Resident Evil 7 is a title that pulled the franchise out of the action quagmire and brought it back to its roots. The first half of the game is quite tense and well done. In the second half, we return to the older RE games and see plenty of action. Even though it is the favorite RE game for many people, I find some of the praise exaggerated. Is it bad? Definitely not. It is successful, but not as much as hyped. We …

I still remember the first time Jack Baker walked into the room. At that point I was slowly working my way through the house. Opening drawers, checking corners, trying to stay quiet while those strange noises kept coming from somewhere in the walls. Then Jack appears and suddenly the house doesn’t feel like a level anymore. It feels like someone else's home and you're the one who shouldn’t be there. From that moment …

Resident Evil 7 is so good it's actually stupid. The Baker family is easily one of the best parts of the entire series. Every time one of them showed up I knew something bad was about to happen. The house is creepy, the atmosphere is great, and the game somehow keeps making simple things feel stressful. Also, Ethan deserves way more love than he gets. The amount of stuff this guy goes through in this game is insane. …

Resident Evil 7 Evil is terrifying, it's easily the scariest game I've ever played. Having played this after playing Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Resident Evil 4 Remake, I was a little thrown off by how much clunkier the gameplay felt, but then I remembered this game is actually older than all of those games. The world design here is incredible, Jack, his insanity, and the glimpse of humanity …

Critics, per Wikipedia
Due to its first-person presentation, the game has drawn comparisons to Konami's cancelled Silent Hills game and its P.T. demo. Capcom responded to this by pointing out that Resident Evil 7 was in development long before the reveal of P.T., and dispelled any rumors about staff of P.T. having been hired to work on the game. Shacknews noted that Beginning Hour had several similarities with Sweet Home (1989), the Capcom horror game that inspired the original Resident Evil (1996). These similarities to Sweet Home include the plot of a film crew going to an abandoned house, a paranormal female presence in the house, and a tragic tale involving a family that once lived there. Eurogamer found the…

From the very beginning, you are placed in a creepy house where you don't understand what the hell is going on here, but this builds the entire atmosphere of fear and helplessness. But the fact that you'll be running around this house a lot will keep you from getting bored at all, thanks to jumpscares and a gripping vibe of dampness, despair, and perhaps even madness,…

Played it on consoles on release and was one of the creepiest games I played back then. Even knowing all the jump scares the atmosphere is still creepy as heck. Been a fun ride to experience again!

Such a memorable experience.

I actually played my first playthrough in VR because it came with the Ps4 VR bundle, and the experience was insane in the best way.

My highlights ended up being the DLCs (Nightmare, 21, and especially End of Zoe with the boxing gameplay), all of which expanded the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Most people think horror is about monsters. They're wrong. Horror is about realizing nobody is coming to save you. And Resident Evil 7 understands that better than almost any game I've played. The moment you step onto that property, something feels off. Not in a dramatic way. In a quiet way. Like the house already knows your name. Like it's been waiting for you. I loved that feeling. The Baker estate isn't just a location. It's a trap pretending to be a home. Every hallway feels too…

The game is solid, with the most well developed antagonists, well since 2009. The graphics, atmosphere and overall setting make the game a proper survival horror experience but... the stakes are really really low and the game is too grounded. While it may be a positive for some, I feel like any OG protagonist would run through this under 30 mins. If you are not…

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the focus on pure horror that Resident Evil had lost since RE4. The good: -The atmosphere is incredible, especially during the first half of the game in the Baker house. -A lot of people didn't like the switch to a first-person perspective, but for me, it increases the immersion a lot. -I really liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes of the game's theme. -The puzzles are cool,…
