    Bought this game on sale and still not worth it for the discounted price! Totally rip-off because of the removed contents and horrible Ada's voice acting

    Encore et toujours le même plat réchauffé, mais comment voulez-vous qu'on continue à y jouer ? Raté et largué techniquement, graphismes totalement bloqués dans le passé !

    I'm glad that there are people liking this game, but I don't really like zombie shooting stuff at me lol.

    My score is more about how much I like this game, hope this is okay.

    If you want to rescue a nobody all the time then play RE4. No true fan wants that and that's why we don't do that anymore in other RE games.

    For real RE gameplay you have a bunch of other games to choose from...........

    Huge disappointment! RE engine getting too slow with boring outdated gameplay and ancient graphics.

    Just started this game! The story so far is really dumb, Leon came in uninvited with a weapon and superkick the self-defending house owner, then proceed to destroy the farming village afterwards. Is he actually a villain here?

    Hopefully later on it gets better but RE2 was much better!!

    Finally finished this game and is massively disappointed! Many content was missing, not being faithful to the original, even less scary than before, and Ashley still is a pointless addition to the game.

    Not recommended.

    REM4KE is terrible.

    I was too young to play the original RE4 when it came out, so my experience with the game is limited to a few scattered sections here and there across my later teenage years. I was nonplussed then, and I am certainly nonplussed now.

    This remake certainly captures the 'seriously? there's more?' feeling from the original, which is one of the pieces I wish they'd left behind. RE4 is always wanting to go bigger, go more outlandish, and get more ridiculous, almost to the detriment of the experience. RE4 is not scary, but, more offensively, it's not even fun.

    Leon turns like a bus and feels like he's on ice skates. Sprinting is infinitesimally faster than just walking. Ashley's pathing was coded in DOS in 1988. The setting sucks and the levels are usually a straight shot from entrance to exit. The battle arenas are obvious when you walk into them and are usually built around you training the enemies so you can eventually run right past them to the exit. There are bizarre vehicle sections that offer the player almost nothing aside from the headache of having to use the least navigable map of all time.

    Many people will like the illusion of open linearity and the opportunity to really fight instead of scavenge and survive, but I'm not many people. I don't go to RE for the action set pieces or the third person shooting galleries (which you can find in every other game now), I go to RE for the horror. The dark, cramped hallways with fakeout enemies. Crawling under floorboards while your captor walks above. Scavenging every last bit of ammo just to try to clear the next enemy and survive another few minutes.

    I don't come here for the backflips, the quips, the military arsenal, the bad lighting, the dull atmosphere, the nameless, faceless enemies, the stupid "plaga" that is somehow less interesting than the dumb fungus from the new trilogy, escort missions, catapults that make an entire section of the game unplayable, CoD zombies simulations, idle weapon sway (speaking of CoD), weapon bloom, low-res textures in/on the castle, and Leon's **** side part.

    Resident Evil 4, then and now, is not a good Resident Evil game. Its success seems more a remnant of the 2000s video game zeitgeist when it was cool to pack as much schlock into your games as possible. It was the game that ushered many of us from gaming nascency to adolescence so the nostalgia is fair...

    ...but that doesn't excuse the game for still being a boring, bloated, middling third-person shooter that wants to be Gears of War more than it wants to be a RE game.

    If there was one thing I liked, it was that Leon's hands shook in the early chapters of the game. That's it.

    Many see RE4 as the apex of the series, as a rebound from 3, and as a peak that was never reached until 7. For me, RE4 is the disappointment that proves that RE2 and RE7 are lightning in a bottle. It's the continuation of the downslide started by RE3.

    It's one of the worst games I've ever played.    … Expand

    Unlike TLOU Part 1, a true remake of an amazing game.

    Do NOT buy this remake. When you hit Chapter 9, boneheaded developers completely maul the game so badly that you are going to hate Resident Evil 4 forever because of it. They have over a dozen puzzles in this chapter, have you shift to playing as Ashley in stealth for God sakes, and then when you get past all that, they throw MORE PUZZLES AT YOU. It's the single worst level of game designDo NOT buy this remake.

They have over a dozen puzzles in this chapter, have you shift to playing as Ashley in stealth for God sakes, and then when you get past all that, they throw MORE PUZZLES AT YOU. It's the single worst level of game design I've ever seen and completely destroys this game.

    Chapter 9,destroyed the mystique and intelligent design of the first game, and the game just gets more awful from there. If you want to play the best Resident Evil 4 game ever, play the original Resident Evil 4. These new developers don't understand storytelling, pacing, action, excitement, or the joy of mastering anything.

    PLAY THE ORIGINAL. Graphics don't help mechanics and game design as bad as Chapter 9 and 14. There is a crystal clear, pure, perfect version of this game, and you can buy it remastered for your PS5. Don't bother with this horrific remake. They also don't understand the ammo scarcity of the first game and simply thought "don't put much ammo" was the mechanic. It wasn't. The original Resident Evil 4 game knew how to pace that so that it didn't become so frustrating you turned the game off.

    If this had been the original Resident Evil 4, no one would have heard of it. I'm starting to think modern game designers got their degrees from an unaccredited internet university. You can see the scam this game is by the "critical reviews" and user reviews. When you're starting with a pure 9.3 ranked game, you'd think there's no way to mess that up. But yeah, they did. They took one of the closest-to-perfect games in history and turned it into a mindless 7.8 slog. I hated every minute from chapter 9 on. To the people ranking this slog-fest a "10." Even the original isn't a 10. It's close but not there, so barf and laugh to your reviews. How much did PS pay you?

    Sincerely,
    Someone who beat the original and knows this was a disgusting cash grab    … Expand

    The story of the game is a mediocre story, the gameplay is very enjoyable and attractive, in terms of visuals, it is equal to Cross Gen 2023 games and has a stunning visual, the main boss fights are very similar to each other. The sound design of the game is wonderful, the enemies have a good variety and only one new type of enemy has been added to the remake compared to the original version.

    Resident Evil 4 Remake not only does right by its original source of inspiration, but it also sets a high bar for what modern day remakes can be. All components of the story have been finetuned into a more well-thought out package, and that’s before mentioning the game’s full use of today’s graphical prowess to deliver a more terrifying interpretation of rural Spain. The core gameplay also retains what made it so great back in the day, but with modern amenities such as a parrying system, quick-select for weapons and the ability to run. And despite the new improvements, the increased aggressiveness of the enemies ensures that the game never feels like a cakewalk. I don’t know who still needs to be convinced at this point, but Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece that I cannot recommend enough.
