Resident Evil 4

I couldn't stop playing this for the life of me. Having played a decent portion of the original, this expands upon the story, gameplay, and characters of that in every way. It took me just under 20 hours to do an all treasure first playthrough. Everything that happened felt interesting and fun, and it's a good bit scarier which I know was a lot of people's main issue with the original. The characters look fantastic and I found them all to be quite likable. I will surely be spending many more hours getting all of the extras and playing on new game plus because wowow this is without a doubt my favorite resident evil game, possibly in my top five favorite games ever.

I played the original which is a bit clunky but I do have to say it was the first Resident Evil game to have the third person mode we all know Resident Evil for these days, you couldn't move while aiming which players didn't mind, now all of this has changed, you can move while aiming (thank you for that) however your chances of being grabbed by an enemy are way higher, game is way bloodier (not an issue for me) but I love the feeling of the map, more colors, more realistic and more at stake, this took what was so great about the original and made it not just better but millions of times better, in 2005 the game was groundbreaking and this remake within the first hour has turned the original game stale, the original outdid itself, it exceeded expectations, this one also exceeds expectations so much so that I'm kinda scared of what players will say about the original, with that out of the way though, this is a remake that fans deserve and whether you're just now joining the fandom or have been there since the beginning, you're in for a ride with this remake, thank you Capcom, you've made a great game even better.

This game really surprised me. I love the original resident evil 4. The way this remake feels like it was made. It was something really special. It is loads of fun. The thrilling action and horror is awesome with the combat. They really made a great game here. A remake that delivers the goods. In some ways, it improves and makes it better than the original resident evil 4. The graphics are awesome. The game does a nice job with the characters. Resident Evil fans will love this thrilling adventure. It must be experienced. A very enjoyable experience. I am excited for what resident evil does next. This franchise keeps getting better and better. Great job.

So, I've been playing the RE games since RE 7 came out and loved it. I played it first since it was its own stand alone game that tied in to the franchise but didn't require me to play anything before. So needless to say I haven't really played the originals. I did attempt them, but they weren't my thing. I played the RE remakes 2 and 3 as well. About a year before it was released it was getting a remake, I bought RE4 for my switch, but I didn't get very far because the controls were... horrendous on the switch. So I said "eh, they're probably gonna remake 4 soon anyways. Anyways. Finally the day came the remake was released. Gotta say, I loved every thing about this remake. I didn't run in to any glitches or anything on my first play through which is rare, especially when it comes to new releases. This was probably by far one of the best remakes I've ever played, and one of the best videos games I've ever played. In my opinion? This is by far game of the year for me. Fan of the original? New to the franchise? Need time to kill? PLAY IT! You won't be disappointed!

I watched several videos and looked at many images of this game before release but I honestly couldn't see much of a difference between this and the original. I knew the other remakes were well done, however, so I had confidence it would be a success. The best way to experience it is to just play it yourself and don't fully rely on online content. I'm glad to admit I'm blown away by how entertaining it is, as well as tense and frightening. The village at the beginning had me shaking a little bit once the chainsaw guy came out.

I try not to be a biased person. I love the original for what it is and I'm loving this remake for what it is as well. You don't have to choose one over the other. Just enjoy them both in their own way.
