I would like to say this game holds up brilliantly, because every time I replay it I love it more and more, but I think it's impossible for me to divorce context from this game: I played this shit when it came out. You gotta understand what a shot of adrenaline RE4 was. I re-watched the X-Play episode with it on repeat because the game looked unreal.
Finally getting it? Yeah the game was unbelievable. As soon as you see a head explosion and a parasite crawls out the game firmly etches into your brain. There is a reason there was a generation of confused hairdressers getting copies of this game handed to them by 14 year olds who wanted Leon's haircut. It is a badass fucking game.
So I am not really able to say whether I think the game would be good for someone who is now 14 years old, but I replay it every year because it never loses its sharpness or bite, and I personally love every bit of it, even the island section. Resident Evil 4 is just straight up fucking awesome, no caveat.
