Gaming History 101

Resident Evil 4 is on that short list of gaming’s most notable titles. Despite being two decades old, somehow it manages to hold peoples’ interest with a positive opinion. The remake was highly anticipated, garnered much praise, and as an unapologetic fan of the franchise, I was there day one. While sticking to the original’s formula, Capcom treated this remake like all the others by improving visuals, tweaking the story, updating scenarios, and a slew of quality of life changes. If you are going to play Resident Evil 4 today, I’d highly recommend the remake. Despite this, I often found myself losing interest interest after about 30 minutes and eventually this 20+ hour gauntlet felt more like a slog, and it’s all my own fault. Having finally completed it, I have to admit the journey as a whole was fulfilling, but I think I’ve had my fill of Resident Evil 4 for the rest of my life.
