Capcom has found a vein in the remakes of its classic games, remaking them with the love they deserve and showing that this saga is one of the great pedestals of the industry. Everything has changed, to a greater or lesser extent. The story continues to be the same, but the additions round out the product and tie it to the other deliveries. The gameplay offers enough novelties for newbies to feel new and for veterans to feel the challenge of fighting the memory and adjusting to the current form. The entire graphic section has been improved and updated, being evocative in the creation of terror, although the version for the previous generation suffers.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake is a prime example of how a proper remake is done. It retains almost every aspect of the original’s DNA and expands on it, making for a very nostalgic but also very refreshing and fun experience. The original Resident Evil 4 back in 2005 was a milestone that could still be enjoyed even today, so for a remake to be able to be just as good as the original is an amazing achievement. The Resident Evil 4 Remake is a must-own title that deserves a spot in any survival horror fan’s library and is easily one of the best games of the year.

Biohazard RE:4 quickly put to rest any remaining concerns of remaking from its previous work. It is safe to say the game struck the perfect balance of action and horror, and deserves to be called as a RE: TPS Masterpiece. It is not sure that the game will recreate the glory of the original in the end of the year, but the fact that the game is one of the best titles in this year remains unchanged.

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

Resident Evil 4 remains a must-play title in 2023, and while it may not be better in every possible way, this is overall the best way to experience it. Those who have enjoyed it in the past will find enough updates to keep things fresh, while new players won’t miss the few changes I might have skipped. So don’t make a horrific mistake and miss out on this one.

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.

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.

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.

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.
