Currently Playing: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Retrospective - Blood is Thicker

Resident Evil 7 is terrifying because it feels hungry, hostile, masters tension and understands the importance of dread. It bleeds inheritance, and blood, as they say, is thicker than water. For the first two-thirds of the game, that thickness is unmistakable. The horror suffocates. The estate is a living wound that drips red. But as you leave the house, ascend from the swamp, that blood does become water. The oppressive tension evaporates. The final act shifts to running, gunning, hollow mines and anticlimactic goodbyes. The dread drains out and the atmosphere thins. But how much of a problem is that? Do the ship, the mine, and The Infamous Choice tarnish Resident Evil 7’s legacy? Or are they footnotes to a game that people claim “Saved Resident Evil?” Thumbnail by ‪‪@hotcyder Specimen Art by @SamanthaSaunderz Quote Reads by @LackingSaint "Blood is Thicker" by @marinaryan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FT1pAr0wx8 TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:03:14 - Down with the Sickness 00:12:56 - The House Has Eyes 00:31:27 - Family Business 00:56:05 - A Pocket Knife? 01:08:52 - Play a Game 01:17:43 - End of Zoe 01:27:08 - Missing in Action 01:35:45 - Not a Hero 01:49:01 - Blood is Thicker RESIDENT EVIL: REQUIEM CRITIQUE - DAYS GONE BY https://youtu.be/ddCeDUdP4Ow RESIDENT EVIL: VILLAGE RETROSPECTIVE - SEASON OF THE WITCH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_hRkF26N34 RESIDENT EVIL 7: BIOHAZARD RETROSPECTIVE - BLOOD IS THICKER https://youtu.be/TDB_qp1M2go RESIDENT EVIL 6 CRITIQUE - PANDORA'S BOX https://youtu.be/tPtPK2Vgmyo RESIDENT EVIL 5 CRITIQUE - FUTURE WITHOUT FEAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6T59SCafYE RESIDENT EVIL 4 CRITIQUE - STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND https://youtu.be/VBVXT1sb1m0 RESIDENT EVIL 3 CRITIQUE - SEEING STARS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNdWDbsZcD8 RESIDENT EVIL 2 CRITIQUE - MUTATE OR DIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpCok-XgRh0 RESIDENT EVIL CRITIQUE - HELL IS EMPTY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr-XJUMs6SE DEATH STRANDING CRITIQUE - LETTERS FROM THE END OF THE WORLD https://youtu.be/uTr74l85ZjQ I MADE MY WIFE PLAY RESIDENT EVIL https://youtu.be/aUyP9tGWer4?si=aL5rPiSIQ529yF7w REFERENCES 1 - Alex Aniel: Itchy, Tasty 2 - Video Games Chronicle: Capcom wanted Resident Evil 7 to be a live service game with microtransactions 3 - Forbes: An Interview with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard director Koshi Nakanishi 4 - Thomas Ligotti: The Conspiracy Against the Human Race 5 - The Medium: Analog horror and the uncanny valley - what makes it so terrifying? 6 - IGN: Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Review 7 - Original Sound Version: Composer Michael A.
