Resident Evil 7 Biohazard

I've played many of the Resident Evil games over the decades (not all of them, mind you, but many of them). Some were great, some were good, some were just okay, and some I just didn't like. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is one of the great ones in my humble opinion.

The visuals are very good, and together with the sound effects and background music creates a nice tense atmosphere throughout, just like it's supposed to be.

The story-line is interesting, enjoyable and well thought out, and playing a Resident Evil game of this quality in first person view is a nice touch which I really enjoyed.

A few events in the game might be considered quite disturbing by some, which is exactly what you want from a good horror game. I mean, what good is a horror story/game that doesn't make you feel just a little bit uncomfortable at times?

Is the game worth replaying? Well, yes... You might want to replay the game to find all collectible items if
missed any on your first playthrough, or to complete the game on higher difficulty settings. You might also want to take a speed run through the game (which I would recommend... hint... hint...).

I some other Resident Evil installments it was possible to collect weapons, gear, and supplies which could then be used in subsequent playthroughs. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is somewhat similar in this regard, but not exactly the same. Certain weapons and special items can be unlocked for use in all future playthroughs (once certain conditions have been met), but the regular weapons and items collected in game will not be carried over to future playthroughs. This is the one thing about the game that I don't really like... You might, for example, bend over backwards to obtain the powerful .44 Magnum in the game, but in a future playthrough you will have to obtain the .44 Magnum again from scratch. However, fear not... The special weapons and items which can be unlocked for all subsequent playthroughs are very good in their own right.

So, would I recommend this game? Yes. Absolutely. Both for Resident Evil fans, and fans of horror games in general.

Its is Amazing what Resident Evil should be, even better than Village, but Village is also amazing for casuals.

game good

Resident Evil 7 is a true return to survival horror! The atmospheric graphics, intense gameplay, and eerie story keep you on edge until the very end. Surviving the Baker estate is a real test of nerves. A must-play for horror fans!

Solid game for the most part, especially with the opening sequence with Jack, but does have some weaker areas throughout.

I just finished Village, so naturally I wanted to "continue" (for lack of a better word) with 7. Its much scarier than RE8, But I would say the gameplay and QoL in RE8 is better. Example: being able to smash boxes, Upgrade weapons, albeit a shallow system, it does provide the player with more options, and Duke <3. It certainly filled in some gaps that I had with finishing 8. Play em both though if you like spooky environments, simple but fun puzzles, and a pretty good story.

My first run-in with Resident Evil, and I can't thank it enough for that. Also, props for being the scariest Resident Evil game to boot.
4.5 shit pants out of 5

Good Game, brings many big funnies and big spookies, I like it when funnie man say "Welcome to the family son" 11/10

Favourite Resident Evil game. Loved the story, and the progression of the main character from naive rescuer to Rambo by the end.

I love this game! I first watched a let's player on YouTube play it and then really wanted to play it myself. It is so different from the other Resident Evil games, but with the same gore and and horror/thriller elements. Excellent game in my opinion.

Game would've been a lot easier if the Baker family didn't help Evelyn and just ate her like normal people. Eating children is the new big thing.

Best game of the serious and can not stress enough if u like it fps or horror or survivle game for sure play i swear you will not be disapointed.

Straight up. This is the BEST RE game i've played. My number 1 RE game by an absolute LANDSLIDE!!

Now for context, i have now played RE2, RE3, RE4 (Remakes) and Village, and this was the first ever RE game i played. And wow.. just wow.
This game had everything, the horror, the story, and the combat, i found all to be really fun.
The overall atmosphere of this game as a whole was incredible, the isolated house and the gross visuals mixed perfectly with each other, gave me hella Texas Chainsaw vibes. And i ADORE that film.

I personally think this game has some of the best enemies to date, now personally for me, Nemesis from RE3 is my forever favourite enemy in RE, but all the enemies and bosses in this game were all amazing, Jack was so cool, even though he spent most of the game as a normal dude and only became a proper monster in the end, he was still super cool, really enjoyed his character.
Margurite (however you spell it) was really scary, im not sure what it is about her voice but the way she yells is really scary to me. Also her boss fight, although not as badass as jacks, i found it really scary, her looks were so gross and icky. Just love it so much.
Lucas was also really cool, love how vulnerable he makes you feel throughout his section, being like this mastermind behind the scenes, also liked his monster design from "Not a Hero." Pretty rad stuff.

