ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As a long-time fan who has eagerly awaited this remake since 2005, I was thrilled to dive back into the creepy world of Resident Evil 4. This re-imagining of a classic survival horror game retains the brilliant level design and tense action that made the original so iconic while expanding the experience into 16 nail-biting chapters.

Let‘s analyze the key components of RE4‘s remake:
