Resident Evil VII VR didn't really scare me

I don't want to sound like I think I'm a bad ass but I wasn't really scared by RE7 VR. Though the early game did give me the creeps and the dark environment throughout is quite overwhelming there are parts of the game that break this experience quite a lot. Now, let me elaborate.

The plantation in VR is second to none. The depth of field in the whole of the area is amazing. The basement crawlspaces feel enveloping and leave me a little claustrophobic. The outdoors feel fantastic and open and even the door opening animation is so good.

This is all unfortunately broken by the characters themselves. There is a long way to go before we can cross that uncanny valley and it is never more prevalent then when Jack or Marguerite appear all up in your grill. Needless to say that happens a lot and really took me out of the world. Like an animatronic skeleton jumping out at you in a theme park the jump is there but you quickly see it's a fake and you really have nothing to be afraid of.

I really did like this game and its story and characters are great. The environment is also awesome but I do really think we have a ways to go before animation can really be good enough to keep you in the world more effectively.

That's my opinion though, what did you guys think? I'd like to know and would love to discuss it with you.

Thanks duders.
