    Only played the demo when it came out and it made me even more excited for the remake. Will definitely play the full game soon and hopefully play the original Resident Evil 4 in the process!

    As everyone already knows, over 90% of actual real gamers love this remake and most people agree, that it's big improvement over already great original. Also everyone is laughing at these losers who are trying to review bomb this game, with their fake accounts lmao. RE4R won and you losers lost, it's over :)

    Resident evil 4 (2005) ya era considerado por muchos un juego perfecto, el mejor de la saga y uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, solo diré q este remake lo mejor en todo aspecto, este es oficialmente mi juego favorito.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pluses:
    -The gameplay is just spectacular. I literally have nothing more to say about it. It's the best gameplay I have ever seen.
    -Most of locations are putted in different spots which makes the game more exciting since you never know where you'll end up next yet you still have this feeling that you're playing a remake and it's just amazing.
    -The puzzles are actually harder and there's more of them than in the original compare to re2 and re3 remakes.
    -Side quests, optional unlockables and overall backtracking which I'm a fan of
    -The shooting range is 300 times more fun than the original. The score challenge, Ashley commenting, the music, the charms with models from the original game. God. It's just fantastic.
    -The merchant's voice may not be as satisfying to listen as in the original yet he has all of the original's lines and lots of new ones and the voice actor still does an amazing job non the less.
    -the gun physics are extremely good. And the boat's physics are amazing compare to that shame we got in re8.
    -the game is extremely realistic. The last time I saw so much detail in a videogame was The Last of Us Part 2. May be this game still lacks in some situations(window's glass breaking into hundred dufferent particles you all can touch individualy) yet it still does better than 95% of AAA games of current gaming industry which is astounding.
    -Ashley feels more realistic with all her comments. Her screaming is less annoying and the voice actor just does a great job overally.
    Minuses:(don't get me wrong. This is now my second favorite game of all time because how amazing it is and I'll definitely play it million times in the future yet still nothing is perfect)
    -the soundtrack is kinda meh. There are few amazing tracks I definitely liked( Del Lago's theme for example or shooting range theme(frickin amazing one)) but overally it loses to the original's soundtrack. The original's soundtrack was both creepy, ambient and orchesteical which made you want to listen to it over and over again. It just never felt scary because the enemies and the enviourments weren't trying that hard to be scary unlike the remake.
    -the second El Gigante encounter is kinda unfair and made me mad because sometimes after jumping off the bridge you're out in the open and can't hide behind a cover before you get hit by a rock or struck by a zealot. It was kind of unfair
    -the game tries really hard to bring back Leon's some cheasy one-liners yet most of the times they are said by him at a wrong situation or in a wrong way which kind of makes it sound a bit cringe to me. Idk. May be this is just a me only thing.
    Still 10 out 10 for everything else this game has to offer. I would gave more if I could.    … Expand

    With this game, Capcom proves that as of 2023, they are one of the best, most professional and talented developers of all time.

    This Remake is everything i wanted and then more. I'm fairly certain, that this will be very successful. Maybe i'm wrong, but i have a feeling that this game is something, that even people who usually don't play horror games, would buy. It's just so well done.

It's basically same logic that goes for quality games like Red Dead Redemption, that even people who usually don't play open-world, would still try it.

    World design was perfection, music/atmosphere/rain were all great, most new boss designs were phenomenal and voice acting for both Leon and Ashley was solid. And yeah, new Ashley is amazing, i had no idea, that it's even possible. I never liked Ashley, but in this game, she is great.

    As much as this site is full of trolls and bots giving low ratings, this game remains a masterpiece and a great homage to the original. Improved art direction, graphics and mainly the characters of the story, which became more consistent and well-executed, in addition to bringing a more challenging gameplay. One of the best in the franchise.

    Capcom has done it, a perfect remake. Resident evil 4 remake is just as good as the original but with everything modernised. People who never played the original back in the day are in for a real treat. It's got the potential to be GOTY. The people who gave it negative ratings must not be Resident Evil fans.

    Tremendo remake este de RE4 , respeta muchísimo al original y además le agrega cosas que le sientan muy bien y alargan la vida útil del juego al darte ganas de volver a jugarlo una vez terminado. La verdad es de lo mejor que se ha visto en remakes, cuando le agreguen el modo mercenarios quizás complete el 10 perfecto.

    there is counterpoints in the technical aspects, like the laser sight no longer being a genuine 3D model but just another element of the UI or the effect of bullets on enemies being much more focused towards the survival horror of Resident Evil 2 while this is an action game with a very unsettling tonality, but an action game in the end.

    overall it's an excelent game with brilliant organic moments, its engine constantly makes out of every battle an ultra violent frenetic scenario and the soundtrack brings nothing but even more atmosphere and tension into it. i won't give it a 10 because i think no work will ever deserve a perfect note.    … 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.
