    Good game and port, very few truly scary elements, the music and setting are top notch.

    Solid port of a solid game. If this hadn't been included for free with Stadia Pro I likely never would've played it. I'm not a fan of horrorSolid port of a solid game. If this hadn't been included for free with Stadia Pro I likely never would've played it. I'm not a fan of horror games but loved Resident Evil 4 so I gave it a chance. Despite some scares and plenty of on-edge moments I made it through the game and enjoyed my time with it. The graphics are good but not great (not a Stadia issue) and some parts of the game drag a bit but I'd highly recommend playing this.… Full Review »

    19 years ago I was experiencing for the first time on Gamecube, Resident Evil (Remake). Fix camera, gorgeous graphic with amazing sounds. The19 years ago I was experiencing for the first time on Gamecube, Resident Evil (Remake). Fix camera, gorgeous graphic with amazing sounds. The atmosphere was set up for this great horror game. The story was composed with clever puzzles design which kept me playing the game for an entire month despite not being a fan of the gameplay.

    Since then, I mostly play every Resident Evil game with for my top three: Resident Evil 2 (Remake), Resident Evil 8 and in the last spot, Resident Evil 4. When Capcom announced Resident Evil 7 I was skeptical about the new game direction and gameplay. Being a fan of third person view introduced in Resident Evil 4 and also used in Dead Space trilogy, another horror franchise which I highly enjoy. This new direction was keeping me away for playing the game.

    At the moment, Stadia unveils its Pro lineup for April, a month prior the release of Resident Evil 8 on the same platform. I knew it was time for me to go back in and give a shot at the series after the disappointing Resident Evil 5 & 6.

    Discovering the protagonist of the game wasn’t Leon, Chris or Jill, the most famous face from the popular franchise, but a new character named Ethan Hunters. Right at the beginning, I was having the impression to play a new horror franchise, which I believe was the intention of the creators.

    After a few hours trying to survive inside the Bakers house, the antagonist of this game, I learned to love the first person perspective, but also the bold new vision. He gets me excited for the upcoming Resident Evil 8 while throwing me back at that time when Resident Evil 4 came out.

    Stress, Excited, Upset while feeling challenge by the puzzles inside the house or hunted by the Bakers family. I was enjoying once more Resident Evil. Walking away from the zombie formula used during the last two decades. Resident Evil 7 introduced a new concept which is going to be the basis for a new trilogy.

    Throughout the first two acts, I have experienced something new… something which has never been done before in Resident Evil. The pacing and environment of the game is different. If you have play “Outcast” horror games, you will have an idea about what I’m talking about. Then, in the third act, the game shift to go back to familiar ground like previous games in the series, adding more action to his mechanic.

    Do I enjoy playing Resident Evil 7? Definitely. But I never connect with the lead protagonist as I did in past with Leon Scott Kennedy. Ethan Hunters feels bland compared other heroes who have paved the way of this franchise. If there was one negative point of the game, it would’ve been him.

    However, the graphic doesn’t disappoint here and they do honor to the franchise reputation because if one things Resident Evil is being known for… this is its impressive graphic which always push the limit of the platform. Having learn to appreciate the first person view, I still prefer the third person. It’s created better cinematics and I also like seeing my character hiding a portion of the screen, which brings more intensity.

    Regardless of its weak protagonist, Resident Evil 7 remain a solid entry in the franchise. If you like horror games, you can’t be wrong with Resident Evil 7 on Stadia.
