Honest Review
Resident Evil 4 is one of, if not the most beloved installments in the series. While the remake was a very welcome surprise, many do believe that while the original game had its flaws it was not in need of a remake or remaster in comparison to other entries in the series.
However, I am very glad for this remake, as it is extremely well done. From the level and enemy design to the gameplay everything is smooth, calculated and controlled to perfection. The sense of dread, duty and scares are amazing and thanks to the improved pacing the game feels perfect to play and even though it is not as long as the other entries, I easily found myself wanting to play again to achieve the elusive S+ rank. Alongside the release of the game was the DLC and the VR mode which is amazing!
