I think if I have 100+ hours logged into your singeplayer action game with a campaign that runs for roughly 8 hours, you are doing something very correct.

RE4make feels like the perfect blend of familiar and different. There's parts of the game that are very deliberately designed to throw off people who know the original down to every byte of code.

Management of your ammo and inventory space is a bigger focus. This coupled with vastly more aggressive enemies makes for some really tense and fun emergent gameplay. It still keeps the top-tier pacing of the original that kept me coming back for more and more playthroughs.

How they handled the story is great too. Again, familiar but different. It's definitely more grounded but they still respect the cheesiness of the OG in spades. Love the glow-up for characters like Luis and especially Ashley.

I love video games.
