A game so great that the only thing that can rival it is its own.

This game makes me realize I'm absolutely terrible at video games. But gods do I love playing through this.

You know a game is good when you want to replay it right after finishing it. Multiple times and once you get all of the combat, evade and parry mechanics it makes you feel like a badass.

The original RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was my first M rated title that my father let me play when I was younger. We'd play it together often and I always enjoyed watching him play it and unlocking new things in the game. And when he got all the cool stuff he'd let me play so it would be easier for me with all the unlocks he kept achieving. Eventually, I started my own play through from scratch and it was such a good time and so rewarding to unlock everything by myself.

My dad would look at me so proud. He passed away from Cancer in 2019 and to this day I still play it at least once a year in his memory, so I couldn’t wait for this remake. Now I'm 38 and when I boot up the remake. All the fun memories of being a kid with my dad come back to me. It's so special how art can make us feel this way in life. I miss you dad and I wish you could have been here with me to experience this fantastic remake.

It’s honestly amazing how they managed to capture the feeling of playing the original for the first time while also making it feel all new. The attention to small details in this game is amazing. Especially love how Leon actually c*cks his gun towards the right when the villagers get REALLY close to him. The remake manages to perfectly capture the feeling of the original and its addictive gunplay. The tension I felt in the village now as a 38 year-old was the same a did on the PS2 when I was a teenager. The gameplay is simply flawless and I felt I couldn't stop playing. Great controls, cool level design, and an outstanding sound design. Seriously, the sound guy deserves a friggin' raise for the sound of the gunshots and the variety of ambience (echoes in caverns, muffled sounds depending on context etc.). Also, the graphics are top notch.

I was very pleased with the changes they did to Ashley and her not having a health bar. When they anounced this remake, I kept saying it was unnecessary, but Jesus Chirst on an electric scooter, I needed this game to revigorate my interest in videogames again! I just loved how they redesigned the enemies and especially how they fleshed out the lore and storytelling. The files in this game are very cool, and I never really understood much about the plot in the OG when I was younger. This one made me want to explore every inch of each scenario and really care about Luis (what an outstanding glowup they gave him BTW). I usually don't like when games take too many changes in their remakes, but RE4 was the exception. Like I said, every scenario was improved over the original.

It's a perfect game. Great story and plot, engaging characters with depth and development, perfect atmosphere, it's funny, it's dark and tense, edgy and stylish. Perfect playthrough length, it's super repayable, has a crap ton of weapons to use, the combat is super fun and satisfying and also challenging. Huge variety of enemies, nice little side quests, minigames, treasure hunting, a ton of unlockables, a good DLC campaign and Mercenaries mode. Like damn this game has it all. The scope is insane when you compare it to the previous remakes.

I can’t even remember what the original is like now. This is one of the few games in which I've also enjoyed the side quests and mini games, shooting those blue medallions is so satisfying it’s ridiculous and the shooting gallery is great fun. Professional mode with the Chicago Typewriter and Infinite Rocket Launcher is big fun. Especially when Ashley has the armor on. In the words of the famous Major Payne….”Blood and Guts and Spit and Ass was Everywhere!” I cannot stop playing it. I’ve played it through with my wife’s boyfriend like 6 times! It is one of the best games I have ever played. I really loved this Remake, and I kid you not, I wish I could play it as if it were my first time all over again. So many years later and still a 10/10. I highly recommend it. Can't thank Capcom enough for this gem.

10/10
