    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard always faced an uphill battle in comparison to the two other PS5 upgrades, and the mountain has proven too much. While the game looks and runs better, it's still a long way off Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. It's like playing a really good-looking PS4 game rather than something native to PS5. Still, at least the game itself remains a cracker.

    First-person and 3D audio is a great mix, with solid ray-tracing support enhancing some terrifying moments. It’s a shame VR doesn’t benefit from the upgrade. [Issue#17, p.77]

With a chilling original story,Re-invents itself successfully to become one of the scariest, thrilling Resident Evil games in the series. With a chilling original story, gripping gameplay and eerie settings. Characters are nothing to write home about and the lack of enemy variety is fairly noticeable but that doesn't stop the game from being fun.

    DLC bridges the gap with small narratives that connect it to the main plot of the game. There's also fun arcade-like game modes which really bring out the campy fun in this otherwise tense game.

    The next-gen patch for RE7 seems to be much better than RE2 and RE3. I haven't noticed any fps dips in the RT mode.

    The next-gen patch for RE7 seems to be much better than RE2 and RE3. I haven't noticed any fps dips in the RT mode.
    The dualsense features have a barebones implementation just like RE8, meaning you get trigger resistance while shooting (and while aiming with a non-pistol weapon) but no specific haptic feedback.
    The advertised 3D audio feature seems to be here to some extent, but again it's not that noticable and I couldn't compare it to the PS4 release.
    As mentioned by Capcom, there are no additional story content. Overall, a decent free upgrade. I've had issues with transferring my saves, where a noticeable number of trophies didn't activate. That seems to be due to low number of save files I had, as they didn't cover all the required trophy flags.

    This being my first Resident Evil game, I have to say I am positively surprised. Sure, I knew the series is ranked among the best by many, butThis being my first Resident Evil game, I have to say I am positively surprised. Sure, I knew the series is ranked among the best by many, but still, going into the game with no expectations, I enjoyed it a lot.

    The shooting and fighting mechanics are a bit hard at first, but it becomes rewarding when you master it. The story is captivating and the game is quite scary at times, in a balanced way.
