Resident Evil 4 (2023) Reviews
Many would consider remaking a classic like Resident Evil 4 impossible. However Capcom has taken up the gauntlet and managed to make the classic even better. With an expanded storyline, better movement options and fighting skills, as well as many big and small quality of life improvements, this remake is better in almost every way, except for the graphics, which could have done with a bit more polish

So don’t make a horrific mistake and miss out on this one.
Whether you're new to the series or a longtime fan, Capcom has done a great job with this remake. Despite a few minor issues, it's a polished AAA horror game that's worth playing.
Resident Evil 4 is an incredible remake, with some of the best gameplay in the genre and lots of improvements compared to the original but a wonky aiming system on controller and some changes leave to be desired.

Resident Evil 4 Remake comfortably sits atop every other release this year with its excellent action, memorable characters, ridiculous replayability, and insane one-liners. RE Engine continues to look phenomenal, and Leon and Ashley have never been better. The remake does a brilliant job of becoming a modern example of improving upon perfection.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is an outstanding release that takes one of the best games of all time and somehow makes it even better. The stunning visuals, the combat enhancements, the improved AI across allies and enemies, the refined boss encounters, and the new additions – they all come together to make Resident Evil 4 Remake the most impressive release in the series to date and a jaw-dropping experience as a whole. Whether you’re a newbie to the series, a returning veteran, or simply want to see what all the fuss was about in the first place, it’s hard not to be blown away by everything Resident Evil 4 Remake offers. Here’s hoping Code Veronica gets the same treatment soon…
Resident Evil 4 Remake is a calamitous call back that welcomes all horror fans with a gruesome greeting of grisly gaming, that's impact will certainly be felt upon RE's promising prospects.
While not reinventing the wheel, the Resident Evil 4 remake offers a safe reimagining that emphasizes the series' action-packed nature over its horror elements.

Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 4 is an entirely new experience, shifting the focus from horror to action, which may not sit well with fans of the original. The remake, however, does an excellent job of restoring any concerns that may have been raised about it. Visually impressive surroundings, compelling cutscenes, and the new gameplay mechanism all contribute to the renewed appeal of Leon's saga.
I was excited for Resident Evil 4, and I’m happy to say the game lived up to the hype. RE4 offers a truly terrifying environment, tense gameplay, and an engaging story filled with great characters, and serves as a fantastic experience for fans both new and old.
18 years ago Capcom wrote history with Resident Evil 4 and revolutionized the genre. The need for a Remake left the community wondering if it is really necessary, which was put to rest with this sensational remake once and for all. The new story shines with graphical improvements all over the place and a flawless gameplay. Plot holes have been filled up with ease and the trashy charme of the original is nearly completely gone. This is the perfect version of this videogame masterpiece.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is an absolute must-play for fans of the series, and for anyone who loves survival-horror games. The updated graphics and improved gameplay mechanics make it an even more satisfying experience than the original, while still retaining everything that made the original game so great.
For a game that almost has as many different versions as Skyrim, this remake of the revered Resident Evil 4 has absolutely smashed it.
Resident Evil 4 rips you right back to 2005 and reminds you how special games can be. A remake done right, this release amplifies the game's strengths and obfuscates its weaknesses, making for a superb and modern take on a classic. Whilst further improvements could have been made, the results still speak for themselves, as Leon and Ashley's journey becomes immortalised with contemporary gameplay and visuals that maintain respect for the original release.
The long wait for Resident Evil 4 Remake was not in vain, as this game is one of the best games in history, whether its the original version or this remake. Capcom has once again excelled in delivering a remake that is the proverbial of game perfection and confirmed its ability and full experience in making this series and gave us the accumulation of their experience in this version of the game

Resident Evil 4 hits all of the right notes as it delivers a masterclass in action horror that lives up to, and surpasses, the original in nearly every way.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is absolutely an excellent update of a classic, it is brought to the present day another pearl of the saga, which has given so many joys to Capcom and players who follow it. It's not perfect, but it manages to reach an excellent level of quality, perhaps higher than what was achieved with the remake of Resident Evil 2. Designed to please both those who play it for the first time and the most familiar and knowledgeable. The new audience does have a fantastic experience and a journey worth living, while veterans will remember all the moments already experienced, and exalt themselves with the novelties, especially in the enhanced gameplay component and the beautiful visuals. There is a lot of content that is now refined, a stay that took almost 18 hours to complete, played in the calm and without completing all the additional objectives.

Capcom have done the impossible and made a remake that not only stands toe-to-toe with the original, but outshines it in plenty of areas too. The Resident Evil 4 remake is an extraordinary reimagining that honours its counterpart while giving it a more impactful coating of horror and suspense.
