This people are sick and aways treated some carachters as a Jerk off material. I liked the new approach of caracters are good to Ok, nothing fantastic but fits in the story. Have nothing to complain, besides separate ways that should be FREE for the price that capcom is asking for, but still looks great.… Expand

    I wasn't a fan of the original Resident Evil 4, which game I really didn't like to play. But, in this remake (2023), I really enjoyed to play, and I'm also playing because it's so awesome. Especially the characters, 'cause they had an amazing evolution and personalities. This time, Resident Evil 4 is one of the best Resident Evil's games for me.

    Das Original fand ich nicht so gut. Das remake gefällt mir schon viel mehr. Das Spiel macht Spaß unterhält mich für mich eine acht von zehn klar, es hat Schwächen jedoch überwiegen die Stärken von daher absolute Kaufempfehlung

    Best RE remake ever. The game has successfully adopted classic survival horror to modern graphics and gameplay with drastically improved game mechanics while remaining faithful to the story and the ideas of the og.

    I think the water monster in Resident Evil 4 Remake is one thing they could’ve cut. Unlike the rest of the game, it feels like something from a bygone era. A random boss that has little impact and isn’t fun to fight.    … Expand

I, and many others, consider the original Resident Evil 4 to be one of the most revolutionary and ground breaking video games of all time, which is why it was such a risk for Capcom to remake it. However, this risk has--for the most part--payed off. The gameplay is a massive upgrade when compared to the originals somewhat dated combat. The introduction of knife parrying and modern third-person shooting mechanics makes the games updated combat feel fluent and extraordinarily fun. The game also looks great, is decently written, and has a lot more eerie 'survival horror' elements than the original, which is A OK with me. That being said, there are some sections of the game that are just flat out unfair and a grind to get through, with unending waves of enemies piling on to you, at times seemingly out of nowhere. Much like the original games, the last 1/3 of the game also feels like a bit of a grind, as well as a bit tonally off. Also, despite the game looking fantastic, the lighting/gamma seemed oversaturated when in the outside sections of Salazar Castle; this could be a problem on my end though, so think of this more as a nitpick. Generally though, I do recommend playing this game. Even with these flaws, Resident Evil 4 is still a fun and wild ride that celebrates the parts of the original 2004 game that made it such an awesome experience.… Expand

    This game is technically amazing in many ways. The game play, boss mechanics, map design, enemy variability and graphics are all excellent. The escort missions with Ashley make this game stand out from other Resident Evil games and give it a unique style of play. However, I did not find Resident Evil 4 scary and the storyline was forgetful.

    Thoughts-
    To see this new version of RE4 taking all of that in its stride with such confidence is, frankly, staggering. It never misses a beat, it perfectly captures the spirit of its source material, and all the while, it also makes meaningful, significant improvements and changes that elevate an already masterful experience to even greater heights. As I said at the beginning of this review, history has repeated itself, because once again, Resident Evil 4 is one of best survival horror games I’ve ever played, and one of the greatest games of all time.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 4 Remake is the best remake title available on the market currently (2023) in my opinion. Compared with the og RE4 released in 2005, this remake successfully achieved balance in remained faithful to the og while delivering fresh reimagine and enhanced RE4 story to the og fans.

    I always think that a remake title is meant to replace the og, because when a remake is released,    Resident Evil 4 Remake is the best remake title available on the market currently (2023) in my opinion. Compared with the og RE4 released in 2005, this remake successfully achieved balance in remained faithful to the og while delivering fresh reimagine and enhanced RE4 story to the og fans.

    I always think that a remake title is meant to replace the og, because when a remake is released, very little new players would want play the og since there is a modernized version of that game exist. Because of that, I always think the developers should stay 100% faithful in the og story and source materials, all they need to do is just modernize the og experience to modern video games standard in terms of graphic, gameplay mechanics, story enhancement and etc. But in the remake, even though some of the og experience was cut out, the developers put more efforts in enhancing the story, lore, character personalities and background story, making the remake a more well paced story with a more logic gameplay experience, since some of the exaggerated or unnecessary level design that is not impactful to the core story are removed and instead replaced by contents and narrative that significantly flesh out the world and the characters.

    The gameplay experience in the remake is also more fast-paced and intense, enemies are faster, stronger, smarter and harder to stagger, and actively intent to surround the player really pose a challenge to even those who played the og before and can easily being overwhelmed by the enemies.

    Another gameplay experience worth mentioning when compared to the og is resource management. Resources such as ammo, healing item has a lower drop rate and less often to be found in the remake. Even the basic knife that exist since the og now has a durability meter in the remake which will be broken when overused. Therefore, players must consider different approach to defeat enemies using limited resources as possible. This gameplay aspect also make the remake more towards the series's survival horror theme rather than the og.

    As a fan of the original RE4 and it is one of my earliest beloved game since childhood, the RE4 Remake has again delivered the same satisfying experience that the og once offered. With that being said, the og and the remake are different enough that the remake won't be able to replace the og because many of the classic and fun level design can only be experienced in the original. That doesn't mean the remake failed to recreate the same fun that Resident Evil 4 have offered since 2005 but rather it's just a different approach to tell a minor-tweaked if not completely same RE4 story. Even though Resident Evil 4 remake has cut content and minor changes, it has no less than the og have to offer and in some aspect, it even have surpassed the original Resident Evil 4.

    I want to say this out loud, the og RE4 and the remake are both masterpiece, both are one of the most important game in the series and in the gaming industry. Big salute to Capcom for letting me experience again the fun once brought by Resident Evil 4 decades ago during my childhood. I actually feel happy and sad when I finished the remake because I have been waiting a game that could bring me the same sense of satisfaction when completing the og RE4 since my childhood, and never have I thought that the game that bring me that same satisfaction is non other than Resident Evil 4 remake itself. The huge satisfactory after completing the remake is still the same to me back when I completed the og after so many years, this nostalgia is something that I'll never forget. A 10/10 experience indeed.    … 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.
