5. New Enemy Types

While the Molded could be a rather terrifying enemy to encounter in Resident Evil 7 in the right situations, they definitely lost their impact the longer the game went on.

And it was clear that towards the end of the title that the developers were just using them to create obstacles for the player to pad out the space between big boss battles, making the once-horrifying enemy seem like little more than cannon fodder in the process.

The design of the monsters themselves also wasn't very inspired, and going into the next game the developers should figure out a way to come up with something more imaginative - and scarier - than a blob of black goo.

Capcom came up with some some superbly scary monster designs when it came to each member of the Baker family, so it's a shame that this creativity didn't extend to the basic threats that you fought in the game.
