Resident Evil 4 Remake, just like its two predecessors, is an incredible reimagining of a classic. Did Resident Evil 4 necessarily need a remake? I don't think so since the original still stands the test of time and that it's available on all modern platforms, but God--this is good. It takes the euphoric gameplay of the original and modernizes it with parrying, being able to move while aiming (which I honestly rarely did), and more. It takes the memorable story, and takes it up a couple notches. More interesting set pieces--especially with Separate Ways giving us back the cut content like the cable car thing--better characters, and the game is faithful in making the graphics current. This is also the best paced Resident Evil in my opinion. No part seems to drag on for more than it needs to--which is something RE4 really struggled with towards the end. The boss fights are great too. Krauser was a real highlight for me
