I’ll admit that I was skeptical about this, how would this even work? Is my phone going to feel like a volcano?Well yes, it does when I play re7 and sometimes the game lags a bit from the areas that have to be loaded in, which I don't know how that works considering I have re7 on performance and it's on the lowest resolution. But it's resident evil, ON THE GO! I have to expect some technical and performance issues because I'm playing it on my phone. Even with all the negativity I said, it is such a shame that I can't have all my DLCs from Xbox transferred over here because I would love to play some Jack’s 55th birthday right now. In general, the game plays well considering the expected performance issues and it's a miracle how the people at Capcom and others ported this to Apple. Quite a feat.

Very good horror game that you can now play on the go, that’s really cool. RE Village has been out for over half a year on iPhone/iPad/Mac but this is still really impressive. I also like how Capcom isn’t just porting the game 1 for 1 and instead adding menu’s you can use with touch controls without having to use the virtual controllers, great quality of life improvement over RE Village. My only real complaints are that the auto iCloud syncing is a bit bugged, but the manual works just fine, and the lack of in depth graphical changes like in RE Village that let you choose what you want to be higher res or lower. It also doesn’t have an FPS limiter where I can set it to be 30, 60, 120, or variable like RE Village which I’d like to see added. Oh yeah and turn off the motion blur, its insane how disorienting it is. The game is very stable as well, barely if any frame drops in my few hours playing from 60 FPS and no crashes. One bug I did see was the same cutscene lip syncing problem that was prevalent in RE Village, specifically on iPhone, and Mia’s hair bugging out occasionally.All in all it’s great value for only $20, very impressive, very scary atmosphere, gonna play the whole thing 100%.

Let me first say: I sometimes can understand when a company or individual sets the price for an app to $0.00 not as a way to provide the app for free but to allow customers to get an actual feel for the app before putting down money. However, the way they do it for Resident Evil 7 is messed up. Listed as "Free" on the App Store, their website and in other places but it's NOT free. They let you play up to the first chapter then you HAVE TO pay.Secondly, the graphics on this game are so incredibly bad. Like, the resolution is surprisingly good (inanimate objects appear very clear) but the people in this game... they remind me of Chuck E Cheese's band -- signing on stage, their mouths moving in complete disconnection to any words being said.I gave this game 2 stars because it's actually VERY scary, at least for me. I don't play these kinds of games often and it had me shakin in my boots. I'd play the game if it wasn't free, but not before they fix those graphics. I can't stand watching a character with their mouth randomly moving up and down, teeth showing, no facial expressions, staring into the game's "camera", exclaiming things like "we've gotta get out of here!!!".

I have played the Resident Evil series since it debuted in 1996, and I have loved it as the years have gone by. I feel Capcom lost their way a bit in the middle, post RE4, and I played RE Zero; suffice it to say, I loved those older games.That is what makes this a conundrum for me: this is such a good game, and it fits into the series so very well. I know it was released as a VR game initially, but this version does not suffer due to that fact. This is a brilliant, impactful playing experience, and it now rates above the old releases for me, even the remakes. Somehow, the series has been brought into the present with aplomb and flair, and it runs so well on Apple hardware, these games are fluid and gorgeous. As an old stalwart, I actually think the next installment, Resident Evil Village, is even better, and it is spectacular on modern Apple devices. I must have played through both of these ten times, uncovering every nook and cranny, enjoying every moment. To do this on my Mac was previously unheard of.Don't hesitate to buy this game, or RE Village, they are honestly amazing. The only thing that would make this a perfect ten for me would have been the implementation of a third person mode, but I understand, again, RE 7 was originally intended to be a VR experience. It translates to the flat screen incredibly well.Thank you Apple and Capcom for bringing these treasures to us. Please continue, I am happy to pay for these superlative games.
