    One of the best games of this year & the best remake yet, it improves a lot of things from the original but still has the great things it had in the past, all the characters were treated amazing & it has the best graphics yet from the series

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To start this off, I just don't understand the mass bad reception here on Metacritic. I'm HOOKED on this game so far, and on my third playthrough right now. I've seen mixed complaints about everything in this game, too easy, too hard, good controls, bad controls, good story, bad story, good performance, bad performance, crashing, but I've only had a positive experience with this game and did not have a single horrible thing to say about it so far. First, the difficulty is perfect in my opinion. Standard is the difficulty I chose to play during my first playthrough, and this difficulty is a perfect option for new and returning players alike to get back into the world of RE4. The game doesn't try to baby you, at least on Standard difficulty and above, but isn't trying to beat you to the ground difficulty wise. Even the professional difficulty is balanced enough, assuming you've taken the assumed steps to unlock extra perks by beating the game on easier difficulties, for example Ashley's unlockable knight armor costume that makes her invincible to all damage, and the cat ear accessory for Leon that gives all his weapons infinite ammo. The combat is great here, being both responsive and smooth. The addition of knife parries is also a welcome feature, adding just a bit more defense to combat. The story here is good, but I do prefer the OG when it comes to certain character interactions and overall tone of the game. For example, Leon and Salazar get so much less interaction in this game, whereas in the original, there are multiple instances of Leon and Salazar bickering back and forth over the intercom cutscenes. Also, they've gone down a more serious tone in this game, which I fully expected. It's not bad in any way, but the more b-movie cheesiness is definitely scaled back a bit, which was a bit of a disappointment to see. It's not all bad however, as Ashley and Luis have much more personality and in Luis's case, more screen time in this game. Characters overall are done very well in this game, and I wish Capcom would've gave Leon more time to interact with his foes. Performance wise, my game looked and ran great, with not a single crash during my 32 hours of gameplay so far. I have a modern pc, with a Ryzen 5600 and a 6650xt, so I'm not sure how this game is running on older and more dated pcs, but I personally had a smooth experience, running 100+ fps with the games recommended settings for my hardware. My one big complaint that I see most negative reviews cover are the DLC microtransactions available for purchase. If these items were just skins, I'd have zero issue with this, but in reality, they offer 2 UNIQUE guns for purchase, along with upgrade tickets that boost the stats of your guns for purchase. I honestly have no clue why they chose to offer these transactions, as most people will not even consider buying miniscule content for a 60 dollar game. Pacing wise, this game totally stomps out the OG RE4 in my opinion. This game is now a smooth and action packed experience, but still not afraid to slow things down once in awhile for character interaction and short breathers, while not cutting too much content. One notable cut they've made is to the U-3 boss in the remake, and honestly I think this cut was for the best, pacing wise. The U-3 boss in the OG is fun, but feels somewhat out of place and random. I've seen the rumors that the U-3 boss will be in the also rumored, but basically confirmed, Separate Ways DLC coming out soon, and I think that U-3 will fit much better in the context of a separate and differing playthrough of the game. Besides the rather scummy and out of the blue business practice that Capcom has shoved into this game, I don't have any major complaints. I highly recommend this title to new players and returning lovers of the original alike.… Expand

    RE4 it's a pretty solid remake in terms of story-telling (characters like Ashley and Luis are much more involved in the story, as well as Leon's interactions with Ashley. Leon is more on par with his RE2 Remake version same as the story and the tone itself and the continuity: Leon mentioning how the Racoon City events affected him, him having his pistol from Kendo - a gun shop owner in RE2RE4 it's a pretty solid remake in terms of story-telling (characters like Ashley and Luis are much more involved in the story, as well as Leon's interactions with Ashley. Leon is more on par with his RE2 Remake version same as the story and the tone itself and the continuity: Leon mentioning how the Racoon City events affected him, him having his pistol from Kendo - a gun shop owner in RE2 (you can see written on it his name) and his knife from Marvin; and pacing (which RE3 Remake butchered). So it's not as bad as RE3 was regarding them and this game keeps almost the entire key moments of the original game intact, unlike 3 which cut half the game.

    The cut content are some traps and rooms in the Castle, the U-3 boss fight (which is likely to be in Separate Ways, since it's mentioned in the note files from the game), the laser room (which was more of a filler in the original most likely to promote the 2002 RE movie), the QTEs like the boulder runs, the gondola which you used it to reach to the warehouse has now been replaced with a Mendez chase sequence; Salazar's statue, which has been replaced with one that shoots fire. The Island has certain areas reworked either for better or for worse, that's subjective.

    The good parts are that the game has many details that weren't there in the original like
    - Leon holding his pistol in different stances, Ashley tiptoes around dead enemies, some bridges break if they get enough damage, Leon's breathing increasing depending on how much you are running and him rubbing his shoulder if you shoot with the rifle for too long, the Brute losing its control while on bridge, Leon using walls as support if he has low health, and his aim being affected by his health level, Leon and Ashley reacting to wind and rain, the flashbang won't affect Leon if he's wearing the sunglasses cosmetic. As well as references to the original concept of RE4, known as RE 3.5, such as his jacket, him holding the pistol and the flashlight in dark areas, and the deer head falling down.

