    Incredible game that got me into the series. I love how the remake added more exploration and puzzle elements than the original and it’s just an all around fantastically entertaining game.

    I love it, it's a good remake, I think the textures in PS4 are very bad but the game still very enjoyable

    This is the greatest timeline! Feels so good to be horror fan in a time where best horror games are making full comeback! Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space Remake in same year? Hell yeah! Both were amazing as well and possibly Silent Hill 2 remake at the end of 2023 or beginning of 2024?

    It's the best Remake I've ever Played.This game and the 2005 Original are both insanly great for their Time. Not just the Story even the Gameplay is Amazing (A few issues with texture plop ins). But Overalls the performance is INSANE ! Ps4 30FPS 1080p ,Ps4 Pro (internal SSD) 2k 30FPS or 60 FPS by 1080p. Ps5 is even better ! I had no Bugs over all and not a Single Game Crash :) !

    very good remake. Original used to be one of my favorite games of all time for years, but i recently went back to see how it compares to remake and i have to honest, it really is outdated in many, many aspects.

    Hello Metacritic Moderators! I'm genuinely asking, could you please delete some of the fake negative reviews? That would be amazing, if you can, because this review bombing is getting ridiculous.

    One of the best games of 2023. Overall very good remake, i tried to go back to original and it was just way too outdated, this remake is perfect way to play RE4 from now on. Sad to see those worthless losers, who are trying to review bomb this great game, but ultimately it doesn't even matter, game is great!

    Finally finished this game and it is massive improvement over original! It's surprisingly faithful to the original, while modernizing certain areas of the map, massive improvement in graphics and dialogue / voice acting. It's also scarier than original (as expected). Ashley is actually amazing this time, feels like different character.

    Highly recommended!

    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.
