    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 Overall very good remake, i tried to go back to original and it was just way too outdated, this remake is perfect way to play RE4 from now on.

    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!

    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? Perfection!

    Vc se familiariza com o game antigo mas vê que tá diferente certos cenários.
    Relação do Leon com tds os outros personagens são muito legais além de referências marcantes do jogo de 2005 destaque para a luta contra o krauser que senti arrepio de tão foda.

    Well done remake, just as good as Dead Space remake or even Final Fantasy 7 remake, same level of detail and dedication! I'm also glad that 90% of the fans seem to agree, that this remake is very good and in most aspects even better than the OG. Of course there's always this small minority that complains about everything, but nobody cares about these losers lol.

    This person even states that he never cared for OG RE4 or even played it and that this is not what he considers RE. Like what?? This is the most popular RE game of all time. And then to say that RE7 (game that feels more like Outlast, than Resident Evil) is more Resident Evil, is just next level ridiculous. This review honestly made me speechless, i had no idea that people like this even exist. I'm serious. RE7, while yes it brought back horror, it hardly ever felt like actual RE game. It was boring hide and seek Outlast clone. Most people like RE games where you actually fight back and fight epic bosses. RE7 bosses are objectively worst in entire series. It was never truly scary either, most of the time, it was just annoying. And RE2, while it was very solid remake, it doesn't hold a candle to both OG RE4 or RE4R. It was always inferior game and that's okay, not everything can be Final Fantasy 7 and RE4 was Resident Evil's FF7 and always will be.

    Both are great, but RE4 will be ALWAYS objectively more innovative and better RE game than RE2. End of story!    … Expand

    Gameplay. A fluidez das animações, comunicação entre os personagens, agrecividade dos inimigos, as batalhas dos bosses, animações de morte etc. Se encaixam muito bem ao game, e é notavel a melhoria em todos esses aspectos, pois existem detalhes que te fazem lembrar o original, dando uma sensação de nostalgia.
    De maneira geral eu amei as novas mecânicas e o estilo da gameplay. Eles deixam o jogo mais diversificado, te dá novas possibilidades e maneiras de enfreitar os inimigos, aqui o jogo nos permite usar a criatividade em diversos momento .

    Historia do jogo
    A história do jogo foi levemente alterada, digo que o termo "reformulada" se encaixa muito bem, pois ela mantém a essência do original, e acrescenta alguns pontos que não foram abordados ou mostrados no RE4 original. Isso é muito interessante, deixa o jogo mais imersivo, parece que aquilo era para acontecer ali e ser ali. Os documentos, alguns elementos, acontecimentos, inimigos que você enfrenta. Isso tudo faz mais sentido agora, pq aqui tudo foi mais bem pensado e organizado

    Inimigos e chefes
    A Capcom foi bem fiel ao jogo antigo em relação aos inimigos. Mudaram algumas mecânicas de boss fight, alteraram um ou dois chefes (alteração que n achei extremamente valida), adicionaram alguns modelos de inimigos e reformulam outros, adcionaram novos subchefe e manteram quase todos os antigos. Aqui só senti um pouco de criatividade para desenvolverem mais alguns subchefes, talvez um pouco menos de conservadorismo ajudasse nessa questão. Em compensação os infectados em geral estão bem mais agrecivos, bem polidos e inteligentes.

    Cenários e ambientação
    Meu, aqui entregou tudo. Alguns cenários são totalmente iguais ao jogo original, outro com algumas alterações e outros totalmente novos. O que interessa neste ponto, é que foram acrencentados, elementos que nos fazem lembrar que aquilo estava no RE4 original. Dando uma sensação de nostalgia, familiarização e fluidez de game. Alguns cenários foram realmente cortados, mas ao meu ver, são partes que n acrencentam nada a trama, ou que eram cenários tediosos de se jogar. Alguns acontecimentos e cenarios são trocados durante a trama, para se encaixar melhor com os acontecimentos.
    A ambientação está perfeita. O jogo está sombrio em partes que devem ser sombrias, o jogos tem elementos de ação em partes que devem ter ação. Equilibraram muito bem esses dois polos de Resident, pois sempre vimos partes mais sombrias e partes com mais ação e tiroteios na franquia.
    Mais um ponto super positivo, não senti falta dos cenários cortados, a maneira que trabalharam, para aquilo nos passar sentimentos, foi sensacional. Além de ter novos lugares pare explorar.

    Personagens, dialogos, e dublagem
    Pra começar, para mim a dublagem está muito boa. Existem muitas referências brasileiras e modernas, manteram a essência dos personagens com pequenas trocas de falas, e o jeito que os personagens se comunicam uns com os outros.
    Falando em comunicação de personagens, aqui vemos momentos, em que os personagens se comunicam mais uns com os outros, e interagem com o cenário, soltando algum comentário ou interagindo com o mesmo.
    Os personagens estão bem trabalhados, alguns mais desenvolvidos e com mais tempo de tela. E outros do mesmo jeito que sempre foi.
    De maneira geral, mais um ponto positivo aqui, só temos evolução e coisas que acrencentam a história do Remake.


    Qualidade gráfica e performnace
    Que jogo lindo. a riqueza dos detalhes, modelagem, animações, luz, sombra e outros detalhes. Estão todos muito bem trabalhados, tudo nesse jogo se encaixa perfeitamente, e aqui nos gráficos, vemos uma performance muito bem trabalhada, se levamos em conta a qualidade gráfica que jogo nos entrega. O único ponto negativo que senti, foi em relação a um atraso em carregamento de texturas, mas n fois algo que atrapalhou a minha gameplay.
    Os requisitos do meu PC estavam entre o mínimo e o recomendado, rodei tudo no alto e não tive problemas com travamentos.

    Observações finais
    Minha experiência jogando foi sensacional, perfeito, nostálgico e muito frenético.
    Eu amei o jogo em todos os aspectos, a maneira que trabalharam a evolução da história, personagens, cenários e ambientação. Deixaram o jogo perfeito e com desejo de quero mais, mesmo depois de 15h de gameplay. Minha experiência foi ótima.
    Vos deixo aqui minha humilde nota, 10!

    Obrigado a todos os envolvidos.    … Expand

    Makes me so happy that whenever new RE fans will play RE4, they will ALWAYS play the remake and not the original, simply because Remake is just better version of this game.

    PS: Everyone just ignore fake negative reviews on this and instead look for real reviews on steam. It's overwhelmingly positive on steam with over 50 000 reviews!

    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.
