    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

    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.

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.

    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

One of the most impressive aspects of the game is its unparalleled graphics. The updated character models, stunning environments, and impressive lighting effects bring the game to life in a way that was not possible in the original release.

    The animation in Resident Evil 4 Remake is also top-notch, adding a layer of realism and fluidity to the game's characters and creatures. The attention to detail is evident in every movement and interaction, making the game feel more immersive than ever before.

    While some elements of the story have been changed, the essence of the original remains the same. The game retains its gripping plotline, memorable characters, and tense atmosphere that made the original release such a classic.

    However, the game is not without its technical issues. While playing with ray tracing turned on, the game crashed multiple times, causing frustration and interrupting the overall experience. Hopefully, these issues will be addressed in future updates.

    The combat system has been improved spectacularly, offering players a more fluid and responsive experience. The game's controls are intuitive and easy to learn, allowing players to focus on the action and strategy of each encounter.

    Lastly, the game is more challenging than the original. Enemies are tougher and more aggressive, forcing players to think on their feet and adapt their tactics to survive.

    In conclusion, Resident Evil 4 Remake is a must-play for fans of the original and newcomers alike. The game's stunning graphics, top-notch animation, and improved combat system make it a thrilling and immersive experience. While there are some technical issues to be addressed, the overall package is a love letter to fans of the original, capturing the essence of what made the game such a classic in the first place.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another fine remake (yes, i even like RE3) from Capcom. Not as needed as RE2 and RE3 was,but nevertheless a great job. RE engine visuals are top notch, music and sound effects add a lot to the atmosphere, gameplay is superior to the original by adding a few things (parry system/instant weapon swap/aim while moving) and voice acting is also better except Ada which seems a little out of place. Areas have been changed a bit, especially in the castle section,a few things added and some are missing, though not as much as RE3 and bosses are all more memorable and intense encounters compared to the original, especially Krauser. Ashley is still inept beyond words but her section is quite good. Anyone who hasn't played the original, the remake is a must buy. If you did play though it depends whether or not you hold this game in high regard, just like me. In that case go ahead and grab it. It was a masterpiece back in 2005 and it still is, even more now with this updated version. Finally a videogame of few words and much gameplay. Action packed - moody - bloody - intense.

    Capcom managed to improve in every respect a game that was now crushed by the weight of years. The action remained a central point of the production but is now more balanced, plus the game has lost that excessive b-movie character. thank you Capcom

In other words, don't take this user score seriously, because it is, literally, manipulated and fake.

    Game itself is very good, near-masterpiece. Easily one of the best games Capcom has ever made and one of the best RE games of all time. Only real thing missing is U-3 boss fight. Because Remake literally improves everything else. Also i'm pretty sure that U-3 will be in the DLC, so hopefully soon, even that problem is solved.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I played the original last year and even tho I really enjoyed it I felt like the castle and the island acts (especially the island) were a little boring. This remake changed that a bit. The castle section has a horror vibe to it that the original didn't and the island act is more enjoyable than the 2005 one with changes to pacing that helps the overall feeling. The gameplay feels almost perfect, I just think the enemies shouldn't be so spongie. If I had to rate the 3 acts (location, bosses, immersion) it would be:

    Village - 10/10 (Peak gaming, no other game gives you the vibe this act gives.)
    Castle - 9/10 (Sounds like a dumb location but it somehow works well in the remake)
    Island - 7.5/10 (When you think about an island in a horror game you think something like dead island or a desert island. This is a military based one that breaks the immersion the other 2 acts gave you and almost turns the game into call of duty.)    … Expand

    Resident Evil was never meant to be some random horror game. It has it's iconic characters, locations, themes, bosses and so on. In that sense, RE7 is garbage and not really RE game, because it had pretty much none of these elements. It felt more like one of these early 2010s indie horror games.

For comparison, RE4 is PERFECT RE game, because it has all these iconic elements. It has horror, it has action, it has lots of bosses, iconic characters, also third person is so, so, so much better for RE than first person. First person just doesn't work for RE.

    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

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!

    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.
