Resident Evil 7
After the divisive entry Resident Evil 6, the series decided to both return to its roots and try something entirely new. For the first time in the main series the game put things in a first person perspective, really giving Resident Evil 7 a unique feel.
The key here, however, is that Resident Evil 7 doesn’t make you some amped up soldier. You’re just an ordinary guy put into a crazy situation, struggling to make it out alive. The title gave Resident Evil that creepy feeling again, as you poked your way around the decrepit old Baker mansion in  Louisiana. Along the way you’ll need to content with mysterious monsters known as the “Molded,” as well as the terrifyingly insane Baker family, who make for some seriously nail-biting boss battles. On top of everything, the game also offered the option of playing in VR, only increasing the horror astronomically.
Resident Evil 7 may have done new things for the series, but it still felt like a return to form. It was once again terrifying, atmospheric, and moody, something Resident Evil has been lacking in as of late. It certainly made Resident Evil 7 stand out among the horror genre, and one heck of a way to start the year out with a GOTY contender. Make sure you take a look at our review of it here.
