when you have weapons and you are in a safe room. You will still have reason to be afraid. Namely, the Alien himself. This is a death machine, sensitive, fast and smart. You need to complete the main quest and at the same time think about how to get this creature for dinner. The atmosphere in Alien: Isolation is beautifully served.

    If Alien: Isolation scares the atmosphere and a smart opponent, then Outlast scares you with screamers and a shock effect. They cut off your fingers, try to cut off a member, you fall into a bunch of corpses and so on. Outlast has an atmosphere, but it is pushed into the background. There is no constant sense of danger, as in Alien: Isolation.

    3. The atmosphere. Resident Evil 7 has no atmosphere and no smart opponents. As I said before, any opponent can simply be circumvented. They scare you with rare scrimers and that’s it. They are afraid of nobody and nothing. There is no sense of danger. I played at an insane level of difficulty on ps4, that is, with a gamepad. (hello all the tanking control of the past parts). And either I'm too brave, or this game simply can scare only the most impressionable people in the world. Well, really, you go to empty locations, who is there to be scared of?

    4. Characters. Absolutely no one was remembered. They are all dolls. Not interesting, not emotional, not prescribed, just wooden dolls. One character had a chance to be remembered, but he was given too little screen time.

    Conclusion: This is not Resident Evil and will never be. In this game, everything was done poorly, sometimes the graphics are beautiful, but basically everything is gray and ****, I'm not talking about quality, I'm talking about the places we go to. Seriously, there is a whole corridor level where a bunch of gray biomass is just poured around you. I am not kidding. Bosses are boring and monotonous, the gameplay is terrible and boring.

    I think RE7's graceful return to form is something worthy of the praise this titles received since its release in 2017, but while its changes are definitely something to be appreciated, especially after RE5 AND RE6 simply followed the grain of what was popular at the time, most of them fall flat in my opinion.

    Resident Evil 7 is the 800th entry in the long running Resident Evil    I think RE7's graceful return to form is something worthy of the praise this titles received since its release in 2017, but while its changes are definitely something to be appreciated, especially after RE5 AND RE6 simply followed the grain of what was popular at the time, most of them fall flat in my opinion.

    Resident Evil 7 is the 800th entry in the long running Resident Evil franchise, and it's the first mainline game since the PlayStation 1 to focus solely on the horror, ever since Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube and PS2, the series has been going further and further into action, culminating in a visually loud yet shallow Resident Evil 6 back in 2012. The poor reception to which, made Capcom took a break from the series for 5 years getting their collective sh*t together for the next mainline entry, and they succeeded in bringing the series back to what made it standout in the first place.

    RE7 follow all around good guy, Ethan Winters, in a Blair Witch inspired first person Louisiana house looking for his wife Mia, in his search he meets such friendly faces as Jack Baker, the crazed, seemingly unkillable patriarch of the family, who is as funny in his dialogue as he is absolutely terrifying in gameplay. Marguerite Baker, the weird bug lady person who's dedicated section had my skin crawling with all the creepy buzzing sounds and bugs, Lucas Baker, who's just kind of insane, Grandma, who is Grandma, and Zoe Baker, your only friend and kind of hot partner in the Baker house... Look I'm not saying Ethan should've saved her over Mia I'm just saying I'd have liked to without getting the bad ending. This lovely Texas Chainsaw Massacre inspired family will be your main adversaries in the game and the only ones worth mentioning because the Molded honestly kinda suck.

    While I love the game, I can't help but think I'd have liked it more if it wasn't in first person, it's not terrible but considering the REmakes we got around the same time with RE2 and RE3 which were third person, I can't help but want that for these games too. Capcom not helping matters with their weird adamant refusal to show Ethan's face so we can "project ourselves onto him" well he has a wife so already I can't do that, and besides, I don't want to project myself onto Ethan I want Ethan to be his own character, the reason Chris, Leon, Jill and Claire are so beloved is because they're all their own larger than life characters, screw Ethan's relatability, Chris is a special forces officer, turned anti Bio Organic Weapon soldier WHO PUNCHES BOULDERS AND HAS A HOT SISTER, that's what I want in my main character, not to feel like ME, I don't like ME, I like CHRIS REDFIELD.

