Resident Evil 7 is an outstanding horror-survival game for those who are into story rich games that involve puzzles and fighting.

The atmosphere created during the game is expectacular, You are in a constant tension during some parts of the game, but you can easily keep under control thanks to the implementation of weapons. During your gameplay you will encounter various characters that have a deep story into them.

The game itself has outstanding graphics, probabbly one of the best graphics out there in the market. Sounds are extremely realistic. Voice acting is precise, but at some parts of the game it really doesnt make sense, for example, you get your hand chopped of, and the charecter will say with a chill voice "♥♥♥♥". But anyways, Its still great.

This game isnt really scary jumpscare-wise but it does get tense at some parts, I dont know if its me or the game isnt really scary, but more about thinking and solving puzzles.

The game has some pros and cons, as every other game, I will list some pros and cons and I will get in deph into some cons below.

Pros:
→ Amazing Graphics
→ Outstandig Sound
→ Horror Atmosphere Builds Up Throughout The Game
→ You Will Lean About The Game's Story As You Play It
→ Story Rich
→ Long Gameplay (Took Me 10 Hours To Complete)
→ Great Soundtrack
→ Jumpscares
→ Amazing Cutscenes

Cons:
→ Game Can Sometimes Be Too Hard ↓
Some of the puzzles in the game require very hard thinking and exploring, I need to say I did have to look for help on the internet for some help during my gameplay as I gave up during some puzzles. Some parts of the game will require you to look through the whole house for one or more than one small object.

→ Gathering Resources Can Become A Big Challenge ↓
Sometimes you will be in need of certain resources such as ammunition, first aid kits or other requirements such as lockpicks. You will be constantly needing resources like this, for an instance, lock picks open a big amount of locked doors or boxes that will have assets inside them such as ammo. Ammunition will be a challenge to gather through your gameplay as it will come in small quantities and you will eventually run out of bullets.

→ Small Bugs and Glitches (Not To Many Nor Game Breaking)

Conclusion:

Resident Evil 7 is by far one of the best horror games i've ever played in my life, It has an amazing story and ending. You will learn about the story and everything that is going on throughout the game. If you enjoy playing horror games you will defenetively enjoy playing this one, it is well worth the money and you wont regret it. Don't be scared!

My ratings:
Story: 10/10
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 10/10
Puzzles: 8/10 (Some can be too hard)
Scare-Factor: 7/10 (It wasn't as scary as I expected it to be)

yes, madhouse is only for experienced players, but on normal difficulty the game is soooo much simpler, trust me, you will enjoy it

Yeah man I watched someone playing Madhouse and that was not for me! They just constantly follow you everywhere. Do the easier difficulties actually give you some time to figure things out? I've never even really played a survival horror game like Amnesia so I may be slow at the puzzles and shit.

I've played some of the older resident evils and they were not scary at all. They were super fun though.

Im glad it helped! I am currently on my third run at the game on madhouse difficulty, you unlock madhouse after beating the game with both endings.

It is pretty fucking hard tho!

I'm getting this pretty soon and I've never been a fan of scary stuff. Your review reassures me that I will be able to actually enjoy the game. I really want to like it and I don't want to be scared off by it lol.

Also, I'm pretty sure this game has a lot of replayability and that's what they're aiming for. I know I haven't played it yet but this is what I have seen mentioned in every review. So I have to disagree with that one guy in this thread. Also, ACG told me this is a must buy which means it's not overpriced.
