Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

Drops the macho man pineapple muscle slabs of beef characters we have been getting and replaces it with gooey gross nonsense. Thanks to P.T. we got one of the best RE games in over a decade.

The first horror game I've played that I thought did horror well in a really long time. As is usual for Resident Evil, the horror sort of falls away the further you are into the game, but it's still a fun experience throughout. The early parts do a great job of blurring what is a scripted sequence and what isn't and keep the Baker family really surprising.

My favorite game of 2017. A huge surprise, and a very welcome to return to survival-horror form for Capcom. Can't wait for whatever is next.

A brilliant first act which was almost ruined by an avarage at best second half with unnecessary expositions and nonsensical plot. Luckly it all compensates in the end and has some ties to the series lore. The free "Not a Hero" DLC is also pretty neat

of course, the whole "evil little girl" and the "new" perspective aren't really that revolutionary in any sense...but there's still that special RE charm of exploration, solving (way too simple) puzzles and a whole lot of backtracking (because yeah...inventory). But it's all working in favor of great locations and level design, where other games just have you rushing by, here you'll take it all in and then some. real "horror" is still basically non-existent ever since RE4, though.
