I haven't played the original Resident Evil 4 or any other game in the series, so this was my first dive into the franchise. I chose this entry because it leans more toward action than outright horror. While there are a few scary moments, itā€™s mostly an action game with a dark setting and atmosphere rather than a truly terrifying experience. The combat offers a unique experience, quite different from other games I have played. Itā€™s slower and more methodicalā€”thereā€™s no dodge move, so when enemies get close you have to either walk out of the way or rely on parrying with your knife, which costs durability. It forces you to manage limited resources, which is a great fit for the survival horror genre. However, while I think this combat style works well and fits the tone, I canā€™t say I loved it. Personally, I prefer a more dynamic system where you feel nimble and less defenseless, rather than moving with the agility of a grandmother. The moment-to-moment story is decent and easy to follow, though it didnā€™t leave a lasting impression. On the other hand, the overarching lore was far more engaging, with neat backstories for the monsters and deeper mysteries about the world. Overall, Resident Evil 4 Remake is a great game, and Iā€™ve heard that fans of the original consider it a really good remake. I personally enjoyed playing it, but itā€™s not a game I quite fell in love with.

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 ā€” 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. šŸ˜‚ 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.

RE4 Remake probably the best of all RE series. This game contains horror and action elements which no other survival horror IP has (also probably coolest survival horror game ever exist). If you are one of RE fans, it's a must to be played. Gameplay: 10/10 Storyline: 10/10 Graphic: 10/10
