While optimistic, there was no other way I could describe the leadup to Resident Evil 4's 2023 remake than cautious. Fortunately, that wasn't all that warranted because the game nailed every aspect of it that I could think of. It reworks slower areas of the game, adds new and addictive gameplay mechanics, and modernizes just about everything you could think of.

Out of all the Fromsoft games, this is most definitely the one I feel nails a specific atmosphere and type of gameplay the hardest. Whereas Elden Ring succeeds in its adaptability, Bloodborne succeeds in its execution.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this game, I genuinely cannot stand musuo based gameplay.
