There's been multiple attempts to create an RE4 sequel in the forms of a multiplayer RE4 (RE5), a continuation of the story (RE Damnation & Degeneration), and even a full remake, and while all of these are great I view God Hand as the true RE4 sequel as it further builds upon RE4's gameplay and was literally developed by the same team. Leon's melee moveset (minus the knife) return but now expanded with over 150+ moves that are all somehow like really really good and useful. Like how did they fucking do this. Fans of RE4 and killer7 have a lot of fanservice from both games to dig through and as someone who's extremely familiar with both games I appreciated all of it. It has a much higher learning curve than RE4 making it a harder game to recommend to a normal ass guy but if you're looking for more of RE4's style and gameplay it turns out the best place to go is the action game route instead of a route that banks more on the horror aspect.
