    The best game remake to date. It's rare that I finish a game and immediately start another playthrough. Great pacing, great combat... the game simply slaps.

    No idea why so many negative scores.
    Personally, i think it's an incredible remake, up there with RE1 and RE2 Remake.
    I like the more serious and darker tone. It's a stunning looking game in all aspects and you can tell the developers put a lot of passion into it.

    It's one of the greatest remakes i have ever played.

    Resident Evil 4 on the PC runs flawlessly with everything at maximum settings, high textures, 4k. System is RYZEN 5, 3600, 32 gb ram, RTX 4070ti w/ 16gb shared memory with graphics card. Graphics are a great upgrade and the environment really puts you in the mood for survival horror.

    The story and game play beats are a good evolution from the original and the pacing is on the mark.

    The story and game play beats are a good evolution from the original and the pacing is on the mark. None of the game felt like it was drawn out, and there is incentive to backtrack for bonus objectives during your first play through, or power through if you just want a fast time for a speed run. Nice balancing by the developers. To all the reviewers giving this game a zero, go outside and do something with your life.

    The best remake of Resident Evil game to date. I played original RE4 on Nintendo Wii and it was an awesome experience back then and the remake is just as good if not better than the original game. Modern graphics, better combat, more side missions, many useful tweaks. Capcom outdone itself with this game. I read that RE4 sold 4,000,000 copies. Well done Capcom. Can't wait for next RE remake.

    One of the best games in recent years, can't even call it a remake. The title takes the base of RE4 and expands on in immensely. It cured my gaming impotency for crying out loud.
    Most of the 0's here are for Lili Gao (Ada's VA) and butthurt re4 original fanboys who are upset they didn't get a 1:1 copypaste for a remake. I agree Gao was bad but not nearly as bad as to give the whole title

I don't understand the amount of hate on the game, because it's a masterpiece, RE4 Remake did the impossible, surpassing the masterpiece that was the Original RE4. I know that many will not agree with this statement, mainly due to the nostalgia factor that prevents them from removing the blindfold of subjectivity, but RE4 Remake is superior in all sections without a doubt, graphically, in sound, in gameplay, in development of characters etc...

    There are some rat kids that are upset because they didn't include the additional content of the original RE4 like Separate Ways or because they included the microtransactions... Dude, those microtransactions are not mandatory, you buy them if you want, if not, you don't need to buy them, no I understand why so much whining on this subject. On the other hand, the DLCs will be available soon as well.

    In conclusion, my advice is not to be influenced by the bad Metacritic reviews, surely many of those people did not play the game, RE4 Remake will not disappoint you, he did a masterful job, if anything the only thing I did not like was that Leon It moves a little slow, but that adds an extra tension factor that comes in handy for gameplay. 10/10 Capcom broke it again.

    Just beaten the game and as much as it deserves a 9/10 I don't understand why you'd review bomb and dismiss this game again just because it's less of a survival horror than RE2. Grow up. The game is absolutely fantastic, just a 9/10 because it came out without Separate Ways and lacking some content.

    Excellent reinterpretation, I was strugling to leave the controller even when I already knew what would happen...ish. They improved most of the flaws of original RE4. Better voice acting, backstories, they removed a lot of the goofy / annoying parts, graphics are outstanding. If you liked the first one you'll like this one even better, if you haven't played it...you are missing out.

    The soundtrack is brilliant, combining classic elements from the original game with new tracks that add more depth and emotion to the overall experience. The game even brings new areas, characters and plot elements that keep fans of the franchise on the edge of their seats.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake is a triumph, a worthy tribute to the original game that managed to surpass it in many ways. Capcom has delivered an incredible experience that is worth playing for both longtime fans of the series and those discovering it now. Highly recommended.

    This 2023 is becoming the year of the perfect remakes, first we had Dead Space, and now Capcom shows us how it’s done too, with RE 4 here.

    I can firmly say that this is an absolutely incredible game, there’s so much love and care poured into this remake that it makes it quite possibly one of the best Resident Evil games out there, it is…it’s just that good.

    Let’s talk Performance first, on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, the game runs quite decently at 1620p DLDSR with Interlaced rendering, easily above 60 FPS most of the time, no problem.
    The thing with RE Engine games that’s still not there yet is TAA and Temporal Upscalers, we got FSR 2 for this game, for the first time ever on a RE Engine game, but its visual quality and temporal stabilization is not great at all with its current implementation, so I had to settle for Interlaced to get some performance back.
    Hopefully Capcom improves this, whether by updating FSR 2 to a newer version, or also adding DLSS, I think they should do both, honestly.

    The main issue with the Graphics Settings though is Ray Tracing, as it can make certain setups crash if they’re lacking enough VRAM, instead of just slowing down. That is something they should try improving, and also the overall quality of this Ray Tracing implementation, which kind of leaves a bit to be desired, honestly.

    Moving on to Sound Design, well this game really sounds amazing, most of the tracks are quite epic and very cleverly selected for each moment, we have some of the OG ones coming back but re-arranged and changed a bit, the Shooting Gallery has not right having such a cool song haha, and so on…they did good here.
    Environmental sounds are also pretty good and on point, everything on the Sound department I think it’s great here.

    Character Models are some of the best I’ve seen in any RE Engine game, they have leveled up once again the quality. The new technology looks insanely good, especially in cutscenes, where some of the characters look straight up as if they were CGI.

