10 Things Resident Evil 7 Must Learn From The Evil Within

9. Bosses That Take Strategy

In what's one of the most memorable parts of Evil Within, you'll come up against a hulking demonic zombie-man-dog... thing in an underground car park, and although you still have to take it down, you actually have to employ quite a few stealth tactics to do so. You'll be hiding underneath cars as it patrols past, shooting it from afar before darting into any of two ammunition rooms, and just generally trying to stay out of its way.

Speaking of those ammo rooms, you can duck into either of them to catch your breath, but if the beast sees you enter it'll destroy them one by one, creating a great sense of having to decide exactly how and when to use them as the fight plays out.

Another recurring boss is a multi-armed girl who'll batter your eyes in if she gets the chance, but in figuring out exactly how and when to progress through a series of chambers, you'll actually deal far more damage to her with the environment than you would with your guns. We'll cover the annoyances of having multi-tiered boss fights with no checkpoints later, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.
