The wait was fully worth it. This is a masterful sequel, and may very well be Remedy's peak. While the gameplay is fantastic, especially for a developer stepping pretty deep out of familiar waters, the story is an ocean that I didn't want to see the end of, but couldn't live without seeing where it goes. This is the Sonic Adventure 2 of horror games, and the Infinity War of Remedy. I mean those in every positive way possible. This is my Game of the Year, and that's in the same year as RE4.

The original Resident Evil 4 is, in my opinion, the best game ever made. Just a perfect game in my mind. When I say that, somehow, these guys were able to improve even on that masterpiece, that should sound alarms. RE4 Remake has some of the best combat I've ever played, makes changes that keep every moment fresh, yet familiar, and looks insane to boot. A must play in every way, even if it does lose a bit of the camp I latched onto hard from the original.

While not as good as the game prior, especially story wise, Killzone 3 still finds way to improve and advance the series into a great trilogy. Some of the back to back set pieces here are incredible, it continues the trend of Killzone looking better than any game of its time, and I very much enjoyed the more aggressive gameplay compared to the prior entries. I totally see why some people say this is the series peak.
