Fuck it, I'm bumping it up to a 4½. Loved pretty much every moment of this and my Village of Shadows playthrough was a ton of fun. Even the mercenaries side mode was great. I loved going for the S ranks on that and the DLC allowing you to play as different characters just allowed it to avoid becoming stale at any points. Probably my 2nd favourite RE game now tbh.

Oh that sucks. What made it worse for you?
I guess the lack of engaging puzzles and the absurd amount of scripted content made me lose interest in replaying it more often.
Resident Evil games are always at their best in the first area and even the Castle here which was the best part of the game was still lacking in puzzles and threats, Raccoon Police station, Spencer mansion and Baker family house all worked better somehow.
I found the first section at the village to be tedious especially the third time around, the escape game, the werewolf attack and the scene with the villagers at Luisa's house, the factory and the doll house, they are great for the first playthrough but they hold less appeal compared to the best of RE games.
Its still a good recommendation for every fan of the series, sadly i think it won't hold up as well as the first 3. It also doesnt help that im not a fan of Resident Evil 4 formula, so it could be that too.
