We can help you survive the Baker family... and everything that follows.

Resident Evil 7 is billed as a return to the horror series’ more slow paced and methodical roots, with the game sharing quite a lot in common with the original two titles in the series. That means puzzles, backtracking, optional and hidden items, weapon upgrades and limited resources. All of which, we think, makes the game one of the best horror experiences on PS4, PC and Xbox One.

It also makes it ample material for a guide – and we’re here to help. As of the time of writing we’ve completed Resident Evil 7 three times – once on normal difficulty blind, and two exploration-driven easy-mode meanders through its world to find more secrets. This guide is primarily based on notes from our first normal play-through, augmented a little with additional tidbits from later play-throughs as there are a number of secrets that are well worth unlocking.

As far as possible, we’ll keep this guide spoiler-free. We’ll hint at and talk around revelations rather than outright reveal them although please understand that some things are unavoidable. Things like item locations, available weaponry and bosses will be spoiled as we need to talk about them, of course, but we’re not going to spoil big plot twists or indeed warn you about jump scares. Consider yourself warned.
