Resident Evil 4 Remake

"Over here, stranger."

This remake is a masterpiece! From the suspensful scary beginning to the action-packed craziness in the end. Definitely a GOTY in my book.

To start things of, I like this remake the most of the 3. I'm a huge fan of the more action-like approach. I wasn't very keen on all the puzzles and backtracking in RE2R and RE3R was just a bit short for my taste - but that's just a fact.

I haven't played the original RE4, so I'm gonna talk about the remake as a completely new game (to me).


- Story -
Six years have passed since the biological disaster in Raccoon City. Leon S. Kennedy, one of the survivors, tracks the president's kidnapped daughter to a secluded European village, where there is something terribly wrong with the locals...

The story is very well paced. Your placed in Leon's shoes as you uncover the truth about what this strange place you're currently on is and what happened here... And of course there's Ashley.


- Characters -

"Where's everyone going? Bingo?"

All characters are very well written. They feel human, showing their emotions - telling jokes, acting frightened, having sincere dialogues between each other. And of course they are many great and badass one-liners!
Ashley and Luis went through a great upgrade from what I've seen from the original. To all those Ada haters, just get over it. Her voice is completely fine.


- Gameplay -

"Gun rhymes with fun for a reason, stranger!"

The gameplay is once again more action packed just like RE3R. Well except there's no slowmotion this time around. Gun play feels good and the best of all is the balance of every single weapon. Capcom managed to hit the nail right on the head. It just feels so good to switch the weapons around and really have fun with them... Yes even the TMP. Even though I'm personally a sucker for the Red9. The only inconvenience I can think of is there is no dodge button, but I get that the game would be too easy with a parry button AND a dodge button. It's just that it sometimes feels weird that running away from enemies is the only "dodge" movement you can do.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is truly one of the best games I've ever played.





Separate Ways

I LOVED playing through this DLC. The way it ties parts of the main story together is just amazing. I already did multiple playthroughs as I really enjoy it. Another great thing about this exceptional remake!





Conclusion

I can't recommend you enough getting these two games. As I said above, they are truly a masterpiece!
