One of the best Resident Evil games
Resident Evil 4 is a premium action game from Capcom. It’s the fourth installment of the mainline Resident Evil series, preceded by Resident Evil Zero and succeeded by Resident Evil 5. In this entry, special agent Leon S. Kennedy is tasked to rescue the U.S. President’s daughter, Ashley Graham, from her kidnappers.
The Resident Evil franchise, also known as Biohazard, is a series of zombie-themed video games that center on biological weapons and viral incidents that cause various catastrophes, most especially zombie outbreaks. This remake of the classic is a single-player, third-person shooter.
Rescue the president’s daughter
Resident Evil 4’s story starts with the abduction of Ashley, U.S. President Graham’s beloved daughter. Raccoon City survivor and special agent Leon S. Kennedy is tasked to rescue Ashley and his search leads him to a remote mountainous region in Spain. He is confronted by mind-controlled villagers, a slew of mutated creatures, and a parasite-worshiping cult called the Los Illuminados.
This installment is considered by many as among the best, if not the best, in the Resident Evil franchise. Its story is simple yet manages to keep players motivated to keep pushing through the campaign. The gameplay is excellent — successfully blending action, survival, and horror elements to create a challenging and terrifying experience that both veterans and first-timers will enjoy.
However, despite all the feats of this game, it’s old, and it hasn’t aged well in particular areas. Some sections of the game, particularly QTE events are too janky, feeling tedious and unnecessary. Meanwhile, improvements such as revamped graphics, new characters, and modernized gameplay elements such as crafting items and ammunition from resources were added to this newer iteration of the old classic.
Should you play it?
Resident Evil 4 is no doubt one of the best games in the franchise and arguably among the best action-horror games in history. The straightforward story and thrilling gameplay are enough reasons for any gamer to try it. It’s challenging but it’s a challenge worth taking on. If you need more reason, it’s the perfect game to play before diving into other titles in the series.
