    The feeling after the game is the same as after a very long TV series that tries to stall for time as long as possible, throwing more and more stories at you.

It seems that they are all connected together, but there is a strong smack that they all live their own lives due to the excessive difference in the situation and enemies that do not intersect with each other, although they play out a single group-sect.. These stories are not bad, even to some extent interesting, especially for their time, but the problem is that by combining them all into "one long sausage", this game begins to tire you very much. Moreover, there are other problems in it that add to the level of this fatigue.
    Now it's 2020, the game was made in 2014 ... well-known bugs with QTE have not been resolved yet (fu*ng trolley in mines... fu*ng statue in castle). To solve these problems, you need to perform "shamanic dances with a tambourine" like fps manipulations or beginning to play ONLY with eng. language.
    Wildly slow turns. Due to the inability to move sideways, there are often situations when you fail to react to the enemy from the side(the enemy has time to stuff you with arrows or bullets while you turn and aim. Turning button on 180 does not always help). And for the dessert: In boss fights this is very annoying, because while you turn and shoot, the boss will have time to drive you into the ground, because you need 100500 shots to win, but 3 hits are enough for him. This is certainly not critical and completely surmountable, you just waste more time for that, but in general, from game to game, this turtle speed is just infuriating.
    Didn't find how to rotate items in the inventory. The inability to combine ammo with weapons - minor but uncomfortable.
    However, I liked the game in the majority. The story, although filled with pathos and various clichés, is interesting.    … Expand

    Great and fun gameplay. Leon S. Kennedy has to be one of my favorites. Ashley is so annoying and slow. As a PC gamer the mouse is not well-used here. You can only look to the sides. And only when you're aiming it's possible to move your character. I don't know if you can change that. Great story though.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ну вот я и прошел RE4. Прям вот только что. Что сказать, доволен. У игры почти нету минусов, но они все же есть. Отметим же плюсы.

    +

    Продолжительность игры - Обычно RE игры небольшие, но RE4 порадовала своим внушающим объемом. Игру я прошел за 18 часов на среднем уровен сложности. Прошел бы и на специалисте, если бы он сразу был доступен.

    Загадки - Их хоть немного, но над ними надо попотеть.

    Хардкор - Даже на среднем уровне сложности, было сложно. Постоянно 24/7 везде есть мобы.

    Противники - Разнообразие врагов в RE4 огромно. Начиная с обычного деревенщина и окончивая хренью, которая регениться и её нельзя убить без спец. прицела.

    Локации - Все локации в RE4 выглядят хорошо, но были бы еще красивее, если бы не графа 2005 года.

    Графика - Для 2005 года графика пойдет, но как по мне, за 6 лет можно было сделать чутка получше.

    Сюжет - Сюжет в игре нормальный, но и не супер как по мне.

    Атмосфера - Она в игре есть, особенно начиная с Замка как по мне.

    -

    Боссы - Ну боссы слишком легкие, возможно из-за моей сложности, но все равно они не какие. Единственный над кем я потел это была рыба в деревне.

    Камера - Первое время бесила камера, просто невозможно, но ближе к середине игры привыкаешь к ней.

    Нелогичные моменты - Ну это просто клише по типу "Швырну его а не убью".

    Эшли - Здесь бесит даже не сам персонаж, а эти "Help me Leon!", "Leooon" и т.д её фразы от которых её наоборот хочется отдать Садлеру а не вернуть Отцу.

    В целом игры хорошая и стоит своего времени.    … Expand

    When I started to play this game.. man! It was really annoying! The controls felt off and pursuing actions was really hard but after like 7 hours it became one of the the most fun games I've played. This game is good, I recommend!

    Easily best video game of all time. People need to understand that this game originally came out January 2005. Sure, HD version has updated graphics and better fps, but overall it's still this same game that came out early 2005.

    This game was insanely good, so many boss fights, but unlike Dark Souls where every boss is boring or similar, RE4 bosses were unique and cool. Movement is little bit outdated, hopefully remake fixes that. Everything else was perfect.

    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)

    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.

    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.

    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.
