Toby Andersen · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full reviewAn unnecessary, but largely effective, remake for one of the finest video games ever created. Resident Evil 4 firmly belongs to the pantheon of great video games, not just within the survival horror genre.
nospam@nintendoworldreport.com (Jordan Rudek) · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full reviewLeon top form. The original Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games of all time – if not my number one. I remember soaking in every detail before its release, with magazines chronicling its troubled development alongside Capcom’s shaky promise of GameCube exclusivity.
Ollie Reynolds · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full reviewResident Evil 4 is barely a remake, and in straying so far from its source material it just feels kind of generic. It could have easily just been called "The Leon Chronicles: Las Plagas" or something. Yes, it's impressive that it runs as well as it does on iOS, and, yes, it's cool to see major releases like this come to the platform, but as a re-release of one of the most influential games of the millenium, it pretty much fails.
Campbell Bird · Feb 14, 2024 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewResident Evil 4 Remake is an absolute delight. Veterans of the original will love the changes and newcomers can now appreciate just how good this game actually is. Capcom continues the trend of keeping the series fresh in our minds.

Best Game Ever 😍💯💯💯💯💯 as a resident evil fan the remake 4 is the best
Reviewed on iOSGood game
Reviewed on iOSI'm a huge fan of the Resident Evil games and CAPCOM did a great job remaking this classic. I remember playing this game 10 years ago on my crappy Laptop and getting frustrated with its clunky controls. I did manage to finish it, and it was one of my favorite horror experiences ever. Fast forward to 2023, and here we are again. I've enjoyed my time with Leon and Ashley as they escape from this cultic freakshow. The refined controls are second only to its brilliant visuals all thanks to their beloved RE Engine. I still haven't completely unlocked the Trophies, but I'm working my way on Professional Difficulty. Pray for me. What's next for RE4 Remake? The Ada Wong expansion, probably. And please, CAPCOM, make Code Veronica a thing,
Reviewed on PS5Resident Evil 4 Remake is a stunning remake that has set the bar high for remakes in the future. The visuals are breathtaking, with exceptional artistry and technical merit that showcase the game's intricate details in full HD. The sound design is also impeccable, with the music, sound effects, and voice acting bringing the game's atmosphere to life. The game's mechanics are a testament to its greatness. The controls and interface are accessible, making it easy to get into the game, and the feedback is top-notch. The variety of weapons and the fun gameplay make it hard to put down. The story and narrative are also top-notch, as expected from a Resident Evil game. The addition of new dialogue and cutscenes for the remake makes the story even more engaging. What sets Resident Evil 4 Remake apart from other remakes is the way it handled the characters. Leon, Ada, and Ashley have all been given much more depth, making them feel like real people rather than just game characters. The voice acting and animations for each character are superb, adding to the game's overall immersion. The boss fights are also a highlight, with each boss battle feeling like a unique experience. Overall, Resident Evil 4 Remake is a must-play game for any fan of the series or action games in general. Its high-quality artistry, technical merit, sound design, mechanics, and character development make it one of the best games of the year and a strong contender for Game of the Year in 2023.
Reviewed on PS5A must play for Resident Evil fans, and reinvents one of the greatest games of its generation into 1 of the greatest games for the modern gen. The success of the RE remakes, both critically and commercially, means that more will be on the way. Code Veronica should be next, as it's the rightful RE3 and was amazing when it was originally released. The fact that it doesn't have a huge following isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many fans who never got to experience a game buried on Dreamcast and it's 10 game catalogue will be able to finally get a chance with the amazing RE Engine that's been on fire lately.
