The best parts of the remakes combined with the already amazing classic that is RE4. This is one of the best games of all time.

I'm glad there are plenty of good reviews for this game, because all the bad reviews seem to be missing the point.

Almost every negative review I've read says something to the effect of "the combat is bad because the controls are clunky." Going into this game, it is important for you to realize this is intentional. They decided to make attacking difficult to discourage combat. The game is meant to make you feel disadvantaged and weak, just like pretty much every horror game ever made. There is not a single place in the game where I felt combat was necessary; hiding and sneaking was always an option. That being said, once I got a hang of attacking, combat became relatively easy and straight forward. Almost comically easy.

Luckily, combat is not the focus of this game. The atmosphere is on point and the plot you uncover along the way is compelling. On top of that, the puzzles are both intuitive and clever. There were many times playing where I thought, "I've never seen THAT before," which is especially interesting considering the games age. I've played many horror games and many puzzle games, this is an amazing example of both. It isn't the best game ever made, but worth the money and the time.

Enjoy!

This might be the best game I've played in the past 5 or 10 years. It's like Left 4 Dead meets Minecraft with just the right amount of Borderlands for flavor. I love it and look forward to seeing it grow and get even better with age.
