BIOHAZARD RE:4

Launched in 2005, Biohazard (Resident Evil) 4 is hailed as the franchise's greatest of all time because every single console made from the time of its launch to today has one. Such longevity prompted the producers to give the franchise's GOAT a much-needed remake for the new generation, harnessing the power of the RE ENGINE to the iconic installment.

BIOHAZARD RE:4 (PS5)

BIOHAZARD RE:4 is the long-awaited remake of the 2005 original installment that caused a lot of stir since its launch. The greatest installment of all time has been reborn for the new generation of consoles.

Fans of the original BIOHAZARD 4 are heavily familiar with the story. Set six years after the Raccoon City incident from the previous installments, Leon S. Kennedy, now a US government agent, is on a mission to rescue the president's daughter, whose whereabouts are hidden throughout a mysterious village inhabited by Ganados, humans plagued by the plaga unleashed by a sinister cult known as the Los Illuminados.

Every memorable moment from the installment, the memorable cast of characters, and everything fans loved about this franchise has been faithfully recreated by the power of the RE ENGINE first debuted in 2017's BIOHAZARD 7, giving a fresh lease of life to the greatest installment of all time. From every angle, the RE ENGINE made RE:4 even more realistic compared to the original BIOHAZARD 4.

The gameplay mechanics from BIOHAZARD 4 still works in this remake but with a couple of changes such as crafting ammunition and healing items, and of course, the parry and evade system where, at the right time, you can parry and evade enemy attacks, which are life-saving as expected.

As expected, the shop system is still there in the remake. If you need new weapons, upgrades, repairs, or selling treasures, feel free to visit the merchant. Plus, you can take on side requests where you can earn spinels when completed and use them in exchange for rare items. Talking about treasures, there are some treasures that can be sold at an ultra-high price when you combine them with various jewels. Match the same jewel colors in a treasure and the selling price will be better. Try it.

A masterpiece 18 years in the making, BIOHAZARD RE:4 brings the iconic installment to a whole new meaning for the new generations of gaming consoles. The greatest installment of all time has been reborn and it's one of the must-play horror games of the year.
