Critic Reviews
- My feelings about RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard are almost perfectly summed up by the opening moments of booting the game. Before you reach the game menu, there's this opening cinematic that plays set to a cover of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody." Choosing a centuries old folk song that has decidedly creepy vibes is a really inspired and evocative song choice, but this performance of it is so melodramatic and over-the-top that it loses all of its impact. Looking back on my time with RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard, it's fairly easy to see this pattern of excellent decision-making getting kneecapped all over the place. It makes for an uneven, and sometimes frustrating--experience, but one that is nonetheless easier to enjoy than its less-inspired counterparts on the App Store.
Campbell Bird · Aug 09, 2024 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - Resident Evil 7 biohazard on iPhone 15 Pro is Capcom’s best conversion yet in the series, but it isn’t perfect. A bit more optimization would go a long way, but this is finally a game I can recommend on iPhone without big caveats. It is even good to play with touch controls now, but something like a Backbone or Razer Kishi will give you the best experience. I also love being able to take my progress to my MacBook Air and continue playing there. Resident Evil 7 biohazard gives me hope that we might see a similarly performing port for Resident Evil 2 Remake whenever that arrives on iPhone 15 Pro. Until then, this is Capcom’s best Resident Evil port on iPhone by a big margin, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard itself is an excellent entry in the amazing series.
Mikhail Madnani · Jul 08, 2024 Reviewed on iOSRead full review - The fact that Resident Evil 7 performed so poorly when other cloud entries have been comparatively strong really brings home the fact that, although mileage may vary, these issues are completely out of your control.
Ollie Reynolds · Dec 20, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full review - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard always faced an uphill battle in comparison to the two other PS5 upgrades, and the mountain has proven too much. While the game looks and runs better, it's still a long way off Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3. It's like playing a really good-looking PS4 game rather than something native to PS5. Still, at least the game itself remains a cracker.
Liam Croft · Jun 20, 2022 Reviewed on PS5Read full review - Resident Evil 7’s final round of DLC feels like a step backward. While both Not a Hero and End of Zoe are competently built, they replace the genuine horror and more nuanced characters of the main game with schlocky action and dumb wish fulfillment. The worst thing that can be said about Not a Hero and End of Zoe is that they leave me feeling uncertain about the future of the series. Let’s hope Capcom hasn’t already forgotten how to do Resident Evil right again.
Nathan Birch · Dec 16, 2017 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full review - There’s an interesting story, some fantastic gameplay, mind-bending puzzles, lovely graphics, and the best use of VR I’ve seen in gaming yet. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the exact kind of revival that fans of the classic entries in the series were hoping for, without alienating fans of the more action-focused later entries either. It’s an amazing early highlight into what’s looking like another fantastic year in gaming.
Samuel Guglielmo · Feb 05, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Resident Evil 7 has a strong opening, a sagging middle, and a disappointing finale. In other words, it hews closely to the arc of most horror. But to Capcom’s credit, this Resident Evil is taking pages from books it hasn’t previously read. I’m not convinced it understands those pages, but at least it’s attempting something other than the usual roiling mass of black goo with bright orange weak points you have to shoot.
Tom Chick · Feb 05, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is the best thing to happen to this series in more than a decade, and shows that you don't always have to follow the same drummer as everyone else to make something special.
Luke Brown · Feb 03, 2017 Reviewed on PS4Read full review - Going into Resident Evil 7 I was skeptical that it would not fit into the series. It felt like a new direction that didn’t capture what I had come to know it for. After playing through it, I couldn’t have been more wrong. This game epitomizes what a Resident Evil game is, and has revitalized a series I grew up adoring.
Ken McKown · Feb 01, 2017 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - For a time, it seemed that Resident Evil might be on its way to becoming a franchise that only set out to appeal to its existing fan base. But much like Resident Evil 4 before it, Resident Evil 7 is definitive proof that this is not the case. It’s a great game that’s bustling with creativity, and it’s a gripping experience whether you’re a fan of the horror genre or otherwise.
