Facing my fear with horror games, Resident Evil 4

[Juan]

I don’t like horror movies nor games, not my cup of tea. Because it’s Halloween I wanted to give it a shot to something new and I’ve been tempted to check Resident Evil 4 for the Switch 2.

Game looks hella gorgeous, top 5 best Switch 2 looking games imo. Runs smoothly at 60fps and might drop a bit on busy times but nothing I would be worried about. I know this game was revolutionary back in the day but again, young me didn’t give a damn for this genre although they are fun to play in the movies arcade.

Speaking of arcade the game feels very “arcady”, you got open areas where you shot your zombies (they speak spanish so I can understand them, cool thing), and you can meele attack em’ and feels satisfying. Controls feels amazing and snappy, sound design is amazing and creepy. 

I haven’t finished the game but I wanted to give my thoughts, maybe some of ya’ll wanted to try this and I can recommend it for sure. It’s hard even on normal mode but that can be me cuz I don’t play shooting games, only played Metroid Prime and Bioshock (don’t count it as horror as this tho). 

I’ve died multiple times and many times I see a new death animation. One time in the beginning village area, the Chainsaw Man broke some walls outta a house and I would’ve definitely missed that scene animation if I didn’t run to that specific spot. There is a lot of care here and stuff you might miss out on your first play through, so you’ll have a good time.

Has anyone here played this game? Watcha think?

I've played it! It's an amazing game. I played it when it first came out. Personally, I love horror games, but I just don't have enough time to play them these days. 😁

You should also check out Dead Space. It's one of my all-time favorites in the horror game genre. 👍

I love Resident Evil games. I have played them all. RE4 is not my absolute favourite because like you said it is quite arcady but it still a great game! 

I have heard that Dead Space has some similarities to RE. I should check it out! @Nercohype

I recommend you to wait till next year when RE Code Veronica remake is coming. It is more survival and less arcady. I've played the OG version.

@Riccurdo I didn't know that! I'm glad you mentioned it. I'll definitely be looking forward to it. I've never played the original game, but I've watched some playthroughs. 😁
