    Um game maravilhoso, aprofundando ainda mais o leveldesign do game original que já era incrível antes e fazendo uma narrativa ainda mais marcante com um desenvolvimento maior para os personagens.

    This remake was amazing, it did not showed as much improvement as Resident Evil 2 remake, because classic Resident Evil 2 is a PS1 game that the graphics and gameplay were too old. Howewer, the actual game is actually better than Resident Evil 2 Remake, and obviously than Resident Evil 3 Remake. I'm not here to judge last actions of Capcom, I'm here to talk about the game.

The graphics in general is good(except water, it looks kinda cyberpunk water), the game uses RE: engine which means the game is really optimized. The Music of the game, ambience, boss fights, is as good as classic RE 4. About the history, they cut some parts, and others were adjusted(or combined), i liked most of it, and the ones i felt were missing, rumors say it will be in future dlcs. The horror was back in a lot of parts, you feel that some fights the best choice is just to run.… Expand

    It lacks optimization, it is impossible to play it and I have a 1500 dollar PC, it should run fine like any game I have even with better graphics than RE4

    I was expecting RE 4 remake to be the next big thing, and I played the original and considered it at the time as one of the best RE game ever (until RE7 that is). Sure the whole thing has the whiz bang extras that RE Engine entails, yet when I was playing it, there is something missing in the translation. It is not the 'second coming' that the critics are saying it is.

They’ve also improved and added on to some areas in the game, while practically leaving other areas untouched. Of course, this game’s graphics can’t be ignored either. They’re absolutely gorgeous, and it runs surprisingly well (for me, at least. I’ve heard others have had performance so don’t take my word for it. The way the characters are written have been improved from the original as well— the most notable changes being with Ashley. Much more likable and less annoying than the original. Combat has also been improved on, especially the close combat. A new mechanic with parrying has been added, where if you press a specific button at the right time, you can parry *almost* any attack and follow up with a kick or bullets to the brain. Of course there are some exceptions, like with some bosses, projectiles (although you can parry axes that are thrown at you and arrows that are shot at you, surprisingly) and of course some attacks like grabs. Capcom made this a great remake with greatly improving the original, also keeping and polishing the same values it had while, on top of that, removing some of the less enjoyable aspects the original had (like those quick time events, which were super unnecessary in my opinion.)… Expand

    I had so much fun with it. The thematic of the game is fantastic and maybe less scarier than the others. Maybe halfway to the end gets scarier but so much fun with it. Really good action horror game.

    I'm a huge RE fan, I've played all the games. I was worried about this remake and because the original is legendary, I knew that it will split people into two camps - The Old Generation and The New Generation of gamers.

    I finished the game in 18 hours and was BLOWN AWAY!! It's very loyal to the original game and I had lots of fun playing it.

    This is the best Remake game I've ever played! I like that they made a relationship between Leon and Ada better and it's also connected with the events of RE2. My favourite boos fight was with Krauser, it was much better than in the original and I love the way they did with parry mechanics. They cut some of the original content like the U-3 boss, the laser scene, lava room or the extra content Separate Ways which I'm sure will be a DLC. The biggest difference between the original and remake is that it's not that funny like the original, but I was still laughing my a** off.
    Sure, it has some imperfections like the voice of Ada or some bugs but it's not so horrible that I would condemned the game like most of the people here. I don't get it, this game has everything:

    PUZZLES
    JOKES
    ACTION
    SCARY
    TREASURES
    MANY TYPES OF ENEMIES
    BOSS FIGHTS
    STEALTH
    etc...

    I've read review from the users here and they were complaining about a lot of enemies that are frustrating because they're trying to grab you all the time, that's like I would go to the cinema on Paranormal Activity and complain that it was scary WTF? RE is an Action Horror game that's supposed to be scary and frustrating. I've also seen users giving 1/10 review because the game difficulty was too hard for them, go cry to your mama babies!

I don't think I have any complaints about this game. I can't wait for the DLC. I wish I had more free time from work to play. This game is so good I want to keep playing more.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. actually the game is good, the period in question is the voiceover. ADA WONG in this Remake version has a very beautiful face, maybe game developers feel that ADA WONG is after after the remake her face is beautiful and she has to look for voice actor that fits the appearance in the remake version… Expand

    I would say overall it wasn't a bad may have even leaned toward good remake. Well I could care less about the people that are throwing fits over not looking up skirts I do agree that Adas' voice acting was less than ideal this time in the original she had the younger more vibrantly sarcastic tone but in this one she just kinda sounded flat in some of the line.

    Fake reviews bombing the score simply because no panties and cut jokes that, even in 2005, were weird and out of place. Go outside for once edge lords its ok. This game was incredible. If you didn't enjoy it as much as the original that's ok, go play that one then. Simple.

    The best remake ever New enemies and still kept most important enemies in game

    Story is somehow as same as original even dialogue Such a WoW even in save rooms sometimes merchant is whispering the music of original RE4R.

    Knife has more uses in here You can parry even attack of Dr.Salvador The last for the least Great game
    Highly recommended

    A great remake of an existing great game, the only sad part I find is the troll reviews that for some unknown and most likely stupid reason they review bomb the game, at least on Steam for PC you only see verified purchase reviews with an overwhelming 97% positive reviews, that alone speaks volumes.

    So yeah ignore the idiots and play this amazing game.

    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.

    Adding the rating system makes it a good option to speedrun getting different rewards depending on your score, if the mercenaries mode added next week holds up just as    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.

    (EDIT FOR PERFORMANCE ON PS5) Disable raytracing and keep hair strands on or off, that´s up to your liking, but that way it remains on a locked 60fps almost all the time.    … Expand

    A near perfect update of an already near perfect game. The new visuals and scenery make the game utterly terrifying. Shooting feels very tight and the game controls incredibly well. The story has been updated to fit the remake timeline and its great to see Leon's and Ada's actors back creating consistency that the Resident Evil series never really had much of. Already on my second playthrough.

    Everyone review bombing this game is dumb. This is an amazing remake that is meant to be more serious and a better sequel to re2. If you want the game to be goofy and not take itself seriously play the original, I love the original but the remake is better as a continuation of re2.

    What losers are giving this game low scores? It’s one of the best remakes ever made. I love the original, it’s one of my favorite games, and this remake does it justice and then some. The haters are probably just mad you can’t look up Ashley’s skirt anymore. Weirdos.

    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.

    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.
