First Person Terror Resident Evil VII

First Person Terror Resident Evil VII

While Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 took the series in a more action oriented direction. Resident Evil VII brought the series back to its horror roots. Not only that, but it gave the game a first person view.

Now, Resident Evil has used a first person view for certain games in the past, but none have done it as well as Resident Evil VII. The story of Resident Evil VII is that you play the role of a young man called Ethan. Ethan’s love has gone missing and then one day you get a mysterious message telling you to go to a plantation down south….. your girlfriend who has been thought dead these past few years is there, but she is different, very different!

The Baker family who lives in the plantation are infected with something horrible and they along with the creatures that live in the plantation will not allow you to leave or you to save your love. It is a fantastic story and the game is genuinely terrifying to play. I had a blast playing through these and there is a choice to be made at the end so it is worth playing through a couple of times.

This is the right step that the Resident Evil series needed to take. There is still quite a bit of action here and there are many first person shooter sections. But the majority of the game is all about being scared to death by what is happening. If you have a PlayStation VR, you can play this in VR and it is one of the scariest games you will ever play in VR!