    All that being said, Resident Evil 7 is a great game and though Capcom fell short of following it up in the recent Resident Evil 8, I hope RE9 goes back to a primarily horror focus and we can all bond over our mutual love of pissing ourselves terrified.    … Expand

After having enjoyed that game and reading good reviews, I decided to go back and give RE7 a chance. I'm so glad I did. I've played horror games before, but this game absolutely terrified me in a way no other medium ever could. No book, no movie even came close. The plot starts out chaotic at first with vibes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a family of insane rednecks, but you soon realize the rabbit hole goes much deeper. I loved the idea of using mold instead of a virus or parasite. Black mold is horrifying enough already as it is, and it makes for some chilling location and monster designs. The various locations are all themed differently, with the intro being about abduction, the second location paying homage to classic backwater horror movies, the basement being all about mold and monsters, one location about insects and another putting you through a series of Saw like traps while a maniac toys with you. The final levels are then more combat oriented. This is one of the weaker points of the game, though luckily the plot begins to make sense by then, and the final revelations are actually quite tragic. The only real letdown is the final boss fight. By then we feel some sympathy for the main villain, and a more story driven conclusion may have been more impactful instead of a cliché special effects driven fight. Or maybe one more confrontation with the family, or a character one disappoints in a pivotal scene. But this is a small nitpick. The only other thing I didn't like was inventory management. I felt this was handled much more efficiently in the remakes. But overall the game is fantastic and unlike any horror game out there. Even in 2020 this game is still great.… Expand

    Excelente juego de terror, aunque creo que no tiene nada que ver con los Resident Evil anteriores, forzadamente nombrado y conectado a la saga de zombies y armas bio orgánicas. Este juego pudo haber brillado con luces propias sin utilizar el nombre de la franquicia.
    Y viendo cómo va la octava entrega entre sus licántropos y vampiresas va lejos del camino original de Resident Evil.

    This game is great! Capom did an amazing job at reinventing the RE franchise after the complete mess they did with RE5 & RE6.
    This is survival horror at it's finest. Graphics are really good, the story hooks you from the beginning and the game is scary as ****
    The only bad thing is the short number of enemy types. Definetly a must play if you like horror games / movies.

    •Sticks to the saga’s basics
    •Guns are nicely balanced
    •Feels enjoyable and fun
    •Creates a good horror atmosphere

    This is probably the scariest game of all time if you play it in VR. The opening hours of the game are horrifying, the whole atmosphere is fantastic. The reduction of a point is due to the fact that some of the monsters are a bit generic later on. But other than that this is my favourite Resident Evil game.

    The atmosphere is beautifully terrifying. The game is scary and immersive. It feels like something is gonna pop up and kill you at any moment and that keeps you on edge most of the times. Having said that, something about this game feels a little off. Maybe it's the inability to see the protagonist that makes it more like a Blair Withc/Half Life combo than a Resident Evil game.

    It did not felt like a Resident Evil game. It felt more like Outcast with lame ass "I"m going to make you bleed because it's supposed to make you scared but you won't die" kinda bs.

    The game takes place in the Baker's Estate and with that comes a fresh environment of grimy architecture and the terrifying presence of the Baker family, a family of chemically altered psychopaths in the vein of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Another new enemy coming along with this game is the Molded, a group of faceless monster coming in all shapes and sizes to keep the player on edge at all times (for as long as possible). The score is fantastic and atmospheric, the gameplay is suitably challenging for each play style and the inventory brings a sense of required organisation and panic when in enemy encounters/boss battles. The story also brings a certain new flavour to the series, taking you out of the biohazard prevention, militaristic world and more into the eyes of an every man, just trying to survive the night.

    My gripes for the game come in the form of the repetitive nature of the Molded encounters, they really lose their fear factor after a short period of time as you will constantly be appearing and after the player has discovered their weaknesses, they become close to not a challenge at all. But in short, this is a good game, like really good, and is such a well realised breath of fresh air for the RE franchise and makes me more pumped than ever for the future of the series.

    Cae en los básicos Jumpscares de película de terror Americana y no hay mucha variedad de enemigos más que los Baker y las variaciones de los holomorfos.

    Resident Evil 7 is truly a return to form. I thought Resident Evil 6 was pretty bad, while 5 was great, but not as good as 4. The series needed something big and RE7 delivers in a big way.

    This is really the direction all future RE games should follow. The atmosphere is tense, the characters are minimal but memorable. A very good game for those who are fond of the horror genre. My only complaint is that the game is rather short (I've finished it in about 7-8 hours) and there doesn't seem to be a real incentive to play it again.

The main characters of Ethan and Mia felt a bit flat to me, however the story was pretty decent, with the ties to the previous games at the end seeming more like an afterthought. As well as this, the enemies were super repetitive and the last section of the game felt more like a shooter than a horror game, but overall this game is fine.… Expand
