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

2. The Late-Game Is A Bit Underwhelming

Resident Evil 7
Capcom
"The last hour and boss is slightly underwhelming." - Destructoid
"The experience starts to drag a bit by the end, though, as you end up performing similar tasks throughout the entire game." - Gamespot
"Only one area near the end of the game seems like it drags a bit, feeling more like a solid DLC side story than a part of the main campaign." - Giant Bomb

As is common for the RE series, RE7 apparently goes a little off-the-rails in its closing portion, inviting boredom as it fails to change things up sufficiently.

Many reviewers commented on the disappointing nature of the final boss in particular, which de-evolves into generic action nonsense rather than opting for something more grotesque and unconventional.

Some also noted the interesting direction in which the ending takes the franchise, though of course, we'll have to see that all for ourselves.
