Certainly a welcome remake like RE2R, but the purest in me says it has a lot to be desired.

For example:
I was saddened that the U-III and the second El Gigante (in one of the cross roads choice after the House raid with Luis in OG RE4) boss fight has been removed.
It was obviously to streamline the game, as to the be fair OG RE4 does drag-on in some parts, the Castle in particular.
And another downside is the lack of personality with the head honcho, Ozmund Saddler. Instead of a bond-esque villain in the OG, Capcom level down Saddler into a typical occult leader and put that outlandish personality into Salazar who's already pretty faithful to the OG sans hat and "I'll send my right hand to dispose of you".

But in the end, highly recommended RE4R, it's the same level of RE2R and definitely not on RE3R's.

Hoping RE5R is the horizon, I wanna see my girl Sheeva back in action.
