I think RE7 is one of the best entries in the series. Exploring the Baker house was incredibly memorable, especially with all the puzzles scattered around the place. The boss encounters were genuinely challenging, and I still remember them vividly.
I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay for the characters. You can really feel the tension and scarcity of resources while playing as Grace. The developers also did a great job with the audio design for the zombies — it honestly feels like they’re right in the room with you.
Leon’s sections switch to a third-person perspective, and his combat abilities make the experience feel much more ruthless. Two major threats appear in the hospital’s east and west wings — The Chef and Chunk — who are one-shot kills if you use the Requiem. The sense of tension and uneasiness during those sequences wasn’t as strong as I expected.
It was cool to see Mr. X again, but the fight itself was almost identical to the one in RE2. Overall, I enjoyed playing the game and would definitely recommend it.
