Experience the horror-survival genre at its finest with Resident Evil 4. As agent Leon S. Kennedy, you will be on a mission to save the President's daughter from a mysterious cult in a secluded European village. The modernized gameplay, updated graphics, and reimagined storyline add new life to this classic game. With terrifying locals to fight, it's a world where life and death, terror and catharsis intersect. Get the Deluxe Edition, and you get extra DLC packs, making the experience even more immersive.


What we like:
  • Satisfying gunplay
  • Thorough exploration with a lot of treasures and challenges
  • Reimagined segments with expanded areas
  • Improved handling of companion character Ashley
  • All-time action great with a balance of tension and cheesiness
What could be improved:
  • Controls may feel heavy
  • Dodging system can be frustrating
  • Over-explaining story elements detracts from the horror
  • Time limits for ranking rewards can be difficult to achieve without rushing through the game
