Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Reviews
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.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a true return to form, and one of the scariest games in years. It’s only let down by the fact it loses its fear factor by slightly outstaying its welcome.
Resident Evil 7 is bold and ambitious, but it takes all the right risks with an intellectual property that has desperately needed a shot in the arm. It’s unnerving and unsettling, but is the satisfying return to form Capcom worked so hard for.
Resident Evil 7 is the close-quarters fright fest that suspense junkies crave
Despite some small niggles – such as stealth being so rudimentary it feels redundant, and the aforementioned uninspired late-game location – this is the best horror game since Creative Assembly's wonderful Alien Isolation. It's best if players slowly creak open the game's doors themselves, discovering the story and set-pieces on their own, as this is an experience that works best when it's free to surprise you, like a rotting doberman crashing through a window.
At its very best, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a barnstorming survival horror with some truly brilliant boss fights. Granted, the game isn't always able to maintain its own high standards, but it eclipses its abysmal predecessor with ease. While it borrows ideas from a variety of different sources, it manages to feel both original and old-school all at the same time. And even though fans are likely to be divided by the release's direction, make no mistake: this is the change that the series has needed for quite some time.
After spending years yearning for Resident Evil to return to survival horror, Capcom has done so in absolute style. The switch to first person works wonders for the series and we have a game that feels completely fresh while at the same time has so many moments that will lead series fans to reminisce.
Despite being a reboot for the series, Resident Evil VII’s return to survival horror is both familiar and fresh, and it’s easily the best horror game in years.
Resident Evil 7 goes back to the origins of the series: a game which preserves the legacy of the first trilogy. Resident Evil 7 is a masterpiece, an infernal trip full of terror and fear.

“RE7” marks the return to form for the long-running series. This is the best “Resident Evil” game since “RE4.” It combines scares, puzzles and gameplay, and its inclusion of VR is a bold choice that pays off for those who want to experience the scares on another level. Even if it doesn’t quite stick its landing, “RE7” is one of the best mainstream horror games in a long time.
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.
Resident Evil 7, Capcom is a scary return to form. It brings out the best qualities of the series.
A unique experience and a welcome change after the 6th game in the series. This is a game that combines what we loved about Resident Evil when it first came out, and a different prespective that adds another dimension to the horror, combat and exploration. This is a great and unique horror game whether you only enjoyed the first few installments in the series, or played through the whole series, or didn't play it at all.

A must-buy for horror gaming fans, HDR TV owners, and PSVR owners.
As mudanças feitas são uma nova forma de encarar survival horror, a evolução natural de uma franquia com mais de duas décadas de existência e também uma alteração necessária para que Resident Evil se mantenha relevante. Se você em algum momento você foi fã da franquia, mas ficou desiludido ao longo do caminho, está na hora de voltar ao lar.

It’s true, Resident Evil VII does feel like a magpie – snatching little bits and pieces that catch its eye from horror games across the past decade. Throughout the game, you’ll see chunks from Amnesia, Outlast, P.T., Silent Hill 2, F.E.A.R, and more. But, despite this patchwork, there is one game it feels like most of all – Resident Evil. REVII gets the roots of the series right, and it’s the scariest RE game we’ve played in years, and also the most substantial VR experience money can buy for PlayStation VR.
Resident Evil 7 is the most fun I've had where my heart's longevity was seriously in question. It's genuinely frightening and thrilling,
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.

Overall, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is a worthy successor to the series and the game we have all be craving if you’ve been a fan since the original game. It’s incredibly scary, creepy and chilling and yet I cannot stop playing, opting to face my fears than run away. The game gives me no excuses to stop playing and I love it. While there isn’t much longevity past the story I truly believe that this is one of the best Resident Evil games since the original
If you're a fan of the franchise, or of horror in general, Resident Evil 7 is a must-buy purchase.
