I cannot stop playing this game, day and night I have this game open doing all sorts of stuff. I loved the original and played it a ♥♥♥♥ ton back then but this holy hell capcom went all out
Gameplay: 10/10 it’s so fun using the parry mechanic against enemies followed by the iconic roundhouse kick. Since it’s new gen the controls are WAY better than the original to the point I’d play this and never get tired of it. The same weapons from the original like the TMP, red 9, broken butterfly, striker etc. all make their return and you can upgrade them with the money you loot along with some new weapons
Story: 10/10, obviously they made some changes to make the story make more sense but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is the pacing fire and they actually gave characters like Luis and Ashley more depth, also making us learn more about luis’ backstory with saddler and having more screentime where he would join leon in battle compared to the original where he would just stay mysterious/ disappear and Ashley making us absolutely adore her with the way she interacts with us throughout the story. She also does stuff to contribute to progressing in the game compared to the original Ashley where would get in the way and be annoying asf, she’s useful for once.
Boss: 10/10 Some bosses were cut out however it was necessary cuz the original had a boss after boss after boss after boss(smh) but iconic ones like Del lago, el gigante, verdugo etc. are all here and playout the same way as the original but just more modern and they’re really not playing around, even the regular villagers are crazy doing combos by shoving or punching you into another villager that attacks you
Graphics: 10/10 this game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gorgeous, the environment and just everything is chefs kiss to the point it feels like you’re watching a movie, cutscenes and everything feels so cinematic and just clean
Side quests: 10/10 the goat our merchant makes a return and he’s making us do quests so we can trade for other items, so you won’t just be going around collecting treasure you’ll also be hunting and completing side missions to earn even more money and upgrades
the original is my favorite but this remake took the spot, definitely buy this game it’s so worth the wait and money, the nostalgia from both playing the original game and hearing all those rumors 3 years ago about an re4 remake hit so damn hard, we’re finally here. W game W devs
