    Don't be fooled by the bad reviews, it's a very good remake. The gameplay, mechanics and graphics were very good. I also played the original game, there were very appropriate adjustments and unnecessary scenes were removed✨

    A remake to one of the greatest games of all time, somehow made even better.

    I couldn't care for the microtransactions debate as it doesn't affect the actual game and who's really playing RE4 for Mercenaries longer than a week

    It is a game that although it largely follows the original script, it is a totally different game, the new Gameplay, the improved artificial intelligence, a reasonable challenge, and with extra modes that will invite you to replay it.

    "Resident Evil 4 Remake" is a great updated remake of the classic game that gives us the chance to relive the horrors of the Spanish village with incredible graphics and improved game mechanics. The gameplay remains true to the original, but now with more modern controls and visuals. The developers have paid careful attention to detail, creating an exciting world and terrifying enemies.

    What an amazing game, I do not know which is better the remake or the original, or are both just on par.
    I give this a solid 10/10

    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

    Ótimo game, mas bem distante da experiência survival horror gerada no RE7 e no RE2. O jogo como um todo está maior e consequentemente sua ambientação e experiência geral sofre pela perda de cenários medonhos/amedontradores, o que não me agrada muito, mas não afeta a qualidade geral do jogo.

    Starts off as a 9/10 (first half) and ends up as a 8/10. It feels pretty faithful to the original. The voice actress who played you know who kinda sucked. At the end, what I enjoyed most about this game was the graphics and atmosphere. The game also reminds me why Survival Horror took a massive downturn. The new direction is just not horror. This is survival action game. I think RE gamesStarts off as a 9/10 (first half) and ends up as a 8/10. It feels pretty faithful to the original.

The game also reminds me why Survival Horror took a massive downturn. The new direction is just not horror. This is survival action game. I think RE games should go back to pure horror of RE1,2,3 with fixed camera angles. There are already new indie games which prove this could work. They are way more scary and ''resident evil'' than this game.
    Don't get me wrong, it's definitely among the best games we had in 2023 but that's also because of the state of gaming. Sorry to say but these kids born in 2001 are the only ''market'' they're trying to please. No wonder they got ADHD, they need to be entertained every 3 seconds like on tiktok. These are the same ones who can't accept that older people have wisdom. Certain things only come through experience and age. All the best franchises were created before they were born and that's why we're having these remakes. I wish these game devs would listen to their core audience. Re1 remake will always be the gold standard.    … Expand

    Developers,
    1. Force you to collect resources and ammo and need to sell some nonsense to a merchant, is that a RPG?! The definition of difficulty is as follows: A. Collect ammo throughout the area. B. No need to collect ammo. But here, even on any difficulty, it is necessary to clear the locations. The special agent came to such a mission without ammo, he didn’t even take a sandwich, the    Developers,

No need to collect ammo. But here, even on any difficulty, it is necessary to clear the locations. The special agent came to such a mission without ammo, he didn’t even take a sandwich, the game is 2023, are you joking ?!
    2. You are stressing the player too much. Always Fear that you will not pass the game, because they are closed in a barn, for example, with a bunch of enemies and no ammo. For what that pressure?!
    3. Damage is often received by the player not honestly and he can't dodge to protect himself. Automatic weapons are very weak and there are no ammo. Some important features you notice towards the end of the game. Ashley doesn't run after Leon. They often caught her and I lost through no fault of my own. Is it hard to run after Leon? He runs so slowly like an old man.

    The first arrival in the village where the policeman is being burned, the game writes Fight off the enemies, that is, it lies to the player. It is impossible to fight them off, only to play for time until the bell rings. How many times do you have to try and replay through no fault of your own, just like that, because it is written fight back. Developers, do you hate players?

    Also study the term - meticulousness. This is different from the challenge.

    4. The 7th and 8th parts are almost copies of this game.
    5. There is one recurring trait in Resident Evil games that turns me off - constantly looking for clues, keys and puzzles, especially the second part. Even Shadows of Rose has this problem.
    6. And it is not necessary to make games gloomy, because it's nice when the sun shines. Shadows of Rose has 80% DLC in the dark, castle, etc.

    *It has to be Action first and foremost, cinematic action. Not an RPG, not in the dark and not revolving around puzzles and running back and forth.

    For the quality - good optimization, physics that are not in other remakes for what you want to play it again and again and for the plot - fairy tale and for the good human qualities of the main characters which left pleasant emotions, interesting many locations and gameplay I put 9 points out of 10. And for the action, where it was playful, and not annoying (meticulous).

    People, be honest. You complain about many mistakes during the game, and when you finish the game you forget everything and bet 10 And the problems remain.    … Expand

    Pleasantly surprised with this game. Haven't played the original so my opinion is definitely not influenced by nostalgia. I played most of the RE games in the series (RE2R, RE3R, RE5, RE7, RE8) and this is I think my favorite out of all of them. What I like:
    The level design - every combat opportunity is unique, and you can also use the environment to deal with the enemies,

    Overall, the remake is a commendable effort, but the persistent crashing associated with high VRAM usage is a notable concern that I hope receives prompt attention. While some PC adaptations disappoint, Resident Evil 4's PC launch is relatively commendable.

    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.
