How Resident Evil 7 Changed Gaming Forever

Resident Evil 7 didn’t just revive survival horror; it changed gaming for me forever. After years of avoiding horror games, RE7 forced me to confront what makes the genre so special: vulnerability, resource management, and meaningful decision-making. From RE1 HD and RE4 to Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space, it completely reshaped my taste in games. This is how Resident Evil 7 revitalised survival horror, and why it opened the door to some of the best-designed games ever made.
