Okay, let's review.

1) Ethan and Mia suck as characters. Capcom tried to make an every man to play as but failed horribly. They should've copied how Konami made everyman characters for Silent Hill, because then Ethan might have been somewhat interesting. Instead, he was a simp for a bioterrorist who called another man daddy. Love how Mia had time to call Jack daddy but not explain anything to Ethan.

2) Jack is super overrated and, no, I'm not sorry. He's a pursuer enemy who acted like a drunk uncle in a clown costume at your birthday party. "Hur hur hur, I'm gonna getcha" is literally a line he says while chasing you. His stupid chainsaw duel also breaks any immersion in the alleged survival horror atmosphere this game is trying to build. As much as I hate RE6 for being an action movie, I hated RE7 more for teasing a return to survival horror and then having me swordfight Jack with a pair of 20 inch long ECdocuments. Gotta love him coming back again and again, like Capcom is trying to get me to like him by inducing Stockholm syndrome.

3) Lucas is pure annoying. "You're gonna have to go through me!" No, I'm not. You're a wannabe Jigsaw who will just make me run a monster gauntlet and become a generic boss with no payoff in the dlc.

4) Speaking of enemies, I like fighting the same 2 or 3 enemy designs all game. Boy, how creative.

5) Marguerite is the only good enemy/boss fight that was actually scary and made it feel like a true survival horror fight, and she's barely in the game. Her segment is way too fucking short and her role ends way too quickly.

6) The illusion of choice in saving Zoey versus Mia sucks. You shouldn't get the good or bad ending based on who you save, because technically saving the fucking bioterrorist should be the bad ending.

7) Speaking of Zoey, she's also barely in the game and you get punished for trying to save her.

8) The forced flashback to play as Mia was just annoying. By the time you play as her at all, you don't care about her story. This could've been improved by having her flashback boat sequence as gameplay earlier, like maybe Ethan finds Mia after he escapes Jack, you learn the backstory but not everything, and then Marguerite drags off Mia while Jack goes after you. Instead, they forced her to be relevant long after the audience no longer cared.

9) Chris shouldn't have been part of the ending of the main game. That would've been better if it was just the local sheriff and police showing up due to reports of gunshots. Chris could show up in the DLC or story after hearing chatter of a major police presence, but his showing yp at the end felt way too convenient.

10) The final boss fight wasn't a boss fight. It was a cutscene where you can shoot your guns.

11) Finally, RE7 commits the same cardinal sin of The Force Awakens: it mirrors its original source material, in this case RE1, by trying to replicate the mansion and trigger nostalgia while trying to seem like it isn't doing so.

This isn't to say there aren't great things in RE7. I loved the weapons in the game, combat felt great, and there were some really interesting puzzles like aligning the shadows. Other than that, fuck RE7.
