10 Incredible Video Games With Weak Final Acts
10. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil VII: Biohazard traps its main protagonist, Ethan Winters, inside a decrepit house where a family of horribly mutated psychopaths is constantly on the hunt for him.
The setting of the game is a perfect horror story scenario and the execution of Ethan’s journey through the Baker family’s residence is just as great. The story is filled with gory twists and heart-racing action sequences that can shock even a seasoned Resident Evil veteran. It has you on the edge of your seat at all times and rarely loses its pace.
Unfortunately, the Baker homestead isn’t the only part of RE7.
After Ethan leaves the house, the game still has an entire second half of the story to go through. However, this is where the quality of the narrative and its horror factor deteriorate quite rapidly. Since all the major plot twists have already been revealed in the first half, the game has very little to surprise you with anymore. Plus, the nerve-racking, claustrophobic feeling of the house is completely lost in the mostly empty areas, like the ship level.
It's a clear case of developers using all of their ideas in the beginning and ending up with nothing to put in later.