This game really just has everything for me, the music is so damn good, especially the credits theme, so good. Also just the simple plot twists they throw in is so damn good. I do really encourage people to play this, it isn't actually a bad RE game to start of playing, sounds weird i know considering this the 7th one in the series, but i found that this game made a nice little refresh to the series, and opens up a whole new era of the series, with all the mold stuff.

I really do encourage you to play this game, even if you aren't the biggest fan of Resident Evil, this makes for one hell of a horror game, visuals and sound are at their peak in this game. And if you want to be scared or grossed out, or just simply want to see some crazy family do some wacky shenanigans. Then this is YOUR game.

Good game, the start was the most terrifying part of all and becomes less so but with great pacing and scares. The story is a bit mid but overall a good experience.

Pretty good game but definitely not the best resident evil. Felt like way more effort went into house section than some others (boat) and game is way too short tbh

I love horror games, and I went through a huge list of horror games, yet I never played Resident Evil 7 until near the end of 2024, I finished a lot of RE games, but I never touched on the revival of the survival horror genre... and what a revival it was... This game is a damn masterpiece, all the references to some of the biggest horror movies ever are here and they managed to mix them all together coherently too! Most games would feel rushed or cheap for taking so many inspirations but RE7 knew what it had to work with and it sticks!

The perspective change is so good for this series imo, not that third person was bad, but I really love the first person camera, the shooting is rock solid, the puzzles are great but sometimes can take a few tries before you get it, there is so much room for replayability in this and so much content to go through! I loved all the dlcs and mini game modes it had to offer, besides the alligators in a certain dlc, whoever designed those, I have a quarrel with him IRL.
Resident Evil 7 is now my 2nd favorite Resident Evil game, 1st one being Resident Evil 4 Remake, and it's all because after I finished the game... I felt like I wanted to play it again, and again...

The Nightmare "Horde" mode was a breath of fresh air and very fun to go through, the BlackJack mode was hell but surprisingly fun too once you got the hang of it and finally conquer it, the other expansions add to the story even more, and while I didn't like that they somewhat retcon some things in the story, they were great! All I knew is that in one of them I'm Boulder Destroying Chris Redfield and I'm here to break stuff and with the other expansion I'm Joe Danger and I can clear anything out of my way with the good ol' one-two.

There are a few things which could very well annoy someone out of playing this game, like the damn crawlers, the bloaters, the various "Must Die" modes and even BlackJack can be very aggravating, but if you put the time to master these game modes you might have a lot of fun in the end, I always kept coming back for another run, even after I already beat it!
Joe must die though... I was almost going insane with that one... I even started playing BrodyQuest while I kept doing the same thing over and over again, expecting things to change.

I think this game is very polished in lots of areas though, and most importantly it's fun, it still feels like a video game and not some drama story meant to paralyze you when the credits roll, and that is why I think it's one of the best horror games out there nowadays.

Had the game on another platform, loved it so much I bought it again on Steam. Best RE game and the one that turned me into a fan. The DLC is also the best RE has made with lots of love to the characters, lore and backstory. Wished the RE village game had gotten similar extensive DLC as this one did. This is a true horror game and even going back to playing it and knowing the jump scares are coming it still scares me and the graphics hold up very well still in 2025, amazing atmosphere, solid soundtrack, 10/10 game.

RESIDENT EVII, or RE7, this game saved the resident evil franchise, and was a lot popular back in the day... i honestly was never totally attracted by re7, but i decided to play it and... it is very good, i really like the gameplay and atmosphere and stuff, it's a good resident evil... i liked it, it's good... here are the things i liked:
PROS:
i liked the variety, the game has variety in setting and even gameplay, but it does not lose atmosphere, the game is really solid and strong...
the gameplay is very good, gunplay is very satisfying and done well, exploring is very good too, i like the exploration...
story, i liked the story...
the beginning, one of the best things about this game is the beginning, the first hour basically, it's really cool and epic, i like a lot the beginning, is so energetic... both atmosphere and action, all perfect...
CONS:
here are some cons...
there are too few hide n seek moments, the game is famous for being a weird resident evil because it's very outlast or amnesia style, and i expected to deal with enemies that are invincible and they roam in the house, like alien isolation... but those parts were really, really few, the main house is the part where there is the roaming invincible enemy, but is way too short... this game is considered short, but i disagree the game is not that short, but the main house is waaay too short...
another thing i didn't like too much is the fact that... the game gives you a bit too much ammo in some parts, i love when the game feels survival, and you should be rambo only at the end, but there are some sections where they really give you too much ammo, but they are quite few at least...
the last thing i didn't like, too few puzzles... the puzzles are too simple and too few, i liked the birthday puzzle, i wish there were more puzzles so clever...

