The game was worth every penny!!
The best RE game by far.
Well deserved imo. I love both versions of RE4. The best part about the remake for me was that it felt like playing RE4 for the first time again. Enough changes to make it feel fresh but kept the essence of the original.
There are things the original does better and other things that are better in the remake. But as a whole, this game is a masterpiece.
Is that a lot? Compared to other RE remakes?
Keep it going!
Pls give us new of seperate ways dlc!
This was a monumental achievement well done Capcom!
And hopefully the legs continue!
