Resident Evil 7 Biohazard #HO | Bienvenido a la familia

When Capcom revealed RE7 at last year’s E3 2016, the reactions were mixed. I was one of the fans who supported the idea of the gameplay style being shifted from third-person to first-person. Today I beat the game for the first time and in VR mode, too. The game took me 9 hours and 5 minutes to beat in Normal mode, a pretty good length for a main Resident Evil game. But of course I’m here to tell you whether the game is worth the wait or not.
If you love RE Remake, then you will absolutely love and enjoy RE7 even more. Now don’t compare this game to RE4 or even RE2 when it comes to number of contents in the campaign but RE7 does contain some interesting enemies and boss fights. One of the boss fights felt like fighting against Salazar from RE4. The game featured some interesting puzzles but they felt simpler than RE Remake’s. RE7 is the goriest RE game and the second goriest RE game I can think of is RE4. Now keep in mind that I beat this game fully in VR, never even tried the normal mode to see how different the gunplay is from VR mode. In VR mode, aiming at enemies was super easy.
Speaking of VR, the visuals in VR mode were beautiful, clean and smooth. Kitchen demo in VR looked terrible, well, not really but if you recently played the Beginning Hour demo in VR and compare it to the Kitchen demo, then you’ll know exactly what I mean. The sound design for the game was amazing but when it comes to soundtrack, most of them were unmemorable and forgettable. Most of the soundtracks are ambient, yes, but remember how memorable the ones in both RE Original and Remake are? In RE7, I don’t remember any tracks but “Go Tell Aunt Rhody” and its save theme song.
Now, is the game scary? If you find RE Remake scary, then I can safely say that it’s on the same level, maybe a little less but still scary. There were moments where I panicked a lot and it was a lot of fun…in VR.
What about the story? Well, since this is a quick spoiler-free review, all I can say is that the story is very brand new, didn’t felt like a Resident Evil story, but I really, really enjoyed the story, though the ending did left me confused.
Overall, RE7 is a fantastic Resident Evil game. The story was brand new, the visuals were beautiful (especially in VR), the sound design was great but most of the musical tracks are forgettable. I really advice you all to NOT spoil yourselves, please do wait for the game to arrive on 24th January, avoid livestreams at Twitch or YouTube. Capcom really put a lot of effort into this game and I say well done! Like Undertale, it is a game you need to experience for yourselves.
Resident Evil 7 (VR) gets an 8.9/10.

So i got to play Resident Evil 7 and wow ! I can say this is actually the Resident Evil game i've been waiting for all these years. Despite the mix reviews for 5 & 6 (being having the most negatives than positives). Seems as if Capcom has been playing close attention to figuring out how to make this game right.. I felt like the REmake & RE0 Remaster was like a test to see how gamers today would respond and of course it brought us back home to the originality of Resident Evil. And now we have RE7. Now i will say this, i personally did not like Ethan's Voice.. It felt emotionless. When you are put into tough situation his voice isn't convincing enough to make you feel the struggle or what not. But the gameplay itself still leaves you on the tip of your toes. Jack Baker legit is one of my favorite villains of the game.. His character works so well and is filled with 100's of different dialogues as he chases you down. Without spoiling the game is filled with Easter Eggs & Honorable Mentions of Previous RE title to prove itself to be canon. I can say this.. The ending was surprising and made me think alot especially being that in the Resident Evil Universe ANYTHING can happen. Capcom you guys did a great job ! Although there was some stuff i was hoping you guys would add hopefully it could be done in the next one. Yes the game does have Moral Choices but personally i don't feel like they are as Strong as i hoped for them to be. Boss battles are FUN !!! If you guys are a huge fan of REmake you guys will def enjoy this. (please do not expect this to be a game where in every room your gonna go gun blazing because your not). The puzzles in this game we're good but kind of weak compared to REmake. But then again its okay kind of made it easy on the one's who are New to the Franchise.. I WILL SAY THIS !! The Final Boss fight was a bit of a let down in a sense the reveal was awesome but.. i felt it was the shortest out of all. Other than that i can honestly say this is legit my 2nd favorite Resident Evil game next to REmake.

Score: 8/10
Pros: Graphics / Story / Suspense / Everything Is 1st Person (even Cut Scenes) / Surprise Character Revealed / Plot Twist

Cons: Ethans Voice Acting was Weak / Plot Holes (maybe answered in upcoming DLC) / Final Boss Fight / Weak Moral Choices / the Smallest Amount of Enemies in RE History.
