This games biggest weakness is that it's a remake. The original is one of my favourite games of all time and if I wasn't comparing it to it every 5 seconds whilst playing then it would be a much better game because the OG out does it in almost every single way. To me the things that the remake does better is the gameplay, Luis, Ashley, Krauser and the crafting system, but when it comes to characters like Leon, Ada, Salazar, Saddler etc it frustrates me just how much I think they missed the mark. The reason why Saddler is so much of a menace in the original is because he constantly digs at you and gets under your skin when he speaks to you over the coms, when you take that out and limit his screen time he just becomes a generic big bad, something the RE remakes have had a big issue with and the exact same goes with Salazar. I know Ada's voice actor got a lot of flack but I find more of the issue to be the writing of her, though I do agree with her performance not exactly backing it up.

It's a really good and enjoyable game that does horror brilliantly, more so than the OG but it takes out what makes the original the original. Despite that there's no doubting that the RE4 remake is a technical masterpiece, so much so that if the original didn't exist, this game could be one of the best ever. However, in my controversial opinion, it's not even a better remake than RE2. Also Capcom, please don't remake 5, thank you.
