This is exactly what I'm talking about... why isn't it an RE game? Just because it doesn't expand on the lore? Like I already said, it plays like an RE game, the combat feels like an RE game, the creepy factor is the best it's been since RE1 or 2, this shit was WAY creepier than any of the recent games and it's got all the same crazy secrets/extras that make RE games so special. Whether or not you're upset with it not following the same fucking story we've heard over and over for 20 years now doesn't mean it's not an RE game lol. If it looks like an RE game, if it feels like an RE game and if it's called an RE game... Guess what, it's an RE game.

Seconded. But i do wish there was abit more lore to tie in the game to other characters in the series. Though it does a great job expanding on umbrella as a company and what it is they've been doing
so every game that feels "creepy" and has "secrets" plays like an RE game? interesting inclusive criteria. to my point, I am not "upset" at all because I played the game and all the DLC that was offered. I loved RE7, it was an amazing game. that doesn't take away from the claim that it could have been called zombiehouse and nothing would have changed. It seems you became triggered at the notion it does not fit as well in the RE franchise than others. objectively it is novel to any RE game in terms of gameplay. objectively it indeed neglects most of the lore up to this point, congruently failing to expand on any of it as well. being creepy allows it to fit in the survival horror franchise, RE does not have sole claim on this franchise. did Dino crisis "feel" like an RE game? yes. Did it look like an RE game? yes. is it a survival horror game? yes. is it a RE game? no.
this critique was well recognized by the developers who made a strong attempt to fix this critique with the DLC they provided, which was also amazing. the final product became a game that fit better with the RE franchise, which it sounds like you haven't even played.
the lore of every canon game RE1-RE6 did indeed expand on the lore, despite how horrid 6 was. RE1-3+ CV were all creepy, and all had absolutely different stories expanding on the RE timeline. They went a different direction with RE4-6 + revelation series in that it was less creepy and more action, however each had their individual story and expanded the storyline contrary to your claims.