    - Some sound effects are pretty good, the save theme captures the atmosphere of this remake like 2's one did. The parry, dodge and stealth add variety to the gameplay, but I can see why others won't like them. Also you won't be able to always use the stealth, being a method for gathering resources before a fight, and the knife has limited durability which can be expanded. The lake sequence is more explorable now and the shooting range got expanded with charms that you can unlock, one of them being a reference to the Striker glitch in the original, the Striker charm giving you a boost in speed like the glitch in the Gamecube version of the original. The rest of charms being models which they were in the original game which also have their original names, which I think it's a nice touch. The golden egg can be used against Salazar, taking a big amount of damage from him. The achievements have the name of some of the original's one-liners. Also the remake barely has any bugs or glitches unlike of few of other modern games.

    Overall it's a good game on its own, but it could have been better in art and cinematic direction: the boss transformations are pretty underwhelming when compared with the original, in other instances the game lacks the original's game charm. Also Ada's voice acting suffers from lack of direction. Salazar while being less present, he now always stands at a higher place than Leon showing his insecurity which is a nice story detail but he could have used more screen time.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    While not quite a masterpiece like the original, this is still a great game. You can tell this was carefully crafted with the original in mind. Many small details have mostly been preserved. The game may play differently, but it all comes together to give you the same feeling as playing RE4 again for the first time. The fact that this isn't terrible is some kind of miracle.

Many small details have mostly been preserved. The game may play differently, but it all comes together to give you the same feeling as playing RE4 again for the first time. The fact that this isn't terrible is some kind of miracle.

    What holds it back from a perfect score is that it often takes one step forward, one step back in it's design. For every improvement, there is a new negative aspect added along the way. For example, movement is now much less restrictive, yet it feels way more clunky and unresponsive compared to the original. Knives are overall improved, but the guns' crosshair bloom replaces laser sights for more RNG based shooting. Ashley is overall much improved character, but unfortunately her AI has been downgraded. Krauser has been improved with more backstory and dynamic with Leon, the tradeoff being that Saddler has lost all personality and charm. Same with Luis and Ada; Luis is better, but Ada is worse.

    I am pointing out these negatives to highlight why I still prefer the original. Yes, most of the good stuff has been preserved from the original, which is why I give it such a high score. I don't need to repeat why RE4 is so great as it's been said a million times already. I have had a great time with over 150 hours already. I just can't help but be a little disappointed that Capcom didn't try harder to actually improve what was already there, instead we get these little weird tradeoffs. I could go on and on, but ultimately the game is still great. Just....not quite the masterpiece the original was.    … Expand

    Я считаю, что надо было делать переосмысление, и вырезать нафиг локацию с Замком и финальную, несмотря на то, что да, я согласен, что это одна из лучших игр года, и, даже чуть лучше недавнего крутого ремейка моего любимого Деда Спейса, Деревня невероятно атмосферная, но это только треть игры, после нее игра уже меня не цепляла и очень "душила", кто-то скажет субъективно, но представьте, что начиналась бы первая треть игры с замка, вас бы точно так не затянуло, я не говорю, что должен быть один сеттинг на всю игру, но приключенческий боевик должен увлекать на протяжении всего хронометража, ну или пугать.. Что страшного в финале игры - вообще непонятно,
    Еще и цветовую гамму побоялись особо изменять, она, конечно, не настолько оранжево-унылая, как в оригинале, но самый первый уровень с синевато-мрачным визуалом был гораздо лучше, а потом всю игру опять оранжевая сероватость, также боссы меня совсем не впечатлили, как обычно в Резике - унылые серые дизайны, по геймплею средние, хотя бой на ножах с "Краузером", конечно, гениален. Крч "Рокн-Ролла" и кардинальных изменений от Ремейка не ждите, это - моя главная претензия.
    Из классных мелочей, что мне запомнилось: "Пиратский" тир - одна из самых кайфовых бонусных мини-игр, что я видел в играх, у торговца неплохая озвучка, тупые шутки Леона - это прям то, что надо, а также я обязан отметить "повседневную" куртка Леона из "Deluxe" издания, с ней прям персонаж чувствуется по-другому, за около 300р можно докупить отдельным длс, но такое нужно делать бесплатно, обладатели обычной версии же даже не узнают о нём.
    Технически Re:Engine далеко не некст-ген, местами в узких комнатках текстуры стен не отличить от PS1, и я ни разу не шучу, общая детализация объектов тоже оставляет желать лучше, поэтому также не пойму похвал графике от критиков, но, в целом, для игры с динамичными боями, приемлемо.
    Поиграть первые 5-7 часов стоит всем, но проходить полностью одну из лучших игр года, как не парадоксально, но я считаю, необязательно.
    p.s. Нельзя было сразу это выпустить пару лет назад, а не абсолютно ненужный рескин семёрки - Re:Village, который хуже во всём, но нет, Capcom же нужны все деньги мира.

