“Capcom continues to pave the way with its Resident Evil remakes, skillfully remaking a beloved game. Similar to the Resident Evil 2 remake that came before it, the studio focused on capturing the essence of the original and respectfully evoking the same sense of atmosphere and tone that the original developers had aspired to in order to modernize an iconic survival horror and action game. The player is simultaneously given exciting new mechanics to use and faced with obstacles to test their mastery of those mechanics. In that regard, the remake differs from the original in that it offers a fresh perspective on its history. This retains Resident Evil 4’s status as a genre-defining experience and one of the best games ever, while also raising the bar for what a solid remake is.
