Resident Evil 7 Reviews: 10 Early Reactions You Need To Know

5. Loading Times Are Long

"There aren’t a lot of loading screens in Resident Evil 7 but they last forever when they happen. Most notably when coming in and out of a VHS tape." - Pure PlayStation
"Loading times were pretty lengthy, often a minute or two, but thankfully they only occur infrequently: when loading up a save file, restarting after a death, or loading into and out of one of the VHS segments." - PC Advisor

It feels like it's been a depressingly common complaint in AAA games recently, but RE7 is yet another sure to test player patience with its lengthy loading times.

Considering the potential for players to die time and time again when facing a challenging enemy, this could be a major source of frustration for some.

On the other hand, at least, reviewers have commended the game for having virtually no loading screens while exploring the environments at large.
