And in any case, there is one way to compensate for almost all the faults: by playing the game with PlayStation VR. So much so that we’d suggest adding an extra point to the score if that’s the way you intend to experience it.

but you should play it on PS4; VR is the way to experience this. There's nothing else like it. I've spent hours playing it outside of VR and it's not the same

While RE7 does not contain multiplayer, you can play the entire campaign on PSVR. Fundamentally, the content remains the same, but the way you experience that content certainly differs. Overall, VR works well: the graphics hold up, aiming feels intuitive (especially since you can partially aim simply by turning your head), and horror just generally feels more real and immediate when it occupies your entire field of view. And importantly, RE7 does everything it can to deliver a top-tier experience, including a robust suite of options designed to minimize discomfort. While I can't imagine playing the entire 12-hour campaign with a headset on, RE7 is undoubtedly an amazing option for VR fans.

this is a great horror game, and that’s without mentioning the added danger of playing in PSVR, where the mildewy atmosphere gets into your soul. I played the opening hour and a few other levels in virtual reality and screamed a lot, ending up, during one extended sequence, curled foetal on my side attempting to balance playing and hiding at the same time. It didn’t work very well. It’s terrifying, and there are sections I played in normal TV-o-vision that I don’t think I could have done in VR.

VR fans may be very interested in the game as there is a VR Mode. As reluctant as I was to try this while home alone, I did spend some time with it and it is amazing. Amazing as in it does it’s job and scared me to the point I nearly peed myself a bit! I was scared when I was playing normally, then I put on VR and gelt a whole new level of fear. The game looks spectacular on the PS4 Pro and it is a must buy if you have a PS VR.

Playing the entire game in VR only heightens the tension, which is fantastic.

The weight and harshness that technology like Playstation VR brings to the scares and tension is especially welcome.

The verdict: Stellar VR support

Resident Evil 7 is simply just meant for PSVR and playing it with Sony's shiny new headset bound around your noggin, infuses a whole extra layer to the experience that non-VR folk just won't have.

In the end, it really is impossible to stress strongly enough just how much PSVR adds to the Resident Evil 7 experience and arguably, it is the very best way to experience the game.

Those playing the PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil 7 — as we did for this review — will have the option to play through the game in virtual reality using the PlayStation VR headset. I tested this mode for a short time, and while there's something wonderful about being pulled into this creepy world more fully, able to look around at every detail and get up close with the game's monstrosities, I found it a less ideal way to play.

One of, if not the biggest, draws to RE7 (if you’re on PS4 at least) is the chance to play the game completely in VR. For this review, I played the game both ways in two full playthroughs. Honestly, both have their benefits. It goes without saying that VR enhances the immersion and atmosphere considerably. RE7 is pure and simple a different experience in VR than it is out, as even the smallest elements of the world become larger than life in virtual reality. A simple staircase leading down becomes a dread-filled journey into the abyss

So if you have the PSVR, you're left with a trade-off. Play normally with smooth, sharp graphics (and more death animations, I believe, as I noticed some more grisly deaths on the TV) with more consistency, or play in VR and sacrifice graphics for a huge boost in immersion and better aiming. Aiming with VR is a joy, as you shoot by aiming with your face, and it made me look forward to boss fights and skirmishes with regular enemies since it's so much fun.
