Resident Evil 7 Player Beats Game Only Using Knife And Sets A New Record


If you’re still trying to make it through your first RE7 play through without defecating in your trousers, you’ve got a ways to go before even thinking of challenging this impressive record.

ItsTheWykytron, a speed-runner and streamer from Twitch, has managed to complete Resident Evil 7 using nothing but a knife.

Despite playing on easy mode so that it’s not completely impossible, there are still some really challenging spots. The most challenging was actually the first boss, which eats up a big chunk of the total time in this speedrun. Once getting that down, they still manage to complete the game in about three hours.

With a few tweaks, they figure they can shave at least another 45 minutes off. At 3 hours, it’s roughly double the current record for a play through on easy mode. The quickest time is currently 1:32:17 played on New Game+ with the circular saw, so all things considered, 3 hours with just a knife is nothing to scoff at.
