I usually try my best to avoid giving kneejerk 5-star ratings, but for this game I don't even give a shit. This game is awesome. RE4, more than any other horror game I've ever seen, understands the need for paced-out scares and levity. RE4's cast hits unreal levels of charm. I coudn't go a few minutes without saying, out loud, "what the fuck" in pure, blissful awe at the way these characters are handled. If you'd told me a few years ago that my favorite RE4 character would be Ashley Graham, I wouldn't have believed you. What a triumph. It feels so nice for a game to really deliver on the legacy I'd associated with it for literally my entire conscious life.
