    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

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 RE engine getting too slow with boring outdated gameplay and ancient graphics.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

    Sadly this does not have the same quality as RE1 and RE2 and RE3 Remake. Very poor effort.

    A lazy remake, some texture look better. But content was removed, micro transactions were added and they censored stuff.

I love the original RE4 and it’s fair to say that most people will still feel that this remake doesn’t replace the og no matter how shiny it looks. The issue is that capcom made so many mistakes with this game instead of learning from what the original did so well.
    Leon controls horrible in this. Just the movement and especially the gun aiming is awful. Purposely unstable to “enhance the horror” of not being able to properly aim. Leon is supposed to be a professional so why is he a wobbly mess? The game even goes further to make this a bigger point in this one compared to the og that Leon went thru a ton of training since RE2 but nope, he can’t aim now. The original felt like the movement and aiming was built around the player so you’d always be in control of the situation, now it’s built around the world and there is no controlling the situation. The knife is a lazy crutch for the devs to claim they added something new and interesting in the game. It works well when it does but it felt like that rarely ever happens. The pacing is awful. The original had so much great dialogue and fun cutscenes that practically got chopped to bits or changed for the worst. Example, isn’t it great how you don’t even get to kill the first villager in the first house at the beginning of the game? Now a cutscene kills him for you. Go down to the basement and kill another and they spoil the later reveal that the las plagas are in their heads. Why? It was such a cool moment in the original when they first started having their heads burst open and the remake devs couldn’t contain themselves. The third act of the remake is worse than the original and longer, while also removing a ton of enemies from the original. Shooting the lake is worse because they don’t know how to blend real time events and instead awkwardly cut to a cutscene. Cutting the fight with U3, the laser rooms, making annoying sidequests. It’s a much bumpier road than the smooth pace of the original.
    The characters are pretty much all worse except Ashley but there wasn’t too much they could change with her except making her bust small and no upskirt to fit with the sensitive times of today especially in an M rated game. Leon is a nervous wreck and talks too much now. Constant Marvel quips during fights are not funny or cool. For as much as people love meme-ing Leon of the original, he only made jokes a couple times throughout the game. The rest of the time he was pretty cool headed about everything. Saddler has a much smaller presence in the game which is a loss and they changed his voice for the worse. He’s not a fun villain anymore, now he’s Bowser from the 90’s Mario Bros movie with Voldemorts voice. Ada is a complete trainwreck, that’s all I need to say. Look up a youtube video of any of her cutscenes and you’ll understand. Luis is uglier and they really ruined his ending. Salazar’s new design is awful. On top of all this they gutted all the conversations on Leon’s radio. But isn’t it cool you get trophies dropping memberberries on some of those radio conversations? No, it’s not.
    The big cheese has a stupid hat, and looks genuinely less scary than the original and more like a big idiot so I don’t understand what happened there. The merchant talks way too much and he doesn’t sound nearly as good as the original guy. Do I even mention how they put in new costumes that all look awful with only a select few being carried over from the original? Of course no white shirt Ashley because that would be offensive and would upset game journalists.
    I’m not happy at all with this game but I’m also glad the original still isn’t replaceable. I don’t like where capcom is going with the Resident Evil franchise since 7 even though I liked it for what it was. It seems like they’re taking it in a very bland and modern day hollywood direction instead of trying to be innovative or creative. If they had put this energy into making a new RE instead of remaking 4, I think I would have liked it more. Now it just seems like an easy cashgrab. Especially true since based of how they end RE4 remake we may not even get a remake of the game that deserves it, Code Veronica, or even RE5 but that game also doesn't need a remake. Just not happy with where things look like they’re going for a series I once loved.    … Expand

    Ah. The hyperbolic sophomore virgins of the internet anonymously clash. How boresome. Like this game. Is it a triumph over its predecessor? Yes. No question. Is it any fun? No. It isn't. Go play amongst yourselves.

    Contains pay to win rubbish. Clearly the company no longer cares about Resident Evil if they are willing to do this. It's disrespectful to your consumers. No single player game should have this. No even multiplayer but definitely not single player. Thanks for ruining the game. If your gonna do this then pass the game onto someone who won't do this. Never do this again!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just garbage. They made the first chapter impossible on purpose. As soon as you're on the main square in the village there will be hordes of enemies and you won't have enough bullets to kill them. This crap is just unplayable. **** this remake. The original is great. This is unplayable garbage.… Expand

    The VA for Ada sounded like she was not interested in the game at all, i do not agree with people going into her social media accounts and insulting her, she was pretty bad at voice acting.
    They changed much of the dialogue and some of the outfits with some of the bonus outfits looking like trash and the censorship was bad. Please play the original if you want to experience the game.

    this game is good, but I don't like it when they censor the characters, village the tall vampire lady looks good, but Ashly and Ada has a lot of clothes or wearing a sweater because stupid Americans would get easily offended, please release a patch to fix this stupid censorship, just mod the pc version of the original

    First of all, I would like to thank Capcom for the remake of this interesting game. And please, if you are going to lower the difficulty level of the game because of the presence of new gamers, this will harm the final quality of the game. Please don't reduce the difficulty of the game, thank you.

    Decent graphics on top of almost 20y old game. Theres so much shooting that you got tired of it in the last stages of the game. But if you just run through zombies, the game is just short corridor shooter.

    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.

    Overall it holds together very well, and even though I played the whole game in two days with minimal sleep, I didn't even think about taking a break for a while. [Issue#327]

    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.