but i loved the game anyway, all the way to the end is really good... solid 8,5/10... but as a bonus, who i better, re7 or re8?... i think re8 is way better until you notice his weaknesses and it's charm go away, re7 is more solid, i think for me they are both at the same level, though re8 has more weak moments and points...

If you're a fan of Resident Evil it's definitely worth the go, especially if you get it on sale. The gameplay is great and the story isn't too bad either. Not to spoil it, but you do see a small cameo of a character from the franchise. Other than that one character all the others are new to the franchise. Plus the fact it's in first person makes it feel pretty fresh, too. Definitely get it on sale if it's up your alley.

8/10
Didn't understand the story but the game was really good nonetheless.

Extremamente desconfortante, no sentido bom de um jogo de terror, e deixa o jogador bastante ansioso a cada esquina e quarto que ele entra. História e gameplay muito bem desenvolvidas, personagens memoráveis, construção de cenário e gráficos maravilhosos. O jogo me perdeu um pouco no final, infelizmente. Levei 12h para finalizar, recomendo

Good horror, interesting characters, puzzles and boss fights.
I'm glad that the resident returned from action/shooter to horror.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard – A Terrifying Return to Horror

Resident Evil 7 brings the series back to its survival horror roots, delivering an intense and immersive experience. The first-person perspective adds a new level of fear, making every dark hallway and eerie noise feel genuinely unsettling. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the Baker family provides some of the most memorable and terrifying antagonists in the franchise.

The game balances resource management, exploration, and combat perfectly, keeping you on edge throughout. With stunning visuals, excellent sound design, and a gripping story, Resident Evil 7 is a must-play for horror fans.

This game is pretty scary, and fun! I won't spoil anything but some parts are CRAZY, only get this if you have played another Resident Evil title previously! Great Experience but for sure HARD. I got it on sale but after playing it, I feel like the $20 price tag is worth it! Also don't play in VR unless you want nightmares for 37 years and a half. (I'm joking but yes, VR is terrifying)

It's really weird how time flies, but even after all these years, RE7 is a brutally excellent game when it comes to atmosphere, the gameplay at first makes you feel like a hopeless survivor, but as you progress, the more badass you become, this is like my 10th playthrough, so the cracks in the AI and scripting are becoming too obvious for me, like for example, after you make it to the safe room next to the kitchen when you crawl under the floor, Jack mysteriously disappears, my first time around I didn't notice because Jack scared me shitless, and maybe because I made playing BO3 zombies offline, but the bosses and the enemies aren't that intimidating, just kind of annoying, especially the licker rejects, but if this your first time playing RE7, wait for the game to go on a discount (usually it dips to 15 CAD with all the DLC), and enjoy. This is also an old linear game with the RE engine, so it's very well optomized, I was able to run my RX 5700xt at 144 fps at max settings, but without RT, but I suspect my 3080 can run it with RT at that same frame rate.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard remains my all-time favorite in the series, and with the added content from Banned Footage Vol. 1, Banned Footage Vol. 2, and End of Zoe, it only gets better. The shift to first-person perspective reinvigorated the franchise, immersing players in a nightmarish experience of isolation and terror. The base game’s intense atmosphere, disturbing imagery, and pulse-pounding survival horror gameplay were already phenomenal, but the DLCs offer fantastic expansions. Banned Footage Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 provide tense, nail-biting side stories and challenges, while End of Zoe introduces a new character and an unforgettable, action-packed finale. These additions expand on the horror, offering more suspense, twists, and action, while deepening the mystery of the Baker family. If you're a fan of survival horror and the Resident Evil series, this collection is an absolute must-have. It’s a thrilling rollercoaster that never lets up!

