Destructoid- 10/10
Resident Evil 7 went beyond my expectations, and I feel we have an instant classic here. I want to jump back in right now, and I have a feeling I'll be doing so for years to come.
However you play it, Resident Evil’s back. Completely different and yet instantly familiar. Compared to the bloated action of the last few installments this is literally a Resi revelation, executing modern horror ideas, interesting characters, locations, and a fantastic atmosphere to create something that can stand proudly among its sources. It’s about as an essential a horror experience as you can get.
Resident Evil is back, and I’m already hungry — starved — for more. It’s good to be home again.
I loved nearly every second of my time with “Resident Evil 7”. Capcom clearly took their time and really honed in on what makes “Resident Evil,” well, “Resident Evil” and I think all of the major changes they made paid off.
It's hard to know if Resident Evil 7 will stand the test of time as much as classics like the original, or RE4. Taken on its own, however, it's an excellent game that pushes the series in worthy new directions.
Comfortably the best Resident Evil in years.
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.
(translated) Hard to believe, but Resident Evil VII is above all an elegant and precise game.
(translated) Nevertheless, it is a return to the origins as far as the sensation of terror that transmits, that one that never should have left.
Resident Evil 7 might be the first must-own game of 2017. Resident Evil is back—and I don’t think it gets better than this.
A welcome addition to the series.
By returning to horror, Resident Evil has once again become something special.
Resident Evil 7, by contrast, is a masterclass: breezily new, yet quintessentially in character with its illustrious forbearers.
(translated) Tense, sharp, intelligent, direct and traditional. You will definitely like it if you're a fan, and it will show the newcomer why Resident Evil is on so many gamer's pedestal.
Resident Evil 7 features just the right amount of modern twists mixed into the traditional formula. It may not reach the same heights as an industry-changer like Resident Evil 4, but it certainly ranks among the best entries in the series.
(translated) We are sure that in a few years Resident Evil 7 will be remembered as a milestone of this franchise.
With RE7, Capcom has delivered a refreshing return to horror, saving face and the franchise by focusing on a tight single-player experience.
(translated) It offers the change of direction that Resident Evil needed, again into terror, exploration and puzzles, moving away from action.
But, my word, this is very, very good horror.
Pure Playstation - 9/10 *some spoilers in the review towards enemies & weapons, heads-up*
Old schools fans of the franchise will love this outing and is a perfect opportunity for new fans to hop on board. Just don't burn the midnight oil alone.
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.
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.
(translated) Resident Evil 7 will make you fearful with a smile.
Representing a T-Virus level shot in the arm for Capcom’s venerable survival horror franchise, Resident Evil 7 combines old and new alike to create the most essential entry in the series since its fourth core instalment.
Either way, Resident Evil is back.
But given how atmospheric, tense and arresting Resident Evil 7 is, it’s hard not to recommend it.
Whatever happens next, Resident Evil 7 is the best horror game in years.
That's how Resident Evil 7 gets under your skin, and I was pleased that this palpable and pervasive sense of tension seldom let up.
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.
Resident Evil 7 is a fantastic game that ought to please those looking for scares and fervent Resident Evil faithful alike.
Its constant changes of pace, intense action and genuine terror make Resident Evil the most enjoyable horror game I’ve ever played. Is it the best Resident Evil game? No, not quite, but it’s very close.
The Baker family is terrifying and spending time trapped in their home is damned good horror. As a new direction for the franchise, returning to an old one seems like it was a great idea.
(translated) Resident Evil 7 is, above all, a good Resident Evil.
I truly believe that this is one of the best Resident Evil games since the original.
It’s by far the best AAA survival horror game we’ve seen in quite some time.
(translated) This seventh installment is perhaps the true "Rebirth" of the series. A wonder of horror, quite simply!
A fun, chilling and tense experiment, but an experiment nonetheless.
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard marks a return to form for the series and it may bring back the once “dead” series to a place where it rightly belongs…a place where it first sowed the seeds of a rich and taxing survival horror game.
Resident Evil 7 is currently one of the best and most intense horror games!
Resident Evil 7 gives the feeling of opening a new chapter for the series. A game perhaps imperfect, but that will mark you of its imprint.
(translated) By the end we were left savoring for more.
(translated) Resident Evil 7 updates an ancient formula effectively, and does so with a penalty and an unexpected courage. It is more than a return: it is a new beginning. The dawn of a horror that we hope not to end.
At its very best, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a barnstorming survival horror with some truly brilliant boss fights. 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.
Short but oh-so-sweetly sick, Resident Evil 7 rewrites the series formula to nerve-shredding success, with PSVR integration only adding to the immersion.
(translated) Gameplay pulls you in like a sinking swamp near Bakers Plantation. Bravo, Capcom!
(translated) We have enjoyed Resident Evil 7 very much, a very funny and rounded horror adventure that recovers the key elements of the first installments of the saga, but at the same time modernizes the formula without losing its essence.
Resident Evil 7 is far more than the muted "haunted house" trailers have been leading us to believe. It's not a fright-fest, but rather a macabre celebration of everything the series has accomplished to date.
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.
(translated) Beyond smudges all things considered negligible, there is little left to criticize Resident Evil 7, which is in effect a break with the recent past of confusion and missed opportunities. We can finally say it: Resident Evil 7 is a brilliant new beginning for a series that now really know where to start.
Resident Evil 7 has redefined survival horror for the franchise.
Go 4 Gamers - 9/10 *WARNING: REVIEW HAS MAJOR SPOILER INFO & SCREENS*
Resident Evil 7 is one of the strongest games in the series.
At last Resident Evil is back!
(translated) A great new beginning for the series, which will appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers, and confirmation of how, in an increasingly dominated by multiplayer securities market, may still be room for large productions single player. In short, a success.
(translated) Clearly Resident Evil at some of its finest..
(translated) Hit the jackpot in horror.
To all Resident Evil fans out there, I say welcome home. You’re going to enjoy your stay with the Bakers.
(translated) Precisely for this Resident Evil Biohazard 7 can be recommended without delay or to those who approach for the first time in the series, both to those who have gutted every chapter of the saga.
I had a really great time making my way through Resident Evil 7.
(translated) Capcom has finally proved without a doubt that they are able to move forward with the chain for the first time since the spiritual father of the series Shinji Mikami out, congratulations to them.
