So i need to say that i really love Resident Evil 4 Remake. It was still a great game in 2005 and even more with that game. You can see below the Pros and the cons:
Pros:
-the graphics ( still have the visual identity of the orginal game with more details, more things to look at and better modelisation of the characters and the landscapes)
-The Ambience: the sound design, the monsters, the landscapes, the different locations.
-the infiltration style (dont expect a game like Hitman or MGS but its still great to have the options to play agressive or more subtle)
-the new gameplay ( the knife gameplay was a nice add, now we can shoot and move it was not possible on the original game).
-the variety of the monsters ( pretty impressive to see a variety of monsters with an explanation that can make sense with the story)
-the characters: it was nice to know more about Luis Serra, Leon, Rachel, Ada, Krauser, Sadler. They all have some mysteries or plot that engaged us to move on in the story.
-the plot: the story of Saddler, the virus, the ennemies of Leon, the mysteries in the game really engaged us to finish the game and make us want to know more.
-the Merchant: i dont know why but i really like the character and every time i saw the blue light i immediately know that i can rest a little an sell items.
-the weapons: a nice variety, the upgrades let us want to find all the objects to sell and to have etter weapons and that kind of thing can make us more able to explore.
-the Riddles: not really complicate but it add more quiet moments and mre relax feeling between hard times
-its a long game: it depend if you do the side quests, take the time to explore but i finished the game and i spent on it like 23 hours: its really a great score for an action-adventure game.
Cons:
- Sometimes in some areas the ennemies are too much and that can really make us frustrated because of that. And the number of ammo and knife really make us more frustrated even if i need to admit that it add a lot of more tension and make us really care about the surroundings. So its a mixed between Pro and Con.
- the movements of Leon: he is really rigid and it really give old memories with the original game but sometimes with a lot of ennemies or during the boss sequences i had a lot of situations that i died only because i found hard to move Leon. The movements are not geally dynamic but i think it was on purpose because of the original game and they didnt want to delete that feeling i guess.
Overall the game really make me want to know more about Sadler, Ashley an all the characters. I did play the original game a long time ago. And i still had some memories of some scenes or moments. Thats great that they keep the original feeling and with the improve graphics, ambience, sound its really a pure joy to play this game once again. Even if i had some hard times with too much monsters sometimes, difficulty to move Leon but this kind of problems really get forgotten when its time to get into the story, the ambience, the characters. Its still a great game and even better now!
