Resident Evil 7 is one of the greatest horror games I've played and also one of the best games I've played. This game was actually the first resident evil I played because I watched people on YouTube play it but I knew nothing about the series but I just got it because it was scary, When I first played it I was so scared that I stopped playing it for a few months but over those months I started to play the original games like resident evil 1 and 4 and started to understand the full story of all the games, even the ones I haven't played. But I finally beat it a few weeks ago and I was so proud of myself because it wasn't just a scary game but it was also a really enjoyable action and puzzle game. But now let's get to the story. You play as a character named Ethan who comes to an old house that was claimed to be aboandond in Louisiana after his wife Mia who has been missing for 3 years sends him a message to go there, Ethan then goes to the house and finds his wife but there is something wrong with her, but it turns out that she was trying to escape the house from a crazy family called the Bakers, they seem to be demented by some sort of demon and they can't be killed until you kill the virus that they are infected by, you roam around the mansion trying to escape and solve puzzles while the bakers try to kill you, but you don't just want to escape by yourself and leave yourself and your wife Mia. That's all I'm going to say about the story before I get into any spoiler territory. So now let's go over the gameplay and how I feel about it. This is the first resident evil game to be in a first person point of view unlike the first 3 games that were an angled perspective view and the 3 games after we're 3rd person behind the shoulder. I like how they made this game first person because it makes it more terrifying for the serting that you are in. Also the reason this game is loved by everyone is because it feels like a resident evil game because the 2 games before re7 were action shooter games witch the long time fans didn't like because resident evil was originally a horror game where you fight to survive and try to reserve scarce ammo and medicine. So this game was a revivsl for the series. While you progress through the game you have to search around for ammo but each gun you get takes different ammo. Your weapons also aren't over powered, they can't kill the baker family they only stun them for a few second so you can runaway from them, so sometimes it's better to run away then to fight. But you can kill the zombie creatures in the game but you have to pump plenty of rounds into them to kill them, this is why the game is so scary. It might sound hard but it actually makes for a more terrifying experience and also a more fun one, I really like it. You also have to heal in the game if you take any damage, so you have to find herb, a green plant that looks useless but is really important, you can ether take it on your own or combine it with chem fluid to make it stronger. That's also another very good thing about the game is your inventory space. You have a limited ammount of inventory space so you can't carry everything and makes for a more balanced experience, but you can combine items to make something but it also leaves and open slot for inventory space, but you can always store your inventory in the box at the save room. I also like this gameplay feature too. But the last thing I want to say is that this game can be really gory at times and there is language throughout the game but it isn't bad. So my final rating for this game is a 10/10, I love everything about this game from the gameplay and the story. This game makes you feel terrified and gives you anxiety at times, so if you have bad anxiety and don't like to be scared then this game is not for you bust if you like a challenge then this game is a must by. I hope this was a good review and thanks for reading it.
