Resident Evil 4 is a good game, but not a good Resident Evil game. (lemmy.ml)

I played Resident Evil when I was a child on the starting on the PS1 with Resident Evil 3. I fell in love with this series and played all the games.

I remember playing this game back on GameCube and not liking it so much. I mean, it wasn't a bad game. But it did not feel like Resident Evil to me.

Recently, I played 7 and 8 which where really good. They feel different than Resident Evil, but they were scary and I enjoyed these games a lot. Still not as good as the classics or the RE2 and RE3 remake.

So what is it about Resident Evil 4? Well, it feels like an action game and less a survivor horror game. It was a linear experience of just moving forward. It lost the metroidvania part of RE for the most part.

I know this game is loved by many and I can understand why it is loved. It is a genuinely good game. It just should not be a Resident Evil game.

After Résident Evil Zero and the first remake on GameCube it started being another kind of games. Resident Evil 4 lost me even if I finished it just to really try it..

I found myself having trouble finishing 4. It just took such a turn once you get to the castle.

It really became a shooter game more than anything else.

The bosses were too easy because handgun ammo was so abundant so I could just save my shotgun and magnum for the boss fights.
