10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
3. Resident Evil 7 - Biohazard
What is it: It's Resident Evil. Come on, you know what it is.
The horror franchise returns to its pants-browning roots with Resident Evil 7, a new, VR-inspired horror game. The new first person angle ensures players can be personally emotionally scarred by the horrors within. Fun!
Protagonist Ethan Winters receives a mysterious phone call from Mia Winters, his wife who was reported deceased three years ago. His hunt for answers takes him to Dulvey, Louisiana, and to the reportedly haunted farmhouse of the Baker family.
The new Resident Evil wears its root inspirations on its sleeves- in the new evils of the Baker residence, guns are scarce, puzzles are abound, and combat is heavily, if not entirely, a discouraging, uphill battle. Coming from the gun-happy Resident Evil 6, it feels like welcoming an old friend back home.
When's it coming out: We'll be welcoming Resident Evil 7 to the family on 24 January.
