Capcom somehow managed to bottle the same lightning twice! Resident Evil 4 Remake is everything you expect from the reimagining of the same game. My only gripe is the missing Separate Ways story. If they eventually add it as a DLC, then this should be the definitive best version of the timeless classic that is called “Resident Evil 4”.

Capcom has once again succeeded in recreating a masterpiece in a manner that faithfully captures the spirit of the original while also evoking new emotions that challenge expectations. This remake does far more than simply recreate the past; it is an excellent reinvention. Capcom has raised the bar for what is expected of a remake while simultaneously preserving an enviable legacy. Without a doubt, Resident Evil 4 remains the experience that defined genres and stands as one of the greatest games of all time.

Resident Evil 4 succeeds for two key reasons: to keep the game as we knew it, but only touching what needed to be touched for the experience to be full. While it is true that it is not as surprising as the previous two (especially Resident Evil 2), mainly because the original game is not so old, Capcom has been very smart keeping the bulk of the story and gameplay and polishing only what needed it.

It is difficult to not be blinded by nostalgia, especially when a game has been part of the ongoing zeitgeist of the franchise for nearly 20 years. Resident Evil 4 Remake is, by intention, an unfaithful love letter. The remake has changed certain story beats, altered movement, overhauled combat and revised the visuals. Those jumping in for the first time in 2023 may not understand the hype surrounding this particular entry in the series, but remember that a lot of modern games owe their DNA to Resident Evil 4, even if they have perfected it since.
Resident Evil 4 Remake does a hell of a job arguing why a video game classic needed a remake. It straddles the line between loyalty to the original and providing a fresh experience better than even Resident Evil 2 Remake did. Pretty much every new gameplay mechanic and design choice leads to a more engaging and enjoyable game. I can't say that it replaces the original, but it's a damn fine companion, and most people wanting to experience RE4 for the first time will likely gravitate to the remake. Either way, it is a must-play for Resident Evil fans, and RE4 Remake is already a strong contender for one of the best games of the year.
Resident Evil 4 Remake improves upon one of the most influential games of all time.
Despite failing to recapture lightning in a bottle, Resident Evil 4 remake stands on its own merits as a game of impeccable quality.
Resident Evil 4 Remake manages to live up to the original classic, offering a campaign that has a constant feeling of newness. There are many changes, but the final balance is quite positive. It is a must-have title for any RE or RE4 fan.

The final grade is actually a summary of different perspectives on the game, and I'll use a relatively fresh comparison to help. I consider Resident Evil 4 to be a better game than Dead Space, but that applies to the originals. The new Dead Space is actually a better remake than the new Resident Evil 4. Additionally, it's hard to shake off the feeling that there's missing content in the game. It's as if Capcom didn't learn from the criticism they received with the Resident Evil 3 remake. Despite all that, it's still a very high-quality survival horror.

Capcom faithfully recreates their beloved masterpiece; the Resident Evil 4 remake will bring the classic story to a new generation and I firmly believe they will love it.
A remake that adds as much as it subtracts and improves while also being a letdown in some cases. Still, this doesn't stop it from being an unforgettable, intensive experience, albeit an uneven one.

This is Resident Evil 4 at its best.
Resident Evil 4 is Capcom at it's best. When you thought the multiple ports of the original might make this Remake feels outdated or "money-grabby", is definitely worth the price of entry even if you've played every version of the original game.

The game’s AI director rations health and ammo in such a way that players never feel like they have enough resources for the fight ahead. The resultant state of dread rarely lets up over the game’s 15-hour campaign but its meticulous balance mitigates frustration. As well as a serious graphical overhaul, some of the plot has been tightened up and the cheesy dialogue has been rewritten and is performed by new actors. Resident Evil 4 has never looked or sounded so good, and for new and returning players alike, this is now the definitive way to play.
The remake of Resident Evil 4 is, in one word... admirable. The developers managed to take a beloved original and not forget, with all the changes, what made it so special. You don't see that very often. Let's give it a round of applause, and hats off to you, Capcom.

Capcom have another masterpiece on their hands with the release of this remake. It preserves everything that made the original game so iconic but has also expanded on aspects and removed others to create a new, well paced masterpiece that honours the original game and has plenty of surprises for new or old fans. It’s certainly not going to be the last remake of a popular game we see that’s for sure, but it sets a new benchmark for how video game remakes should be treated.
By being faithful to all the elements that made Resident Evil 4 a history-making game, the remake of this classic game has become a lasting work that can be experienced and enjoyed many times. If you are an old fan of Resident Evil, you will like this remake so much that you will review your sweet memories and if you are not very familiar with this series, maybe in 2023 Resident Evil 4 will not be a revolutionary work, but it is made so well that everything is in its place and will remind you which franchise currently holds the throne of the survival horror genre.

Nearly 20 years after its original release, Resident Evil 4 is still as much fun to play through as it was in 2005. The game offers an astounding experience from beginning to end.
The Resident Evil 4 Remake follows what other remakes have done over the past few years, offering a far superior gameplay experience for a hit classic. What it does to stand above those remakes is by adding just enough new mechanics to make it feel like a more modern take on this tale, without having it be one-sided for players but also keeping to what transformed this entry into such a hit when it originally came out in 2005. The Resident Evil 4 Remake is a graphical masterpiece that is a hell of a ride from start to finish.
