    Great game, I would love to rated as 10, but its truth that there is room for improvement in Graphics and Mechanics of the game, either way, its still one of the most enjoyable and iconic games that i have played in the last months,

Great game, I personally had a blast and I think it is the second best remake capcom has done, they did an outstanding job with captivating what made the original so special and added some twists to it overall it’s a 9/10 for me definitely worth the price tag.… Expand

    sinceramente amei o jogo ele melhorou quase tudo do antigo e ele esta bem otimizado para o pc consigo rodar muito bem em um pc com 8 de ram e um ryzen 3200g com o gráfico integrado consigo rodar o jogo a base de 60 a 45 fps obrigado capcom só não dou 10 por falta do U3 porque o resto esta bom

    Melhor remake da saga de todos. Simplismente a melhor adaptação feita, e quero agradecer a Capcom e outros envolvidos nesse projeto. Espero futuramente que outros remakes da obra sejam fiéis e que RE9 seja outro sucesso. ✨

    IMO one of the best remakes ever made, and it’s definitely the best Resident Evil remake. Gameplay feels very fresh and is extremely fun and rewarding once you master the parry system! I definitely recommend playing this game. The game is also very re playable and you’re rewarded for doing so, Mercenaries game mode also dropping next week so there will be a ton more stuff to do.

    I played the original, and compared to this...the original feels like it's how a group of grunts retell missions in a bar, this feels more like the actual debrief upon returning stateside. It's more plausible. And that's just story beats. Bit longer, not a problem, more puzzles, that's a staple to the original ip.

    My favourite resident evil game I've ever played it's like a non-stop cool set piece machine. the first 2/3 is better than the last third imo but once you complete it running through again on professional difficulty is cool too. Got mercenaries to look forward to as well.

Introducing the Perry system with a knife and modern day gameplay, this is one of the best remix available on the market today. With mercenary mode coming April 7 this game has even more potential than ever. Combining the elements of the resident evil 2 remake into the resident evil four remake was the perfect decision made by Capcom.

    Great game, I´m really glad that it is an experience that can stand side by side to the original without trying to supplant it. My one gripe was Ada´s voice acting was not very good but other than that, it was amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the original last year and even tho I really enjoyed it I felt like the castle and the island acts (especially the island) were a little boring. This remake changed that a bit. The castle section has a horror vibe to it that the original didn't and the island act is more enjoyable than the 2005 one with changes to pacing that helps the overall feeling. The gameplay feels almost perfect, I just think the enemies shouldn't be so spongie. If I had to rate the 3 acts (location, bosses, immersion) it would be:

    Village - 10/10 (Peak gaming, no other game gives you the vibe this act gives.)
    Castle - 9/10 (Sounds like a dumb location but it somehow works well in the remake)
    Island - 7.5/10 (When you think about an island in a horror game you think something like dead island or a desert island. This is a military based one that breaks the immersion the other 2 acts gave you and almost turns the game into call of duty.)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another fine remake (yes, i even like RE3) from Capcom. Not as needed as RE2 and RE3 was,but nevertheless a great job. RE engine visuals are top notch, music and sound effects add a lot to the atmosphere, gameplay is superior to the original by adding a few things (parry system/instant weapon swap/aim while moving) and voice acting is also better except Ada which seems a little out of place. Areas have been changed a bit, especially in the castle section,a few things added and some are missing, though not as much as RE3 and bosses are all more memorable and intense encounters compared to the original, especially Krauser. Ashley is still inept beyond words but her section is quite good. Anyone who hasn't played the original, the remake is a must buy. If you did play though it depends whether or not you hold this game in high regard, just like me. In that case go ahead and grab it. It was a masterpiece back in 2005 and it still is, even more now with this updated version. Finally a videogame of few words and much gameplay. Action packed - moody - bloody - intense.

    PS. People that review bomb it are halfwits, no matter if you think it was worth the remake or not ,or you don't like the new voice acting and some minor changes in dialogue, that doesn't make the game bad.    … Expand

    Graphics and optimization could be better, but keep in mind that the game comes out on the old generation of consoles too. However, the gameplay, redesigned locations and plot, character models, music, voice acting - a strong nine.

    Great game, just as fun as original back in early 2000's. Both new players and fans should be satisfied - there are couple of changes toward the initial release, but I think they are in favor of the new version.

    They change the merchant and add the trade section which made do the side quest more useless and they also change how the treasures work and add the mechanic which you have to combine the treasure to make it more valuable
    The only thing negative that I have to say is sometimes the 3rd person camera “shrink” when a enemy is near you and is difficult to shot the enemy
    I suggest you yo play this game on ps5 or Xbox Series X because on old gen the environment textures are bad and most of time they don’t load

    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.
