What's going on, guys and gals? It is I, your brave watcher of horror games. This time, I review the latest installment of Resident Evil - VII (7). I'm a fan of the RE series and I think I've found my favorite one in the series, so let's get on with the review.
But first a synopsis:
You play as Ethan, a husband who hasn't heard from his wife, Mia, in three years. Until one day, you receive a simple, but strange letter from your wife telling you where she is and to come get her. Her directions bring you to the Bayou - Louisiana, in the swampy backwoods to a deserted house. But is it really deserted? Soon, you meet the Baker family, who welcome you with open arms and sharp weapons, bugs, and a twisted sense of humor. Welcome to Resident Evil VII.
- I actually took the time to write the synopsis. Go me!
Demos To Love
We received a glimpse at what RE 7 had to offer through various demos that really intrigued both players and spectators (like me). I will post the demos of Harshly Critical's playthrough down below.
The first demo shown below, is the first demo Capcom released called Beginning Hour. Although you don't play as the main game's protagonist, Ethan, the demo is still cannon to the main story. Also, the found footage part of this demo did make it into the final game and is playable like it is here.
Capcom would release a VR demo called Kitchen. A short experience, only lasting around four minutes, but scary nonetheless. Do note that in the video provided below, there are other demos that are not RE related, but still a fun watch :) The Kitchen demo is the first demo shown.
Capcom would also release an updated version of The Beginning Hour demo entitled "Midnight." New content, new areas, and new scares were included.
Is it bad that Jack's smile doesn't creep me out? It's got that, "Hey, buddy!" feel to it and not that Dr. Trager from Outlast type of "Buddy." Trust me, he's not your buddy and neither is Jack.