The only big problems I had with this game were things like movement (tf is that wobbly movement tho) and some combat sequences, I literally don't understand why they made the combat areas so damn small and then spawned something like 55 enemies from which 4 had chainsaws or some **** like that, that is just frustrating, but when the combat worked it worked fine and was very fun.

    Ashley: "Leon!"
    Leon: "Ashley!"
    Ashley: "*Feminine Screaming!" Leon: "Ashley!" This is the thing that you will go through when you meet Ashley for the first time, and I like it. Also, Ashley is also pretty, that's all I'm saying. Ok now for the rest of the game, this is a well-made game, I never played the 2005 Original so Resident Evil 4 is a first for me. In the past, I have    Ashley: "Leon!"
    Leon: "Ashley!"
    Ashley: "*Feminine Screaming!"
    Leon: "Ashley!"

    This is the thing that you will go through when you meet Ashley for the first time, and I like it. Also, Ashley is also pretty, that's all I'm saying.

    Ok now for the rest of the game, this is a well-made game, I never played the 2005 Original so Resident Evil 4 is a first for me. In the past, I have played the RE2 and RE3 Remake and It seems Capcom is on a roll, however, I still have a few problems with this game.

    The problems:
    In-game problems (These can vary from gameplay to mechanics)
    External Game Problems(These are content and other features)
    Misc (Small little pick here and there.)

    So first In-game problems, Leon moves like an old man, I would have appreciated an actual dodge mechanic like the last of us part 2, the quick turn is the most useless feature ever, because sometimes you misclick and it ruins the flow of the game and you get hit for stupid reasons.
    Stealth in this game is also kind of pointless you can just run around in sections mostly and shoot away.
    Guns are like baby pellet guns, I played this game on Easy first, and with a fully upgraded pistol, I expect 1 maybe 2 bullets to kill an enemy when shooting them in the head on Easy. Instead, it's like this:
    *Headshot
    The enemy is stunned
    *Headshot again - 1 bullet
    Enemy still walking
    *Headshot again - 1 bullet
    Ok Now he is dead, sike he is on the floor reviving
    *He wakes up
    *Shoots again - 1 bullet
    Nothing happens
    *Shoots again - 1 bullet
    Ok, now he is dead.

    In most cases, it's like that sometimes they drop after 2 or 3, the shotgun is the best weapon.
    Next is Ashley, It maybe would have been better for Ashley to help a bit, maybe allow her to stun some enemies and then run away and hide. Instead, it's like this, you look away for one second and Ashley is already being taken away.

    Next is external Problems, I'm going to say it Capcom, stop putting microtransactions in your games for a quick buck, and just sell games please, Adding the mercenaries update and some ticket pay-to-win mechanics is not a good practice. And of course the big D...Denuvo, I don't want some 3rd party DRM slowing this game down and potentially ruining the experience. I'm here to buy your game, not some 3rd party DRM that can tax my machine.

    Misc problems, it has to do with the changes of some scenes in the game, including when you play the game for the first time, We were also supposed to pen the game and hear RESIDENT EVIL FOUR, but that didn't happen, the moment was spoiled. And I believe in the game there were some character and scene changes, I'm unfamiliar with them But I will take them into account.

    Other than that, a really polished game, I never experienced any bugs or crashes and wasn't overly frustrated with the game mechanically, but I do think RE2 is still better than this game slightly.

    Graphics: 9/10, The use of Quixel Megascan assets is kinda cheating.
    Story: 8/10, Some things are not explained, and some things are dragged out for too long.
    Characters: 9/10, Nice characters, Ashley is Pretty, Leon is a Chad, and the others are fine.
    Gameplay: 6/10, It's playable, I expected some better use of mechanics, Quicktime events are not mechanics.
    Performance and Polish: 10/10, That's shiny.
    Scumbaggery(Oh what this? This is a new section where I can tell how much of a scumbag Publishers can be, 0 is for nothing 10 is for...well you know): so 8/10, Its a Remake with Microtransactions, and DRM to put it lightly.

    So overall what shall I bequeath thee, CAPCOM, I'm fighting between a 7 and a 8, I think its a 8/10, If you remove all those MTs, and DRM then +1, if you did some innovative mechanics and kept some scenes and features then +1, you'd have a perfect game, it doesn't have to be 100% of the original, it just needs to be really really close.

    Ok that's it, I know my reviews can be long but thanks for reading, and pick this game up on a quick sale when you get a chance.    … Expand

    Fun game but one of the major issues I have with it is Leon himself. He's supposedly a special agent. He says in the opening cutscene that he almost died during his special training. Yet his movement is rigid and I've seen better combat skills from civilians in other games.

    Parry with knife is a fantastic new update that you'll undoubtedly use throughout the game. Organizing inventory is a lot of fun.
    There are sufficient resources and guns are good. With SG-09 R Handgun, I mostly used the Riot Shotgun and TMP. It's fun to upgrading weapons and making money.
    And Ashley, what a burden she is xd. However, she becomes useful near the end, i'll give her that.
    And then there is Luis, aka Don Quixote. I love that he is getting more screen time. He is, after all, a important character in the RE universe. He worked at "Umbrella Europe Laboratory Six" as a researcher.
    Which the lab that responsible for overseeing the Nemesis Project. (RE3)
    His new death scene, which is better than the previous one, has my approval. I'm hoping to see his past in other games or remakes.

