    If you’re hoping to experience Resident Evil 4 Remake on Steam Deck to have a great experience on a portable, it is essential. Having now played it on PC, PS5, and Steam Deck, the DualSense features definitely make the PS5 version my favorite, but Resident Evil 4 Remake is a joy to play on Steam Deck, and it plays without issues from the get go. It is fantastic to see a big budget release like this work out of the box on Steam Deck while managing looking and playing so well. The game itself has a few frustrating moments, but it still gets my highest possible recommendation for Steam Deck owners hoping to play it on the go.

    It’s hard to really sell just how perfect Resident Evil 4’s remake is. You’d think after countless re-releases and ports that Capcom wouldn’t have the energy for this anymore, but not only has it treated the source material with the utmost respect, but has also paved the way for an experience that may even surpass the 2005 original.

    Resident Evil 4 is as good a remake as you could hope for, one that clearly understands what made the original great, makes considered alterations where it deems necessary, improves the parts of the game that didn’t work so well, and of course, makes the whole experience easier on the eye. It may not be as necessary a tune-up as Resident Evil 2, but it’s nonetheless a fantastic excuse to revisit one of the best games ever made.

    No doubt: Resident Evil 4 Remake is simply an excellent horror action game and Capcom proves, for the umpteenth time, its ability to produce a controlled adventure with an exemplary finish. The basics of the original game couldn't be more solid, but the firm has been able to modernize the whole thing to make the adventure more intense, deeper in its game systems and even more thrilling. Was a remake necessary? Maybe not, but impossible to spit on this impressive version, which knows how to honor the original material as well as to bring it a rejuvenation that is ultimately very relevant. Finally, if we have a mad desire to finish Resident Evil 4 as soon as possible, it is to start it again immediately.

    Resident Evil 4 is a truly fantastic remake of an already-stellar title. Some of the omissions, tweaks and changes do mean that it’s a perfect complement to the original experience rather than a replacement, but this is about as fine an update to a classic as one could possibly hope for.

    Resident Evil 4 is an excellent remake that more than satisfactorily manages to pull in a new generation of players, while still managing to stay true enough to the spirit of the original game so as not to offend the sensibilities of veteran players. While far from perfect, it nevertheless scores high among the long list of prior RE titles. Whether you prefer the original or its remake, however, will largely depend on your expectations from it. Being old is not inherently a sign of quality, but neither is a new coat of paint and a reinvented story necessarily an inherent virtue either.

    Resident Evil 4 is a good remake. It is not as creative as RE 2 reincarnation, and it follows the original too diligently, but it still looks very decent.

    Playing a finished, polished, and amazing game in modern gaming is truly refreshing since we are used to playing trash nowadays.

    Resident Evil 4 feels like a natural evolution of RE2, something RE3 could not do. Here, the gameplay feels solid and versatile. Parrying, evading, and new shooting mechanics are essential to encourage players to be aggressive, but not reckless, since good ammo management is necessary to not find yourself in difficult situations. The guns are well-balanced, which naturally makes every build unique and personal. One example is the crossbow. I think most people don't like it but it helped me so much to save ammo. In hard encounters, I always had ammo cuz of it. Being precise is well rewarded here as well. The level design invites you to know the map pretty well so you can't get caught easily and search for the best positions to kill the enemies - that are varied, requiring you to use different weapons to be efficient.

    The story has the same level of quality. Characters are fun and being around them makes the game enjoyable. I loved Ashley's persona and, because of that, protecting her was not tedious. Quite the opposite. Leon and Ada had both shown a maturation from the last game, which was explored in this campaign. I loved Krauser either, for some reason. His end was amazing. Also, the mystery involving the place was an amazing tool to make us interested until the end. Cutscenes and acting were top level - and speaking in graphics...

    Man, playing a 2023 game at launch when it is optimized and has amazing graphics feels almost supernatural at this point. I only had frame drops in only 2 moments - and it was reasonable. Otherwise, the game ran amazingly on my Ryzen 1600 and RTX 2060. Ultra settings (except for textures) at 1080p 60fps. I simply love this engine. Also, since I played RE 2 and 3 recently, I can assure you that the graphics are way better. Thanks Devs for that. This game deserves our money. Hands down.
