Introduction

So you think you can play a horror game on the go, huh? Resident Evil 7: Biohazard for the Nintendo Switch (if you can handle the cloud version without your WiFi turning into a poltergeist) takes you back to the era of survival horror where suspense and dread lurk around every digital corner. Remember what you felt as a kid playing hide-and-seek in the dark? Yeah, this is way worse. Launching in December 2022, it's like Capcom said, 'Let's give horror a ride on the train of convenience!'

Gameplay

In RE7, you step into the shoes of Ethan Winters, a regular guy on a bizarre mission to find his long-missing wife, Mia. The catch? The vicious Baker family, a mold-friendly bunch that's not big on hospitality. Gameplay revolves around exploration, resource management, and 'please God don't let them find me' vibes. You'll forage for weapons, healing items, and puzzle-solving essentials while doing your best to avoid turning into one of the molded corpses roaming the estate. Just remember: Ethan's not a trained soldier; he's a civilian armed with the equivalent of a 'please don't eat me' sign and a pocket knife. He can crouch, guard, and shoot, but don't get cocky-no classic action hero nonsense here! You'll need to utilize stealth, head for safe rooms, and manage an eight-slot inventory, which charmingly restricts you because Capcom likes to keep things... challenging. Oh, and don't forget to save your progress with those good ol' cassette tapes!

Graphics

The development team did an excellent job of bringing a deeply immersive horror experience to the Switch, even if it is via the cloud. Overall, the graphics maintain a level of quality that could rival most current gen games.

Conclusion

Resident Evil 7 on the Switch is not just a port but a return to form for the franchise, demonstrating that horror can be taken anywhere as long as your Wi-Fi can handle the pressure. An 18+ title that will make you question your life choices, yet is compelling enough to keep you playing amidst the dread. Whether you're a seasoned survivor or a newbie, just be ready to shout into the void-or your friend's ear-at least a few times!
