Resident Evil 4 (2023 Video Game)

The original doesn't hold up anymore, which says a lot

[10/10 · 24 March 2023]

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.
