Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a 2017 survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. The seventh main installment in the Resident Evil series, it puts the player in control of Ethan Winters as he searches for his long-missing wife in a derelict plantation occupied by an infected family, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. Resident Evil 7 diverges from the more action-oriented Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, returning to the franchise's survival horror roots, emphasizing exploration. It is the first main Resident Evil game to use a first-person view.

Runs well on modern hardware.

This is probably my favorite game in the franchise and a perfect revival for it. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the focus on pure horror that Resident Evil had lost since RE4. The good: -The atmosphere is incredible, especially during the first half of the game in the Baker house. -A lot of people didn't like the switch to a first-person perspective, but for me, it increases the immersion a lot. -I really liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes of the game's theme. -The puzzles are cool, though they don't have a ton of depth. -The overall story is really good. -The graphics are amazing, especially for a game that is almost 10 years old. -Good optimization, played it on the second time on my rog ally and was flawless The bad: -The DLCs weren't that great in my opinion. End of Zoe was okay, but the Chris DLC (Not a Hero) felt like just shooting down corridors. -The extra game modes weren't very compelling either; they felt more like filler than actual content. -The boss fights are kind of meh. Honestly, I don't think Resident Evil games usually have great boss fights anyway, but in this game with the exception of maybe the first Jack Baker fight none of them felt that good to play through. Overall, this is an amazing game and a really solid experience for anyone looking for a great horror game or for long-time Resident Evil fans. Just don't pass it up just because of the first-person perspective like I saw so many people do.
The first hour is one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've had in gaming. I mean that as a compliment.
A terrifying return to survival horror. The first-person perspective, creepy atmosphere, and intense encounters make every moment feel dangerous. The Baker family is unforgettable, and the game delivers one of the scariest Resident Evil experiences ever.
