It begins with you watching a couple of video messages from Mia, the wife of the protagonist, Ethan. Resident Evil 7 changes all of that, and it starts with a completely different perspective. It left a sour taste in the mouths of fans. It was about action and destroying a global empire, where super-powered creatures were commonplace, and it culminated in Resident Evil 6, which felt like a fantastical action game that couldn't have cared less if the player was scared or not.
#RESIDENT EVIL 7 REVIEWS SERIES#
It was awesome.Īs more games in the series were released, the more it strayed from its original essence. Instead of a story about survival, you uncovered a dimension of dark science, where chemical engineering went horribly wrong under the watch of a fictional super-corporation. Part of the brilliance was how the game seemed to organically grow into "action terror" while layering story elements onto the experience through cinematics, dialogue and notes. There were perfectly timed jump scares, like the famed dogs-through-the-window sequence. You saw gruesome zombie-like creatures doing terrible things and absorbing your hard-earned bullets if you aimed for the center mass. One of the great fears in a Resident Evil/survival horror game is the fear of not having enough stuff. If you were used to grabbing clips of ammo with 30 rounds at a time scattered all over the place, you were probably disheartened as I was to find like, five bullets after searching this creepy house for an hour. You had to learn tactical thinking, mostly because your resources were so limited.
It took the basic "haunted-house" dynamic and stacked a deep story and gameplay ideas on top of it.
