Resident Evil 7 Biohazard the best survival horror game of the year
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a survival-horror game developed and published by Capcom, released for PS4 and Xbox One (also PC) in January 2017 (and in May 2018 for the Nintendo Switch).
This is in our opinion the best Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 4. It combines scares and puzzles, and provides great gameplay With the inclusion of VR is a bold choice that pays off for those who want to experience the scares on another level.
Where Resident Evil 7‘s VR made players feel trapped in a horrible experience, End of Zoe‘s VR puts them inside the head of an unstoppable badass facing off against hordes of the shambling dead. End of Zoe is an incredible expansion to RE7 not just because it completely rebuilds the core gameplay and still works perfectly, but because it reinforces just how transformative VR is to the horror experience.
While this new entry in a classic series rejuvenated the franchise and proved that survival horror was still relevant in the age of grueling first-person horror titles like Outlast, Capcom delivered DLC that both expanded their narrative and playfully tweaked it, with each Banned Footage collection offering a handful of interesting twists on the core systems.

More than any game in the series, and even more than some other recent first-person horror games, Resident Evil 7 had me pausing the game to take stress-breaks on several occasions. In other words, Resident Evil 7's gameplay is proper survival-horror gameplay with nothing gratuitous added, which is what the franchise's hardcore fans have been craving for years. Meanwhile, Capcom was beavering away on Resident Evil 7, the latest iteration of the franchise that put survival-horror games on the map.
The tech isn't for everyone, but Capcom's tiny tweaks to the RE formula often work beautifully in VR, and players who don't have access to it will still get a well-polished, well-designed survival-horror experience. Resident Evil 7 is a return to the series' horror roots, in presentation, setting and gameplay.
