Resident Evil 4 Remake

We’ve been down this road before. The OG Resident Evil 4 came out way back in 2005, but you’ve never seen it quite like this. Much like Capcom’s done with the remakes of previous Resident Evil games, the Resident Evil 4 remake gives the base game a nice facelift. You’ve got the usual tweaks that come with that: enhanced visuals, revamped controls, and modernized combat. But on top of these welcome changes, the studio also altered the gameplay and narrative to streamline elements for a tighter, tenser atmosphere. Some bosses have been either deleted or replaced with new ones, fan-fave aspects like the merchant-run shooting galleries have been expanded, and characters are more aware of their perilous situations and aren’t hitting on Ashley Graham all the time. It’s a solid update that makes an all-time classic even better.

A Good Match For: Resident Evil fans looking to revisit Leon Kennedy’s 2005 escapade with revamped controls and visuals, survival horror enthusiasts, and anyone generally looking for a tense game with some creepy atmosphere.

Not A Good Match For: Non-Resident Evil fans, folks who get scared easily, and anyone who doesn’t enjoy survival horror elements in their games.
