I don't replay games often but I loved this game so much my first time around so I decided to beat it on hard mode.
Hard mode was tought because I suck at video games, but I don't blame the game for my incompetence. However, in my first review I said something along the lines of "this is a perfect video game from a gameplay perspective". And I still think it's near perfect but some things lost their magic this playthrough. Regenerators went from a really unique section to just plain tedium. Some sections felt so much shorter now that I knew what to do (not in a satisfying way), and overrall I was just a lot more critical of some portions this time around.
Not critical in a hater way but more in a loving constructive criticism (to a billion dollar corporation that will never hear it) way.
I also wish this game had more side content. Like I recently played the Dead Space remake and that game had a few extra side quests that added a bunch more lore and was really fun. I think RE4 could've added some missions like that that weren't just fetch quests and lazy mini-bosses. There wasn't much, but when I was allowed to, I really liked exploring in this game, but I just wish there was a bit more to explore but the game is so linear and it was like... damn ok.
But it's ok it's still a great game

didn't like the original cuz tank controls are annoying.
When I say that people get mad and its kinda reasonable but my least favorite response is "the tank controls are meant to make the game scarier cuz you don't have as much control over your character" yeah that's true but re4 isn't a horror game. It's not scary at all. It's a horror-themed action game but it's not scary whatsoever, so tank controls were just tedious.
Other than that I knew if there weren't any then I would've loved this game so I was extremely excited for the remake.
Guess what?
Yeah it's perfect. I was gonna write a bigger review but I got nothing that people haven't said a million times. It's the most fun I've had playing a game maybe in my entire life. It's so good and I'm def gonna binge the RE franchise after this.
