Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the 2005 original Resident Evil 4 reimagined for 2023 to bring state-of-the-art survival horror. Resident Evil 4 preserves the essence of the original game, while introducing modernized gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and vividly detailed graphics to make this the latest survival horror game where life and death, terror and catharsis intersect.
Set six years after the events of Resident Evil 2, an older and significantly toughened Leon S. Kennedy has been shaped by his experiences of enduring the disaster that wiped Raccoon City off the map and events beyond. Now reporting directly to the President of the United States of America, Leon is given a new assignment: To locate and rescue the President’s kidnapped daughter. Tracking her location to a secluded village in the European countryside, Leon prepares to take his first steps into another nightmare that reaches far past reason.
The combat continues to be very satisfying while feeling even better to play. The added parry mechanic changes everything and basically rids of all the frustrating angles of the OG combat. All frustrating moments of the original such as the minecart have been reworked to be more fun.
The charming cheesy one liners return, while also improving the general dialogue of the cutscenes. Music is even more intense and passionate. The visuals are stunning, probably the best lighting I've seen in a game.
Hands down while I love the OG, this remake definitely surpasses it.
