    I've never played re4 before and I know that it was revolutionary at the release but in 2023 it's really nothing special.

    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)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RE4 is a pretty great game :) I played it as a teenager way back when but I never beat it until now. It was really fun replaying it many years later, especially with the HD Project updated textures making the game look a lot better. Overall though, I would give the game a 7/10 as the gameplay is pretty fun but does not have enough depth to keep me playing much into Mercenaries or want to replay the game.

    The gunplay feels good and I really enjoyed the different feel of each gun. The management of ammo & healing items in the main game was really good and I loved the sparse resources (for the most part, sometimes you have more than enough ammo especially). I was feeling like was over the gameplay after finishing the game and then playing through Separate Ways. I didn't even play Mercenaries as I felt content with how much fun I had with the game & didn't really want to fight the same enemies in the same areas again, after basically replaying 1/10 or so of the original game in Separate Ways.

    The story & dialogue were good and kept me engaged, haha especially with the pretty cheesy one-liners. I enjoyed Leon's ridiculous movie-like lines & tropes, like yelling at Luis' dead body "LUIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!" Hahaha, I literally laughed out loud. Maybe not what the developers were going for, but I really loved the cheesiness of the game. I do wish the story was more in depth & the origins of the Las Plagas were explored even more. I would have loved to see scenes or diary entries about Luis' research on the Las Plagas, or Saddler before being joined with the Las Plagas how he built a connection with Salazar and convinced him to resurrect the Las Plagas from the fossils. But I know the focus of the game was on gameplay & the developers didn't emphasize the story more than needed.

    I definitely recommend the game to any fan of 3rd person shooters, Resident Evil, or shooters in general. Go in knowing its an older game, download the HD Project textures, don't force yourself to play more than you want and enjoy the cheesy/campy dialogue :D    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    Unfortunately, I didn't find RESI 4 particularly good. The story is quite nice, but there is way too much fighting, which is just exhausting after a while. In addition, the controls are very outdated and really exhausting to play.

    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.

    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.

    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.
