not really that excellent of a number but the reception to RE 7 has been extremely positive so hopefully the game has good legs.
I have yet to play it but have heard great things about it reviving more of a classic gameplay vibe, with more of a horror/puzzle vibe rather than the awful recent installments that were just run and gun
RE 4 showed how good a game could be if you combine the right balance of action and puzzles. I do like the concept of RE 7 being like the original and sort of stuff in a building or limited area (estate, whatever). When a game can provide a ton of hours of fun despite being so limited in terms of surroundings, that's really impressive
