Resident Evil 4
In Resident Evil 4, special agent Leon S. Kennedy is sent on a mission to rescue the U.S. President’s daughter who has been kidnapped. Finding his way to a rural village in Europe, he faces new threats that are a departure from the traditional lumbering zombie enemies of the earlier instalments in the series. Leon battles horrific new creatures infested by a new threat called Las Plagas and faces off against an aggressive group of enemies including mind-controlled villagers that are tied to Los Illuminados, the mysterious cult which is behind the abduction.

Resident Evil 4 Review
There isn’t much to be said about Resident Evil 4 that hasn’t already been beaten into the ground. All these years later it is still one of the most lovingly detailed, polished, and meticulously put together games of all time. Easily Mikami’s best work and undeniably the game that shifted the paradigm of horror games for years following its release (for better or worse). What is lacking in horror is made up for in tense encounters that encourage quick take downs and efficient use of supplies.
The story is pure ham – even by Resident Evil standards. The series may be known for jumping the shark, but Resident Evil 4 takes it to new lengths. A Napoleonic little person, bizarre cults, a giant automaton, and cringe worthy one-liners are just part of what awaits the player. It is all good fun, however, and the game seems as if would be far less without its off kilter humor as well as personality.
Resident Evil 4 itself is a lengthy game, the main story alone shames most anything that comes to mind in terms of variety and content. In addition two scenarios featuring series regular, Ada, as well as the much loved Mercenaries mode round out the offerings, if that was not enough the game offers a slew of unlockables. Even at full price the value proposition is excellent.
The PC version itself feels a bit perfunctory. That said it runs at just any resolution one would expect at a rock solid 60 FPS. In addition the game supports the Xbox 360/One controller without issue. This version of the game is easily a far cry from the original PC port. This reviewer personally experienced no issues with the game. A must have for any fan of the genre or even third person action games in general. Highly recommended.
