More about Resident Evil 7 Biohazard

Critics scored it 83. Players sit 12 points higher at 95 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts 48 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. 8 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 3,871 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 9.2 hours; clearing it takes 28, which is 3.1 times the campaign.

The rating rests on 129,522 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.2 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

No military training. No steroids. No enhancements. Give Ethan enough resources and he takes down Umbrella itself.

For the longest time I thought Ethan had it rough. But after watching Zach Cregger's Resident Evil, I've changed my mind.
Cooked BiscuitRecommendedafter 22h18 found this helpfulRead on Steam
A really strong survival horror game. The atmosphere is probably one of the strongest parts of the game. It's dark, creepy and the level design makes it even better. I genuinely loved exploring every single area in this game. The puzzles are also exactly what I expect from a Resident Evil game and I really enjoyed solving them. Changing the game to first person was also a really good decision. It makes the game feel...
