    This is the game that came to rescue RE franchise from the terrible RE6.

    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.    … Expand

    After a slew of disappointing sequels, this is finally a Resi game to be excited about. Genuinely creepy and occasionally terrifying, this is exactly what i've been waiting for since Resi 4! Graphics are incredible, especially on HDR settings. Sound design and voice acting are great. Puzzles can be pretty fiendish and the story is engrossing. I loved every minute of it.

    This game is a long awaited dream come true for me. It's RE 1 meets Alien Isolation. I'm a life long RE fan. I've played every single one, with RE 1 and RE 4 being my favorites. Alien Iso is one of my top 5 survival games. To have both married into one with superb acting, visuals and classic RE game play. I'm pitchin' tents non stop!

    I don't get the people saying that this isn't a Resident Evil game. It has so much nostalgia of the earlier games (puzzles, multiple keys, item boxes, etc.) They said from the very beginning that 7 is a reboot. That is EXACTLY what it is, while maintaining the traditional idiosyncrasies that make a RE game.

    If you go into this game with the goal of having fun, being scared, and reminiscing, instead of LOOKING for faults, you will love every second. As for the scare factor? This is the first RE game that I had to put down and take a break after a few hours due to the creepiness and scares. I mean, c'mon. The first "zombie" encounter on the stairs and the next 20 min that follows? That sh** is just messed up!    … Expand

    RE6 is Forgiven :)

    Now that I've got that out of the way.. RE7 despite its shift to a first person perspective (which I concede is perhaps the best way to deliver real scares to the player as every thing can get "in your face") is definitely a return to form for the survival horror franchise. It delivers the same claustrophobic and trapped feelings as the original games did on    RE6 is Forgiven :)

    Now that I've got that out of the way.. RE7 despite its shift to a first person perspective (which I concede is perhaps the best way to deliver real scares to the player as every thing can get "in your face") is definitely a return to form for the survival horror franchise.
    It delivers the same claustrophobic and trapped feelings as the original games did on PS1/GameCube remakes.
    Visually the game is perhaps the best I've seen on XBone, at least in terms of the textures and interior lighting and shadows. Every surface has the right level of sheen and gloss. Character models are fantastic and the facial animations are up there with some of the best.
    Sound wise, you'd be hard pressed to find a more eerie soundscape. Even walking down an innocuous corridor, the tiniest creek or groan of the structure can cause an elevation in heartrate. The atmosphere is amazing.
    As for the story itself, the overall pacing and the rate that real developments are trickled out is almost perfect. Despite any feelings of fear (or even occasional frustration - dying can be a somewhat frequent occurrence) the want of needing to know what happens next spurs you on.
    In terms of sheer enjoyment, presentation, technical aspects and the ability to keep me glued to the couch for hours on end - 10 out of 10. Will play again!    … Expand

    officially my favorite horror game of all time
    Resident Evil 7 is a first person survival horror game where you play as a character named Ethan who gets a video from his wife who was kidnapped while babysitting
    this leads him to an old house out in the swamps of Louisiana
    As you explore this house and find its hidden passage ways you learn you’re not alone here…
    Tons of missing person cases around this time, but maybe this is just a coincidence
    There’s a crazy family…
    And you spend the game dealing with this family and trying to rescue and escape with your wife
    This is hands down the most terrifying video game I’ve ever played…
    And I don’t scare easy…
    Usually games only get me with cheap jump scares..
    I don’t ever expect more than that...
    Again I’m no Pewdiepie…
    But here I was genuinely terrified to progress during the first half of the game…
    The characters and setting are so eerie…
    you feel vulnerable throughout as you search the areas for keys and other items to solve a simple puzzle and move on…
    Even during moments of back tracking it never gets easier…
    each location feels just as terrifying as before…
    And you’re not even defenseless…
    You have a knife... you can pick up guns and other items to craft health packs and better ammo…
    but even with all of this you can’t help but feel your life is on the line around every corner…
    Where the game starts to fall apart is when they introduce the mud/mold type enemies that come out of the walls…
    they’re definitely terrifying at first… but only because they’re new…
    But they’re so over used that they quickly become an eye roll rather than a scare…. They eventually pose no threat…
    The game would’ve greatly benefitted from sticking to the style of focusing on 1 unique characters per section of the game like the first half instead of throwing in these generic monsters around every corner to deal with…
    They broke the experience immersion for me and reminded me this was a video game..
    And the games reliance on these enemies is worse as it goes on that by time I was in the final 3 hour stretch of this 7 and a half hour game I was running through them and the rest of the game like it was nothing… thankfully the final 20 minutes or so bring the game back to what it does best…
    But these putty creatures plucked from the power rangers are a joke.
    They’re a slight hiccup in the overall fantastically horrifying experience that is resident evil 7 though…
    The game is so clever with its puzzles, even doing subtle things like putting solutions or important item locations in these vhs tapes where you play as other characters.. these vhs tapes are just as terrifying as the main game, if not more at times…
    And you never feel stuck… again I beat the game in 7 and a half hours and I was very thorough…
    the game does a great job of bread crumb trailing you to the right items you need..
    Resident Evil 7 is also compatible with the PlayStation vr... which im sure makes this game even more terrifying...
    unfortunately this does get in the way of the game itself for those of us not using vr as theres this weird directional audio thing going on where you have to look at a character to really hear what they’re saying…
    That isn’t how real life works and its annoying.. .
    So for better and for worse, this game was definitely developed with vr in mind… it wasn’t an afterthought or an added gimmick…
    Resident evil 7 stumbles at times stopping it from being crowned as a true masterpiece…
    But I can’t look over the moments that bring it so close to that status…
    I can’t look over the fact that im one of the most unphased by horror people I know.. And this game got to me.
    This is hands down the best horror games I’ve ever played…

    9.8 out of 10. Love how this game feels interactive and intense with the micro-management. Such detail in creepinesss and gore. The story is crazy with twists and turns. And although the choice at the end doesn't feel that important and last boss fight isn't exciting. It harkens back to the first Resident Evil.

I've been a longtime fan of this series since the PS1 original version of Resident Evil, in fact it was the first game I EVER played and it blew me away and I've played every numbered game since with the only real huge disappointment being #6.

This was when I had lost faith in the series and decided to give up. After playing this game, I was overjoyed. The new perspective is great for this series and this is the most true resident evil game since #1 from the creepy farmhouse setting down to the little details like the music that plays in a saferoom that gives you that sense of safety. The first hour is INTENSE and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The battles are difficult and extremely satisfying and has you managing your inventory and ammo just like the old games. Puzzles and maps are littered throughout, herbs can be found and combined, and collectables are hidden well. The graphics are stunning and the enemies are truly terrifying (even sometimes hilarious). This is truly a triumph at Capcom and made this LONG LONG time fan extremely happy. Good on ya guys… Expand

    This is how a Resident Evil should play like, not that co-op, hyper action-orientated crap from the last couple of games. High amounts of action and co-op = the opposite of scary.

With limited inventory making a return, item management becomes a key factor as the game progresses and more items become available for the player to obtain. A new protagonist, who has no experience with the kinds of situations he's placed in, and who also lacks any sort of special training like our regular heroes, brings about heavy feelings of vulnerability as he's pitted against the sadistic Baker family. The plot and progression is well paced, and in the end, is able to connect with the overall narrative of the franchise.

    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.
