9 Reasons Resident Evil 7 Is 2017's First Must-Have Game

2. Fantastic New Pop Culture Horror Characters

Resident Evil 2 gave us the Licker, RE3 the Nemesis, part four Los Ganados and now - after years of no real enemies without talking about - we've got the Baker family, who Capcom introduced by having father Jack say, "Welcome to the family, son."

Wife Marguerite is also responsible for some truly horrific encounters, a particular battle resulting in a mix of "Kill it with fire!" and "I can't actually loo- what the f**k is that?!", which is just what you want from a marquee horror title.

Every major horror title needs a good selection of enemies we'll all talk about for years to come, and with Capcom putting the Bakers front and centre of the game's marketing and the majority of the story, it helps make them some of the most memorable parts of the experience overall.
