Sound and Visuals: i played this game both on headphones (Beyerdynamics DT990 Pro) and on speakers through SD. the sound feels immersive both ways but i highly recommend headphones if you want a true spooky gameplay. if you have a screen that is HDR compatible then its even great!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Grotesque textures, realistic lighting, and smooth animations make the Baker estate feel alive (and gross).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

All the weapons had their uses which is more than I can say for prior games in the series.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

I wasn’t sure about the first person view at first but it ended up being a pretty good choice that the devs went with for this game.The sound design of the game was done incredibly well.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance: i played RE7 completely on SD here and got constant 75+ fps on the highest settings with raytracing turned off. i know raytracing makes the game even more beautiful but thats the sacrifice you gotta make atleast for now with the handhelds as turning RT on even at lowest setting would drop your fps down to mid 20s.
