I cannot fully articulate how much I adore this game, it is absolutely impossible to give a fair review but I’ll try my best anyway.
Resident Evil 4 remake is one of the most fun video games ever made, pure mechanical and aesthetic bliss. Initially I was extremely worried, the trailers made it seem more like the previous remakes with cheap horror, dark hallways and flashlights, but no, this game is not a horror game, it doesn’t even try, and that’s okay. Every character is a huge improvement over their original, both in design and writing. Characters are given way more time to breathe, the combat is given new depth, it truly is a new game, it is not a remake. It is a second attempt at an old idea, a new take on an old story and characters and that’s the best thing it could be. I love Ashley Graham she’s the absolute best and a major improvement over the original.
Please play this game as just a game, the idea that it’s a remake does it a disservice.
