I''d like to point out that way back in October, 2010, my article named "How to make Resident Evil 6" pretty much had listed all of the things that needed to come back, as well as the additional suggestions at the last paragraph. And they implemented my remarks into the next title.
Capcom has done it again, they have re-invented their horror franchise,while making sure that veterans as well as newcomers will both be delighted by Resident Evil 7's pacing, creativity, game design and more.
Observed from a first person perspective, and also entirely playable into a terrifying new level of fear by the use of PlayStation VR, you play as Ethan, who goes after his missing wife at the Baker's estate. Soon you will learn that fear will even shape up into the form of a redneck family in Louisiana.
The survival horror has finally returned after recent hectic action horror entries. Herbs, safe rooms and scarcity in the form of ammunition are returning elements of the classic Resident Evils, and 7 implements them nicely together in this new perspective.
Molded creatures dwell in the estate's dirtiest rooms, and they will be a formidable and intimidating group of foes at first, while the main event is of course facing of against the Baker family throughout the location, each one bringing something new to the table and to the gameplay itself.
With 60 frames per second, the game plays fluent and smoothly, but the intensity, suspense and horror are not sacrificed. Instead, it draws upon it's predecessors, borrows inspiration from movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and creates something refreshing.
It feels like Resident Evil is full circle again, and there are some surprise moments awaiting, not just for the unfolding story, but for veterans of the series too. With references and a pacing that was excellent until you were exploring the big boat, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is almost a great video game.
If the final boss wasn't so over the top in a bad way and if the game had more enemy variety then it would be included in my top 3, but the series has seen so many masterpieces already, such as REmake and Resident Evil 4, that it's tough.
In any case, they could easily improve on this new formula with Resident Evil 8, but for now, let's see what the december DLC Not A Hero will include, and let's also not forget to keep our sights for the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake.
