    Resident Evil 4 is an extremely attractive remake that provides a modern format to the avid gamers on the way to being faithful to the original version, which can easily be called one of the best titles of 2023 and the best remake in history.

    Capcom has released with the Resident Evil 4 Remake one of the most anticipated remakes of all time for a game which revolutionized the video game industry. I was too young to experience the original game when it released because I was born in 1999. The first time that I played the original Resident Evil 4 was in 2019 after Resident Evil 7 scared the living **** out of me in 2017 and gotCapcom has released with the Resident Evil 4 Remake one of the most anticipated remakes of all time for a game which revolutionized the video game industry. I was too young to experience the original game when it released because I was born in 1999. The first time that I played the original Resident Evil 4 was in 2019 after Resident Evil 7 scared the living **** out of me in 2017 and got me into this franchise, I decided to go back and play the other entry's after the Resident Evil 2 Remake pulled me even deeper into the franchise. Since then I've become a huge hardcore fan of the franchise but I'm also not the biggest fan of the original Resi 4 because it always felt like a "foreign body" in the franchise which was a result of the more action focus of the game. But I was still excited for the remake because Leon S. **** Kennedy ( "S" stands for sexy ) is one of my favorite characters of the Resident Evil Games and I wanted to know if Capcom could improve the original game so it has more of the Resi DNA to make it fit better into the franchise.
    And oh boy, did they succeed...hold on tight, rookie!
    Resident Evil 4 Remake is the highest rated game on Backloggd at the time of writing this review because Capcom has managed to remove almost 90% of the annoying segments and mechanics and they added new ones or improved old ones. The changes make the game feel finally more like a Resident Evil game but why just “almost” and not 100% you might think. This brings us to one of my two points of criticism which is the last big segment of the game, the island. I absolutely hated that segment when I played it in the original and sadly they didn't cut it out. But it was more fun in the remake simply because of the improved controls but it's still the worst part of this game. It's just way to much action and zero atmosphere, the island segment is really similar to Resi 5 and 6 and those are both pretty bad Resi games.
    For my first run I played on hardcore and it was really well balanced and felt more like normal difficulty. There are a few encounters which are more difficult like the cabin but it overall feels like the right way to play it. The intro works much better this time around because the whole Umbrella stock market crash was so rushed in the original. One of the most important improvements was that the remake has a more darker tone, lightning and atmosphere are really creepy. But it still manages to be campy and the characters still have their iconic lines. The sound design is phenomenal, I can't praise it enough. The manic chanting that gets louder the closer the farmers get, growls of wolves around you in the bushes, the sounds of a chainsaw motor in the distance all these sounds create a sense of dread. The most intense segment was the underground laboratory, hearing the Verdugo snarl in the vents around you gave me goosebumps. The gameplay loop is really additive and never gets boring because the gun play feels great. There are quite a few variations of weapons and the hit feedback well done. The remake has the right amount of madness that I expect from a Resi game like blocking an axe or pitchfork attack with a small knife, I love how chaotic it gets whenever I've entered a new segment. I always thought I had a plan, but it almost never went as planned and got chaotic fast. One thing that bothered me was that some level design decisions made it too easy and that the game wanted to hold my hand for too long. Like the yellow tapes for example which are everywhere. If it would be subtle then it doesn't bother me but it was way to frequently. But sadly that is how the industry works nowadays, everything has to be more casual. Luckily all other mechanics were improved or update to modern standards. Not only the gameplay and the graphics which are beautiful, there are also so many new animations and rarely have I seen such a level of detail in the animations and level design. Leon reacts to all kinds of stuff whether he is hurt, unsure or tense. He changes his posture and even facial expressions which you can easily overlook in the chaos of the fight. The feet of El Gigante also leave footprints or rain bounces off Leon's head, there are so many details that I could talk hours about them. Both characters, Ashley and Luis have also received a major improvement. Luis whole arc works so much better and it was cool when he helped you in fights. I was surprisingly sad when he died in the mines. Ashley is amazing and so cute. The chemistry between her and Leon is great. I was glad to see that Capcom kept small details like her fist pump whenever you shoot an enemy. In the original I was glad when she was taken away but in the remake I was sad and that's probably the biggest compliment that you can give.
    Overall this probably one the best remakes of all time if not the best. It plays with your expectations even for people that have played the original. this remake surpasses the OG in every way possible    … Expand

    This game is peak Resident Evil, it hits all marks in every category. The action based survival horror genre was made because of the OG RE4 and it makes sense that this game would come back 20 times stronger. The action was just absolutely great.

The action based survival horror genre was made because of the OG RE4 and it makes sense that this game would come back 20 times stronger. The action was just absolutely great. Non stop entertainment. Fighting a bunch of different enemies who have different ways of attacking you and bosses that were just fun as hell to fight against. The visuals and graphics are probably one of the best in the world right now, up there with Demon Souls and Red Dead 2, probably even better. My favorite part of the entire game was the sound design. Sound design in video games are so crucial and undervalued these days, it's great to see them accomplish what they did in this game. The sound of the footsteps walking in different terrains, the sounds of the guns shooting or reloading, the sound of the menu and navigating the UI, just an absolute ASMR fest with the sound.

    The same directors who directed RE2 remake also were the directors in this remake and it makes complete sense. The game gives you the ability to explore and figure things out at your own pace and gives you the ability to make your playthrough unique just like RE2 remake did. I loved every second of this game and after finishing it immediately jumped back in to a second playthrough for some more and it still feels fresh. Any game that can make me go back in and play a second time not too long after completion is a rare W.

    I see a ridiculous amount of 0s in ratings on this game from user reviews and it's actually embarrassing the amount of people who simply hate review just to be nuisance. Anyone giving this game a 0 is a joke. It's a survival horror - action game, anyone who complains about resource management in a video game shouldn't be playing RE games. Just saying. I'm willing to bet the majority of people who review bombed this were old boomers who can't let go of the past. If the game isn't EXACTLY how it was in the original they lose their minds and you can just tell by the things they say that's exactly who it is leaving bad reviews, actually cringe. They hate the fact that other people are enjoying a game they feel entitled to hate on. I played the OG game and I can honestly say this remake was a masterful job and yes they cut some stuff but they also added new stuff in it's place and made everything simply better. Voice acting on point, set pieces were great, just all around great stuff. STOP HATING BOOMERS.

    Capcom delivers once again! The greatest video game dev in the business who actually give fans what they want and don't make you wait too long for it. They've been putting out new games that fans have been asking for every single year and they continue to outdo themselves. Thank you Capcom for yet another absolute masterpiece!    … Expand

    That is one of the greatest games I've ever played, they nailed . Capcom did an amazing job making parts from the original better. The cut content I think will be released in a future DLC, so no worries, I that's the bets Capcom remake so far. What I liked about that game was the new mechanics, new weapon effects and mobility and has a good replay factor.

    Social media is almost always brimming with ‘when will we see next-gen?’, but, I think we need to take a closer look at what we have now, because if any recent game showcases what next-gen should feel like, Resident Evil 4: Remake is 100% it.

    A complete and attractive renovation Capcom once again proved its remake skills, this time with the remake of Resident Evil 4. And it showed well how a remake can provide the experience of modernity without omissions and fidelity to the classic version.

    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.
