RE:sident Evil 4 RE:make is what some would call a very good video game. I would call it that even. This is one of the very few remakes that has both the good graphic juice and is relatively faithful to the original while staying more modern.

Even though the story is slightly more serious, it is still campy as shit with leon being a little sad but still very cool. Just cuz he has trauma doesn't mean he can't have sweet one liners. He reminds me of how lame Ethan winters truly is. Leon "Sex Appeal" Kennedy makes me wish i were the president's daughter so he could catch me in his big, strong, handsome arms after saying a cool oneliner and suplexing a plagas filled grandma.

While a few areas have been less goofified such as Salazar's bowser castle of traps, the majority of the game maintains the spirit of the original. I do miss the big dumb salazae statue chase though, that taught me that maybe horror games can be a little fun too.

Mechanicaly, the game has updated fairly drastically. I love all of the new editions. The knife mechanics like parrying and stab finishers give me the good feeling brain juice. I feel like the knife improvments enhance the entire game for me. I got to fight krauser for real this time in a sick ass action movie knife fight. Speaking of which they got rid of QTEs which are stupid and bad and I am glad they are gone and replaced with real gameplay despite what some may say. 

I overall like the side characters more in this game. Ashley was less annoying and was not as bad as i thought she would be to protect, Louis is my boy who at least had a cool send off this time, and salazaar is even more of a weird little freak. It took some getting used to but the voice of the shopkeeper grew on me. Speaking of which getting s rank on the shooting range is legit difficult.

Overall this game fuckin rulz and I will likely do several more runs of it whenever I'm in a spooky mood. I rate Presidents Daughter Rescue 4 Remake,

9 hastas out of 10 luegos.
