Resident Evil 4 is brilliant. If it was only its combat system, it would be one of the best games I’ve ever played. But it isn’t, and it adds on top of that incredible pacing, length, charm, humour, bonus modes, and new game plus features. It’s the definition of a complete package.

Quick time events suck. I guess holding a button to run also isn’t the greatest.

Resident Evil 4 is not outdated. It is still one of the best combat systems ever designed, and it’s a shame that it has been so hard to follow in its wake.
