Resident Evil 7 - a new take on zombies

Resident Evil 7 is a return to form for the award winning franchise and now more then ever Capcom seems concerned by environment layout after pleasantly atmospheric drill followed by the turmoil of the last couple of games that never really matured to the level of excellence of an excellent horror video game. Resident Evil 7's changes may be off-putting to some, especially when we are thinking at the change of perspective from a third-person to first-person. In my opinion it is a better match for a survival horror the first-person perspective and I also enjoy the shooting elements a lot (similar to what we will ordinary find into PS5 FPS games), but I understand those more conservative that are still hanged on the third person perspective. The RE7's changes mark an evolution that fits perfectly into the world that Capcom has created.

Resident Evil 7 is a return to form

The tense atmosphere of Resident Evil 7 may be the most powerful that the fans of the franchise has seen in quite a while. I believe the spooky Dulvey plantation plays an important role in this matter. RE7 has a tenuous balance that few videogames handle. It is refreshing to see how Resident Evil 7 re-discovers it after the not-so-good games recently. Like the boss battles that walk the line between combat and horror perfectly. Generally, survival-horror games, such as many action-adventure videogames, are occasionally structured round the boss experience. It is there where the players have to face a strong antagonist and have to defeat it in order to progress to another place. On the other hand, I know how important is the price of a video game and it always feel good to buy cheap PS5 games. Resident Evil 7 could be found with big discounts.

The strategy to combat is rather standard for Resident Evil (and maybe this is not the best news). It is a rather restricted combat with hard fights, such were the combat games of the past. RE7 changes the rhythm between slow-paced and fast combat, instead of a constant battle as in Resident Evil 4 throughout Resident Evil 6. There is one attribute (at least one) that is very important and somewhat controversial (and I have mentioned it already). It's the change to the first-person perspective. This is a substantial change for the series and we will probably see it on future games as well (at least this is what I hope). It may be one more reason to buy Resident Evil 7.

Resident Evil's dark atmosphere

Some enthusiasts have decried this shift from a third-person perspective to a first-person one as  evidence of Capcom's confusion. They argue that the developers have lost their way, but that could not be farther from the reality. To me, this is a natural progression and there must be a reason why first-person shooters are more popular than third-person shooters. Why this observation not to be relevant here as well? After all, RE7 have many of the characteristics of the successful PS5 shooting games. I think they have to move on and understand that an adventure shooter survival horror like RE7 is probably a good move for the franchise and they will probably attract new players into the Resident Evil's universe.

Resident Evil has impressive graphics

A brand new first-person perspective and stunningly detailed graphics makes for one of the best PS5 horror games ever. RE7 is probably the most vicious and strong on terror experiences Resident Evil ever made. Resident Evil 7 is strong on atmosphere - the sign of a top horror game that stays away from easy scare tactics. I could not recommend more Resident Evil 7. If you have no biases, as many of the conservative fans of the franchise, than you will be very happy with everything RE7 has to offer - graphics, story, gameplay.

Doom: The Dark Ages Combat - A Shield, A Shotgun, and An Identity Crisis

Image
Shield Mechanics: Glitches and Core Combat The shield is the whole game, or at least it acts like it, and this is a shame for most players who buy PS5 FPS games . You block, you bash, maybe you pose a little, and somehow you stay alive. For most runs, that plate of metal feels glued to my wrist. Once or twice, though, it just stalls like a broken toy. Guns fire, monsters scream, and there I am with a slab that refuses to budge. What looks like a new dodge or shine turns out to be a bug-a nasty freeze that vanishes after a reload but wrecks the rhythm anyway. Losing the jump button? Sure. This feels worse because survival depends on that single press. Shotgun Bliss: Unleashing Iconic Power When the shield cooperates, the rhythm of battle snaps into place. There are no perk timers chewing at your nerves, no dinky ammo counters blinking red, just the beat of your heart and a shotgun that kicks like it wanted out of the screen. Two versions hang on your belt, both lethal, both ridiculou...

MotoGP 25: Deep Dive into Accessibility, Immersion, and Innovation

Image
The MotoGP series has long been a staple on our blog, a tradition we've happily kept alive since we first spun laps on  MotoGP 20 , a game that really dug its heels in with a no-nonsense approach to simulation. We then saw the evolution with  MotoGP 22 , which felt like a significant step forward in balancing challenge with accessibility, before diving into MotoGP 24, a solid entry that refined the experience even further, without forgetting MotoGP 23, the first published for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Having logged countless lazy evenings in MotoGP since the PS2 days, MotoGP 25 registers both a homecoming and a hopeful leap. This isn’t merely the latest roster shuffle in a familiar wrapper; it feels like the first entry that consciously negotiates the tightrope between sim purism and arcade accessibility. Whether your idea of throttle discipline is drafting the back of the pack or splitting tenths in a seat of leather, the game has a spot for you. It isn’t...

Understanding Car Classes in Forza Horizon 5 and Their Influence on Gameplay

Image
Forza Horizon 5 exhibits beauty not only in the cars but also in how they are organized, how they compete, and how they force players to adapt. The class system is the invisible hand guiding every race, every tune, and every white-knuckle moment of FH5 on Mexico's roads. The game is not just about raw speed per race; it is about philosophy, absurdity, and everything in between. PI, Performance, And The Art of Balance In FH5, every car is given a Performance Index (PI) score, which serves as a performance measurement. The PI score is a numerical rating starting from 100 to 999, indicating how 'good' a car is. The PI score of a vehicle isn't just limited to horsepower or top speed; it is calculated based on acceleration, handling, braking, weight, and even aerodynamics. For instance, in Forza Horizon 5 , a muscle car half the Lola's Pi might have higher horsepower than the Lota's, but its raw speed does not account for the supple grip that the Elise has on the ...
