Resident Evil 7 Biohazard brings back the glory of horror and excitement but is dragged down by a cliche story, easy puzzles, limited enemies, and overstretched game time.

Resident Evil 7 sets new standards for the horror genre. It is one of the most brutal, most terrifying games ever and has a carefully thought out story with epic boss fights. If you want an unforgettable gaming experience this is it!

At first I was a bit sceptical about this new game by Capcom, but after a long session, I can tell you I really enjoyed it. Even if it seems completely disconnected from the previous Resident Evils, and there is no mention of any famous character of the saga, this game keeps the main features of the brand. The first person view makes everything scarier, engaging the player in that perfect rhythm made up by the gameplay. If you’re fans of horror video games, you must play it. Capcom succeeded on its purpose, giving a fresh restart to Resident Evil saga.

Resident Evil VII: Biohazard proves that this series is still an important franchise. Excellent atmosphere, memorable characters, many classic elements and a good story make this game a candidate for the best horror of the year 2017.

There has not been a Resident Evil that we have managed to connect with in a long time. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard has changed all that. All the puzzles, all the scares, and the fantastic feeling you get while playing the game. It is a horrific, in all the right ways.

The changes have been a long time coming, but the final result may well have given us one of the best horror titles we are likely to see this year…finally bringing the horror back to Resident Evil.

Resident Evil 7 doesn't reinvent the Wheel but delivers enough gameplay Features and Horror-Elements to get Oldschool Fans back to the series. It's also probably the best PlayStation VR Game so far.

Für mich steckt im siebten Ableger der Resident-Evil-Reihe zu wenig Identität. Der erste Teil der Serie war absolut bahnbrechend und damals orientierten sich die Entwickler anderer Spiele am herausragenden Werk Capcoms. Heute wirkt es leider so, als habe man sich einfach an allen anderen Genre-Vertretern orientiert und das Beste daraus übernommen. Die Hetzjagd mit Jack wirkt sehr nach dem Katz-und-Mausspiel aus Alien: Isolation oder einem Amnesia. Später bedient man sich munter an SAW und Until Dawn, während der Schlussabschnitt wieder an das vermurkste Resident Evil 6 erinnert. Leider fehlt mir der rote Faden: Die Bakers sind zwar super und geben der Reihe eine Grundlage dafür, wieder zu alten Wurzeln zurückzukehren. Leider verpasst es Capcom aber, gleichzeitig auch die herausragende Vorlage zu nutzen, und strauchelt selbst schon während der ohnehin relativ kurzen Spielzeit darüber, dass sie wohl selbst nicht ganz genau wussten, was sie mit dem siebten Teil der Reihe anstellen wollten. Trotzdem überzeugen die ersten Spielstunden in einem besonderen Maße, sodass jeder Fan des Genres bedenkenlos zugreifen kann. Für Besitzer der VR-Brille stellt das Spiel ohnehin eine Killerapplikation dar.

Resident Evil 7 is a good game. It’s not a masterpiece but it’s better than Resident Evil 6.

The plot is an interesting and very much a Resident Evil story but the biggest difference between this Resident Evil and previous versions is the first person perspective.

Resident Evil 7 feels like a breath of fresh air for a stagnant series. Its perspective change makes all more engrossing and emphasizes what makes Resident Evil relevant even after 20 years.

Despite its impotent story, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a wonderful return to form that old-school and new-school fans of RE alike of RE should not miss.

Resident Evil 7 is an entry in the franchise that will keep you in the edge of your seat, achieving this through its atmosphere and tension. The camera's first person view is highly effective, you always feel closed in and claustrophobic, it makes you feel that sensation to turn back "just in case"!