    Graphics, overall in this game, are incredible, some of the set pieces are astounding, and I could not stop taking my time and take so many screenshots with the included Photo Mode.

    Controls are pretty good on PC, with Mouse and Keyboard, just like the previous games, this one plays exceptionally well, with no major issues.
    It’s a shame that the Gyro Aiming controls are so poorly implemented natively, with barely any control over things like sensitivity or the lack or options to make the right stick do quick flicks, which is the preferred way to use Gyro Aiming, among other things that simply are missing here.

    Story is very much a huge improvement over the original game’s, for sure, and the scripts for the characters are much better written overall.
    Leon and Ashley now have pretty good chemistry together, with a lot more idle chatter and very cool moments.

    Luis really shined in this game too, they gave him a lot more stuff to do and much better background story.

    Ada remains as mysterious, cold and distant as ever, because in this game she can actually be her true self instead of trying to fool Leon, like she did in RE 2 Remake. Both Leon and Ada have grown a lot since then, and this game clearly shows this in all of their interactions.

    Continuing to talk about characters would get quite spoiler’ish, so I’ll leave it at that: good job to all of the actors, I loved all of their performances.

    All in all, this game is a blast to play, another example of how to properly remake a classic video game, and it clearly shows how much Capcom have learnt about working with RE Engine, and I can’t wait to see what future games this engine brings us, even beyond Resident Evil games.

One of, if not the most visually impressive game I've ever played. The RE Engine continues to be one of the most impressive engines in the industry. Overall I think this is easily the best Resident Evil game out of any of the recent releases since RE7, and arguably the best in the franchise, contending with the original. It's full of content, with my first playthrough taking over 20 hours, in comparison to RE Village taking me 11 hours. I recommend this game to anybody that's a fan of the series, survival horror games, or just third person shooters in general. I promise you will get your money's worth.

I know that sounds like blasphemy, but as a huge fan of survival horror, iI didnt enjoy the move to more action oriented combat and spectacle. I understand why people like it, but for me, it missed the mark. Moving forward to this remake, I believe it found a way to take fans of survival horror, and fans of RE4 and bring them together. This game, for me, is RE perfection. The game maintains its action oriented focus while allowing the true survival horror aspect to shine through just enough. I believe that the enhanced graphics and pacing really allow the game to shine and bring fans of both camps together. I cant recommend this game more highly.

    Dont come into this expecting an exact 1:1 recreation of the original game. Its a modern take on a classic game. I think it vastly improves it and allows it to maintain its character while improving the horror mechanics.

    They did it! They made Resident Evil 4 even better than it was before! I don't see myself playing the OG anymore, as the new version don't just look better, but can be pleasantly more challenging and even enhances the plot. Capcom is flying high, and I'm loving it!

    На последок хотелось бы сказать, что ремейк превосходит оригинал практически во всём абсолютно. Теперь эту игру не стыдно назвать Resident Evil !

    They improved every aspect of it. They also balanced the over the top action of the original with several old school horror segments and a darker atmosphere.

    Graphics are excellent and the same goes for the game-play. They added a few things to extend the duration, such as side missions and mini games.

    I love the Resident Evil franchise and I pretty much liked every entry, except for Resident Evil 6. I am really eager to see how they will manage to make a decent remake out of that mess of a game.

It may not be a genre-defining hit as the one before but is still a fantastic experience that can be enjoyed by both die-hard fans of the original and newcomers to the series. With a score of 10/10, it stands as one of the finest remakes and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Resident Evil franchise.

    Now this is a real Resident Evil, they fixed everything that was frustrating and massive in the old one, modernized it, deepened the story, gave it a more survival horror atmosphere, and reduced the amount of ridiculous scenes from the old one (yes, I'm talking about you lasers). Definitely the best Remake, it not only modernizes but IMPROVES, I hope Outbreak gets a remake like this.

The action based survival horror genre was made because of the OG RE4 and it makes sense that this game would come back 20 times stronger. The action was just absolutely great. Non stop entertainment. Fighting a bunch of different enemies who have different ways of attacking you and bosses that were just fun as hell to fight against. The visuals and graphics are probably one of the best in the world right now, up there with Demon Souls and Red Dead 2, probably even better. My favorite part of the entire game was the sound design. Sound design in video games are so crucial and undervalued these days, it's great to see them accomplish what they did in this game. The sound of the footsteps walking in different terrains, the sounds of the guns shooting or reloading, the sound of the menu and navigating the UI, just an absolute ASMR fest with the sound.

    The same directors who directed RE2 remake also were the directors in this remake and it makes complete sense. The game gives you the ability to explore and figure things out at your own pace and gives you the ability to make your playthrough unique just like RE2 remake did. I loved every second of this game and after finishing it immediately jumped back in to a second playthrough for some more and it still feels fresh. Any game that can make me go back in and play a second time not too long after completion is a rare W.

    I see a ridiculous amount of 0s in ratings on this game from user reviews and it's actually embarrassing the amount of people who simply hate review just to be nuisance. Anyone giving this game a 0 is a joke. It's a survival horror - action game, anyone who complains about resource management in a video game shouldn't be playing RE games. Just saying.

    It runs incredibly well on PC and gives you a lot of options to tweak the graphics to your liking.

    Capcom delivers once again! The greatest video game dev in the business who actually give fans what they want and don't make you wait too long for it. They've been putting out new games that fans have been asking for every single year and they continue to outdo themselves. Thank you Capcom for yet another absolute masterpiece!

    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.
