Still, I absolutely adore this game. Almost everything new felt fresh and good without straying too far from familiarity. Both games have unique identities and almost need to be treated as such. The remake doesn’t try to replace the original and its perfected level design, but instead, it offers players more freedom and spectacle. I would say almost any other game this good would surpass the original but Resident Evil 4 isn’t just any game. But in overall quality, Resident Evil 4 Remake could still be considered the best remake of all time and it certainly makes as a strong...

One of the most important games in the industry returns once again. The Resident Evil 4 remake takes us back to old garbage, but does it in such a fresh and fantastic way that no one should blame it.

“Resident Evil 4 finally gets the remake it deserves: a total reimagining that's every bit as bold and unpredictable as the original.”

Back in 2008, Capcom gave us a game that redefined the survival horror genre. Who knew it could continue to refine itself nearly two decades later.

The original Resident Evil 4 didn’t just completely subvert the series’ survival horror roots; it laid the foundations for all over-the-shoulder third person action games that followed. It’s an all-time classic. Capcom also went on to port it to every conceivable platform, so we’ve had no trouble revisiting it over the years. With creative variety and pacing that puts most modern blockbusters to shame, it still holds up brilliantly.

Capcom raises the bar for what a good remake is and simultaneously preserves Resident Evil 4's legacy as a genre-defining experience and one of the greatest games of all time.

Resident Evil 4 is not only better than the original game, but it's simply the best Resident Evil game out there.

Survival is just the beginning. 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. Reviewed on PlayStation 5.

Resident Evil 4 is a masterfully streamlined reimagining of Leon and Ashley's 18 years of the original adventure. It smartly evolves several aspects of that game to make it more exciting to the modern audience. By doing all this, it once again cements itself as the greatest action horror game of all time.

Resident Evil 4 is a fantastic game no matter what you play it on, but the jump to VR has a few issues. The controls feel good in a vacuum, but certain options will make the game exponentially harder. If you’re someone who doesn’t get sick in VR, this is one of the best titles on the platform. If you do get sick, however, stick with the 2D versions.

Resident Evil 4 is one of the best video games of all time, and if you’ve somehow managed to avoid it all these years, the Switch edition is a decent, convenient way to catch up – but the fact that the Wii Edition still has a legitimate claim as the 'definitive' version proves irksome. Handheld mode is the biggest draw here and that’s not only where the game’s ageing visuals work best, but also where its control scheme makes the most sense. The lack of optional gyro aiming is disappointing and high definition arguably works against it in many ways...

So, to summarise Resident Evil 4 on the Xbox One: the controls are as awkward as ever, the camera is still pretty dire, and the graphics are a marginal improvement over the previous generations’ port job. But, it doesn’t matter. This is Resident Evil 4 on yet another format which means those who love it can love it once again and those who have never sampled it before can now do so on their fancy new console. Yeah, it’s disappointing that it hasn’t been given any special love or bells and whistles to make this re-release more of an interesting...

Experiencing Resident 4 HD, everything is as it ever was. The visual upgrade is well received, and the game’s narrative is as terrifying and enticing as ever. Capcom have played this one safe, as it would have been nice to see them try and mix things up with a new inventory system. Even if it wasn’t implemented into the default set-up, the option could have provide many players with an answer to minor frustrations. Despite this, there’s plenty of hours to be had with this one. If you di...
