Played this game for the first time and it holds up so well over 15 years after the original release. Special shoutout to the great work of the RE4 HD Project for the work they did on the graphics.
Its not particularly scary like some other RE games since its more action focused but that action is awesome and this just right level of cheesy that it works. Dare anyone to say suplexing or roundhouse kicking cultists isn't dope.
The game also keeps managing to throw new cool setpieces at you until the end of the game wheras in many other games I may only come away feeling only a handful are memorable.
Puzzles are a bit easy but in this case I think thats good as it serves to keep things moving in an entry where you want to get back to the action.
Definitely a few places that could have been better, the way characters are introduces/used and a few parts toward the end could be shorter or cut, but overall I see why this is one of the most well regarded Resident Evil games and I'll be looking forward to how the upcoming remake handles those issues.
