Overview

After a long streak of action games, Capcom attempts to return to true survival horror in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.  The game promises to return to the spirit of the series: survival horror, which the first games popularized. In order to do this, the game heavily revamps its format by veering away from the “Gears of War”-style gameplay of the previous Resident Evil games.
