For a game that is focused on rescuing the President's daughter, Resident Evil 4 leans heavily on it's characters. Leon's arc of battling his self doubt through helping others is beautifully written, and seeing how each supporting character mirrors him in some way makes for a surprisingly deep character study for its premise. The gameplay loop is excellent and offers a ton of variety in weaponry, scenery, and encounters.
