I decided earlier this year I would wait until October to play RE7 for my October horror marathon and because it would probably be on sale (me being perpetually broke). Finally downloaded it a few nights ago and I'm a couple hours in.
The atmosphere of this game is incredible. It's not so much scary but is definitely unsettling. I think at the start playing in first person kept me on edge but as I've gone along there hasn't been a whole lot of scares. I'm liking the boss fights a lot too, it's so much more than just firing a weapon. Using the environment and searching for items mid battle keeps the fight interesting.
Really happy to see Capcom decided to reinvent the series after 6. From what I've played thus far RE7 is the shot in the arm the series needed.
