    It's shameful for Capcom to add post release microtransactions so journalists would over rate this game since MTX wasn't around until april 6th. Shame on capcom

    First of all, I would like to thank Capcom for the remake of this interesting game. And please, if you are going to lower the difficulty level of the game because of the presence of new gamers, this will harm the final quality of the game. Please don't reduce the difficulty of the game, thank you.

    Not enough that players are robbed of 60 bucks, they are flat out forced to play with the Denuvo-Virus.

    The game itself is more of a horde-mode 3rd-person shooter with pretty annoying combat-mechanics and boring leveldesign.

    It runs well at least, despite of DENUVO, but I have zero motivation to replay it and was more or less relieved when the end-credits rolled (it isn't even a particularly long game. It just tries to pad the playtime with mini-games and collectibles).

    Wish I'd invested the money into Everspace 2 instead.    … Expand

    Microtransactions must die

    Microtransactions, sometimes abbreviated as mtx, are a business model where users can purchase virtual goods with micropayments. Microtransactions are often used in free-to-play games to provide a revenue source for the developers.

    Bought Deluxe Edition just for OG soundtracks and they managed to remove serenity from save locations and made it just merchant theme. It's a good quality game but it's really kinda soulless and lacks of atmosphere. The only good merit of this game is graphics, most of the characters are generic and dull compared to the original, VA's are awful for the most part...

    Not worth it.

    The game looks good, but hey it's 2023 and it's RE Engine, that much had to be expected, it also runs great! On an overclocked 4090 that is! The game is horribly unstable, crashes all the time, I had to replay the same parts multiple times because of the game crashing not near a type writer or a checkpoint, it may crash every 10minutes or every 2 hours, but it's a pain.    Not worth it.

    The censorship was really unnecessary. It's a girl in a skirt and a couple jokes, just because a couple of people from twitter find them offensive now we gotta play a censored version of the game? We really need to dress Ashley more? What, are we back in 1800 where women couldn't show any skin or something? It's a videogame, not real life, and she doesn't even exist, so just leave her the way she was in the original, because yes those jokes and situations (that have been removed in the remake) where funny and gave the game part of it's personality, removing them makes the whole thing a bit more shallow.

    The lack of DLSS is the icing on the cake, I get it that the game is sponsored by AMD, but FSR sucks quality wise, it's looks like literal garbage. Even the little preview image in the settings where you have the toggle shows you an incredibly blurry image.
    There is a DLSS mod even though I had no luck with it, welp, thankfully I have a 4090, but if you don't do know that you can't enjoy max quality with DLSS thanks to AMD.

    Overall pretty disappointing, it's a watered down and more boring with less personality version of Resident Evil 4 with pretty graphics that crashes a lot of times.
    Don't buy this, and don't buy stuff that has been filtered by the Twitter Politically Correct Police, I did and regretted it.

    Update:
    A note that I have to add about voice acting.
    In my opinion almost everyone did a good job, but Ada was really subpar, Ada has a specific personality and her lines are meant to be read and played in a specific way, Lily Gao fails in doing this.
    Ada sounds bored, and rather than sounding like Ada it seems like she's trying to be Aloy from Forbidden West or any other generic wannabe bad female character, it's boring, repetitive, doesn't fit the character and quite frankly throws you off the immersion.

    Also, ignore those who discard negative reviews as **** trolls", no, those are legit complaints. The fact that some don't agree with it doesn't mean that who they don't agree with is a troll.    … Expand

    This game doesn't support DLSS even though it came out for PC

    And this remake too followed the graphic resources of the original re4

    So even though it came out later than re8village, it is less sophisticated and messier than re8village's graphics.

    Worst of all, they put out this game out, waited for the reviews to come in from youtubers and publications, and only then did they add in a ubisoft level aggregious microtransaction system where it costs real world money to upgrade your weapons.

    Some people might argue oh its not that bad, you can still beat the game without paying for any of the microtransactions, but like, the original didn't have any of that **** plus the mercenaries was included day 1 and separate ways was free if you bought the game on anything other than a GameCube.

    This is a remake that is worse than the game its remaking in most ways, so I consider it to be a failure at what's its trying to do. Please just go play the original RE4, it still holds up amazingly well and isn't gonna be pushing you to spend extra money to beat the game.    … Expand

    I'll start off by saying that I've played all of the main entries into the residen evil franchise since they were released and I was devastated when I played the old RE4 (2005) when it was first released as it changed so drastically from a zombie survival game to a corridor-shooter without any care for creating a realistic environment.

With that said, several years later with my disapointment sated I did replay the game and would score it higher than I did when first playing it.

    The remake of this game feels dated with the same corridor-shooting that worked perhaps 2005 but is far outdated today. The characters are bland and boring and the game is far too long for a game where almost nothing happens. The enemies are bland and boring except for a few encounters and the environments are not realistic at all. I fell in love with the RE2 remake since it took a concept and added a new layer to the police station that made it feel new yet the same. This game has none of that feeling.

    The only reason why it scores a 3 is because of the replayability and some of the changes made to the game compared to the 2005 version such as the removing of the most cringey coment and edgelord Leon moments. Still, can't recommend it as a Old-School RE fan as it brings much of the same that came to ruin the Survival Horror aspects of the franchise and gave us the more ridicoulus games that are RE5 and RE6.

    If you, however, enjoyed the 2005 version when it came out for its less focus on survival horror and more action-oriented approach I do think this game will be a 8-9 for you.    … Expand

    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.

    As far as remakes go, Resident Evil 4 is very solid, but very safe, to the point of losing some of the original’s spark. Early RE games used to be unashamedly goofy, and RE4R seems to be afraid of that legacy. [page 64]

    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.
