I won't detail all the things that don't work in Resident Evil 7 because I don't want to waste any more of my time with it, but I will say that I think the only reason that many people liked this when it released is because Resident Evil 5 and 6 were such monumental pieces of garbage that capcom barely had to lift a finger to make a better game than those.
Honestly, there is such a gigantic difference in quality between RE7 and RE2 remake that I'm surprised they are from the same people, and I'm thankful the first game in the series that I played was the latter, because if my entryway had been RE7 I don't think I would have bothered to play any other resident evil.
