    The best remake of Resident Evil. Brutal. Capcom has polished a jewel and takes off its ReEngine graphics engine. It elevates everything great about the original. A renewed experience to have a great time.

    Capcom have managed to create one of the greatest games of all time yet again. Captures everything I loved about the original, which is/was my favorite game. Leon is as cool as ever, arguably his best appearance in the series. He manages to show much more emotion in this one, while still keeping his badass attitude.

He manages to show much more emotion in this one, while still keeping his badass attitude. He has more melee moves now and the parry system is a welcome addition to the gameplay formula. 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. Don't listen to the review bombers.… Expand

    One of the Best Games i have played.
    There are some technical problems in the PS4 version that can be solved.
    I just got interested in the Resident Evil franchise and it's a great game.
    Very good game.

    As someone who didn't play the original Resident Evil 4 when it came out, I was still very excited to play the remake because I've been a big fan of Capcom's Resident Evil remakes so far and I had high expectations for it, and hoo boy...

    Just like in every other Resident Evil game I've played, the story is not good at all. However, I'm impressed by how perfectly well-paced the plot and the gameplay is in this game; it's constantly exciting and enjoyable from the beginning till the end.
    Talking about the gameplay, it's absolutely excellent! The shooting, the survival horror elements, the action and set-pieces, the mechanics, the weapon and item variety, the quality of life improvements over the previous Resident Evil games; everything is wonderful! Even the puzzles are very decent.
    Although, I got to say, I found the game to be unexpectedly difficult at times, but it's not a big deal because the game is so enjoyable to play, it's honestly hard to put the controller down.
    And even though the story is not good, the characters are surprisingly likable and interesting.
    Also, unlike in the other Resident Evil games I've played, the bosses in Resident Evil 4 are really fun and cool for the most part, especially towards the end.
    Last but not least, the audio and the graphics are breathtaking! Unfortunately the PS4 version of the game has few texture issues here and there, but the game looks awesome overall.

    Pros:
    + Perfect pacing
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Great QoL improvements
    + Good characters
    + Very cool bosses
    + Gorgeous visuals

    Cons:
    - None

    Final Rating: 9.5/10
    - Outstanding -
    Resident Evil 4 is an incredible videogame and an even more incredible Remake; it's Action-Survival Horror perfection and my favorite game in the Resident Evil series so far.
    Mission Accomplished, Capcom.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Yes, I highly recommend it even to those who haven't played a Resident Evil game before.    … Expand

    I've seen other "people" write about how bad Ada Wong's voice acting is, while giving the game zero ratings, but don't listen to all that crap.

    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.

    This is most obvious GOTY of all time! As a Remake, it's amazing. As a standalone modern video game, it's amazing. It's fun, it's scary, it has action, it has horror. It's not just copy+paste "new graphics on old game", nope. This is, in many ways, expanded and updated version of RE4. I would say, 99% of the new addions and changes are absolutely welcomed and well done. Graphically itThis is most obvious GOTY of all time! As a Remake, it's amazing.

This is, in many ways, expanded and updated version of RE4. I would say, 99% of the new addions and changes are absolutely welcomed and well done. Graphically it literally looks like "next-gen". Rain/storm looks great and makes it obvious that pre-release footage was just some "beta" stages.

    Obviously no game is perfect, i could always complain about something, anything (that goes for any game btw). But i almost don't want to, it's just as close to perfection as modern remake could be. Dead Space Remake was solid, very good. But this one is next level compared to that one.

    To bring out some negatives, as a die hard RE4 fan, i was obviously disappointed that U-3 was cut. U-3 had very interesting design and fight was fun and scary and would have worked perfectly in this new remake. I'm not really sure why the cut it, but i'm hopeful that maybe they are holding it for dlc.

    BUT that didn't break the game for me at all, everything else was great, most boss fights were amazing and expanded content helped as well. Atmosphere was absolutely flawless on all three locations (village,castle,island). Voice acting (for the most part) was great. My biggest surprise was Ashley, she was perfect! I was never huge Ashley fan, in the original she was extremely annoying, but in the remake she almost felt like new character (in a good way). Leon's voice acting was solid, as expected. Overall script/dialogue was also nice, i especially liked moments between Leon and Ashley.

    At the end of the day, i don't even care if it wins any awards, all i can say is, that it's very good game and that's the most important thing. But when development team puts so much passion into a project like this, i think it should be rewarded.    … Expand

    Following in the footsteps of its other remakes, Capcom smashes Resident Evil 4 out of the park. The gameplay, controls, and story are all wonderfully familiar yet still feel updated and fresh. The remake cranks the ambiance up to a 12, and tension serves as a constant companion while you make your way through the game's gorgeously rejuvenated world.
