Als Haupttitel wechselt Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017) zur Ego-Perspektive und fokussiert auf Survival Horror statt Action. Sie spielen Ethan Winters, der in einer verfallenen Plantage im Süden der USA nach seiner Frau sucht und dort auf die infizierte Baker-Familie trifft. Das Gameplay legt Wert auf Ressourcenmanagement, Erkundung und das Lösen von Umgebungsrätseln, wobei die klaustrophobische Atmosphäre im Vordergrund steht. Eine Besonderheit ist die optionale VR-Spielbarkeit, welche die Immersion verstärkt. Aktuell sind mehrere DLCs verfügbar, die das Erlebnis erweitern.
","tokens":{"input":2300,"output":146,"total":2446}}Spieler übernehmen die Rolle von Ethan Winters, einem Zivilisten, der auf der Suche nach seiner seit drei Jahren vermissten Frau Mia ist. Diese verzweifelte Suche führt ihn zu einer heruntergekommenen, abgelegenen Plantagen-Villa. Bei seiner Ankunft entdeckt Ethan, dass das Anwesen von der Baker-Familie bewohnt wird, einer zutiefst gestörten und scheinbar infizierten Gruppe, deren Anwesenheit die unmittelbare Bedrohung definiert.
\n\nDas Spiel priorisiert Elemente des Survival-Horrors; Begegnungen sollten oft vermieden werden, und Munition sowie Heilgegenstände sind knapp bemessen. Die Navigation in der Umgebung erfordert sorgfältige Beobachtung, um Hinweise aufzudecken und komplexe Umgebungsrätsel zu lösen, die für den Fortschritt in der Erzählung notwendig sind.
\n\nDer Wechsel zu einer vollständigen Ego-Perspektive verändert die Immersion und Verwundbarkeit des Spielers grundlegend. Diese Perspektive verstärkt die Horror-Elemente, wodurch jeder Schatten und jeder plötzliche Auftritt eine größere Wirkung entfaltet. Obwohl Kämpfe vorhanden sind, zielt das Design stark darauf ab, Konfrontationen angespannt, überlegt und oft gefährlich zu gestalten.
\n\nEin bemerkenswertes Merkmal, das auf bestimmten Plattformen verfügbar ist, ist die Option, die gesamte Erfahrung im Virtual Reality (VR)-Modus zu spielen, was ein unvergleichliches Maß an Präsenz in der furchterregenden Welt des Spiels bietet.
\n\nÜber die Hauptkampagne hinaus bietet das Spiel vier umfangreiche herunterladbare Inhaltspakete (DLCs), die die Geschichte und die Spielszenarien erweitern.
\n\nDieser Titel ist auf einer breiten Palette von Hardware der aktuellen und vorherigen Generationen verfügbar, darunter PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (Microsoft Windows) sowie mobile Plattformen wie iOS und die Nintendo Switch 2.
