Gloria a Las Remakes ! Gloria a Las Capcom !
Resident Evil 4 Remake is the third iteration in Capcom ’s serial of hugely successful Resident Evil remakes . The original RE4 revolutionized the survival of the fittest - repugnance genre by enter the immersive , over - the - shoulder perspective in position of the cook camera angles that the series was known for . Despite being dissimilar , the game sell like hotcakes , and it was only a matter of time before RE4 would finally get a remake for the new contemporaries of console and players in the same vena as RE2 and RE3 . They say that the third time ’s the charm , but circumstances were flip out in this example . Many player wonder if Capcom could respectfully ingeminate on RE4 in any meaningful fashion — as it did for RE2 and RE3 — given how much more beloved Resident Evil 4 is . As it turn out , RE4 Remake is the best Resident Evil remaking yet , transcend its predecessor in both timbre and execution .
Gameplay
When the first combat started , I immediately noticed the gameplay difference from the original Resident Evil 4 . The combat feels much more activeness - packed , with the addition of hand - to - hand combat . Leon can now skirt and evade enemy attacks , not just thrash about at the opponents with his knife . There was even a boss fighting in the game that tested my hand - to - manus proficiency , which was a welcome change from the standard shoot - the - weak - spot routine .
The enemies react realistically to being bruise , which aligns with lore ; they ’re not just dewy-eyed zombies that experience no pain . Shooting Ganados in their leg to freeze them feels realistic and offers tactical advantage . RE4 Remake constantly made me practice those advantage by flux up different kinds of enemy , like cultist with helmets . Each fight feel like a young experience , and I always had to think on my feet during fight .
puzzle precede a welcome change of pace from the invariant shooting and fighting for dear spirit . Indeed , the Resident Evil serial publication is known for puzzles , and this looping does n’t shy away from utilizing this traditional component . I regularly encountered easy but fun puzzles , from placing correct lithographic table to unlock the room access in the castle to re - arranging the dissimilar - color practice to align the varnished ice image in a church .
Score : 5/5
Graphics
The graphics are the remain firm - out , next - gen characteristic in Resident Evil 4 Remake . The minute the first cinematic of Leon riding in a railcar with two police officers start , I was impressed by the bluff amount of item in the picture . The grain of his leather jacket , the life - similar faces of the cops , and Leon ’s hair’s-breadth — I could see incredible detail everywhere I bet . The impression of endowment and care I felt went into this project after witnessing the first scene were reaffirmed the more I play .
During my first playthrough , I was bumble away by the esthetic of the locales and how each one had a alone atmosphere and tone . Both the isolated , rural farmlands of the village and the medieval castle feel distinct , yet they go in the shared world . This was a throughline as I explored and fought my way through more of the island , slog through the secret science laboratory , ember mine , and even a military base where Ganados were the soldiers .
The effect are also next - level and deep immersed me into the biz . When I entered the village church , I walked through the wooden-headed mist covering the level , which only enhanced the spooky feeling and kept me on my toe the entire fourth dimension . The developers were measured not to overuse the core , though , relying on them just enough to put a thoughtful stress on certain view .

Sound
The sound complement the air of Resident Evil 4 Remake nicely . The developer apply sound to cleverly accent the tone of apprehension , with flighty chanting and animals snarl , and to foreshadow the coming fights .
An occasional garish boot and armour clanks in the duskiness made the scare effect even creepier when I toy as Ashely during a peculiar story sequence . I had to solve puzzles in a castle library , with Las Plagas in knight - shell armors skulking about . Since she could n’t fight , the game leave me weaponless and afraid in the dark , forcing me to take heed to the foe ’s movements to avoid them .
grievance : 4.5/5

Controls
Resident Evil 4 Remake control like a dream . Having play the game on PlayStation 5 , I can sustain that it feel splendid on the controller and is very well - optimized . It did n’t take me long to get used to the clitoris layout . The plot even offers several presets if you do n’t like the current one , so the customization is there for those who require it .
displace with Leon find very reactive , unlike the original RE4 . I feel the combat very organic , and while the power to move and inject finger novel for RE4 at first , it was noticeably more utilitarian once mastered . Coordinating with two analogue stick let me to move and bourgeon simultaneously , manoeuvre around the fighting area while shooting at the opposition to forestall them from invade me .
RE4 Remake allows the player to assign arm to directive buttons and choose them with the D - pad on the go , which makes the action flow swimmingly . spend all my shotgun ammo , I often switched to the side arm to keep the Ganados away alternatively of scrambling through the inventory carte du jour options — another welcome alteration .
