There's a reason this game has influenced Dead Space and many other third person over the shoulder games that came after. DO NOT ever skip this just because of the remake, some things the Remake did better, some of it this version does. (For both story, characterization and enemy encounters) Unlike the RE1 Remake where most would consider the remake to be the definitive version, I still recommend playing this first before the remake just to see what are the differences between the two. The game comes packaged with Separate Ways, Assignment Ada (That the remake doesn't have) and Mercenaries. Do download RE4_tweaks on github to fix the mouse aiming as well for a smoother experience. 100%ing the achievements are pretty easy: - Play the game entirely - Complete all Merchant Gun range stages and collect all bottle caps - Play Separate Ways to unlock the 2nd set of costumes for the all costumes achievement - Do a 2nd fresh run on Professional difficulty (I consider this harder than the Remake personally)

Lightning in a bottle Two of the most important elements of a good game are Engaging Core Gameplay Mechanics and its Replayability Value , RE4 exceeded these conditions in leagues above any other games. During the period when the Resident Evil series was going through an identity crisis, longtime collaborator Hideki Kamiya was assigned to give resident evil a fresh new start but his vision strayed far away from the classic Resident Evil formula, ultimately Shinji Mikami (Creator of Resident Evil franchise) stepped in and made a game that revolutionised the third-person shooter genre forever. The combination of Tank controls with the new Over-The-Shoulder camera made for a refreshing take in the horror-action genre unlike anything that ever came before. Taking the freedom of movement away from the player is never a good move but in a horror game it works on the contrary. It adds another layer of tension and uncertainty for the player to keep in mind while trying to survive an already hostile environment. For someone who's accustomed to modern triple AAA shooters, this took some time to getting adjusted to, but with the laser-point accuracy of your shots and the super-responsive controls in accordance with your actions led to a very satisfying gun combat experience. The story has its usual Resident Evil charm to it - Memorable boss fights, Unique locations and Amazing Action Set-Pieces spaced out well enough to keep you engaged and also keeping the story well-paced complimented with Leon's unapologetic charisma and confidence with his one-Liners as a cherry-on-top over everything. Combine everything I said above together and you will have a game that will provide a unique challenge but will also the provide you the tools to overcome that said challenge, making you want to revisit everytime for some more. Truely a Lightning in a Bottle experience. FUN FACT : Resident evil 4 went through 4 iterations before settling down on the final product that we see today. The very first iteration under Hideki Kamiya was so far devoid of the Resident Evil formula that CapCom gave him the permission to turn it into his own game which eventually became the "Devil May Cry" series and the 2nd iteration was turned into its own game "Haunting Grounds" , a very underrated survival horror game.
