Resident Evil 7 took a bold new step in the series, by returning to its survival horror roots.
Released January 24th, 2017, Resident Evil 7 was seen by many as a return to the survival horror roots that the series strayed away from starting at 4. Resident Evil 7 shifted from 3rd person over the shoulder to the first person, and the development team decided to move to a more simple setting that until later in the game, was separate from the rest of the lore. Resident Evil 7 then plays its hand at the end of the game and uses the DLC to tie it all together.

Did it work out? I'd say it did. Resident Evil 7 went back to its roots of survival horror and playing the everyman Ethan Winters, a departure from previous protagonists in the story.
So let's dive into Resident Evil 7, now that it's been four years, and Resident Evil 8 is on the horizon.