    At Standard difficulty, it wasn't challenging for me to play.
    The bosses weren't too difficult to kill, and puzzles were simple. The environment and graphics are fantastic and feel very real. The atmosphere is thrilling but not too frightening.
    And i must say that i loved the Shooting Range.
    I'll surely return to this game.

    Now I have a complaint about the redesign of Leon's character.
    Leon was certainly not a figure like the in this remake when CAPCOM originally created the 2005 version game.
    He tells poor jokes, makes useless comments about events etc. New Leon's lack of experience is so clear. He's acting different. This new 'Leon' is nothing like the 2005 version of himself.
    Additionally, his new face from RE2 Remake simply does not suit Leon. I hated his new character overhaul.
    Leon the gothic, self-assured soldier was fine, suited him well. I wish he stayed like that.    … Expand

There are a few things that kept this remake from swimming in the same territory of greatness as the original. The game needs iframes badly. The enemies and bosses can hit you over and over before you can properly recover. This gets extremely frustrating. In the original, Leon moves stiffly but is swift once you start running. In the remake Leon is really clunky(not the same as stiff) and it makes running feel really off, and in fights it can be infuriating. Its significantly worse than the running in "The Witcher 3". I don't care if it makes his movement more real, its not immersive because it makes movement really frustrating. In the last fight, right before you fire the red rocket at Saddler, I got stunned locked by the tentacle and almost died. I couldn't do anything but watch Leon take 4 hits from the tentacles. That is just one example of nearly a hundred in one playthrough. How many of you have called bullcrap on dynamite sticks being thrown at you?

    The game has a difficulty problem as well, it throws wild curve balls at you from time to time. I started on hardcore and the opening was getting to me. Until I realized that the time you have to survive is shorter than the original, but it was well done. The fight with Mendez was a joke, the second part of it was just scripted/movie garbage, not real gameplay. The fight with Lago was really easy this time, you don't fall off the boat if you hit the trees in the water....Then there are parts that are very very difficult such as the Regeneratos and Iron Maidens. They are much too fast for how clunky Leon is. They were difficult in the original, but here they are nightmarish. The Novistadors have been reduced to absolute cannon fodder, why are they even in the game?

    Last and probably least are the design choices, some of this might be nitpicking on my part but I will list some anyway. Ada's voice in English is horrendously bad, its jarring, it takes me out of the experience of the game. Its like something out of a Neil Breen movie. Krauser's is quite bad too, horrible voice, but unlike Ada's, at least the voice actor is trying to act and not read lines like he's dying from a serious case of boredom. The game is going for a darker, more horror look over the original and in most areas I think it succeeds, but when it doesn't it fails miserably. Take the wolf enemies for example, they look too chubby and almost cute. In the original they looked like real animals and thus a bit scary to fight. Chief Mendez too, he just looks like a big chunky dude, not sinister like in the original. The first Garrador was not only too easy, but they also removed his torturous and unnerving scream. The Chainsaw maniac's eyes are too bright and cutesy...Ugh why? Then they removed the one fight in the original that can be scary or at least creepy, the fight with "It". I was also hoping they wouldn't load the game with needless cursing, but its 2023 and it was naïve to hope for that. The game doesn't have mercenaries either which I find very disappointing.

    The game is totally worth it and if they were to patch some of the things I mentioned, then the remake could stand next to the original easily. I am starting to convince myself that some people were right about the RE Engine, its not very good, at least not for RE4's much faster gameplay.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, this is not a 10/10 game. The critics lied and it is more like an 8/10 at best. The game is good overall but it has some issues. Having just beat it on Standard and everyone already knowing the pros I will list some of the cons:

    - The game is too hard even on Standard and is ridiculous and downright sadistic on a clean playthrough on Hardcore and Pro. Standard is probably 30% harder than the OG on Pro which is dumb for what is supposed to be a normal difficulty level. The OG had an almost perfectly balanced difficulty on Normal when it came out in 2005. As of this writing which is over a month after the game came out, only 49% of PC players have beaten the game on Standard according to Steam statistics and that is because the game is too hard with less than 30% having beat it on Hardcore and some portion of that 30% includes new game plus players using end game weapons. 99% of players didn't want to play a Souls game.

    - As so many others have reported the new RNG aiming system is ridiculous. This does improve dramatically once you can put the laser sight on a few of the pistols but of course they then limit the sight to a couple of handguns only for "balancing reasons." Literally all of the OG fans who played it in 2005 just wanted the Red9 or Blacktail with the laser again and they made the dumb decision to remove that. Sniper rifle accuracy even when the high magnification scope is also janky and too hard to land headshots. It's not a "skill issue," it's just a poor implementation. Aiming becomes much better with a mouse vs controller but still is janky and most don't want to play with mouse keyboard these days even on PC.

