"It’s hard to really sell just how perfect Resident Evil 4’s remake is. You’d think after countless re-releases and ports that Capcom wouldn’t have the energy for this anymore,...

the game was overall an amazing recreation of the original with only certain things either seeming out of place or weird like attache cache quick swapping not being a thing anymore accidentally making some areas way harder than they used to be but on the other hand some areas felt easier than the original so i guess it evens out pretty well

Great for newcomers to the series, and very much does the original justice

Even as a newcomer to the RE series, 4 has been an absolute blast to play. It's a bit more accommodating for people used to action games than 2 and 3's remakes, with faster paced combat and weapons; though ammo and inventory management are still very important. More on inventory management, 4 has the most fun method I've ever seen in a game, allowing you to manually place and sort all your items if you'd like. Or just press a key to have it sorted for optimal space, if it's too stressful. While the original still holds well gameplay-wise in my opinion, the story changes in this remake have definitely been for the better; with more likable character writing and tweaked plotpoints. There's a lot of replayability, whether it's going for better times, grabbing all collectibles or going for achievement challenge runs... that, and it's a great loop that's just fun to do again. (Fret not, they're not ubisoft collectibles... they're appropriately spread out and sellable to the merchant) I can't say much performance-wise, I cap to 30fps; but I had no stuttering or frame drops, and other reviews seem to say it's fairly well optimized. This is only one of two games that I don't regret paying full price for, it's definitely worth it. 9.5/10 leon in chains got me feeling a certain way

Basically a recreation of the best game ever made, but now you can parry basically every attack and suplex more enemies than in the original. Really can't go wrong with this if you like the horror - action genre even if you're not familiar with the original or have only become a fan of the series recently.
