FGE - This most recent release of Resident Evil 4 will mark the 4th time I’ve bought this game on a console and the 13th time that I’ve beaten the base game. Resident Evil 4 is not only the best Resident Evil game in my opinion, but is also one of my favourite games of all time and I’d love to tell you why. Resident Evil 4 has a fairly basic story (as RE games often do); you play as Leon, a hardened veteran when it comes to dealing with the undead and insane occult psychopaths, so you are sent off to a mysterious island (inexplicably alone) in order to rescue the president’s daughter. And that’s essentially it. There’s little in the way of significant storytelling but really, when it comes to these titles they don’t need to be incredibly immersive, they just need to be good. I could gush about the mechanics of this game all day but I’ll attempt to restrain myself.
Gaming risks are taken often. Some win and some fail miserably. The ones that fail are lost forever in the void of gaming doom, never to be spoken of again. The ones that win, however, are shouted about from the rooftops and spawn offspring that feed on the initial success.
One such winner was Resident Evil 4, highly acclaimed as the turning point in the survival horror franchise. Notable for switching the series from a puzzle filled horror extravaganza to more of an action packed adventure whilst still holding on to the horror backdrop that the series thrived on. It worked thus becoming arguably one of the greatest survival horror games ever made.
Great Read, however the animated images are really distracting when trying to read. Just a heads up for future reads.
What a stupidity. Xth port of very old game got almost ultimate rating?? Hahaha. Must be paid review by Capcom or written by fanboy.
Is this digital only?
Pretty solid release actually. It's one of the best versions out right now.
I dont have me my copy of this or RE5 anymore... Maybe ill upgrade them 4-6 on the PS4