    - The shooting range is almost impossible to perfectly S rank using controllers even with the deadzones adjusted and still too hard even using a mouse due to the RNG aiming system. No one wanted to sink hours into each range just to S rank them all. A month out from the game's release and only 26% of PC players have S ranked them all and that doesn't mean a perfect S rank which proves that the range is poorly designed and too hard.

    - Ammo is too scarce to the point that even if you play well you're lucky to have 12 shotgun shells and 10 sniper rounds at any given time. RE4 is supposed to be action horror not some old school RE survival horror-action horror hybrid and the game's enjoyment suffers as a result. The OG would let you stock up a decent amount but not a ridiculous amount either as a reward for having good accuracy which was much more fun overall.

    - Headshots not always staggering enemies was a dumb design decision that ruins the crowd management aspect of the OG. Granted using the laser sight seems to cause most of the enemies pre-island to always stagger but it's dumb you need the laser sight for that considering you are then forced to use the starting handgun or the punisher for the entire game which are early game weapons with low maximum damage.

    - The knife parry mechanic is bugged and randomly doesn't work 10% to 20% of the time. I would reload the same save multiple times near a single low level ganado, let them swing a hatchet and try everything from spamming the parry / knife ready button to watching for the perfect parry prompt and one time out of five on average no parry would be performed and I would take damage. This while playing the game with a perfect high framerate.

    - The stupid grab move that so many of the enemies spam is ridiculous because you can't parry it and trying to duck it only works half the time at best.

    - No bonus weapons with infinite ammo after beating the game on Standard is ridiculous and then forcing the player to speed run the game on professional to unlock even the Chicago sweeper is even more ridiculous. Capcom did this primarily to force people to buy the inevitable $5 DLC unlock pack that they eventually offered for the RE2 remake. The other reason was to appease the Twitch influencer speed run loving cheeto beard crowd who have ruined gaming with their willingness to play through the same game twenty times to unlock anything. The OG gave you the sweeper after beating standard which is what they should've done here especially after RE8 (Village) unlocked the infinite Dragoon assault rifle after beating it on Standard.

    - The Extra Content Shop sucks in general compared to RE8 with a bunch of cosmetic only costumes and even the infinite ammo weapons and so on only require a few thousand points to unlock. The result is that on a first playthrough you work hard to earn challenge points for ends up being nothing compared to RE8.

    - The game has optimization issues that result in a lower framerate then it should have.

    - The Ada Wong voice actor is beyond terrible and it's clear she put forth zero effort into the job.

    - Cut OG dialogue and a more serious tone that doesn't fit the setting don't mesh well

    That being said, the game play is a little ..meh. It's kind of fun for the first 2 hours of the game or so, it just becomes point, mash buttons and run around after that.

    The puzzles are uninspired to say the least, either too simple or just stupidly obtuse.

    Compare this to a similar modern title like shadow of the tomb raider and it just becomes silly.

    There are some truly unique experiences to be had, I won't spoil them in this review.

    It's really linear , though you can go back and do things you missed, especially in the partner mode.

    I got through chapter 14 and just couldn't finish it, it just became more of the same old annoying so I just put it down, maybe one day i'll go back and complete....but probably not..i just don't care what happens.

    The voice acting, especially the supporting characters is kinda mediocre.

    The story is old rewashed hero's journey....maybe that worked at the first release but it doesn't now,

    This definitely isn't a 60 dollar title...maybe 20 bucks. Wait for it to go on sale, except for the graphics, you ain't missing anything special.    … Expand

A parte de esto, han eliminado zonas enteras y bosses del original sin introducir ningún boss nuevo a cambio.

    The most important aspect of any game is how it controls.
    More important than gameplay, graphics or lore.

    More important than gameplay, graphics or lore.
    And this game simply does not control good in any way.

    I don't know what they were thinking.
    The original Resident Evil 4 was more of an action adventure.
    Maybe they wanted to go further into the direction of survival horror and made the controls that tedious on purpose, or they just wanted to recycle the code of RE2 remake, but they really have overdone it.

    Your character has so much movement based inertia now, that he feels as if he is constantly walking on ice. Every single input has a weird delay to it. You can't turn on a dime anymore and if you stop moving your analog stick, your character keeps going for a short time. It just feels wrong, even for a survival horror game.

    In this game they screwed up every single aspect of movement:

    + The camera is constantly so close to your character that it really feels nauseating, even for people who are not prone to motion sickness. And if you aim down sight it zooms in even more, to a point where it gets almost completely impractical.

    + Every single animation, including aiming down sight, takes forever to perform, with really long drawn out animations.

    + Your last resort weapon, the knife , has durability now and often breaks, so that it gets unusable on a regular base. Nobody asked for that change. Just like nobody asked for them replacing the laser pointer on your starter weapon with a very view obstructing widespread cross-hair.

    + Oh and headshots and ankle shots do not reliably stagger anymore.
    Out of some weird reason they randomized the amount of shots you need to stagger enemies now, which is really bad for no hit runs and general playing in higher difficulties.

    The whole game is just super unresponsive to control overall.
    Your character just simply never does what you want him to do and constantly lags half a second behind. Almost as if you would stream the game in the cloud from halfway across the world.

