They’re not crucial, but certainly add more playtime for those who want to get more out of RE7. Each of these chapters expands on RE7’s core story and resolves a couple of loose threads. Since RE7 is two years old, folks can immediately try out some of the post-launch DLC add-ons. Inventory management is even more crucial since you don’t can’t expand your inventory as easily. The second run is actually more challenging than the first playthrough since there is less ammo and resources. While both campaigns are largely similar in terms of locales and bosses, they have different cutscenes, enemy placements, and some altered puzzles. Once you complete the campaign of one, you can then play a “second run” with the other. Resident Evil 2 features two main characters: Leon and Claire. It’s difficult to see any Resident Evil title topping RE7 in the horror department anytime soon.
While Resident Evil 2 certainly serves up scares, its atmosphere isn’t as oppressive as that of Resident Evil 7. Resident Evil 7 is survival-horror at its most extreme. Let’s not forget how you can play the entire game in VR on PlayStation 4. The sound design is just as unnerving as that of Resident Evil 2’s. This is not a game you want to play with the lights off.
The sounds of creaking wood, garish groans, and unsteady footsteps from areas unknown only serve to boost one’s feelings of dread. Blood-stained walls, decaying corpses, and devastated rooms add to the visual horror. Its darkened rooms conceal whatever potential horrors lie in wait. Resident Evil 2 is easily one of the scariest games of 2019. Those who want a less-realistic, more over-the-top tale and classic, recognizable characters will gravitate toward Resident Evil 2. Verdict: If you want a straightforward, serious horror story, Resident Evil 7 is what you want. In story and tone, it is comparable to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes.
As the story unfolds, players see how it ties into the series’ main plotline. Mia and the Bakers are not only psychotic, but have strange regenerative powers. There, he not only reunites with Mia, but meets the Baker family. In Resident Evil 7, players follow the exploits of Ethan Winters as he visits a dilapidated plantation in Louisiana after receiving a message from his supposedly deceased wife, Mia.
