At first, Resident Evil 7 seems like a far cry from series tradition, with its controversial new perspective, and preference for stealth. But having finished the game, and as long time fans of the Resident Evil series, we think it’s the best Resident Evil since 4, for the following, spoiler-free reasons.

While the early gameplay demos have focused on early portions of the game, which are more stealth-based, as the game goes on, it plays more and more like a Resident Evil game of yore.

The Baker plantation in which you find yourself after the house feels like a true heir to the Spencer Mansion in the original Resident Evil, with its hidden rooms, weird locks and numerous secrets, and the combat here is Resident Evil through and through.

Though it does have its jump scares, what it really excels at is creating an uneasy atmosphere that has you constantly on the edge of your seat. At one point I was so wound up that I legitimately got scared by my own shadow, and yes, my track record in this department is not great, but it’s good to see a horror game that is both scary and compelling like Resident Evil 7.

The game isn’t perfect. The last third of the game is notably weaker than the rest, there isn’t a huge amount of variety in the regular enemies you face, and it feels like some story threads were left unresolved. If you’re a fan of the series, though, or you just enjoy horror games and weird, compelling stories, then Resident Evil 7 is a fun, scary and compelling way to spend ten hours.
