    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Easily the best Resident Evil to date. Followed by the Resident Evil 2 remaster in my opinion.

    Pros:

    The story is insanely smooth. From the minor side characters such as Clancy to the 'villains', the family and Eveline to Ethan. Each of the characters are well put together.

    - The atmosphere in the game is hugely eerie in the best way. the setting of an old abandoned out of the eye house, the basement, the swamp, the caves, the garage, the barn house, the ship and the Incinerator area. Every area is memorable.

    - The family has depth. They aren't just conventional 'evil' characters. They are victims as much as the protagonist.

    - The graphical advancement from the previous games (barring revelations 2, which is also a great game) is a huge positive.

    Cons:

    - I do feel like of all the characters, Ethan is the weakest character which is a shame because he's the protagonist. Despite this he's still a fine main character in perspective of a horror game.

    - Although there is story reason and some variation, the basic enemies lack diversity.

    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a masterpiece. It's a course correction for the series after the action heavy RE 6. Featuring a first-person perspective, it blends elements from the original RE with modern day horror game trends. Cinematically, the game borrows from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Blair Witch Project and Saw.

Cinematically, the game borrows from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Blair Witch Project and Saw. The developer's decision to break away from the main RE mythology and tell a stand alone tale is a great one.

    At 10 hours long, Resident Evil 7 isn't a lengthy experience, but it is a very absorbing one. Sadly, the shoddy framerate, lower-res graphics and weaker audio on base Xbox One, brings it down a notch. I'd rate it with an 8.7 out of 10.

    BRAVO!! as a day one fan this game is what we wanted after 1,2,3 & CV before it drifted away with 4,5 &6 and became a non horror game which were CoD like with no real survival. 7 brought the series back on it's feet!!

    the formula is finally once again: low ammo, survival, some riddles (could be more and more difficult) and maybe the best setting ever. THAT is what RE should look like.

    the first person view makes it a lot more intense (which i wasn't sure at the beginning).

    Fantastic first half, but the second half seemed like it was by a different team and a different game and was a bit forgettable. Still excellent up until that point and well worth playing, however.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fabulosa reivindicación de la saga RE, cuenta con entornos tétricos muy inmersivos, un sistema de creacion de recursos muy intuitivo y funcional, armas perfectamente balanceadas y gráficos que al inicio me dejaron perplejo por su realismo, solamente carece de un protagonista interesante y de una amplia variedad de enemigos, tambien sufre de poca rejugabilidad pues una vez sabes como resolver todos los puzzles, el logro que requiere completar el juego en menos de 7 horas deja de parecer una locura.

    I don't think any TV show, movie or video game will scare you as much as Resident Evil 7 Biohazard. The game teaches you what ultimate fear is.

    Do you know what I went through while playing the game? I was so scared that even during the day I was turning down the volume. I couldn't even take a step in the game because of fear. I was playing with trembling every moment. I will never play

