The remake of Resident Evil 3 had me a little concerned that Capcom might have rushed their attempt on doing the same for RE4. I sometimes hate being wrong but this is not such an occasion. This is an absolutely massive undertaking that oozes quality all the way through. The visuals are great especially with how the play around with the sky lighting for different times of day, the music is super inspired, with a lot of weird decisions for instrumentation that somehow winds up working, and a lot of the story beats that have been tweaked or added were actually in solid service of the story, especially when looking at the chemistry between Leon and characters like Ashley and Luis. Nothing felt phoned in, and the side quest system I heard a lot about prior to it's release was a lot less lame than I anticipated (actually kind of cool!) A rare case of a game where I can't really point out the bad in it.
