Disagree, but I do think it's an awesome game. It's definitely up there.

Just a few games I like better:

Nioh 2
Elden Ring
RE: Village

Depends entirely on your taste in games. For survival horror fans, it's certainly been a good year though.

To say it's definitively the best game of the 2020s (so far) might be a bit of a stretch though.

Haven't enjoyed a game this much in a long time. Maybe since RE2 remake.

Village is literally Re4 clone tho.

It could reasonably be in my top 10 and someone who's unfamiliar with the original might rate it even higher if it tickles their taste buds. It certainly made me wanna play Village again to compare.

Sure. I like it slightly better, but it's close.

Still, I think in the 2020s, Nioh 2 is my favorite.

That would be Elden Ring, but it's a matter of personal tastes.

Elden Ring is my game of the decade so far.

Nioh 2 is amazing too.
Oh and I forgot Doom Eternal came out this decade, very early 2020, that's a contender too.

okay that's fair, name one game that's better then.
I mean, someone already said Elden Ring. Again, it's entirely up to what people enjoy in games. For someone, game of decade might belong to Doom Eternal, or Half-Life: Alyx, or hell, even Animal Crossing.

Don't get me wrong, I love RE4R, and it's an easy contender for GOTY for me so far, but I don't think I'd call it the definitive best game of the decade thus far.

On my first playthrough I was like 10/10 master piece, however once you play through it a couple of times you will start to notice flaws. Even without spending hours on the game, I highly dislike their DLC model. In the past, it was possible to unlock cool costumes, screen filters just by playing the game. Now you miss out on extra weapons, costumes, etc. if you don't buy additional content or pricey deluxe editions.

tl;dr: play it a few more times and maybe the rose tinted glasses will wear off, it happened for me.

I mean look at the unlocks you get through playing... ten sets of glasses.. a winter hat, a chicken helmet, costumes are standard, standard without a jacket, story costume#3.

Maybe I'm just mad right now, I will definitely give it some more time and collect all my thoughts before I write a final review on the game. Do not get me wrong, I love the franchise and I am generally very happy with Capcom's content of recent years.

I am also very excited for the Mercenaries release. I really liked their take on the mode in RE8. Wonder what they might come up with for RE4. Whether they innovate or stick to the basics. Whatever comes out might tip the scales for my personal score and view of the game as a whole.

That's a tough one mate. We're talking about 2013-2023 or 2020~2030? Elden Ring is clearly in the running but eh that's way too difficult. From the first moment on until now, I still believe that RE4R definitely deserves GOTY nomination if not winning it for this year. Undoubtedly, there is a ton of love that went into making RE4 and I can clearly see and feel it.
I'm not all up to date on what we might end up seeing this year. Diablo 4 will be good but not GOTY status IMO.

For times like these I wish I had a detailed gaming log / journal to really dig into the question for a serious take. The gaming scene is very though because there are thousands of releases per year in all varying genres. However, it is true that only a select few do stand out strongly. What would come to mind for me is the RE series starting with 7 and all the great remakes, Final Fantasy perhaps, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Elden Ring.. You'll get different takes depending on who you ask. And who knows what the future holds. Maybe Capcom will do something just as crazy for their upcoming 30 year RE anniversary in 2026 :cozybrawlhalla1:

Sorry for digging up the thread again after you closure wish, but I just wanted to get this last one off my chest.

Elden Ring is overrated as hell lol. The game's core is good enough i guess but I have no idea why SO many people nominate it everywhere as a very top tier contender. Even the official reviewers all gave it 10/10 score which screams fake.

Its a rolling simulator with weird ass enemies and a story that just feels uninspired. When I saw a giant cauldron, a pot used for cooking soup, come to life and attack me I just rolled my eyes and thought "this is the crappiest thing I have ever seen". Most bosses will kill you in one hit unless you spam into health and you'll end up dying 30 times per boss due to a combination of finding their patterns/their absurd damage output

Either i'm missing something here, or the majority of video gamers became masochists because Elden Ring and Souls games in general do NOT appeal to the everyday person
