STEAM AWARDA BEBS

Died faster than F:13 ....

Gameplay & Mechanics
Resident Evil 4 is undoubtedly much better overall compared to its predecessor, Resident Evil 3, primarily because it is so different from the past two chapters. The setting changes significantly, and the playthrough generally takes more time.

One notable addition is the wandering trader mechanic, borrowed from Resident Evil Village, where you can buy guns and ammo. However, it feels much more controllable here, as you know exactly how much money you need to buy a weapon or ammunition. This stands in contrast to RE:2 and RE:3, where the only way to acquire ammo was by finding it.

I find this new system a necessarily good change, as it slightly shifts the gameplay by giving you a reason to check every corner in hopes of finding rarer gems to sell, using the money to acquire needed items.

Graphics & Atmosphere
Graphically, the game has improved slightly, with new lighting that’s most evident in indoor locations, such as the church at the beginning. The atmosphere remains immersive and tense, capturing the horror elements well.

Story & Characters
While RE:4 excels in many areas, I believe its storyline is less interesting and has less character variety, especially when compared to RE:2.

RE:2 not only featured the frequent presence of special agent Ada Wong (who also appears in RE:4), but it also introduced many side characters with their own backstories, especially if you took time to read the notes scattered around the Raccoon City Police Station.

In RE:4, the island you explore almost acts as a character itself. By reading notes, you uncover its history and the stories of its people. This location plays a larger role than the settings in RE:2 and RE:3, where environments changed slightly more often.

Leon’s Characterization
One major downside for me is how Leon’s character evolved. Only six years after the Raccoon City incident, he became much less ambiguous and is now portrayed almost as a cold-blooded zombie killer, with cool looks and a lack of empathy even in tragic situations. His reactions tend to be colder, as if he fears nothing.

Of course, this could be explained by how his view on life and death changed after Raccoon City, but it still makes him less relatable and more annoyingly stoic.

Replayability & Length
Overall, RE:4 is a great game for what it offers, even if the playthrough takes less than 30 hours. If you’re not the type to replay games or hunt for new content over time (as you might in The Witcher 3 or other open-world titles), you might be disappointed by how quickly it finishes.

Personally, I don’t enjoy playing a second run, but if you love zombie games and have already finished RE:2 and RE:3, you should still buy RE:4, as it’s one of the more unique chapters and allows you to continue following the canon story of Leon S. Kennedy.

Final Rating
Based on your impressions, I would rate Resident Evil 4 (Remake):

🎮 8/10
It’s a strong, engaging experience with innovative mechanics and a haunting atmosphere, but slightly held back by a less interesting story and Leon’s colder personality shift.

Alright, for now, this is the best chapter compared to all the previous ones. The guy who decided to use the lookout and park as the main location is a genius. No, really, it's not often that developers understand what kind of setting to choose. This game has voice acting and some funny activities, such as checking the surroundings with binoculars and figuring out who is spying on you. Throughout the game, you work as a fire lookout guy who's just been transferred to a new area, which only increases the atmosphere. As a real-life person, you also don't know where you are, and that allows you to interact with the character's feelings more. The idea that you don't get to know much about the antagonist in the game—nor understand anyone's motives—sucks. The only chapter where it was somewhat explained was Carlson's house, but that chapter was very boring overall and the motive was very boring and not deep.

I will give it a 7.5/10, and if you consider the price, the developers should probably increase the playthrough time, as it feels like you should play for at least two hours just to avoid getting a refund on Steam (no offense, but if you've finished the game, why not?). There's also a new chapter that was released in September 2024. I'll try the new one soon, though I've heard it's not as good as this one. Anyway, thanks for reading my review! Comment if you want to add ideas or argue with me.

This is the second chapter of this franchise, and it's much better. It has a better atmosphere, and during the game, we, as the character, get into some unpleasant situations that anyone could find themselves in. The plot itself is not as boring as the first game, but again, I don't get to know the characters enough (as most of them just appear as strangers, and we don't get the opportunity to know them better). The developers didn’t provide voice acting in the game, so throughout the game, you have to read, which sucks because if the characters were at least able to speak, the feeling of being in real life would have been enhanced. The final grade is a little bit above average: 5.9/10.

Very similar to the original chapter, you now have the opportunity to go outside and buy food instead of cooking it at home. I know I should probably talk about whether it's scary or not, but NO, it's not. I play these games for the atmosphere and to understand the kind of stories the developers want to tell, but once again, the story is boring. There’s only one story detail that adds some variety: you get one piece of important and interesting information about a character by reading it in a browser. It’s not optional; you’ll read it anyway, but the whole plot remains very dull. While the developers managed to add some variety, such as going outside and getting to know the characters (although only one is interesting), even that character doesn't physically appear in the game. So, my final grade is 4/10.

I don't want to give it a negative review as it's free, but compared to all other chapters, this is very bad in terms of keeping the player engaged. It has a lot of real-life tasks such as cooking and opening the house, which in one case is very atmospheric, as it makes you feel like it's not a game. However, at the same time, the gameplay is really bad; it's boring. The story itself doesn't have a strong background, and we don't get an understanding of the plot. We're introduced to other characters, but only through text via your phone, which is really disappointing, guys. But it's free...

I know it may be unfair, but the game is very damn boring. No, really, at the start of the game, all I needed to do was just run over to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lighthouse. During this scene, I was listening to the most boring story about how the main narrator created this monster (Which I was fiighting during the run) in his mind so he could use it in his horror/fantasy book. After a lot of runtime and killing a bunch of enemies, I simply appeared on a boat, where I waited for around 20 minutes while talking to some old folk. After all, the gameplay was just so boring, and the characters weren't that interesting. I decided that this ♥♥♥♥ is not my sort of game. No, really, I finished Heavy Rain and almost finished Beyond Two Souls. Both of these games are older, or at least released close to the date Alan Suck was released, and both of these games, even considering that they are old, brought me a ton of emotions, and I had fun due to the variety of endings and atmosphere these games have (even though I haven't finished Beyond Two Souls, which I am planning to).

PERFECT!

Old times...... (Coudn't transfer my account from 2015 I guess... I sold my Ipad 2 years ago with 50+ lvl...) (It's very pay to win but it's free...)
