Foreign media praised "Resident Evil 9": Returning to the horror source of "Biochemical 7"!
At last week's Cologne Game Exhibition, Capcom's new horror series "Resident Evil 9: Respond" was opened for trial. Foreign media TheGamer shared his experience of trial play and said that this game would be more action-oriented, but the horror of the game is shocking, reminiscent of the oppressive feeling of "Resident Evil 7".
TheGamer pointed out that Resident Evil 7 is known for its extremely thrilling atmosphere, and players feel the continuous sense of oppression and powerlessness in most of the process. Resident Evil 8 finds a balance between horror and action. Although it was originally expected that Resident Evil 9 would be inclined toward action, it now seems that Capcom has returned to the horror roots of Resident Evil 7, which is satisfying.
The weapons in "Resident Evil 7" are scarce, the enemies are strong and self-healing, and coupled with the gloomy atmosphere of the old house, they create a creepy and horrifying experience. The media said that they hope that Resident Evil 9 can continue this sense of horror rather than over-emphasizing action elements. Judging from the content disclosed so far, Capcom seems to be moving in this direction.
