survival horror masterclass. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a horrifying, yet insanely fun experience that begs to be played in the darkest room in your home.
I played Resident Evil Village years ago, but for whatever reason I never actually finished this game. Going back and finally completing it made me regret my decision of not playing this sooner. By far the greatest thing about RE7 is it’s atmosphere, wandering the halls of the Baker house constantly kept me on the edge of my seat like no other game has before (except for The Dark Place in Alan Wake 2), i was absolutely bewildered by the fact that every time i thought i was about to reach the end of the house, somehow there was 2 houses worth of more land. While the story may be short, I still found it to be phenomenal. The franchises new protagonist, Ethan Winters, is just a regular joe-shmoe who wants to find his wife Mia, and somehow goes to every extent to save her. The Bakers are amazing characters as well, even if their actions in the game arent of their own will, they still manage to be compelling characters and terrifying antagonists. The main antagonist, Evelyn, doesn’t get too much screen time, but is instead built up through the files scattered around the home and the surrounding areas, creating a unique antagonist with a unique end goal of wanting a family. Over the years i’ve managed to become very desensitized to horror, especially horror of this type. But RE7 still managed to scare the shit out of me in ways that almost made me scream.
In short, not only is RE7 one of the greatest RE games i’ve ever played, it’s very likely one of the greatest survival horror games i’ve ever played, and maybe even one of the greatest games i’ve played in general.
