While containing more than enough easter eggs and homages referencing older series entries,RE7made a number of major formulaic changes which set it apart from its undead-starring brethren. Instead of blockbuster setpieces or sprawling zombie-infested level layouts,Resident Evilwent back to the drawing board, placing the player in (what initially appears to be) an abandoned Louisiana mansion....
