Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Whether you play on PC or console, VR or not, just play. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a remarkable accomplishment and a truly triumphant return of a storied franchise. Masterfully executed on all fronts, this game will leave a lasting impression on you long after you’re done. Just please, do it justice. Play alone, with some headphones and really get into it. Trust me, it’s miles better that way. If you give it a chance, it’ll show you what horror games are capable of. It never fails to make you feel unsettled and it’ll creep you the hell out, but damn, it’s good. Capcom have restored Residen...

I had hoped to enjoy Resident Evil 7 for what it appeared to be: a strange, Western approach to the series. I didn’t expect it to hark so close to the series’ roots while managing to still bring some action and more intuitive controls. Production-wise, this is the best Capcom’s ever done, with believable performances (wait ’til you see the Baker’s son. Something about him is so freakishly real to me) and wonderfully creepy audio design. With or without VR, Capcom nailed the pulse-pounding atmosphere and I am finally legitimately excited to see what it’s going to do next. Though the enemy desig...

Serving as the gameplay and story revival that fans of classic Resident Evil have wanted yet still managing to keep elements fans of modern Resident Evil enjoy, there's something here for everyone and it's the perfect place for newbies to enter the series as well.

Instead of the b-movie cheesiness we've come to know and love from previous games (sorry fans -- no boulder-punching this time around), Resident Evil VII reaches levels of dread and fear we haven't seen since the days of the original, and that (mostly) works to the game's advantage when it comes to reinvigorating the franchise. Though it appears like a complete reinvention from the outside looking in, Resident Evil VII is very much made from the same DNA that made the original games the revered horror classics that they are today. Like the game's intro that has players sitting down for supper ...

Much has been said about Resident Evil 6 and how it single handedly destroyed the series’ reputation but with Resident Evil 7, Capcom have bought the franchise right back to its roots. Capcom may possibly never top the experience provided by the first four games (and Code Veronica) in the series but they have come really very close with Resident Evil 7 Biohazard.

The best Resident Evil in years.

A true return to form for the long running series, Resident Evil 7 reinvents itself while still retaining that classic RE feel. Delivering a real horror experience, the game can definitely scare, but it also just works as a fun and engaging survival experience.

Terror reborn.

While Resident Evil 7 does have flaws, on the whole it is the best entry into the franchise in over a decade. The gamble definitely paid off

Resident Evil 7 grounds itself in elements that made the original great while still indulging in a risky new shift in style that both helps and hurts the beloved formula in equal measure. But it’s also the closest a numbered sequel has come to recapturing Resident Evil’s slow, but thrilling and atmospheric adventure game roots in a while — a welcome return that I truly hope to see more of in the future.

There are some fantastic environments and old school style puzzles in Resi 7. The final section stops being survival horror and becomes a bit of a clunky linear shooter, but the first few hours are scary enough to put you off Louisiana for life.
