Resident Evil 4 Remake is one of the top tier games created by Capcom other than Resident Evil 7 Biohazard. Even the Original RE4 was revolutionary for it's time. As a guy who played the original, it's safe to say that RE4R is a well baked apple pie. Especially the 3 in 1 effort they put in for recreating or more like renovating ashley is really worth mentioning. The graphics, soundtracks, new character models, cinematics etc...RE Engine nailed it. In terms of gameplay, it's truly a chef's kiss. Parrying was so damn satisfying and so is Leon's stun kicks. Weapon varieties are also great. Speakin of story, pretty much everyone knows the story since it's a remake. But in general it has an amazing and compelling story. RE4 has the longest main campaign in all of RE franchise. The Separate Ways DLC is on par with the title. It's what Capcom always does, nothing surprising. It's exceptional as it should be. As we know it's the same DLC as in the original. In conclusion, The Original was heaven and so is the Remake. Nothing much to say. Btw the game is so rewarding, the more playthroughs you do the more rewards you get. Hands down to the best RE game, Simple and straight 10/10.

I played through the original from 2005 about 7 times on the highest difficulty level. The new title is called a remake, but many areas have been changed and familiar bosses and enemies have been used in other places, you can like that, but you don't have to. There are also one or two new settings, so some things are new and make you want to play through, that's how it should be. The graphics and atmosphere are really very well done, in my opinion the best part of the whole series. The light and shadow effects are really impressive. The new missions like medallion shooting are also fun, which was great in the original. The game itself has become harder, in some places it has a bit of a Dark Souls feel, because you just die without warning or enemies that used to come slowly (Regenerador) now come crawling and jump at you, the traps are also much better laid and the game sometimes turns into work. You are also no longer invincible when you perform combat animations, many enemies no longer stop when you shoot at them and absorb many shots like a sponge. Killing enemies from behind without being noticed is a nice feature. You can no longer kick doors in either and ammunition (if you get it) is used up again straight away because the areas are just packed with enemies, it sometimes feels like Killing Floor. You are constantly crafting ammunition and shooting. To be completely honest, when it comes to graphics, sound and atmosphere then it is definitely Resident Evil 4 Remake, but when it comes to authentic areas, nice speed runs or relaxed gaming then definitely the original. I see the remake more as a parallel game to the original. I like them both. Now for the negative point, what I didn't like so much: In the original, the Separate Ways expansion was included for free, in the remake you have to shell out extra money for it, and 2 weapons or costumes that aren't available in the game can only be obtained via microtransactions, so here again they want to really cash in and milk the player. Keyword: Fear of missing out (FOMO). And then there are special suitcases or talismans that make the game easier because you get more resources, money or buy special upgrades. Microtransactions in a single-player game? I think that's really stupid. I only got the main game + Separate Ways and it was worth it.

Stranger. Stranger, now that's a remake. When Resident Evil 4 (2023) was first announced I wasn't really on-board with the idea of remaking such an iconic game that helped shape a new entire generation of games. Its original presentation, setting and atmosphere could never be replicated — or so I thought. It's true, the game didn't really need a remake, it's still one of the best games of all time and it felt somewhat modern to this day... that was, until I played this one. Not only it is an improvement on the original in various ways, it is also a template for future remakes and it also stands on its own as a game if you've never played the original or any other Resident Evil games. Some of the new features are a welcome addition, like parries and dodges in place of the old and cumbersome quick-time events. It's also awesome how they rearranged some of the original locations, items and enemies so it feels fresh while also being familiar if you've played the original. Some parts were reworked to better fit the narrative and expand it, and some of the original story even makes a little more sense now, while some still don't. 😂 A little bit of the charm of the original was lost with the new translation into the somber and more "realistic" setting of the remakes, but it's not to say it doesn't have its own charm. CAPCOM definitely went bingo on this one.
