    As someone who played the original RE4 at least 20 times this is definitely the way to remake a game. The only reason for the low rating is that Ashley is a huge downgrade. Her witty commentary and constant heavy breathing are annoying and I personally prefer her having a health bar as opposed to her getting hit and just sitting there asking to get hit again.

    One of the best Resident Evil games in the series, and I very much enjoyed playing it!

    Um jogo que dispensa comentário muito fiel ao original e com a mesma imersão com gráficos atualizado O jogo tem um gameplay fluido Fator repley muito bom ótimo para os caçadores de troféus eu recomendo e muito essa experiência imersiva e contagiante

    This is a good game, but waiting for a next remake is very long. I have always hated the plot of 4, and it's no different here. Lily Gao is literally THE WORST voice actor to ever voice a character. What the hell is wrong with you Capcom that you allowed her to even voice Ada!? The even WORST thing this costs 60$ dollars!

    This is a remastered game but sold as a remake
    No effort on the script, it couldn't be simpler, the characters we learn nothing new, the dialogues must have been written by a child, the sets are ugly nothing to do with Spain where the adventure takes place
    This game is a waste of time

The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback of the DualSense controller heighten immersion and realism. Controls have been updated to offer more freedom of movement, modernizing the gameplay. Visually, the remake surpasses expectations, with stunning 4K graphics and a haunting night-time atmosphere. Minor technical issues were addressed in the day one patch. The PS5 version offers more content, replayability, and incentives for multiple playthroughs, with side quests, hidden treasures, unlockable rewards, and a new game plus mode. Overall, the Resident Evil 4 PS5 remake faithfully expands upon the classic, delivering enhanced visuals, improved mechanics, and immersive audio.

    Probably fantastic experience for people who didn't play original game or RE2 remake.

    Overall pretty good, though second part of the game (since castle) is becoming quite repetitive with same arenas of same enemies all the time. Would prefer it to be at least 30-40% shorter. The most underwhelming is outdated moving control that didn't change since original RE4 game being released    Probably fantastic experience for people who didn't play original game or RE2 remake.

    The most underwhelming is outdated moving control that didn't change since original RE4 game being released and now feels extremely clumsy, especially comparing to TLOU.

    The rest is great, but you must know it anyway from other reviews.    … Expand

    it's what re4 was at the time but with more intense cutscenes and really good interactions. Beautiful graphics and really nice fights. The horror which is more present too and the gore is really there. All the characters are charismatic. Separate ways are indeed missing unfortunately, which I really expected with the game because Leon is great but Ada is too.

    Listen, I hate the woke crap as much as anyone, but I've played through this game 3 times and have yet to find a single woke element in it. What I did find, however, was - dare I say it - virtual perfection.

As a MASSIVE fan of the original RE4 (ever since its release, I've counted it as my #1 favorite video game of all time), I must say this remake surpasses it by a mile. The developers have accomplished what I'd previously believed to be impossible: to improve upon what was, until the moment of this game's release, the best of the best. I could not possibly be happier with this release. From the improved acting (yes, even Lily Gao, who brought a newly welcome depth and appropriate edge to Ada Wong), to the incredibly rich and detailed graphics, the smooth-as-glass movements and general game performance, and brilliant additions to the chapters, the reasons to rave about this game just go on and on and on... and on. Honestly, I've found only one, small flaw: it is SERIOUSLY ADDICTIVE. Truly, I might have developed a problem. I can't stop f'ing playing this thing.

    Cheers all around to everyone involved in making this masterpiece and perfect mesh of survival horror and action. I am absolutely beaming with the knowledge that I will be able to play this for years to come to my heart's ultimate content. To all of you, I give a gushing thank you, thank you, thank you.    … Expand

    If you're looking for a pure horror game, this isn't it.

    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

    Melhor Remake que eu já joguei, um exemplo de como manter a essência de um jogo e trazer seu combate para o cenário atual. A pesar de Resident Evil 4 ser um jogo que envelheceu muito bem pros padrões atuais

Ignore the haters, this is quite possibly the best remake of a title that I didn't think needed a remake after purchasing Resi 4 on the limited edition Gamecube back in 2005.… Expand

    Ultimately. The tight, reliable and predictable gameplay of the original RE4 has been replaced with sluggish movement, terrible aiming and randomness.

    It feels bad to move and shoot in this. Getting Leon from point A to point B results in endless stumble animations because you have to sprint everywhere because the default walk is inexcusably slow. Even his run is too slow to carry you    Ultimately. The tight, reliable and predictable gameplay of the original RE4 has been replaced with sluggish movement, terrible aiming and randomness.

    It feels bad to move and shoot in this. Getting Leon from point A to point B results in endless stumble animations because you have to sprint everywhere because the default walk is inexcusably slow. Even his run is too slow to carry you away from danger in reliable fashion.

    The red-dot of the original, where your shots go where you aim, has been replaced with a cursor and random bullet deviation - resulting in the frustrating experience of missing constantly where you feel you should have hit.

    At higher levels of play, the reliability of getting stagger animations and learning the game is gone - due to more randomness in the engine as relates to critical hits and whatnot. The tight "learnability" of the original is gone, where you could get good at the game through learning what reactions you'd get from hitting certain body parts and following up with melee attacks. This means that experience translated into performance in a satisfying way. Now, goodness is determines by player age, gaming hardware and a good mouse. It's just a poor, soulless follow up to a gaming great. The developers stood on the shoulders of giants and delivered a mediocre experience.    … 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.
