Speaking of upgrades, charms are a new addition.
The Blue Medallions make a return, but thanks to request notes found around the map, you’ll be challenged to fulfil other tasks in order to unlock Spinels.Įxpect to be kept busy and have your shooting skills challenged while chasing those special upgrades. Money, and the iconic Merchant, are still around, further expanded to help you appreciate the world more and backtrack for puzzles and treasures. Yes, those nightmare-inducing sketches of spiders wrapped around an enemy's back, puppeting their actions, are now very real, with spider/scorpion-looking creatures skating across the floor and attaching themselves to zealots. Resident Evil 4 even dips into its own history, exploring enemies that never made it into the original title and giving them new life in the remake. We don’t want to spoil too much, because this initial scene is a real highlight, taking some inspiration from more modern horror titles and polishing the original experience. These rage-filled, hulking mutants can’t see but hear extremely well, which leads to a truly terrifying battle in a tight blood-soaked chamber – taking everything you’d expect and amping it right up. While every group of villagers or religious zealots offer their own tense challenge, perhaps one of the most fear-inducing returns is that of the Garrador.
And if you thought the over-the-top high kicks and power slams might not make a return, they absolutely do and now are even more fun to pull off if you can line them up with knife parries and finishers.Įnemy variety is something Resident Evil 4 does extremely well. With ammo often in short supply in the harder difficulties, we found ourselves relying on our knife to break us out of dangerous situations or finish off some of the more persistent Ganados. You can stealth kill certain enemies, finish them off on the ground after a well-timed kick, and even deflect thrown axes or revving chainsaws. Leon's trusty blade can be repaired if you’ve got the parts, but you’ll also find an assortment of other knives as pick-ups, which aren’t just for breaking boxes or disarming traps.

While no one will argue the quality of Resident Evil 4 as a game, it’s possibly the most interesting entry in the series to try and remake – not just because it still stands up so well today (thanks in part to its fairly recent HD release), but also because it was the entry that breathed new life into the franchise while setting the series down a path that many fans disliked, with its heavy focus on action.Įdgy hair, cool quips and drop kicks galore, it was the most ‘video game’ entry of them all at the time, and eventually lead to Chris punching boulders in a volcano… Of all the entries in Resident Evil's long lineage, many would say that Resident Evil 4 burns brightest in their minds, with memorable moments including the first time blocking doors from the chainsaw-wielding ‘Dr Salvador’, mashing buttons as Leon escaped a boulder Indiana Jones-style or watching Ashley being carried away while battling inside the 'water room', which – let's be honest – tested all of us.
