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.

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.

Just like when Resident Evil 4 reinvented the series, Resident Evil 7 has done just the same. Resident Evil 7 is an absolutely terrifying and thrilling survival horror game that starts off strong and never lets up until the final credits start rolling.

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

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...

Resident Evil VII: Biohazard is a smart re-imagining of a franchise that far too often has rested on its laurels in recent years. Replacing camp acting and comic-book villains with slow-burn malicious antagonists and swapping out hordes of the undead for a more intimate threat, the change of pace was at first strange for this long-time fan, but ultimately very welcome. Despite the obvious changes, the game is still at its core a Resident Evil game, and while it doesn’t always gel together f...

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...

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.

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...

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.

For them to successfully steer one of their flagships back on track, Capcom has done what many thought was unthinkable. It was less than twelve months ago that the publisher released Umbrella Corps, at which point I – and no doubt many others – were ready to call time on the series. Resident Evil 7 definitely has a handful of weak points, but it’s by far the best AAA survival horror game we’ve seen in quite some time.

A brilliant reinvention for the series and great horror game in its own right.

Many games have come and gone in the twenty years since Resident Evil first came screaming into public consciousness. Indeed, scary games have become a multi-million dollar industry, with YouTubers forcing screams from the mildest of jump scares. There’s an argument to be made that we’ve all become a bit desensitized to being scared by games, and it wasn’t until Konami’s P.T. demo was released that genuine wild-eyed, white fisted fear came back. Resident Evil 7 is somewhat of a reboot for the franchise, but on a wider note, maybe the entire genre, too.

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.

Few opening acts scream reinvention more than Resident Evil 7’s. Instead of pumping lead into zombies and creatures born of man-made viruses, the player is isolated and hunted by a deadly apparition. The series has always relied on scientific explanation for its grotesqueries, but with objects moving on their own and ghostly beings flashing in and out of reality, the introductory moments are clearly supernatural – or that’s what Capcom wants you to believe. The first taste of this adventure doesn’t embody Resident Evil; it feels like a new experience designed to feed off of player senses and fears in...
