It's a very faithful remake, which means I have the same issues as I had with the original. It's still great though. RE4 has a vibe to it, and it's very fun to play through. I just hate that the final act is a giant call of duty level (the zombies even have fucking military helmets), how focused on giant bosses it is (the worst part of RE), how Major Krauser still exists and somehow is half of these bosses and how the tiny creepy corridors of past titles were replaced by "zomg look at how many guns there is".

Someone tell Capcom they don't need to add star-based challenges nor pointless sidequests (really? kill 5 rats? this is supposed to be a horror game) to their games anymore. The moment I saw there was a shooting minigame, I pissed my own pants. When I saw that the reward for it was %-based bonus equipment from a gacha system I also shat them. When I saw that the stupid figurine I got from it was labelled "EPIC RARITY" I immediately threw up so hard I popped a blood vessel in my forehead. Please fucking stop . AITA??
