A truly wonderful game. It excels in terms of atmosphere and immersion. The graphics and sound are phenomenal. Not only that, the game mechanics, especially the shooting, is incredibly solid. It feels very satisfying when you put down an enemy. I found the environment extremely interesting throughout the entire game; nothing felt rehashed or boring. There's a lot of variety with the enemies too, quite a few one off special monsters, some of which are genuinely frightening.
The game feels like a piece of art to me with many intricately designed and impressive looking buildings. There's even a huge and spectacular castle. They are all filled with intriguing contraptions, old style furniture, creepy looking statues, stuffed animals, and sellable antiques to find, all set in a world of gloomy forests, forbidding precipices, caves and rustic villages. It's all painstakingly crafted by a team of highly talented artists.
The bosses are varied, challenging and satisfying. In addition, the shop keeper system is extremely good. It keeps you motivated to hunt for treasures to get money to upgrade your gear.
It's quite a lengthy game, and, in the end, you feel like you have been on a huge adventure.
Capcom just keeps on delivering the goods! I think they are the best gaming company in the world at the time of writing. They just keep on producing great games (which are not broken at launch, a rare thing these days). The only Resident Evil Remake that they didn't nail was Resident Evil 3, but boy did they make up for it with this one, BIG TIME.
Also, I just bought the DLC for this game, and, DAM, Capcom delivered yet again. Their DLC for Village was pure class and this one is just as good. And it only costs £7.99! And for that you get a whole lot for your money.
In summary, if you like horror, action, atmosphere and great characters, then this is the game for you!

GAME OVERVIEW
Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president’s recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however after making first contact he discovers a fervor beyond reason grips the local populace.
Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that is true to the promise of the original release. Fans and newcomers alike can revel in both the new and familiar, as RE Engine heightens the design and creative direction of the original game.

• Reawaken a Classic – Resident Evil 4 preserves the essence of the original game, now reconstructed using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine to deliver realistic visuals and additional narrative depth to the iconic story that was not possible at the time of the original release. • Modernized Gameplay – The team from 2019’s Resident Evil 2 returns to build upon the series’ modern approach to survival horror. Engage in frenzied combat with the Ganados villagers, explore a European village gripped by madness, and solve puzzles to access new areas and collect useful items for Leon and Ashley’s constant struggle to survive. |
o Overwhelming Hordes – Face hordes of rabid enemies that threaten to overwhelm Leon with even more diverse methods of attack than in the original release. o Survive on a Knife’s Edge – Years of intense training have taught Leon new ways to use his knife, helping to even the odds against the unrelenting onslaught of enemies. By parrying enemy attacks, you can avoid debilitating damage and evade lunging enemies seeking to grab Leon and hold him in place. Make smart use of scavenged knives to deliver precise finishing moves on vulnerable enemies, and even use the element of surprise to quietly dispatch unsuspecting foes before your knives break. |
• Reimagined Story – Resident Evil 4 dials up the original release’s key feelings of loneliness and the fear of enemies blinded by zealotry, while providing more nuanced depictions of the character motivations and relationships that defined the 2005 survival horror icon. • Sophisticated Visuals – Built on Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 4 delivers breathtakingly photorealistic visuals in 4K, complete with stunning lighting and pooling shadows to create an up-close, intense atmosphere. |
