    I love the whole line of RE games. But this one takes it to a whole new level!!! Papa is ONE seriously scary dude, friggin about had CA when he came through first wall. Love the character switch. Best of all is the seamless flow between P and GP, it was hard to tell when game took over or returned control. Overall Best game in a long time!!!!

    Absolutely amazing game that takes resident evil back to the original horror from the first game. Ethan's story will keep you captivated for the whole game. This is a must have. Do not forget to get part 8 and the resident evil remakes as well.

    Like many longtime gamers, the Resident Evil series is near and dear to their hearts. I’ve played the entire series, and some of the installments, many times over. However, the installments since Resident Evil 4 (the best in the series), have lost the “it” factor that made the series unique. Resident Evil 5 moved more action based, and Part 6 was all action, that the series lost the horror element. Not Resident Evil 7. This game changes the formula to a first person based game, but goes back to the tense, ammo scarce, horror game that the series was – yet adds new elements to the game. This game takes influences from western and eastern horror genres, and melds them into a intriguing, and immersive, story. Looking at the game you ask, is this a Resident Evil game in title only? The answer is no – but be aware that this is in the same universe as you come to expect. Graphics: Breathtaking 9/10 The graphics are make you look twice – anyone fans of found film movies, or even the torture film genre, will find the visuals in this game well done. Take some time to watch to look at the detail of the environment. Little touches in lighting, leaves, pictures, and shadows really take this game up a notch. If playing in 4k/HDR, this looks as if you are playing a VHS video, and the environments look real and full. Sound: Amazing – 9.5/10 The sounds, music, effects, and voices take you immediately into the game and you can get lost into it. Surround sound / headphones are a must so you can hear the uttering, chanting, and footsteps in this fun house of a game. The sounds are enough to make you yell out loud. Gameplay: Spectacular – 9/10 Smooth animations, smart A.I., brilliant level design, and different possibilities for battles make this game fun. Easy puzzles, especially for this series, is the one thing that is a knock against this game. Younger gamers may not think so, but those familiar with the series will see that this is extremely easy. Overall, the gameplay is different from the past, and in a good way. The first person perspective is a refreshing change of pace – and the dialogue / story is well thought out. Replay Value – Amazing 9.5/10 Even without multiplayer, this game has high replay value. You get to choose your own path, make your own choices, all which affect the outcome of the game. The game will take you anywhere from 12 to 16 hours to complete, but you will want to do it again. Overall – Near Perfect 9.5/10 I am a fan of First-Person-Shooters (FPS) and all that is associated with them. This is a FPS technically, but it is so much more. It takes a tired, lost Resident Evil series, and breathes new life into it. It may be FPS, but it is survival horror and scavenging that the roots of this series introduced 20 years ago. The story details and ideas that went in this game prove that the mix of Western horror and Eastern horror can mix in story telling – There are a few quirks in this game, but it was fun. Resident Evil 7 is labeled as a survival horror first person shooter, but it is so much more. It takes a tired series and made a game that I am recommending to everyone. It was such a surprise – that I have not felt this way about a game in years. It has elements taken from past RE games, such puzzles, jump scares, scavenging, and action-adventure, and brings it to the now – not a tired old Umbrella story. Spending time with this game, it is apparent that Capcom wanted to create a statement, also to create a cinematic game, and different experience in a game – one not felt in a Resident Evil game before. RE7 took a chance to be different, and it worked. This game is gorgeous, involved, and deep - and it is not the same experience for everyone. The experience and horror is different for each user, which just shows you how much time and thought went into this game. With this much depth, it is hard to compare it to something else out right now, and you can’t. It is the perfect January release – for when game releases slow, the lull of winter sets in, and the year is just starting. Typically, when I play a game that I truly enjoy, I have a wow moment – maybe two. This game made me do that several different times. Maybe they weren’t WOW moments - more like OH SH$# moments. This game is definitely worth checking out, and I hope that it does not get lost in the with an early spring release, but for 2017, it is already in my GAMES OF THE YEAR list.

    Resident Evil Returns To Its Roots

    RE7 is a true love letter to its fans. It is a first person, next generation rendition of the classic Resident Evil games we grew up with. Items and keys make a return and is an important component of progressing in the game. It has more puzzle heavy gameplay and action scenes are few and far between. There are more scares in RE7 and it is great to see this franchise return to what made it popular in the first place. You will fear going into rooms and you will fear being caught. I can't say enough good things about this game. The graphics are great, pacing is great, scares are great. Overall a worthy purchase.

    This game is truly amazing. I Have played 1,2,3,4,5,6 zero, Veronica, and Survivor. I am pretty close to being able to say that Biohazard is my favorite Resident Evil game. The way the Bakers work in game and interact with you is incredible. The story is awesome IMO and at first you wonder how it connects to Resident Evil, but later in the game it sure delivers and explains that connection and has a great unforeseen unraveling. The Graphics and new RE Engine in this game is just mind-blowing and looks really well. I would highly recommend this game to any person regardless of if they are a Resident Evil veteran or not. I so far have beaten it twice for both endings and plan on playing it again for more of the achievements and things I missed in the first two playthroughs. I haven't checked out the newly released DLC's but i have heard they are fantastic so I am going to be diving into those shortly. Honestly, This game probably deserves a 10/10 IMO, and I hope they continue the rest of the games on a similar path as this, It made me more excited then 5 or 6 did. Not hating on those, they just didn't have a fear factor as this one did and "Resident Evil" in my opinion should always have a fear factor and you should always feel under powered or very cautious in these games. OVERALL GREAT GAME! I recommend!

