10 Reasons Resident Evil 7 Is PSVR's Killer App
10. It Is The Most Intense & Immersive Horror Game Experience Ever. Seriously.
Believe the hype: Resident Evil 7 was built up as the most viscerally intense and immersive horror experience in gaming history, and it absolutely lives up to that lofty claim.
Even though RE7's array of weapons leaves the player more capable than, say, the protagonist in Amnesia: The Dark Descent, VR simply takes the survival horror experience to a whole new plain.
The environments may not be visually perfect but they do a fantastic job of tricking the player's brain into believing they're actually present, such that when the Bakers attack, you'll flinch and may even instinctively move defensively in the real world.
Leaning around corners while being relentlessly stalked in VR is absolutely magnificent, and for anyone who's played even a small chunk of the game in the format, it's clear that this is the way the game should be played.
It truly is the PSVR's best experience to date, even though many will find the immersion too overwhelming to stomach for more than short bursts (and we ain't talking about motion sickness).
