Very good game. Has its flaws, but overall a fun experience. I will note some grievances though;

- Aim bloom renders some weapons borderline impossible to use effectively.
- Unarmed enemies are by far the most frustrating thing to deal with. Inconsistent weapon stun means you get punished for actually shooting them. Just make them 100% stun when shot if they're charging you, like Ganado with rakes/pitchforks.
- Voice acting feels off for many characters (pretty sad that keyboard warriors think this means it's okay to harass the actors - it isn't, you nerds)
- Mercenaries update was very lacklustre; very little variety, very easy challenge, no unique rewards or achievements.
- Wesker and Ada missing from Mercs, very likely coming with Separate Ways/Assignment Ada DLC. If this DLC is paid DLC, MAJOR negative.

In a way, I am oddly glad this doesn't totally eclipse the OG RE4. There's still plenty of reason to head back to the original every once in a while, even if this remake stands on its own as a good game.
