Release date: Jan 25, 2017 Data as of 2026-10-19 View on Steam ↗

  • Players who want variety (reports that it gets monotonous)
  • Players who want a brisk pace
  • Players relying on Japanese (Japanese reviews rate it lower)

Summary

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard has a TrueGG Rating of 96.8%: the positive share among 6,330 reviews written in the last 180 days by players with 10+ hours, close to Steam's overall 95.3%. Players who really play it broadly agree with the headline number (all time: 97.0%).

Reviews written under 2 hours make up 5% of the total, with 80% positive. The early hours do not split opinion much.

Beyond the first hours, approval is fairly even across playtime.

Negative reviews most often mention boredom (more than at launch), pacing, and controls and UI. Positive reviews praise how fun it feels, monetization and DLC, and performance.

Among Japanese-language reviews, the TrueGG Rating is 85.8%, 11.0 points below all languages.

Re-weighting reviews by trust signals (playtime, length, how the game was obtained) barely changes the rating (95.0% adjusted), so Steam's number is not noticeably distorted by key giveaways or throwaway reviews.

All figures come from Steam's public review counts, and topics are counted with our published dictionary (no AI). Data as of 2026-10-19.

03 / TRUEGG INSIGHTS

Why it is rated this way

What drives the rating

Complaints center on the game's design (Boring / repetitive, Movement & pacing, Controls, UI & camera). These rarely change with updates, so the rating likely reflects the game itself. Judge by whether it suits you. It is also a game many people bounce off early (early reviews are much less positive than those of players who stuck with it).