    Прыгнули мы с Ксюнечкой так порядочно с шедевральной второй части издания 2019 года конечно же на семерку. Прежде всего сделано это было с осознанием минимальных потерь контекста, ибо истории этих частей хоть и объединяет одна вывеска, по факту же и места событий, и главные герои совершенно отличные и никоим образом не пересекаются, скажу даже больше в седьмой части по сути зомби-то и нетПрыгнули мы с Ксюнечкой так порядочно с шедевральной второй части издания 2019 года конечно же на семерку. Прежде всего сделано это было с осознанием минимальных потерь контекста, ибо истории этих частей хоть и объединяет одна вывеска, по факту же и места событий, и главные герои совершенно отличные и никоим образом не пересекаются, скажу даже больше в седьмой части по сути зомби-то и нет вовсе в классическом их воплощении. В семерке основными противостоящими нам мобами выступают зараженные инфекцией уродливые черные чудовища, ничем не напоминающие людозомбей из второй части, разве что количеством конечностей и то в случае с обитателями Biohazard конечности эти случаются и в виде огромных клешней. А помните навязчивые душещипательные нарастающие звуки шагов Тирана в Resident Evil 2, расшатывающие нервную систему с легкостью парящего перышка? Помнится, как-то в процессе прохождения второго Резидента известнейший неубиваемый бугай застыл в проеме сэйв-комнаты, еще бы шаг и все жизненные ценности и устои наши с женой бы рухнули. Он его к счастью не сделал, но напугал нас так нехило. Так вот к чему я про Тирана вспомнил, он тогда был единственным бессмертным персонажем, бороться с которым можно было только хорошей легкоатлетической подготовкой. В Resident Evil 7 же у нас теперь будет таких целых два подарка судьбы — Джек и Маргарет Бэйкеры главы семейки людоедов, но благо, каждый из них привязан к своему дому. Проходим мы каждую из обителей человеческих страданий по очереди, поэтому «счастья» сваливать сразу от двоих бессмертных на одной локации нам не перепадет. В финалах же прохождения каждого из домов у нас происходят с этими недолюдьми боссфайты, в результате которых их бесконечную жизненную позицию мы низвергаем в пыль, правда, спойлеры, батьку пришлось успокаивать дважды. Раз уж зашел разговор за сражения с антогонистами седьмого Резика, то как по мне, все они, если не считать самого последнего, исполнены весьма эффектно, атмосферно, врезаются в память бесповоротно и самое главное не похожи друг на друга. Финальную Эвелину почему-то не дотянули, притом так достаточно сильно. Такой потрясающий заход на развязку, действительно классный и такой никакой завершающий махач, жаль немного. Впрочем, на общее впечатление от игры это сильно не сказалось, ну разве совсем чуть-чуть. А знаете что я обо всем этом думаю? Capcom действительно крутые ребята! Надо было начать наверное с этого, но Resident Evil он настолько хорош, что эмоции волей неволей выходят на поверхность. Expand

    Pese a que lo paso fatal jugando a juegos de miedo, hay que reconocer que Resident Evil 7 es un gran juego de terror, dando el paso a la primera persona para sentir todavía más el miedo en nuestras carnes.

La ambientación, tanto visual como sonora, hace que estés en continua tensión y en guardia para lo que pueda pasar: enemigos que te asaltan sin que lo esperes, ruidos extraños e inesperados, trampas ocultas... Así mismo, la exploración es un pilar muy importante en este juego para poder avanzar y conseguir todo tipo de recursos para sobrevivir. Aún siendo un gran juego de terror, tiene también sus "peros": el almacenamiento disponible en el inventario es muy limitado, aún consiguiendo mochilas, y en varias ocasiones necesitarás volver a un punto de guardado para reorganizar tus objetos antes de avanzar. Y en el caso de la versión de XBOX One, gráficamente es inferior respecto a otras versiones (lo tengo también en PS4, y se ve bastante mejor aquí), aunque no por ello es menos disfrutable o da menos terror. ¡Lo recomiendo aunque lo pase fatal con el miedo!

    (Valoración realizada en base a la versión de XBOX One jugada en XBOX Series S mediante retrocompatibilidad)

    Nobody would have guessed that Capcom would be able to spice things up so much after a bunch of mediocre games that started around twenty years ago, slightly after RE2 on the old PlayStation. Things went dramatically downhill around RE5 and RE6, and the boys in Japan realized a change was needed.

Things went dramatically downhill around RE5 and RE6, and the boys in Japan realized a change was needed.

    RE7 Biohazard has given us a brand new first person perspective, a throw back to the old days when atmosphere was king and a very tense gameplay. By and large they have succeeded and the game was a blast to play with a protagonist called Ethan Winters.

    Pros-
    Best atmosphere and game world ever!
    Brilliant surround-sound audio through the headphones
    Fantastic game engine- with epic shadow and lighting
    Baker house had awesome level of detail
    Open door animation
    Limited ammo at start made for tense gameplay
    Crazy storyline for the most part

    Cons-
    Very linear game
    Enemies lacked variety and had basic design
    Lip-sync bug whenever I played cassette tapes
    Final boss battle was a let-down
    Who was that person impersonating Chris?
    Little reason to replay the game

    Game content- 10 out of ten
    Fun Factor- 8 out of ten

    I loved this game very much, thanks to: The first person who makes it scarier because you see it in the eyes of the character. The DLCs that are entertaining. The nightmare mode that is a real nightmare. The lack of weapons makes it something more Survivar horror, so that they don't give you an RPG-7. I loved the terror in the game.