    +They also cut a lot of content, including some locations and a boss fight, probably just to resell them as DLC.

    + And the english voice acting is really bad. The game also completely lost its campy nature and humor and has a much more serious tone now, which is really unfitting for how ridiculous the setting is.

    Conclusion:

    They put a lot of effort into the game.
    Mostly into the presentation.
    But the things which really matter like controls, camera, faithfulness to the original, do the gameplay mechanics work and make sense, are all handled significantly worse than in the original game.

    If the controls were better, than it would be a 7-8/10 type of game.
    In its current state, it is a 6/10.

    There are mods available to fix many of the issues (no further zoom in on ads, larger FOV, unbreakable knife, reliable stagger on headshot, laser pointer on base pistol, no yellow paint on interactables, patching the obnoxious rain effects out of the game, no more constant grunting and out of breath sounds from Leon and Ashley) but mods cant fix everything.

    Up to this point there is no mod to patch the sluggish controls due to the movement based inertia and the cut content does also not come back with mods. Maybe the cut content is buyable via dlc later on.

    Its probably smart to wait 6-12 month until mods fix the movement and then buy the game plus dlc for 30 dollar in total. But even then the original seems just a better game overall, level design and gameplaywise, if you can handle the rustic look.    … Expand

This is a Frankensteinian mix of og RE4's action gameplay, and the survival horror of RE7-8. If you enjoyed RE4 (2005), play this one on Standard difficulty, and never touch the other difficulties.

    I don't understand why capcom don't want to remake their games the way they did with the 1st remake which was the remastered/remade RE game that got released on Gamecube and later on ported to steam and next gen consoles. To this day, I still think that is the perfect remake of a classic and it even got rid of the need to bother and play the PS1 OG Resident Evil. They did a great job with 2 Remake though . I'm not going to talk about 3 Remake, it was horrible.

    Sadly, RE 4 remake didn't quite live up to the OG. Cut content as usual, removing a lot of personality from the game, removing many cheesy yet iconic lines making the game so bland . RE 4 was never about horror . That claustrophobic, puzzle solving and strategic horror-survival element ended with 3 . RE 4 was just a goofy, yet funny and lively b-movie like game full of action and character, you remove that aspect and you simply end up with a generic action game .

    I've read many reviews in here, and I don't believe this is trolling. You can clearly see people bringing many solid points on why they did not like the game. I give it a 5 because like I said it's an okay remake especially after the atrocity that we got not too long ago.

    After this remake, now I'm certain that capcom don't really care about the old fans anymore, and they're just making games for a completely new audience, and clearly, they don't even like the original games. I think maybe we, old RE fans, should move on and forget about this franchise

    It gets a few points for the nice new coat of paint and a few gameplay tweaks, but that's all this game has going for it. It's just an imposter wearing the skin of a better game. Let's break down a few things:

He was smart,    It gets a few points for the nice new coat of paint and a few gameplay tweaks, but that's all this game has going for it. It's just an imposter wearing the skin of a better game. Let's break down a few things:

    Tone:
    The tone of RE4 was one that perfectly balanced action and b-movie horror camp. Leon was a seasoned special ops veteran years after the events of RE2. He was smart, sassy, a bit of a flirt, but still took his job seriously. Several of his iconic lines from the original are here in this game...but their delivery falls completely flat because they are being delivered by RE2-Remake Leon, not RE4 Leon. And that shift in character and tone /fundamentally/ changes everything about this game. RE2-Remake Leon is a boring misery guts, and that tone carries over here, ruining the vibe that defined RE4.

    Dialogue:
    Many of the famous Leon sassy lines from RE4 are here, but again they don't fit with this version of Leon. It feels forced, and I hate that feeling. Additionally Luis' slightly flirtatious, lecherous character has been completely sanded off. In RE4 he makes a passing remark about Ashley's chest...which she rightfully calls him out for and chews him out. Removing Ashley's agency and removing this dialogue from the game removes these fun character moments. There's also dialogue removed where Ashley offers herself to Leon after everything they've been through, giving a lead female character a nice bit of sexual agency that the remake takes away. Leon turns her down of course, he's a professional and not a perv, and it was nice to see that interaction play out realistically and maturely. There's just so much character and sass from the original game that seems to have been sanded off somewhere along the way.

    Color:
    This may be a petty complaint, but...all the RE engine games are really dark and look washed out in their environment design. The original, while mostly awash with browns and greens, was still brightly lit and looked dynamic due to great art direction. The RE4-Remake environments certainly look more detailed, but everything just looks too cluttered and dark. There's something about the design for many of the REmakes in the RE Engine that just does not work for me. It lacks...vibrancy and sense of artistic variation. This leaves environments just feeling monotonous somehow.

    Gameplay:
    I don't understand the decision to add meaningless busywork to RE4-Remake. The original had lots of optional short bonus objectives for money, but those were quick and usually just for extra collectibles (completely optional). In the RE4-Remake, there are way too many "go here kill 3 rats" / "backtrack into another area and break something" side missions. They feel like open world busywork, and it feels like you /have/ to do them because the loot system in the remake is so much stingier with quality drops.

