Such a great way to play this classic, they took everything that was good from the original and pushed it to 11. Something I appreciate is that they went back and improved the somewhat linear progression that the OG had, theres just a lot more reasons to go and backtrack like the addition of new requests, objects / drawers you can't interact with without the necessary key items, or just simply going back to pick up treasure you missed, exploring RE4 has just never been so enjoyable and engaging until now.

The addition of parrying is great and just gives you another option to your approach in combat and crouching works great to not only make the level design feel more natural but also lets you stealth around and dodge incoming projectiles if you dont feel like using your knife or wasting ammo.

This game is just amazing and I highly recommend to people who have never played it before (although I still highly encourage you to play the original at some point).