    A Return to Form for the 'Resident Evil' series

    To anyone who thinks that "Resident Evil VII: Biohazard" would be a cheap rip-off of "Outlast" or even trying to replicate the success of "P.T" or so, Capcom was working on development of this entry years before the runaway success of the previous mentioned game / demo, and it stands on its own in true form. I have a few pros and cons worth noting on this game, but quick capsule review is fans of survival horror should definitely pick this game up. Pros: The game goes back to basics of exploring a mysterious estate and compel the player to be quick on their feet with deciding when to fight and when to run away. The game also scales back (in a good, big way) on the whole global anti-terrorism action that the Resident Evil series was starting to become more and more known for following the success of "Resident Evil 4." I say this was a nice feature because it makes you feel in a more realistic setting in a way, rather than playing as professional government agents armed with devastating weaponry and hardcore fighting skills. The story is genius in its simplicity with titular character Ethan coming to the Baker Plantation to find his wife long thought to be dead. The main antagonists, the Bakers, are also terrifying in their mannerisms and actions - and they are definitely more than meets the eye. What I was also pleasantly surprised at was how the Bakers are also sympathetic and some may even consider it tragic. Weapons in this game aren't too varied but that adds to the realism. Instead of being able to equip rocket launchers and bio-chemical weapons, it's back to simple guns and even homemade weapons that can be completely missable if you don't put the effort in finding and creating them. Ammo and health is also scarce and crafting becomes a necessity which can take up your very limited inventory space and makes you weigh out what the most important things to carry with you are. The fear is also very real: there are a few cheap jump scares (although they do work when they are done, so I do give credit where it is due), but the atmosphere is something that must be commended as even walking the long hallways of the main estate, the dilapidated old house, or the wide open yard make you feel as though anything could pop up at anytime. As I said before, if you enjoy survival horror and have longed to see Resident Evil show that they still know how to create an an intense horror game, this is a must buy. For those looking for a real challenge, there is a mode called 'madhouse', and it more than lives up to the name! Cons: Here's where replay value can be affected - the game is actually fairly short in the scope of open-world games. While I will say that this is by far not an open-world game (I almost thought it would be, given that it looked like it would be a giant mansion with other outer areas to explore beyond the main home), after replaying it about three times now I can see how familiarity can make it seem smaller when going through it again. Apart from the Bakers, there are only TWO main other repeating enemy types and I can see why people will not like that; there are also no zombies and it almost seems like a zombie-less (or other infected human type virus) game doesn't really deserve to be in the same series of RE. With the exception of the very, very end and one other completely missable newspaper, they never even allude to anything from the franchise. It's also worth mentioning that the end can also be a bit of a head scratcher. I still enjoyed it but if your thoughts dwell heavily on it it does seem a little strange. I will admit now that I didn't play "Resident Evil 6", so I may have missed some storylines if they were meant to bleed over into RE7. As I said in the positives, a lot of the global anti-terrorism elements were scaled back, but they definitely not removed completely. I think the game is broken up into two main parts - I won't spoil anything but I will say that up until you make an important decision is where the game's second half begins (in my opinion), and I think the second half is where the story begins to creep back up in that territory of trying a little hard with bio-terror elements. It doesn't go off the rails and it does explain everything that was going on in the first half but it still seems somewhat outrageous. While the cons don't seem to be that much, I know some of these are important to some people. There is also one last thing I wanted to mention regarding the main set of antagonists, but out of respect for people who are deciding on buying the game I'll hold off so as not to spoil anything. Great game, especially if you've been a fan of the franchise since the first one and have stuck with Capcom throughout. Survival horror is back and it is definitely worth all the hype.

    Just started playing but it is scary and a little difficult to find the items that you will need but that is the challenge! I still like Resident Evil 4 best of all and can play that over and over and over again - this game not so much. If I make it through to the end, I'll be content. Graphics are great and the sound is very good.

    I don't usually like games like this but the reviews and commercials drew me to it. I tried the demo before buying this game and it was fun which convinced me to purchase the full game. The last Resident Evil game that I played was RE 5 and I liked it but this game is completely different. Instead of being in 3rd person, it is in 1st person and it is more of a survival game than a action shooter. Full of jumps and scares and a intriguing story, it is a game worth trying...but with the lights on.

    Resident Evil 7 is a new and refreshing take on the series that has been in the gutter for so many years. The game is in first person this time around, and the creepy and highly detailed environments from the first few games have returned, but now in a beautiful 3d engine. You will be tormented and hunted by a infected family as you develop the story and make your way around their premises to new areas, and solve puzzles like in the originals. There are other enemies besides the family but unfortunately NO ZOMBIES. If there were zombies it would be like a beautiful 2016 first person version of the original RE. A very good and technically beautiful game. Just. Wish. It. Had. Zombies...

    I honestly do not go through games quickly, usually taking my time so as not to rush through too quickly and get my money's worth. However, Resident Evil 7 was too compelling. A return to the horror roots of the series long past, the game couples constant legitimate scares with fine gameplay and a good story that had me reading forums to uncover its potential layers. Play with the lights off and the sound up

    Long-time RE fan and I was way annoyed about the switch to 1st person. It actually ended up not bugging me that much though. The whole thing still feels very Resident Evil and is a lot of fun to play. I'm really impressed they managed to go back to a slower, scarier, feel without it being a bit boring, I didn't think they'd be able to.

    Great game. For the series they did a completely different approach. Its a first person survival horror which is different from the other resident evil games. It has an original feel to the series as far as bringing back classic puzzles. It really does a great job at making the player feel scared and helpless. Just when you think you have enough ammo to start guns a blazing, the game rips your confidence away. It's a great game. Everyone who is a fan can admire the game as something new and original.

    The game is very different than past Resident Evil games, but that is not a bad thing in this case! The first person feel for the game makes it even more scary than the usual RE franchise games. The story is great, but short. The mechanics of the game are kind of clunky, but that creates more tension! Overall, great game!