    Character Models:
    Like...there are a few characters I think that are actually as good as RE4 or better in the remake (Hunnigan and Mendez look terrific), but Ashley looks like Leon with a longer, stupider haircut. Salazar looks /atrocious/. Saddler looks...okay albeit bland. Again, RE4 even with its limited graphics gave these characters such life and personality with good art direction, but the stiff, awkwardness of the RE Engine models just look...like ****

    It's a fine way to play RE4 if that's all you want...but it's not as good as the original. Not even remotely close.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With the original Resident Evil 4 the team set out to make something new and allowed the game to take the shape it wanted to, they caught lightning in a bottle and history was made. Why Capcom thought they could do this twice is beyond me.

    Pros:

    -The combat actually feels good, the impact from your physical attacks respond well to the environment
    - I like how they improved the Gigante fight by having the dog do more doing the fight. He even stays after the fight so you can thank him personally. The goodest boi!
    - Luis is a more long term coop buddy allowing you to form a stronger bond with him
    - The Merchant
    - The improved shooting gallery
    - The Donkey Kong Mine cart section is way more fun
    - They expand on Krauser and Luis' backstories, for the better in my opinion.

    Cons:

    - U3 Boss fight from the original was cut
    - Remember when they removed all the jokes pertaining to Ashley's body and anything that remotely seemed like flirting from RE4VR? Well they did the same thing here and replaced them all with awful MCU quips, as is the style of the time.
    - Speaking of Ashley, Capcom is well aware of the public perception of the original Ashley and as a result they have over corrected to the point where the game tries to trick you in to thinking she's more useful by constantly having her spout dialogue like "We're a team! Right Leon?". Yes Capcom, we get it, we can't have a damsel in distress in stories anymore! If you looked anymore insecure I would think you didn't actually care and you wanted to increase your ESG score! (Fyi there was nothing wrong with Ashley in the original, you were just bad at the game!)
    - The voice acting is serviceable in most places but the voices for Krauser and Ada can't be described as anything else than terrible. Whoever was in charge of casting should be fired because I don't know how a blunder like that got past the radar.
    - The Castle while still present was shortened significantly from the original.
    - Separate Ways is paid DLC-- WHAT
    - Mercenaries not available at launch. Supposed to be a free update and I'm hoping against hope it's not a live service trap. (Hah!)
    - PC version has Denuvo

    In conclusion, game's not bad but it's not the new masterpiece critics and certain fans say it is. A good remake keeps the foundation of what made the original good and adds on to it, this is not what I see here. As I mentioned before the original was something new and it took the form it wanted to take, this one while it does some things better is also being held back by cutting out content and adhering to modern sensibilities to the point where it's embarrassed to be associated with the cheesiness and B movie fun of the original. If you really want to check this out and you haven't played the original yet I highly recommend playing the original first, it still holds up, it's on sale all the time and the HD project mod breathes new life in to the game that is so good it honestly makes this remake irrelevant. There really is no reason for this game to exist when we could have gotten a remake of Code Veronica instead.    … Expand

    Terrible art style, terrible characters models, bad graphics.

    Remember when Capcom used to have new games with massive graphics improvement? From RE2 to RE3 in the 90s, to 5 years later RE4 a game that was on a league of its own when it comes to RE games graphics and looked better than most games in its generation, and then doing it again with RE5 who looked better in every area than    Terrible art style, terrible characters models, bad graphics.

Now Capcom is trash when it comes to that, there's barely any difference from RE2 to RE4 remake, on top of that these new games have terrible art style like I said which makes things even worse, you can barely see anything in certain locations, and of course its because Capcom doesn't want us to look at the terrible RE Engine textures, extremely lazy.

    Leon and Ada are the same trash models from RE2. Original RE4 and RE6 Leon and Ada models are SO MUCH better. Remember when Capcom kept making new models for every new RE game but no one cared because they were all amazing? It's a good thing to have the same models returning but only when they are good, the thing is that Leon and Ada from RE2 are trash. Luis and Wesker models are trash too. They took everything that made those characters cool.

    The voice of acting of those characters are also terrible. RE voice acting was great in the late 2000s, back when every character looked and sounded memorable. What happened? We know using the same things again isn't a issue for Capcom, as they have been using many of the assets they created for RE7 in every single new RE game, and that's why the new RE games look so cheap. So why not use the same voice actors from the past? Those cheap **** are trying to save as much money as possible, no wonder most of the new RE games are mostly just a copy and paste. Same trash art style for every single new RE game, same trash character models, same assets for 4 games in a row. But they can't bring back the voices that made those characters popular, no, that's too much for them. Maybe they are trying to save money with that too, and it's less expensive to bring new people to do the voice acting, who knows.

    But of course dudes are giving 10 to this trash, because they don't understand gaming. This is just the new generation, the same dogs who think Fortnite is good, they don't know when a game is actually good because they haven't played any.

    Gun sounds are terrible. Amount of cut content are terrible. Leon movement animations are terrible.

    Leon in the original was extremely stylish like Dante, literally every single animation of Leon was created to make him as stylish and cool as possible, which suited his personality very well. Now Leon personality is changed to worse, and theres literally 0 stylish things about him, even the spinning kick looks dumb as **** but his movement is just the worst.

