    o jogo é bom demais, o fator replay é perfeito, tem gráficos incríveis pra época, tem um dos protagonistas mais carismáticos já feitos, level design é muito bom, trilha sonora muito boa e gameplay perfeito

    Quite innovative, it paved the way for all TPS from then on and on top of that it's an excellent game in its own right. Unfortunately, that PC version is kinda lazy - you basically need to install RE4 HD Project so that is acceptable by today's standards (or even 2014 standards, the year this version were released)

    The porting has flaws but it always remains resident evil 4, the commands are the only flaw. This game hasn't aged yet and will get old in a long time. It will always remain one of my favorite games. Final vote 9.6.

    Первый мой RE, ради, которого купил геймпад к ПК, так как либо камерой управляешь клавиатурой либо ставишь кривую утилиту, эмулирующую мышь. Отличная игра с крутейшей атмосферой. Навсегда врезалась в память и спустя годы, все ещё тепло вспоминаю об игре.Первый мой RE, ради, которого купил геймпад к ПК, так как либо камерой управляешь клавиатурой либо ставишь кривую утилиту, эмулирующую мышь.

    This game blew me away nearly 18 years after it’s initial release. Action, suspense, exploration, world building, puzzles. I could go on with how this game made me feel. As someone who hates horror games, ‘The Last of Us’ franchise being my only entrants into the genre, I was surprisingly drawn in and couldn’t put it down until I had seen it all. This game is an experience at its finest.

    A classic. Playing it 17 years after the release, I appreciate the satisfying gunplay, atmosphere and variety of level designs.

    Great survival horror game, although it gets more action-y and a bit repetitive in the last 1-2 hours. The Main Story takes about 10-20 hours, depends if you want to collect every treasure there is or not. New game + and the professional difficulty make for great replayability.

    Incredible Game! It was the first Resident Evil I played at the time of PS2 and after so long replaying it and still finding it amazing, it shows that the game is very good.
    Graphically speaking it's not as beautiful as the 2 and 3 remake, but the graphics and cutscenes are still good.
    Particularly I like the action footprint more than the survivor horror so I think the dynamics of this

    One of the best games ever!!! Anyone who has trouble with mouse and keyboard controls- there is mouse mod on steam, find it under "view discussions". It makes your mouse work like RE5, so basically when you turn mouse, Leon also turns that way, basically how it should have always been. This was my biggest issue with this game, but now it's literally perfect. Hopefully remake is good.

    One of the best and most innovative games ever made. This game came out January 11, 2005, so that basically means it's actually 2004 game, because it was already finished in 2004 and could have easily released October-November 2004.

    El único problema que tengo es que tengo ralentizaciones muy seguido, no al punto de ser injugable, pero no lo comprendo ya que juegos como Resident Evil 5, 6 y los Revelations me corren mejor sin tener ese pequeño problema.

    Phenomenal masterpiece that was apparently over 15 years ahead of time, because it has still better boss designs/fights than games like Elden Ring.

    Sadly the final score has to be lower than originally expected, at least until the developers can fix the issues. Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is essentially the great PC version we've been waiting for all these years, it is priced quite reasonably and, under normal conditions, I would recommend the game wholeheartedly to fans of the series and newcomers alike, but not until all the bugs have been squashed. Until then, keep your money in your pockets.

    If you haven’t played Resident Evil 4, it’s still absolutely worth playing. It’s a definite classic that stands along with the likes of Half Life 2 as one of the best games of its generation.

    Resident Evil 4 is still one of the best games ever made, but less-than-ideal mouse and keyboard controls and a barely noticeable texture upgrade keep this PC port from being the ultimate version of this masterpiece that it could have been.