I fell in love with this game. The realism, house, amazing villains and psychological horror/puzzle solving is amazing. Everyone should love this classic, its a comfort game frfr

wow. I even watched a bunch of spoilers and this game freaked me out. The atmosphere gives you a rotten feeling and every step you take feels dangerous. 9/10 because i got scared

No comment. Just go buy this game and you guys will totally enjoy its especially the Not A Hero and End of Zoe DLC. I just finished the main game and both of the DLC.

the story is so awsomeeeeee!!!!!!!

Played this when it first came out on Xbox and loved it, great story, chilling scenery and offers fun challenges. Awesome prerequisite to Resident Evil Village.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard – A Terrifying Return to Survival Horror

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marks a bold and thrilling return to the franchise’s survival horror roots. With its shift to a first-person perspective, intense atmosphere, and gripping storyline, RE7 delivers an unforgettable horror experience that stands out as one of the best entries in the series.

Story & Atmosphere

The game follows Ethan Winters, an ordinary man searching for his missing wife, Mia, in a seemingly abandoned plantation in Louisiana. What starts as a desperate rescue mission quickly turns into a nightmare as Ethan encounters the sadistic Baker family. The story is filled with mystery, tension, and unexpected twists, keeping players engaged from start to finish.

The atmosphere is one of the strongest aspects of RE7. The eerie, claustrophobic environment of the Baker estate, combined with outstanding sound design, creates an overwhelming sense of dread. Every creaking floorboard and distant whisper adds to the immersion, making players feel constantly on edge.

Gameplay & Survival Horror Elements

RE7 strips away the action-heavy gameplay of its predecessors and embraces true survival horror. Resources are scarce, ammunition is limited, and every encounter feels like a life-or-death struggle. The game encourages exploration and careful item management, reminiscent of classic Resident Evil titles.

The first-person perspective enhances the horror, making encounters with the terrifying Molded and the relentless Baker family even more intense. Jack Baker, in particular, is one of the most memorable antagonists in Resident Evil history, constantly hunting Ethan in a way that feels reminiscent of Nemesis or Mr. X but with a more personal and terrifying presence.

Graphics & Performance

Visually, RE7 is stunning. The RE Engine delivers highly detailed environments, realistic character models, and gruesome horror effects that enhance the game’s disturbing atmosphere. The lighting and shadows play a crucial role in creating a sense of unease, making every dark hallway a nerve-wracking experience.

Verdict

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard successfully reinvents the franchise while staying true to its survival horror roots. With its gripping story, terrifying atmosphere, and intense gameplay, it is a must-play for both longtime fans and newcomers to the series. Whether you're a veteran of the franchise or experiencing Resident Evil for the first time, RE7 is an unforgettable horror journey that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

Rating: 9/10 – A masterpiece of modern survival horror.

its a fun game and also difficult so you can try it out by buying it for 20 euros.i like it

A Fun FPS and Survival Horror, This game is relatively short but sweet game compared to its predecessors but in a good way hooking me in for the entire duration of my first playthrough. With the presence of unlockable though for completing certain challenges during your playthrough it invites you in for more providing a different experience in Madhouse that I look forward too after completing more challenges on my second playthrough.

excellent game, engaging story with interesting characters.

This game is one of my favorite horror games and I have beat the game on Xbox,pc, PlayStation, and other devices. It will always be my favorite

It brought the franchise back to its roots but with a different touch. The game balances good content with very few negative points, such as combat limitations and a lack of enemy variety. Other than that, it was excellent. It didn't promise much, but it delivered the best I could have expected, It was a great plot twist, worth my time and money, a rating of 8 out of 10! <3

Graphics are a major PITA to get looking halfway decent and the final boss fight was absolute garbage, barely even a fight. but the game was fun to play, i was genuinely scared several times, and all the DLCs are really fun so overall i think i have to give it a positive.
(end of zoe has the stupidest plot with great gameplay)

great game about being followed by your drunk redneck dad as your crackhead wife cuts off your arm and binladen sets up traps in the other room. 10/10

