    Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na vida, e com certeza pra mim o melhor resident evil já feito!

    This remake is one of the most important games of past 3 years and absolute masterpiece! Sadly some very evil and tasteless people are trying to review bomb this game, but thankfully their opinion doesn't even matter, because this game is loved by over 95% RE fans. :)

    This game can have billion dislikes on this site, but it will still remain as a Masterpiece and in many ways, improved version of the original. Haters can't change the reality, even they want to.

    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.

    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

    Es un excelente remake de un juego que revolucionó los videojuegos. el gameplay es muy entretenido, ampliaron la mayoría de los mapas y eliminaron lo innecesario. Lo unico que puedo criticar es la interfaz, muy pequeña.

    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.

    Great game. Some content left out and I think they should've spent more time developing Saddler's relationship with Leon as well as Ada's but this barely affected my enjoyment of the game. It's mostly very faithful to the original. People rating anything below a 7 are acting unwise.

    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. Graphic: 9/10 Gameplay: 10/10 Story:

    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! IF YOU DON'T LIKE CHALLENGES, DON'T PLAY GAMES!

    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

    As of now, this is literally best version of RE4 and already has become fan-favorite version of the game. This is not even up for debate, this is objective fact! I could debate with RE4R haters for hours and they would still lose, because they have NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to back up their hate. Even U-3 is coming in DLC, so he will be part of the RE4R anyway. There's absolutely no wayAs of now, this is literally best version of RE4 and already has become fan-favorite version of the game.

Even U-3 is coming in DLC, so he will be part of the RE4R anyway. There's absolutely no way i could ever go back to that old Ashley, tank controls and brown graphics. OG was my favorite game for over 15 years, but it's time to move on to the better version and i'm glad that Capcom actually managed to improve this game, cut out useless stuff and make everything better than before.

    Masterpiece and very clear GOTY!!!

    One of the best games of all time just got one of the best remakes of all time! It plays great, looks great, sounds great and has stellar pacing!

    If you can’t enjoy this game it is probably because of one of the most petty reasons ever.

    Este remake me ha dejado más que satisfecho, fue una experiencia digna de un juego que está hecho con ganas agregando cosas que no estaban en el original y mejorando muchos aspectos dignos de un buen remake. Muy rejugable y divertido, gráficas excelentes, variedad de armas para jugar de distinta forma, el agregado de sigilo y parry hace que el gameplay sea menos monótono, la ambientación siniestra y oscura combinando la acción es un equilibrio perfecto que se hace notar. Recomendadisimo

    Fantastic remake. To those who are review bombing - please take off the rose tinted glasses. Original Resi 4 is one of my favourite games but it is very dated in a lot of ways. This remake brings significant gameplay improvements and a less whacky tone making it a better companion piece to the excellent Resi 2 remake. Characters are more likeable and well-rounded.

This remake brings significant gameplay improvements and a less whacky tone making it a better companion piece to the excellent Resi 2 remake. Characters are more likeable and well-rounded. People seem to be bothered by the fact Ashley is no longer completely pathetic and there are a lack of upskirt shots and less sexist dialogue. Hers and Leon’s relationship is much better handled, and while a good deal of the cheese is cut, the trade off is better atmosphere and horror elements. Sure, some cut content over the course of the game but in my opinion it helps the pacing, there are some great new additions too and almost all changes are for the better. Game is still a 20+ hour campaign without any bloat or filler. I played on Ps5 and found performance and visuals good overall. This is how a remake should be handled. Ignore the petulant downvoting, game of the year for me so far, had a blast. Expand

    un juego que roza lo excelente, los cambios realizados quedaron perfectos, logro hacer que partes aburridas o mas flojas como la isla se hagan mas llevaderas.
    Juego recomendado al 100, la version que jugue fue la de ps5 y corre excelente tanto en modo rendimiento como en calidad.

    Such an amazing experience! Can't wait to play this over and over just like the original game. The characters, the story, the graphics made an overall great gaming experience. The only regret I have is not buying the deluxe 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.

    Overall it holds together very well, and even though I played the whole game in two days with minimal sleep, I didn't even think about taking a break for a while. [Issue#327]

    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.
