Resident Evil 4 Remake was my first game in the Resident Evil franchise, and boy did this ♥♥♥♥ rock my socks off. Not only did this game introduce me to one of my new favorite video game franchises, but it’s also made its way into my top 3 videogames of all time and is my personal GotY for 2023.

• Every weapon on the large list of ballistics is unique, useful and fun to use (aside from the Punisher, ♥♥♥♥ the Punisher). No pistol, shotgun, SMG, Rifle, or Magnum will feel the same, but they’re all useful for certain play styles and situations.
  
  
• Ashley is fine as ♥♥♥♥. Wish I could smash.
  
  
• Upgrading those same weapons feels insanely fun to do. You can feel them get more and more powerful as you slowly upgrade them. It’ll have you doing multiple playthroughs just to get every single weapon upgraded to the max.
  
  
• Ashley is best RE bae.
  
  
• Enemies are expertly designed, and cause the game to never have a dull moment. There’s a ton of enemy variety, and almost every enemy requires a different strategy to take them down. Every now and then mini bosses are thrown into the mix to make you strategize even more. Bosses are amazing as well, with great designs, fun set pieces, and challenging but fun gameplay.
  
  
• Ashley is best videogame babe of all time.
  
  
• The new parrying system introduced to this Remake is perfect for how aggressive enemies can be and the durability system makes it super balanced. Something that’s easy to use, but hard to master.
  
  
• They gave Ashley a gigantic dump truck.
  
  
• This game might hold the best gameplay loop of all time. Pulling out the best weapon for the situation, using it to hit an enemies weak spot, causing them to stun, and then, if the coast is clear, running in to melee the enemy, causing the other enemies to fly back with your kick, is so fun and satisfying. They had to have put some type of drug that gets into your system through your eyeballs in this game cuz I’ve been severely addicted for the past 8 months.
  
  
• They gave Ashley enhanced ballistics.
  
  
• This game also might have the best inventory system of all time. Every item, weapon, and resource has its own size, which takes up part of the space in your attache case. Sometimes you’ll have to reorganize your items or discard them entirely to make space. It adds another layer of strategy to the game.
  
  
• I would do unspeakable things to and for Ashley.
  
  
• The improved treasure system is great too. It makes you think about what gems you’ll be utilizing with what treasures before selling them. Yet another layer of strategy that’s added.
  
  
• I want Ashley to hit me with her car.
  
  
• I’ve played through this game 35+ times and have put in around 400+ hours throughout all the different consoles I own it on. This game never gets old. There’s secret items to unlock by beating specific difficulties within a certain time limit. There’s secret skips to learn within the main game that’ll help you beat the game within that time limit. And even after unlocking and beating everything offered, the game is still so much fun that it’ll have you coming back for more.
  
  
• I've spent precisely 300 of those hours staring at Ashley.
  
  
• For an RE game, the writing here for the story is surprisingly great. Characters have depth and their own arcs. Previous games feel like they had an effect on certain characters, and events within this game hold emotional weight and cause characters to grow.
  
  
• Ashley is the best character of all time.
  
  
• The locations you run around in this game are super interesting, and are some of the best locations in gaming. The Village and Castle are settings in gaming that won’t be forgotten about anytime soon.
  
  
• I want Ashley to spoon feed me baby food.
  
  
• This game easily has the best sound design of all time. Every weapon has its own sound when being fired that echoes throughout the area that sounds amazing and makes the guns feel even better to use, and the sounds that play when a bullet comes into contact with an enemy is super satisfying to hear and is a great indicator that you’ve actually landed your shot.
  
  
• I want Ashley to sneeze into my mouth.
  
  
• This is the best Remake of all time. Gameplay has been improved. Bosses have been improved. Island is now fun. The story has been improved. The characters have been improved. Brand new weapons have been added. Brand new locations have been added. Brand new side missions have been added. The treasure system has been improved. The visuals have improved. The sound design has improved, etc. There is not a single thing that this Remake doesn’t improve on.
  
  
• I wish Ashley was real.
  
  
• The price for this game is amazing. Most games are $70 now, but this masterpiece costs $60, and is much better than most other triple A games that have the $70 price tag.
  
  
• I want Ashley to sit on my face.

• Not enough Ashley

10/10

Edit: Please Capcom for the love of god add the VR DLC to PC so I can hang out with my GF (Ashley Graham) while she's equipped with 'wholesome' mods. Thank you.