Funny enough, I replayed this after suffering through Resident Evil 6 and oh boy this game is still great as I remembered back in 2020. Resident Evil 7 is the perfect comeback to this franchise after having some really bad releases before 2017. This game holds a very special place in my heart, and it still does. Like most games I like, it's long, but never boring to me. I'm always invested from beginning to end. Almost like some of my favorite movies. The story to the game is strong, I really liked the (then) new characters, the bosses are one hell of a blast, the kills are brutal and fantastic, this game was absolutely fucking scary and I love it! My interest of this series came from watching Markiplier playing RE2 and I was wanting to give the games a try, so this was my first and I'm glad it was. Definitely on my top 3 favorites of the franchise along with RE4. (Either the OG or the remake) I'm so thankful the series kept on going while focusing more on horror, because we don't need another RE6 situation where it was only Resident Evil in name only. When I usually recommend people which game to play first if they're getting into the Resident Evil series, I'd recommend either this game, 2, and if they're curious, they can even try out 4. This game is great. Period. Instant 5 outta 5.

That was the scariest RE i have ever played. I almost shat my pants multiple times - especially in the beginning. The end is not as good as the main part of the game but still okay.

Definitely worth a shot if you're into horror survival games - and let me tell you; the horror doesn't come short.

If this game had a more memorable boss fight system and a better inventory and weapon system, it would definitely be a masterpiece.

gets alot of unwarranted hate. its great for being just the second First-person Resident Evil game since 2000. i do think it starts off strong but the second half is filled with twists that the first half hint at if you play to enjoy the story. RE7 and RE3/4 are the best games in the franchise (in my opinion) to start off with if youre new to the franchise. but 7 is valid dont buy into the hate deff get on sale

Juegazo. Cuando estaba en Venezuela lo quise jugar, pero como no tenía una buena PC o laptop para poder hacerlo, me conformaba con ver a mis youtubers favoritos jugarlo. Ahora ya casi 7 años después que salió al fin pude jugarlo. Y lo voy a platinar y lo voy a degustar y lo voy a exprimir lo más que se pueda. Mi niño interior está feliz.

I guess i should blame sony for this one but... no VR support is a stupid move. especially considering the psvr1 is outdated now and nobody would bother with that version of the game. The mod that adds VR to this game is a pain in the ass to set up if its even possible to get it working properly.

This was the 180 turnaround that the RE series needed after the miss step that was RE6. Still played the hell out of that one too but it just wasn't what fans of the series wanted or needed. The move into first person was a good thing in my opinion and the RE Engine is kind of GOATed at this point, to the point that the Silent Hill Remake basically copied it (which is a good thing)

I would recommend RE7 over Village as your first foray into the newer 1st person perspective iterations, it's scarier, more concise, and overall a better game. Give it a shot!

really fun!
perfecting this game traumatize me

still good tho, 9/10

Not just the best recent RE game, but also up there with the best survival horror games EVER.

Ironically, it feels less like an RE game, and more like a Silent Hill game. The opening hours are some of the best I have ever played. Genuinely scary. The third act falls off a little, but the first two more than make up for it.

This is legit the scariest game in the last decade, likely even more. Easily the scariest in the RE franchise.

A MUST HAVE for horror fans.

I just got this game and i absolutely think it's amazing. love the story, the objectives, the puzzles...and it's scary as hell. screamed a few times. scared my kid screaming xD. I don't even really like single player games, but this is a must have. Love the game and the community.

Just completed it on Normal difficulty.

Loved it from beginning to end! The atmosphere and the environment is masterfully crafted to give you shivers down the spine for the whole duration of the campaign. Game's supposed to be replayed with varied difficulties and game modes/alternative storylines so i think it's a very nice addition to an already very well made horror.

Some things i would have preferred would have been if the puzzles could be a little more difficult/interesting. They are quite easy if not trivial (turn shadow to the correct spot, insert themed key to themed door and so on).

Lots of exploration in a somewhat "limited" map made of different floors and secret areas was a very intelligent way of adding depth to the sense of discovery.

Not a fan of the "big bosses" at each and every zone but i don't know how would i have handled it better honestly.

First person view adds a ton of immersion to these kind of games and i really think i will play the previous RE games with the first person mod also.

Super addicting and well made game, it just keeps you playing it until you beat it and reveal the ultimate secret of the plot.

i HIGHLY recommend playing it with the HDR active, even if it turns the game much darker, it pumps up the atmosphere and tension SO MUCH.