    Le Resident dEbil ne se bonifie pas avec le temps et chaque cuvée est aussi imbuvable que la précédente. Toujours ces problèmes d’interface et surtout de maniabilité : la visée est totalement erratique, le combat est imprécis et le personnage se déplace comme un petit vieux d’Alzheimer sous Prozac.

    On sent bien que le jeu a été pensé pour être recommencé jusqu’au par coeur ou presque : putain, elle était où la clé pour ouvrir ce bordel à cul ? c’est pas indiqué, alors rouvre tous les tiroirs pendant que l’autre sagouin te poursuit avec sa pelle et sa hache… Ce n’est pas hélas un prétexte ou une occasion à une quelconque furtivité puisqu’on ne peut se cacher nulle part !

    Dommage, si on avait eu le temps de faire les choses, ç’aurait pu le faire. Eventuellement. Sinon, l’humour est assez balourd, il est à base d’hémoglobine et de gore (recolle ta jambe et soigne-toi lolilol) et met sérieusement à mal toute crédibilité. Si tant est qu’il y en eût jamais dans cette série de jeux à la con…

    On a tout de même des sauvegardes automatiques parce que sinon faut utiliser un truc à cassettes (lol ?) pour sauvegarder… et puis Mia a une sale gueule -y compris quand elle est calme- et reste gaulée comme un sac de patates. Ce thon fout plus les jetons que tout le reste.

    Cela dit, le jeu est assez beau (bien que terne) et tourne à 60 im/s (c’est bien agréable) et en plus, on a même droit à un doublage français de qualité ! depuis le temps, c’est finalement arrivé… alleluia ! Donc, j’irai jusqu’à… euh… 1 pour ce jeu lourdingue comme c’est pas permis qu’il vaut mieux éviter quoi qu’il arrive : on économise ainsi du temps et de l’argent. Enfin bref, un jeu Capcon quoi.

The graphics are beautiful, and the design of the entire game nicely contributes to the feeling of fear. Lack of resources leads the player to despair and contributes to the uncertainty of the story, but that also knows to frustrate. You're always missing something. The game is fluid. The puzzles are too easy, and the enemies are generically the same. The music could have been better.

    SRB:
    Povratak korenima RE serijala. Čisti horor žanr sa elementima preživljavanja, bez uplitanja raznih sci-fi elemenata. Priča je zanimljiva, lepo se razvija i daje nam različite završetke igre u zavisnosti od igračevih odluka u toku igranja. Grafika je lepa, a dizajn celokupne igre lepo doprinosi osećaju straha. Nedostatak resursa dovodi igrača u očajanje i doprinosi neizvesnosti priče, ali i izuzetno zna da frustrira. Stalno ti nešto fali. Igra je fluidna. Zagonetke su previše lagane, a neprijatelji generično isti. Muzika je mogla biti bolja.

Nunca me habia asustado tanto como en este gran juego, es uno de los mejores que he jugado, siempre esta la sensacion horrible de claustrofobia y miedo de que demonios habra al otro lado, los enemigos me parecen que son de lo mejor en el juego, me parecen aterradores sobre todo evangeline con sus moscos, el mas terrorifico seria ella, el mas rompe pelotas y mas fuerte seria el padre, el hijo que tambien es un rompe pelotas con sus constantes bombas y trucos es el mas listo del juego, hay un muy correcto balance entre el terror puro y el survival horror junto con la atmosfera se combinan perfecto, mia se me hace un gran personaje junto a ethan y Zoe.
    Son muy buena conbinacion, la trama es sencilla y muy buena, el final de que la abuela es Evangeline es un gran giro de 180 grados en la historia, no me lo esperaba cuando lo jugue... es un grandioso juego y no puedo esperar a RE Village

    Even though Resident Evil 7 Biohazard ditches the third person point of view to a first person and a more intimate story, it does an amazing job of bringing back its roots which made the series so successful. The extraordinary work that was done in the different game departments such as story telling, audio, gameplay and graphics will keep me from sleeping at night and remembering it as a great experience.

    Resident Evil 7 seems to us an indispensable game if you like the adventures with action and puzzles, but with a great inconvenience: IT IS SO SCARY. Keeps you heartbroken for hours and that is everything that we wanted from this title. Stay away from the prejudices you had about this game of the Resident Evil saga, because you will love it without a doubt.
