Capcom has really been pushing out Resident Evil titles these past few years.

Resident Evil 4

Going back to 2017 with the release of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and continuing on to drop: the Resident Evil 2 (remake), Resident Evil 3 (remake), as well as Resident Evil 8: Village. It's worth noting that while some of these games are looked on more fondly than others, all of them have been well-received by the gaming community and Resident Evil fans. This barrage of games is Capcom's reaction to the failure of Resident Evil 6 (2012), and a need to return to the franchise's horror roots.

The original Resident Evil 4 from 2005, is considered by most to be the best game in the series. With the creation of a remake, I was curious to see if the new rendition would be able to rise to the high bar set by its progenitor. Thankfully, I am happy to report it does. The new Resident Evil 4 easily claims the title of a masterpiece.

For those unfamiliar with the story of the original game, let's do a quick recap. Players take on the role of Leon S. Kennedy (voiced by Nick Apostolides), formerly a member of the Racoon City police department, now a special agent working for the U.S. President. Six years separate Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Leon from him escaping the harrowing events of Resident Evil 2. This time he's been tasked with locating and retrieving the president's daughter, Ashley Graham, after an unknown group manages to abduct her. The investigation leads Leon to a secluded village in the mountains of Spain, this is where the story begins. While I cannot go into detail about the changes Capcom has made regarding how the narrative unfolds in the remake, I can tell you that the underlying premise remains faithful to what longtime fans know. That being said, I was a little sad to discover that the Ada Wong campaign, known as "Separate Ways", is not currently included. It is possible this may be added at a later date as DLC.
