60 of 363 · most liked firstToday marks the 20th (you read that right) anniversary of RESIDENT EVIL 4! A legendary title who's presence can be felt in every modern thirdperson game to this day. It's crazy to think I've been replaying RE4 for 20 years. It's one of the greatest action games ever made.
unlabelledView post →Some games are ones you delete after you finish them. Some games are ones you remember even years later. Resident Evil 4 falls into the second category for me. When I first started playing, I thought I was just going to play a high-quality remake. But as the hours passed, I realized that Capcom hadn't just revamped an old game; they had brought back to life a legend that players have loved for years. The atmosphere is incredible. From the moment you enter the village, you constantly feel…

Of course she does. Panic again. Merchant appears. “What are ya buyin’?” Sir I am fighting for my life. Peak Gameplay. Peak Game. Resident evil is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I reviewed Resident Evil Requiem and I loved it. My favorite installment since Resident Evil 4, it's scary, ridiculous, and impeccably presented. Fantastic stuff. Read here: www.thejimquisition.com/post/residen...
unlabelledView post →I’ve been waiting since 2023 for this moment: DRM-free at last. I finally bought the game because you stripped out the invasive background scanning and CPU bloat. It shouldn't take three years for a paying customer to get a version of the game that runs as clean as the one cracked in 52 days, but I’m glad we're finally here. Thanks for listening, Capcom. This is how you get my support.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Capcom does it again and adds the enigma drm after they tried and failed with revelations, do not let them get away this time either! *EDIT* Enigma was removed and RE4 is now playable again, negative review stays as it is still something Capcom thought they could get away with and should be a warning for potential buyers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Resident Evil 4 was another game I really didn’t see any point in remaking, but still enjoyed for how it made itself a separate experience. I don’t think it is inherently bad to enjoy remakes or anything, I just don’t think they should be championed as needing to exist for every single game ever.
unlabelledView post →This game made me feel frustrated and impressed at the same time. It’s stressful in both good and bad ways. You mess up once and you feel it immediately. Miss a couple shots and suddenly you’re scrambling, wasting ammo you carefully crafted and were trying to save. The game constantly pushes you to stay sharp. Manage your resources. Think before you act. Even arranging your briefcase starts to feel serious, like you’re prepping for something real. Making sure you’ve got heals ready and the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem - Gabe You just added DRM software that may decrease performance of the game up to 30%. Are you insane?. Why should anyone buy an inferior version of the game to the pirated one?, the answer is you shouldn't. As if it was already not enough that PC component prices are skyrocketing, buying a decent PC is extremely difficult and every percent of performance matters. Wake up Capcom.

unlabelledView post →Resident Evil 4 is a masterpiece, but honestly this review is for the Merchant. No idea why he’s there. No idea how he keeps getting there before me. No idea why he has a rocket launcher in his coat. But every time I see that blue flame and hear “What are ya buyin’?” my blood pressure drops. He doesn’t question anything. He just buys ♥♥♥♥, offers advice, sells guns, cheers you on at the shooting range, and somehow feels like the safest person in Spain. 10/10. Capcom, please bring back the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally trying Resident Evil 4 with HD Project installed and it's beautiful. Weirdly enough - a very cozy game for me, largely thanks to its environments, dense with lowpoly detail HD Project feels like a restoration of a classic art piece - the original vision available in gorgeous clarity.

unlabelledView post →This remake will probably hold the crown of being the best remake I’ve ever played for a very long time. It’s the quintessential definition of the word “remake” and how it should be made. I already reviewed Resident Evil 4 (2005), where I’ve pointed out the very core aspects of the series, genre, and such. But the remake version of RE4 deserves every little bit of attention it gets, and this review is not an exception. Starting off with the very basics: it is still a survival horror game,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game understands something very important. Fear is only interesting when you stop running from it. Leon walks into that village and immediately realizes something is horribly wrong. The villagers aren't normal. The air feels rotten. The entire place looks like civilization was abandoned halfway through a nightmare. And Leon just keeps walking. I love that. Everywhere you go, something is waiting. A villager screaming. A chainsaw starting. A parasite crawling out of somebody who…

