It is resplendent, delicious and decadent, like an incredibly rich banquet served amid the detritus of some horrible battle. Wherever you find yourself, whether rose garden or torture dungeon, it is alive with intimate detail, from the sounds of distant screams and chants to the sight of a grisly murder scene or a beautiful vase. This is a wonderful game: a beautiful, tense, camp, gory summation of everything that is so good about Resident Evil. Rest assured, Resi 4 is still a grandiose mix of hostage rescue drama and occult horror story, and those who played the original will get to revisit familiar moments as well as discover fresh twists. On this subject, it would be utterly remiss to give away any story elements because this remains fundamentally a narrative game in which each beat of the script is a puzzle piece that you get to joyfully uncover and play with. But these shopping list deviations – employed for years to add bloat to open world games – are really unnecessary here, blowing the tension and taking you out of character.īesides, Resident Evil has always had its own ways to encourage player curiosity and exploration, which work in tandem with narrative not against it.

The one modern addition I’m not so sure about is the inclusion of little sub-tasks: a series of fetch quests that have you killing rats and shooting at hidden targets to earn spinels which can be used to purchase exclusive items from the trader. It contains the game design knowledge of the whole series, from the awkward shuffling tension of the first game through to the engrossing (and often just gross), first-person horror of Resident Evil 7. Honestly, the subliminal environmental signposts in this game are some of the best I’ve ever encountered – this is an experience that somehow feels tight and controlled yet also at times unscripted and emergent. Later come more opulent settings, gothic buildings, the walls lined with Renaissance paintings, the dining tables impeccably laid, each room housing a neat puzzle or a fresh enemy monster.Īt times there are slightly open, hub-like areas where you’re given a teeny bit of freedom to explore, but the leash is always tight and you are never bored or lost. The canyon area is a vast maze of wooden walkways, the wood weak and old enough to give way at any moment dropping you into the maw of another desperate standoff. You explore a farm where emaciated animals wander about then drop dead from hunger, and where every shack has some snarling villager waiting to stab you through the side.

I love the way the major boss battles are foreshadowed, and how the world teaches you how to look for important rooms or crucial loot hoards. The locations where big fights take place are expertly designed, always featuring places to run to and catch your breath for a second, so you learn to read the spaces as well as enemy attack patterns. It’s the perfect melding of old and new Resi, of reminiscence and raw challenge. As you go, you collect cash to buy new weapons from the famed Merchant character (who has some real treasures in his collection), but it’s still a horror experience: there are jump scares there are tense moments where the camera occludes hidden enemies lurking in the darkness. The combat is expressive, tactical and tough, utilising a stripped down melee system that allows for crucial ammo hoarding, while still making your character feel powerful. We’re there in his boots as he blasts at enemies wielding pitchforks and chainsaws. The new Resi 4 brings the camera out a little further again, but we’re still very much with Kennedy as he traipses through the muck of festering farmlands and down the corridors of gothic castles. Gone too were the zombies, in favour of torch-wielding yokels and towering cult leaders, giving it the uncanny feel of folkloric horror, of The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General. Designer Shinji Mikami switched to an over-shoulder view, drawing the player into the protagonist’s perspective and making the shootouts much more immersive. Gone were the awkward expressionist camera angles and roving third-person perspective gone too was the peculiarly staccato and unintuitive combat of the first three titles. Veterans won’t need to be told that Resi 4 represented a new phase in the series when it arrived on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005. A complete reimagining … Resident Evil 4 Remake.
