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.

“This fixed all the problems I had with the original, when I went to play it in 2018, and stopped in the initial village due to not liking the gameplay. Easily the best and smoothest of the remakes! Incredible game, so…”
“probably the best combat mechanics in a RE game. the environment is really immersive”
“I always heard people talk good about this game and i never expected to become one of them. This is defenitly one of my favorite games ever, just that all about it its good. Love the new mechanics that were improved to…”

“I finally finished Resident Evil 4, and I get why people call it the best Resident Evil game. It's honestly one of my favorite games of all time now. The story, the gameplay, the characters, and the boss fights were all…”
“Incredible game improving on the already 10/10 og re4. Gameplay, characters, story and music are amazing. And don't listen to those slopminded crowbcat bots who cant think for themselves. This game has the same soul and…”

“Resident Evil 4 Remake looks decent but feels soulless. Piece by piece, what made the original special is either removed, toned down, or replaced with something safer. High-fidelity graphics will never be enough to…”
“probably the best combat mechanics in a RE game. the environment is really immersive”
“Is it weird to say 70 hours in that I am not really into this game? Visually beautiful, gameplay feels smooth, pretty characters and there is 0 friction. You don't need to think, no player agency, just enjoy moving…”

“Already played OG Resident Evil 4 in 2009 or 2010, almost more then a decade ago, if i remember correctly, and it is still one of the best Resident Evil Games I have ever played. Now got a chance to play Resident Evil 4…”
“Honestly this game as a remake is nothing short of extremely impressive, having recently played the 2014 HD remaster of the original and then cross comparing it here while enjoying my experience through and through, I…”
“First story-based horror game I've played, and I enjoyed it way more than I expected. Lots of good comedy elements to help balance out the scarier segments of the game. Looks really good and runs really well with lots…”

“An intense and polished horror game with great visuals, strong gameplay, and a gripping atmosphere. Totally worth it.”
“finally i finished the game its really worth it for its price when on sale recommended!!!”
“HUGE thumb up. Plays great. Feels great. Bought with discount, worth the full price. I first thought the nostalgia will overwhelm me and then I will get bored. HUGE NOPE. I already spent 10 hours in game and forgot…”

“♥♥♥♥ was fire 10/10, ada said she only helped leon because she knew i was the one playing but i had to turn her down as jill is my true love, gg's though fantastic game (except for the cabin fight)”
“Prefer this game for mercenaries and OG for campaign. Campaign was hugely downgrade from original removing moments that made the og so good, making ashley more dumb and less control of her movements and making the…”

“Hella good game if you like graphics and environment, but where the game really shines is the action horror elements of blasting zombie hordes and slamming a mini boss into the ground. Gunplay is crispy, a gun for every…”
“incredible game, I can actually run in this game unlike every other horror game in existence. The combat is really fun, the story is pretty nice, especially the part with Leon's old mentor. Ashley should've died because…”
“OG re4 is my favourite RE of all time. If it kept the campiness the original did, this would take the cake. Almost perfect remake of a perfect game.”

“This game runs really well on my pc, just like any other RE games, but the default FOV feels a bit too narrow, it actually made me dizzy, which is weird since I had no issues with the RE2 or RE3 remakes. I had to use…”
“very good game, I was worried that since I don't play shooters often that I would suck, but the assisted mode was very rewarding (aka it wasn't to easy but it was wasn't HARD) The aim assist wasn't very good so I ended…”

“Walk into village. Everyone is staring at you. This is bad. Chainsaw guy appears. This is worse. Try to run. Get surrounded. Panic. Leon parries a chainsaw. Leon roundhouse kicks someone into another person. Leon does a backflip off a wall. This is not a horror game anymore.…”
— a player, Steam review · 79 hrs played“Came for nostalgia, stayed for getting roundhouse kicked emotionally and physically. The villagers are still unhinged, and the merchant is still my favorite shady uncle. 10/10 game 3/10 babysitting experience”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“Resident Evil 4 is the most beloved game in the franchise for a reason. The original from 2005 is truly special and although I would recommend you play that one over this remake, this is a darn good game, and a decent substitute. I can see why they ditched the tank controls from…”