    This game is going to be hyped for about 2 months and then everyone is going to forget about it, it will never be a classic that people kept playing for 20 years like the original.    … Expand

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

    Por lo demás el juego se hace aburrido enseguida, solo lo puedo recomendar para fans del original.    … Expand

    Bought Deluxe Edition just for OG soundtracks and they managed to remove serenity from save locations and made it just merchant theme.

    Its a Resident Evil game for people who don't like Resident evil.

    RE4 Remake on the other hand feels like life- and soulles cashgrab.

    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.

    I don't think Capcom realized how difficult a job it was undertaking before this game came out. Make the best video game ever in history again. There are so many things to say before we start examining it that I don't know where to start. In the past, when asked a question about what would have happened if Re4 had been a terrible game, everyone would have said Re5. Now the answer to thisI don't think Capcom realized how difficult a job it was undertaking before this game came out. Make the best video game ever in history again. There are so many things to say before we start examining it that I don't know where to start. In the past, when asked a question about what would have happened if Re4 had been a terrible game, everyone would have said Re5. Now the answer to this question is Re4 remake. Everything about the original game has been made terrible. Let's move on to our review. Let's start with the mechanics. I want to mention the RE Engine, although this game engine was very bad, it didn't make itself noticeable from a woody camera angle like FPS, but when the Re2 remake came out, it slowly became clear how bad this game engine was. The feel of the hit and their physics were very bulky and unresponsive, but due to the structure of Re 2 remake, the zombies already had low artificial intelligence and were not very understood in this game either. The original game was such an active game that even when the remake demo came out, I saw that the RE engine could not withstand this active gameplay and how terrible the mechanics of the game made it. Enemies often don't react when they're hit The TPS camera angle is bad, no one expected it to be as good as the original game anyway, because the original game still has the best TPS mechanics and perspective ever, and there's been no equivalent, there's just been some close ones. Unfortunately, Re4 remake has become one of the games with the worst TPS mechanics ever. As for the gameplay, there is self-defense with a knife in the game, and it definitely doesn't work properly, most of the time you get hit by the enemy, and this raises your nerve level quite a lot. I would like to mention the boss fights, but I will give them a separate place at the end of the review. Now we can move on to the department designs. There are too many sections removed from the original game and it affects the fluency of the game a lot, the village where we started the game interpreted the original game in reverse and we are going the opposite way. As for the castle section, it feels very different from the original game, most of the places have been removed, most of them have been made of terrible designs, most of them feel like a huge empty box. There is nothing to mention in the island section, most of the places have been changed, just like the castle. Unlike the original game, the episode designs do not contribute to the mechanics of the game, soulless designs. Now there is something I want to mention in the original version of Re4. Atmosphere, ambience and music these three things made the ojrnial game one of the best horror games ever in history. Re 4 remake is a disgrace in this regard, even the remake has become a complete action game. Re4 remake is the same action game as Re5. The atmosphere, ambience and music have been completely removed, you are doing nothing but shooting enemies who are flocking to you, and the terrible TPS mechanics of the game make this situation even more difficult. The terrible music has been completely removed. If you play the game in its original sounds, these soundtracks come back, but the fact that the atmosphere of the game is a disgrace negatively affects these soundtracks as well. Now we can come to the boss designs that I mentioned at the beginning of the review. All the bosses in the game repeat the same movements, whose modified designs have become incredibly easy and simple, until the fight is over. Salazar, the krauser bosses have been radically changed and have become a disgrace, I don't even want to talk about salazar in particular. Tactical analysis in bosses, you just need to rain bullets on them with your removed weapons. The bosses show their weak points themselves. As I said, the other bosses are incredibly easy to either do the same moves or jump around, especially the last boss. In addition, one of the best and most iconic bosses of the game, U-3, has been removed from the game. Along with Verdigo, I strongly condemn the makers of the two scariest and most difficult bosses in the Resident evil series. The Verdigo boss is one of the most difficult bosses in the history of the game, you feel almost soulslike desperation, and now that this difficulty has been completely eliminated, you can rain all your bullets on Verdigo. There are a few things I would like to mention one last time. I want to talk about the character modeling of the game. In this game, the photorealistic character graphics continue, and all the characters look so terrible. Separate ways, Assignment Ada and mercenaries are not in the game. We came to the end of our review, the original game was the best game ever in history, Capcom couldn't handle it. If they had pushed a little harder, it would have been a game as outrageous as Re Village and Operation Raccoon City Re 4 remake. As for the rating of the game, 20/100… Expand

    I am disappointed by game play, music, art style, dialogue, voice actors, and cut content. The game cannot in any way be a replacement for the original 2005 version, and i doubt it will be remembered in a few months.

    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

    The camera is too close to be fighting El Gigante, the water visual against Del Lago is trash, the cinematography of the movie is very bad compared to the original, and the most stupid thing is that in this game you can kill Ashley, but they removed the word "women" which makes it non sense for censorship and also they cut other iconic words, what a lazy developer.    … 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.
