![]() ![]() This remake improves these systems and adds new features that weren’t in the original release. The gameplay of the 2005 Resident Evil 4 departed from the survival horror elements of the earlier games and focused more on action and combat. I can’t speak for every PC player out there, but my experience was free of any technical problems, aside from the minor and only occasional traversal stutter. Overall, the game ran very well with no bugs or crashes. I normally keep a list of issues while I play a game for review purposes, but by the time I reached the end of this remake, my list was empty. The score maintains the tension in the quiet sections as well as keeps the intensity in each action set piece. The music is fitting and drives every scenario. I’m no expert in voice lines, but I did not find her lines to be an issue at all. I’ve seen numerous complaints about the voice actress for Ada Wong. The sound design complements the animations well. The audio is heavy and impactful and adds a lot of weight to both the movement and combat. The voice acting, lip-syncing and cutscenes are done very well and keep the experience enjoyable all the way through. As a result, I think the overall look and darker theme make for a better experience. Capcom has made some creative improvements in aesthetics and layouts. Visually, the game looks great and feels more like a re-imagination of the original game. This story stands on its own and is not a continuation or directly connected to previous events. Leon remains a badass and still has funny quips now and then, but overall, the experience is a more serious and darker affair than what I remember from the original. I also want to add that it’s entirely possible to jump into the game without having played any of the previous titles in the series. Needless to say, things are far more nefarious than initially anticipated. As usual, I won’t talk too deeply about the story since I don’t want to spoil anything for those of you who haven’t already played the game. You play as Leon Kennedy, who has been tasked with rescuing the president’s kidnapped daughter, Ashley, from a bizarre cult. Cutscenes and locations often mirror the 2005 game, but there are several improvements. However, with Resident Evil 4 Remake, Capcom has stayed extremely faithful to the original game in almost every respect. ![]() The remake is a much darker and more serious affair. It would be remiss of me to try and go into detail between the two versions. ![]() I will make a few comparisons to the original, but aside from the nostalgia and general memory of the original being a good game, I don’t recall the minutiae very clearly. I deliberated how to approach this review and decided to focus on how this remake stands on its own merits. Even though I played through RE4 a few times back then, it’s been around 18 years since I’ve touched it. I played the first games years ago on my PS1 and Resident Evil 4 on my PC when it was released in 2007. I’ve always enjoyed the Resident Evil series. ![]()
