Update: Though I originally reviewed Resident Evil 7 on PS4 and PSVR, I've since had a chance to test the game on Xbox One and PC as well. Accordingly, additional information has been added to the bottom of this review.
Tight focus limits the amount of filler; Strong narrative and tense atmosphere; Upsetting amount of visual detail; Excellent variety thanks to the different family members and playable flashbacks; Refined survival-horror mechanics that balance old with new; Top-notch VR support
Certain sections drag; Some boss battles prove more annoying than intense; Enemies could be smarter and more capable; Puzzles go largely forgotten
