Where the first three numbered titles were fixed camera, the following 3 were over the shoulder, and Resident Evil 7 made the leap to the first-person view.
Released January 24th, 2017, Resident Evil 7 was seen by many as a return to the survival horror roots that the series strayed away from starting at 4. Resident Evil 7 shifted from 3rd person over the shoulder to the first person, and the development team decided to move to a more simple setting that until later in the game, was separate from the rest of the lore. It then plays its hand at the end of the game and uses the DLC to tie it all together.
Did it work out? I'd say it did. The game went back to its roots of survival horror and getting us to play the everyman Ethan Winters, a departure from previous protagonists in the story.
So let's dive into Resident Evil 7, now that it's been four years, and Resident Evil 8 is on the horizon.
This Resident Evil 7 review/retrospective/analysis/critique will take a look at what went right at Resident Evil 7, what went wrong, thoughts on the plot, missed opportunities, the DLCs, and more.
Spoilers (duh).
