Just like with the original from 2005, if you take it as a RE this is a bad game; the story and setting are dumb and Leon is pretty much John Rambo, i always resented that from RE4, it turned RE from a survivor horror series to a full action game... That aside, if you take it simply as a Action game this remake is great:
The content is amazing, the game feels big, complete and sufficient. (I'm not even talking about extras or DLC, just base game)
The new mechanics feels just right, like they truely belong to the game; the quick weapon swap, the parry or the way they implement the original QTEs as a more gameplay-ish mechanic. And the pinnacle to all this improvements are boss battles, they are no doubt better than the original RE4 boss battles. This are the best boss battles of any RE games so far. Just a little caveat to this, you MUST play it in Hardcore, that's where this game shine.
I have 2 main complains:
1. There's is a level of modern "sanitization" to the game... You know, the "This is problematic now, remove it" kind of bullsh!t.
2. The hold-my-hand spoilers on the loading screens. You don't have to find out how to beat things, the game spoils you the emotion of discover the enemy's weakness by yourself. I hate when games do that.
So, even when i love classic zombie RE games, at the end this is a very amusing and fun game to play, i can't get mad to that.
Also, this game runs pretty bad on PS4, lots of bad textures and framerate. The Island scenario is a framerate disaster, it was clearly designed for PS5.
