In the Resident Evil games of yesteryear, players braced for fear in the first-person via the creepy door-opening scenes, and Resident Evil 7 ramps up that tension with an immersive first-person view and a photorealistic graphical style. Capcom is able to achieve a higher degree of visual fidelity thanks to the new proprietary in-house RE Engine that includes VR oriented tools. With the RE Engine plus industry leading audio and visual technologies, you experience every abhorrent detail up close and personal in Resident Evil 7. Playing the game in the PlayStation VR Mode escalates the unsettling feeling of presence to a level that horror fans have never experienced. The full gameplay experience is available in the included PlayStation VR Mode from beginning to end. No Resident Evil you’ve ever survived could prepare you for this. [Capcom] Expand

    I really don’t have any gripes with Resident Evil 7. The story hooked me, it’s beautiful to look at, and the gameplay is new and refreshing with sprinkles of homage to franchise signatures… whats not to like?

    Resident Evil 7 changes direction from previous games. It goes back to its survival horror foundations: puzzle solving, exploration and avoiding enemies instead of confronting them. It feels great even for newcomers. And it is also the best game anyone can try on PSVR.

    Capcom has finally done it. It put Resident Evil back on the map as a survival horror force to be reckoned with. At times unbelievably scary, Resident Evil VII is a relentless first person roller coaster ride that brings the goosebumps and washes the bad taste left by previous entries in the series out of your mouth.

    Resident Evil 7 stands at the forefront of immersive first person horror, proving itself to be far more than the P.T knock-off that the demo initially suggested.

    In its current form, Resident Evil 7 is a damn fine game. Damn, damn fine. Although it initially looks like a desperate chase for Outlast‘s credibility, it slowly reveals itself to be more of a traditional Resident Evil adventure than one might believe, while taking successful elements from contemporary horror games and utilizing them effectively...After Resident Evil 6, this is exactly what the series needed. Both a change of pace and a return to long-neglected roots, it thrills me to say that, for the first time in a long time, Capcom is on the right track.

    It's hard to imagine a more effective revolution of a storied franchise. Resident Evil 7 makes us want to be scared while we discover the secrets of an old mansion. The visit in the Baker's house is sufficiently short to leave you terrified and patiently await the next Resident Evil.

    Casual players aren’t touching something with a “7” in the title (nor is it clear will newcomers). Fans of action-angled survival horror like Dead Space or Dying Light may balk at the game’s deliberately poky controls and too easily grasped opponents. Old-school fans seem like the obvious target. But survival horror is a crowded space in 2017, and too much of what Resident Evil 7 is up to we’ve seen elsewhere — and done better.

    After the abysmal RE6, Capcom at last listened to fans, with an episode that truly goes back to the serie’s roots! Puzzles, keys, storageAfter the abysmal RE6, Capcom at last listened to fans, with an episode that truly goes back to the serie’s roots! Puzzles, keys, storage boxes, save rooms, scary atmosphere.. there are many things that recall RE1, while managing to stay fresh with a stunning new FPS game engine. It’s also the most terrifying and brutal game in the series yet ! While not as revolutionary as RE1 and RE4 in their time, RE7 is a great evolution for the series and an epic horror game! Expand

A few setbacks: did not love the clown/puzzle/birthday cake stage, found it mostly annoying and out of place. Also a bit frustrating getting forced to play as other characters that lack your ammo & weapon upgrades. Otherwise overall I felt this was a great return for RE. Gorgeous & spooky locations, intensely fun action, worthwhile collectibles, decent upgrade system, beautiful & haunting... Expand

    nesse gênero. O jogo é excelente, falar que o jogo não é bom e tremenda burrice tudo na vida está em constante mudança, se agarrar no saudosismo é uma tremenda ignorância.
