Gameumentary: Having not played through any of the previous Resident Evil games, I can say as a newcomer to the series that this game is a great starting point. I can't really go back and compare this Resident Evil to past games in the series, so I can't really tell you if it's the reinvention of the series you might be looking for if you're a longtime fan. The only thing you really need to know about Resident Evil VII is that it's a competent horror title worth a playthrough regardless if you're a fan of the series or not.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

All those games had to release without bugs.
