This game is great and meets today's standards perfectly by playing safe. RE4make follows the profit guaranteed AAA game rules CAPCOM already set out with current gen RE games and diminishing anything that made RE4 a special and distinctive game. These qualities include the silly humor, unforgettable quotes, the impenetrable gameplay mechanics and the grandly eerie vibe that didn't rely on darkness. RE4make plays it too safe for its own sake. I don't care much for the game, as it is JUST bringing the things that worked out for previous games. The atmosphere feels nothing like what I felt in the original, devs messed up this one, sorry. Also I don't get why this game has "stealth mechanics" or crouching or parrying because none of it wasn't needed to beat the chapters. Why am I able to block a chainsaw attack with a f** knife? Why? Oh, and some stuff's location changed for some reason I don't know, it's developers arbitrary choices probably.

RE4 was a bit nutty and fun and remake is sadly, very sane and careful. I am not a big fan of this reinterpretation but yeah, a good game on paper. I just wish it felt more like playing THE RE4.
