I like Resident Evil. Aside from 4, I played every mainline game and some side titles (Survivor, Code Veronica X, Outbreak, Umbrella Chronicles). And now I'm playing RE VII.

I really liked Resident Evil 6, but I understand that a lot of people hated it, and it would be dangerous for Capcom to make a sequel with the same style. So, when I first saw the gameplay trailer at E3, I was very curious to see how a first person survival horror game, with focus on exploration would work as a Resident Evil title.

I'm about 3 hours in. So far, I really loved the graphics and the gameplay. It's tense, scary, and the sound effects are amazing. It's very creepy how the house keeps making noises, and you don't know when something will jump at you. I love Outlast, so I think the comparisons are inevitable, but I think they have enough differences. Also, the combat in RE7 is very good.

The puzzles and exploration are really enjoyable. I like to take my time and explore every place, and the game let you do it, since the enemies don't pop out of nowhere. I saw some people complaining about the game not having random encounters, but on the other hand, I'm enjoying it.

So, let's talk about the game. But please, avoid the following spoilers:

- Plot and Ending

- Puzzle Solutions

- Game length

Other than that, feel free to talk. I'm not going to spoil the details, but let's say I just found a "Scorpion Key" to open doors with a scorpion decoration.

Boy, I'm enjoying this game a lot. I'm even hyped for a future Resident Evil VIII.

Believe me, the Outlast comparisons ends rather soon, compared to where you are, and the game becomes more akin to the first RE than any other. More than it already is, anyways.

But yeah, its an excellent game and the game that brought Capcom back to form. It has its small flaws, which I cant talk about, but enjoy it because god dammit, its freaking great.

Yeah, I'm having a lot of "RE1 in first person" feelings already.

Great game. Really good setting and vibe. It suffers from one of the main problems inherent in survival horror though. You want the player to feel a sense of progression as the story goes along, but the more powerful the player gets, the less scary the game becomes. By the end I was feeling pretty comfortable.

Yeah, I was afraid at first that it will try to copy Outlast, but other than being set in 1st person it's nothing (luckily) like it. Its a masterpiece IMO and one of my favorite games of this generation.

Good point, but IMO that is mostly down to the third act. The Baker family is awesome but it does feel like they forgot a bit about them one time during development. Still, IMO they are arguably one of the best villains the series had seen up there with the Nemesis and Wesker. 

Oh, so you are just missing the masterpiece of the series.

This game is just great and the atmosphere is even better, gave me the feels of the original RE.

I played this on PSVR and it was easily one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. It was also terrifying to the point where I bought all of the DLC but I'm afraid to play it. Can't imagine playing it the normal way, now.

The PSVR on RE7 was something phenomenal, just fantastic and immersive.
