Resident Evil 7 Review Roundup: What the Critics are Saying

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is right around the corner, and critics have had their hands all over it. Resident Evil 7 marks a return back to the series' roots, without the zanyness of Resident Evil 6's huge range of campaigns to play through. Set in a single house, the game also has VR Support for Playstation 4. Critics have been favorable to the new title, and it might herald a new era for the series which has struggled with its previous entries. We've trawled the internet for every Resident Evil 7 Review, and here are the best.

The Survival Horror title takes inspiration from Hideo Kojima's P.T, which was infamously canceled by Konami. Resident Evil 7 takes much of what P.T conceptualised and turned it into a fully fledged title. Resident Evil 7 was originally announced as 'Kitchen': A VR Demo that had your character trapped in a room as a mysterious presence wanders the room. We've played a demo of Resident Evil 7. Named Lantern, we were chased throughout the house by a woman with a lantern in VR. The Playstation VR is a huge innovation for the game and gives you the ability to peek around corners and make this survival horror feel more immersive than ever. Resident Evil 7 has so far seen to have little to no connection with every previous title's mythos. Here's a trailer:

I very much doubt we will see that Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield returning in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, so fans of these characters shouldn't expect an appearance. As a departure and return to the roots of the franchise, Resident Evil 7 couldn't be looking better than ever, and this is reflected in what critics have been saying about the game.

"One of gaming's great series moves into the future then, triumphantly reborn, and where it can go from here is anyone’s guess." -  Kotaku UK
