Usually I would post my review after I'm done with a game but I can't really find the will to finish RE7. So this is a review based from what I reached in the game.
As a game it was pretty good. I don't think it was scary but it was always so tense thats why I'm not going to progress in the game right now. The jump scares here are just too much for me.
I still wish this was a 3rd person game as I feel like it would have looked better and it would be inline with resident evil 4 to 6 and the recent remakes. But I for some reason, it felt like Ive been playing 1st person games for a while now. I didn't need to get used to it. Though its hard not to see who's in your back and side. I have to turn around or turn a bit. I can't do a 360 turn with the camera for the character to see what's in his back/side without turning his body.
The graphics look really good. I wish it didn't have muted colors but this looks really good even compare to some 2018/2019/2020 games I've played. The textures of the materials looked photorealistic. That house is a mess but a lot of things looked almost real to me. I feel like Resident Evil is always ahead when it comes to the graphics.
My main problem in the game is Ethan. It doesn't help that we don't really see his face or back. But Ethan also lacked personality. So he made this harder for me to finish the game as I don't have an attachment with the character I'm only controlling. He was faceless, I felt like playing a first person survival game in the arcade and I wasn't supposed to care about the character I'm controlling. I also don't get why Capcom didn't have fancy cutscenes. Like the cutscenes are done in a first person camera perspective of Ethan. You don't see his face, just a few shots of the back of his head. I also wish the game didn't have dark rooms, like I hated going in on those rooms and the humanoids are so aggressive.
Maybe one day I'll continue my progress.
If you are getting re3, its already there. I have no interest in it but if you want to try every feature in the game then I guess, yes
