As a fan of the original Resident Evil 4, I approached the remake with high hopes and it delivered in spades. Capcom has masterfully resurrected this classic, blending its iconic gameplay with modern improvements and a stronger emphasis on atmosphere and horror. It’s a love letter to fans of the original while inviting new players into its world of survival terror.



Resident Evil 4 Remake brilliantly captures what made the 2005 classic a genre-defining masterpiece. It retains the unforgettable pacing, intense combat, and thrilling set pieces while reworking the tone to lean further into its survival horror roots.

From the moment Leon steps into the fog-laden village , you can feel the dread. The environments have been overhauled with stunning detail, immersing you in a world that feels both familiar and terrifyingly new. The oppressive atmosphere and haunting audio design bring the horror vibe roaring back, making every encounter feel tense and visceral.

The narrative's iconic scenes, such as the chaotic village siege and the unsettling encounter with the regenerators, have been revitalized with a renewed sense of dread. The game effectively recaptures the nerve-wracking experience of resource management in the face of unrelenting adversaries, a hallmark that is cherished by fans of the survival horror genre.



The remake enhances its classic gameplay with stronger mechanics and performance upgrades. Combat feels more fluid and impactful, thanks to new features like the knife parry system, which allows you to fend off even the most daunting enemies. The rebalanced pacing ensures every area feels deliberate, building suspense and rewarding exploration.

Performance-wise, the game runs smoothly, with enhanced animations and improved AI. Ashley is no longer just a character to protect; she’s a smarter and more active companion, which makes gameplay less frustrating and more engaging.

The cinematic presentation breathes new life into the narrative, delivering a darker and more polished story that aligns with modern storytelling standards.


While the visuals are impressive overall, the character graphics design and blood textures feel a bit off compared to the previous remakes, where the blood and characters had a more realistic look.

9/10

A phenomenal remake that brings a survival horror classic into the modern era with style, intensity, and heart.