You know a game is good when you want to replay it right after finishing it. Multiple times and once you get all of the combat, evade and parry mechanics it makes you feel like a badass. The original RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time. It was my first M rated title that my father let me play when I was younger.…

Capcom pulls out the biggest d*ck in their inventory, remakes and retunes it for this generation and it's easily one of the best survival horror games you can play today. Regardless whether you were a fan of the original or not, there's something here for everyone to scratch their itch when it comes to both horror and action. - RE Engine makes everything look creepier and more immersive than ever before, with the lighting being what…

Resident Evil 4 is one of my, if not, my favorite game of all time. It brings me back to my childhood, and everytime I play it, it just gives me a nostalgic experience, that I dont get with any game. It's very rare that you find a remake that absolutely blows your mind, yet, Resident Evil 4's remake absolutely brought me joy, and brought me back to my childhood. This…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Resident Evil 4 is one of those games that constantly keeps things fresh. Every new area, enemy type and encounter gives you something different to deal with. Leon is an absolute MVP. Luis is the kind of bro you'd actually want watching your back. The pacing is excellent. It knows exactly when to slow things down, when to throw a horde at you and when to make you question your life choices. Honorable mention to the bella sisters… Apparently one homicidal maniac with a chainsaw wasn't enough.…

Goodbye, fixed camera angles; hello over-the-shoulder action and gunplay!
unlabelledView post →In my opinion, this is the best Resident Evil game of all time. The gameplay with Leon is extremely fun, and the sections with Ada are also great. My favorite part of the game is the Separate Ways DLC with Ada. Playing through the story from her perspective adds even more great moments. I especially like the combat system. Perfectly blocking attacks with the knife and reacting quickly to dodge enemy attacks makes the fights feel very dynamic and exciting. The Mercenaries mode is also…

Not only because the game has an incredible atmosphere, memorable environments, unique bosses and simple yet addictive gameplay... but mainly because of the mods!! I personally absolutely loved being able to play the entire campaign and the DLC with Raven (from Stellar Blade) as the protagonist, one of my favorite characters of all time. That, for me, made the experience so much better and more special.. the…

unlabelledView post →I didn’t go into Resident Evil 4 expecting much. I’m not really a hardcore fan of the series, and survival horror isn’t usually my main thing. But somehow, this game completely pulled me in mostly because of its story. At first, it feels like a simple mission: Leon S. Kennedy is sent to rescue the president’s daughter. Nothing too special on paper. But as the game progresses, it turns into something much deeper and more intense. The atmosphere, the mysterious village, and the strange cult all…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just amazing. I feel RE2 gets you to like the characters, while RE4 makes you love them. What more could I possibly say that hasn't already been said? So much fun to play, while looking and running incredibly. Capcom has pulled me in big time.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →September 30th, 1998... It's a day I'll never forget. The cop inside me died that day. And that night, Raccoon City was wiped out. Thanks to the bioweapons created by Umbrella. Somehow, I made it out. But too many others...weren't so lucky. I was asked later to join a top-secret government program. Not that I had a choice. The training, the punishing missions nearly killed me. But at least they kept my mind off everything. If I could just forget what happened that night, the pain—even for a…

Vastly different in tone from the original, there was a bar set so high that an Olympic pole-vaulter easily could've missed, and yet they managed to craft a refreshing experience on the foundation of the bones, marrow and chilled blood of the RE4 we all know and love. RE4 is arguably my favorite video game of all time, I played…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is something visceral about the way we shoot, loot, manage inventory, explore and solve puzzles in this game which will make you keep coming back to it. RE4 is what a video game should be and Remake redefined it in a refreshing manner.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The boulder’s next appearance, in Resident Evil 4 (2005), plays out exactly the same. Despite all the innovations in game designs and all the artillery at Leon’s disposal, the boulder still could not be defeated — only escaped. Even narratively, Umbrella had been defeated; boulder is eternal. 7/13
unlabelledView post →A great game that Capcom decided to tarnish with this new and awful performance-killing DRM added long after release. I put 80 hours into RE4 Remake and love it, but can't recommend it in its current state. Shame on you, Capcom.
