Resident Evil VII on PSVR is so intense that it is almost unplayable.

I made it through Madhouse difficulty in VR, in just over 20 hours. The stats state less then 14 hours, but those don't take manual reloading into account for better results with less resources lost, trying different crafted ammo, or turning it off after an hour of failed attempts and continuing at a later time.

The last fight against 2 fat molded (not the last fight in the game) is one of the hardest things I've encountered in games in a long time. The half minute reload and having to run all the way back for several minutes didn't help.

I recorded my last 5 attempts and stitched them together

Apologies for swearing during the 3rd attempt when reloading the gun failed again (did not notice the interupt again). I didn't know psvr records your voice too by default lol. I edited out the worse profanities during the game over screens :$ My controller survived RE7! It took almost 2 hours all added up together to get past this point.

Ofcourse the same day I finally make it, Eurogamer posts a knife only run on Madhouse in 3.5 hours....

I'll have to do it again if I want to get the platinum as I didn't find all the coins yet. However completing it on MadHouse unlocked infinite ammo, plus I'm doing a speedrun on easy now for the under 4 hour mark which should unlock the fast running shoes. And there's still an extra Essence of defense scroll to unlock that will help. I'm already nearly halfway on my speedrun after 1h30, not using medkits or the item box. So easy now after madhouse, you can outrun everything on easy!

Best game since Half Life thanks to PSVR, can't stop playing it.
