Resident Evil 7 at its very core is a stripped-down, back to basics approach that feels closer to the original Resident Evil than anything from the post 4 era.

What’s Old Is New AgainĪt first glance, Resident Evil 7, subtitled Biohazard is virtually unrecognizable from the games that immediately preceded it-fun fact, in Japan, the franchise is known as Biohazard, so the game’s full title there is Biohazard 7: Resident Evil. The most obvious change, of course, was the shift from a third-person perspective to a first-person one that gave the game a brand new sense of total immersion, but even that’s only scratching the surface.

For the first time in years, there was real, tangible excitement about the future of Resident Evil, and thankfully that excitement was more than warranted: Resident Evil 7 wasn’t just a return to form for the franchise, nor was it simply just an excellent piece of survival horror-for my money, it’s the closest thing we’ll ever see to a perfect survival horror game. Then, at E3 2016, came the game’s first announcement, as well as a teaser trailer that was such a drastic departure from the likes of 5 and 6 that people didn’t know it was even Resident Evil until the title was revealed at the very end. Between the disaster that was Resident Evil 6 and the now legendary non-existence of Silent Hills -a Silent Hill title that was supposed to star Norman Reedus and be a creative collaboration between none less than Hideo Kojima, Guillermo Del Toro, and Junji Ito- it’s safe to say that there was very real concern that both the giants of survival horror might have gone the way of the dinosaur. The franchise had leaned far too hard into the action elements of 4, and by the time 6 shambled around the franchise was starting to feel like one of its own monsters-and not in a good way, but in the “shambling, grotesque pile of incoherent flesh that is almost unrecognizable from what it once was” sort of way.

The point is, it’s a well-known fact by now that by that point in time, Resident Evil had long since lost its way. Then there’s Resident Evil 6, a game that I have not played and that every piece of information I have tells me I should not play-although to my knowledge, the version on Steam at the very least runs without needing a third-party patch, so I guess that’s a point in their column.

You need to download a third-party patch just to run the game you have legally bought and paid for, which is both absurd and hilarious.

When you try and run it, it attempts to redirect you to Games for Windows Live, a service that has not existed since 2014. I’d already chewed my way through the great Resident Evil 4, then eagerly booted up Resident Evil 5 ready for more thrills and…look, all you really need to know about Resident Evil 5 is that it’s a game so thoroughly neglected, as of this writing, the version that is sold on Steam does. So, by the time 2017 rolled around I was no stranger to survival horror, nor was I a stranger to the Resident Evil franchise as a whole.

In one particularly memorable personal story, the first and only time I seriously got into game modding was when I and an old online buddy spent the better part of a summer trying a witch’s brew of patches and source code modifications to get System Shock 2 up and running on a modern PC-only for the game to drop in full working order on Steam about three weeks after we finally got the damn thing running with sound. Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Dead Space, Outlast …these were some of my earliest and most formative excursions into not just the survival horror genre, but gaming as a whole. Some of my earliest experiences with games were within the survival horror genre-or at the very least, comfortably adjacent to it. It just so happened to work out that the time I started getting really into gaming was the same timeframe that I first started getting into horror as well, so horror and horror adjacent games were naturally some of the first ones I decided to explore. By the time Resident Evil 7 reared its beautiful, ugly head in 2017, I was already fairly well acquainted with the survival horror genre.
