Resident Evil 4 Remake

Storyline really sways my final score. Also, I am a big believer of giving games their due especially if I invested time in them. Whilst I did find parts of it boring and the overall jank level to be high with camera and movement, I did get used to it. Last few chapters were super long especially w/ regen enemies that pissed me off to no end.

However, story had redemption, the ending fights were some of the best ones and challenging. And that swayed the score.
 
Game is not mysterious, not scary and it lacks the vibe of 2 and 3 .

RE4 was when the whole franchise took a huge detour away from the vibe of the first few games in the series. It became more action oriented compared to the survival/horror it started off as, and it stayed that way until RE7 where it pivoted back to more of a horror game. I think the janky tank controls also became less cumbersome, but ideal in 4 yet.
 
Hot take, none of the OG resident evil games were scary, and the vibe already changed with RE 2.

The RE 1 remake on the GC is what people have somehow imagined that the OG trilogy was like.
 
Yes the only thing ever scary about RE games were the controls. The real scary ones were Silent Hill games.
