PAGE 20 Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil 7 released in January of 2017, a time notorious for studios quietly dropping bad titles on the world. But Resident Evil 7 was anything but bad, in fact, it was a fantastic game that is still as strong a year after its initial release. The Resident Evil series was running on fumes, and many saw Resident Evil 7 as the last gasp for the series. But Capcom surprised everything by crafting a true horror experience that helped revitalize not only the RE series, but the entire horror genre. Resident Evil 7 brought the scares and backed it up with a solid story and strong gameplay. It also managed to work in VR, something that can't be said for most titles in 2017 that tacked on VR support. GAMBIT
