What is Resident Evil 4 Remake?

The latest from Capcom, Resident Evil 4 Remake is a modern take on the classic 2005 game Resident Evil 4. Created from the ground up in the RE Engine, it boasts vastly superior visuals and numerous gameplay enhancements, such as the addition of a parry system and modern controls that make it just as exciting to play as the original.

Players take control of Leon S. Kennedy, now a U.S. government agent sent to infiltrate a rural village in Spain and rescue the President’s daughter; however, things take a turn for the worse as it is revealed that the entire village is taken over by parasitic organisms, along with implications of a cult-like leader that threatens to take over the world.
