This is actually my first time playing through Resident Evil 4 on the PC, but I've owned and beaten it on the PS2, PS3, and Xbox One respectively and I can say from experience it's a true gem of a horror game. It is the fourth installment in the resident evil/ biohazard franchise and the second game in the series to feature fan favorite (and mine as well) special agent Leon S. Kennedy as he tries to track down the president's daughter after she was kidnapped by a religious cult who use the las plagas parasite to control the common people and use them as mind controlled slaves. These infected by the parasite will serve as the primary antagonists (along a whole mess of different mutated creatures including a giant fish monster that lives in a lake) for Leon as he attempts to locate and rescue Ashley Graham. I always found Resident Evil 4 to be my personal favorite in the franchise, with dark and beautiful graphics, the best characters in the franchise, plenty of iconic action and puzzle solving moments, and loads of truly spooky/ horrifying stages that will leave you not wanting to play this game in the dark. This is one of those games that is so lengthy, every time you think you've got it beat, you learn you've just started a new area on the island. A must own for fans of horror games and zombie lovers everywhere. And the PC version has the added benefit of being much easier to play than other console versions due to the mouse and the position of the controls. Resident evil 4 is one of my top ten favorite games of all time, and Leon Kennedy is my personal favorite video game character of all time. And after you beat the game, there are other story-lines that you unlock, and special outfits and weapons for Leon that give this game a ton of replay value. 10/10.
