It appears that “Resident Evil 7” has recently been leaked, as copies of the game have made their way to some gamers prematurely. Those planning to play the game should be very careful browsing the Internet the next days, as it’s guaranteed that there will be a large number of spoilers all over the place, and they will likely be quite difficult to avoid.
The things we’ve seen so far paint the game in quite a positive light though, so it looks like gamers will have something nice to look forward to. On one hand, it will offer a deep, intriguing story with various mysterious elements to uncover. On the other, it will reportedly take around 10 hours to complete, which is a pretty good duration for a single player game nowadays.
It’s also mostly in line with the rest of the franchise, so gamers should expect to get a familiar experience from “Resident Evil 7”. Of course, it’s just as important how those 10 hours are going to be filled, as having a moderately long game by itself is no guarantee for quality.
Everything we’ve seen about “Resident Evil 7” from the leaks so far seems to indicate that it’s actually going to be a rich and exciting experience though, so gamers don’t have anything to worry about. Those who loved the topic of bioweapons from the previous games should definitely enjoy the plot of the new game, and it even features some mysterious plot lines related to such weapons.
We’ve seen some discussions about “Eveline”, which looks like a particularly dangerous type of weapon that will be featured in the new game. Mind control has been brought up in their descriptions, and it looks like this will be quite the interesting addition to the game’s arsenal. It’s not entirely clear how they will be connected to the player’s own character, but it will be interesting if we’re given a chance to play around with something like this from both sides.
Many gamers are looking forward to “Resident Evil 7” with a cautious approach. While it will be pretty hard – if not impossible – to beat the success of “Resident Evil 4”, there is still quite a lot the studio can do to leave a solid impression on their fans. The franchise has evolved a lot and it’s gone through some difficult times, but there’s no reason to believe that “Resident Evil 7” won’t set some new trends for it.
Fans should be particularly careful about spoilers discussing the game’s ending(s), as that part of the recent leak has been an attractive subject for discussions. While it’s interesting to see how the story ends and what the developers have managed to come up with, this is obviously something that will ruin the experience for many gamers, especially those who play primarily for the story. The leaks are out there and they’re not hard to find, so everyone should be careful browsing the Internet.
Are all the claims that this game is going to take the series to its roots true? It’s starting to seem more and more like it, as responses to the leaks have been very positive from all sides. While there are apparently still some quirks with the game and it’s not a perfect experience, it should go a long way in restoring fans’ trust in the franchise after all that’s happened. Anyone who’s been following “Resident Evil” for a few years should know that the series needs a boost like that desperately.
