Although Resident Evil 4 (2023) doesn't completely replace the original, it's still a nearly perfect game to me. The story is similar, but different in tone and arguably more captivating. Not as funny, sure, but when I look at it as a different game, I find that enjoyable in its own right.

The gameplay is so fun that I keep coming back for more even after 100% (which is incredibly rare for me). It's fun to play slow and casually or as a hardcore speedrun, because I enjoy picking up all the shiny stuff and clearing rooms just as much as I enjoy trying to scrape by with the bare minimum while on the clock. Have a spare evening? Do a challenge run in RE4 and the time just slips away. It's just plain addicting.
