After RE3 Remake, when Capcom announced that they were doing a remake for RE4, I was so happy; but at the same time, was scared that it would follow the path of RE3.
But believe me, while playing this masterpiece you won't think of RE3 anymore, and in my opinion, it was close enough to what we needed.

From the start, you'll notice that some places are changed and almost unrecognizable, but after playing for a few minutes, that old RE 4 shows itself within this game, but with almost real-life graphics!

here we have Capcom making you ready for the changes that you'll see further into the game. while showing you that they tried their best to be faithful. surely that has its ups and downs, but I can live with that.

is almost perfect; at first, I was worried that enemies were unreliable on being stunned when you shoot them in the face since sometimes it takes more than two hits for them to get stunned. But at the end of the game, there I was, blasting through them like a bunch of predictable insects. Sure, Leon's walking is a little heavy, but it doesn't make it any less fluid.
The map is fantastic, this was the first Resident Evil game in that I used its map more than 100+ times in one playthrough, and I was using it for gathering treasures and doing requests for HOURS!

Gunplay was great for me with all of the guns except with TMP, that gun will never shoot where you tell it to shoot, and I only used it 2 or 3 times when I was out of ammo on other guns, or I was trying to kill some nasty dogs with Nemesis-like teeth.

was expended much more, and there was so much to find out about the plaga and Los Iluminados, the Salazar family, and the betrayal of Ramon.
also finding out why Ada wants the sample or why Wesker needs it.
We get more information about Major Krauser and his operation with Leon. and even get to know more about our Madridan officer Louis Sera.
I think they're changing the whole story of Operation Javier, but it doesn't sound bad though.

are at the peak! I'm not sure if ReEngine can make it further in this matter from here on forward; the lighting is so cool, and you'll appreciate that when playing as Ashley.
There were some rainy moments in a section of the village that made my fps cry in its bed, but I can't call that non-optimized, because It was so beautiful and I was playing on Ultra 4K so I expected some fps drops.

is GREAT Now! She's no more a loud screaming machine that can't even climb down a ladder, but instead, you'll be amazed by the amount of help that she provides to Leon; I started to like her from the church encounter, there is more soul put into her and that was the best change they've made in the remake.

Some boss fights were changed a lot and even built new from the ground up, like Salazar and I didn't like that.
Fight with Krauser wasn't like old times and the area felt so empty; they even changed Krauser's mutated hand and it was much uglier than the original.

Some areas were a little bit smaller than the original, which was odd.

Merchant's voice was a downside; it felt like he was trying to mimic or even mock the original voice actor; I don't exactly know why, but It felt like I was talking to the duke from ReVillage. But Then I remembered that Duke didn't talk this much; even if he did, I didn't care.
But the merchant...ooh boy, he is so talkative now, Shut up already! I am trying to choose something to buy, don't give me that repetitive dialogue every second;
and his dialogue doesn't always mean something; for example, he sometimes says he got some rare things on sale but I the stranger couldn't find anything in his pockets.
Speaking of pockets, the only good and funny thing he said was that I couldn't put that Rocket launcher in my pocket.

the game feels so much like the old RE4, and in some cases even better; the action is like John Wick killing a bunch of farmers, but at some points, the Horror is Unbearable! w8 until you encounter and try to defeat the first two Regeneradors while looking for that Biosensor Scope.

The BIG undeniable flaw of RE4 Remake, which cannot be completely ignored, is simplifying or removing several challenging situations that were present or more engaging in the original version, especially from the island.

Some video games are so good, that everyone should experience them at least once. When Resident Evil 4 was released in 2005, it was considered as such. The remake of Resident Evil 4 is a good reminder of this fact too.
Experience this Masterpiece at all costs!
