Resident Evil 7 is fun, but it’s not Resident Evil at all anymore

World War not so e-Z
Don’t go into this video game named after the Brad Pitt movie expecting some sort of sequel, prequel, or canon side story. Don’t even really expect much of a story. In the style of Dead Rising (or a third person … Continue reading
