Whereas Resident Evil 2 and 3 were about sneaking in the dark, hording ammo and running from your problems, Resident Evil 4 is about being a kickass Backstreet Boy with a giant arsenal and enough karate kicking proficiency to kill anything after a good shooting or stabbing. Leon Kennedy is tasked with venturing into a small Spanish village to rescue the President's daughter Ashley, and that's about as much of the plot as I absorbed. You'll assault an infected village, comb through a creepy castle, traverse a vast underground cave system by rail, and finally take down a militarized island. Your enemies will be undead rural peasants seemingly teleported from the 19th century, giant mutated cicadas, ogres who got lost on their way to Mordor, and fleshy ghouls who can regenerate limbs even after they've been dismembered by a shotgun blast. None of it really makes sense, but it doesn't have to! Resident Evil 4 is the release after creeping through the previous two entries. It's Aliens to RE 2/3's Alien. One of my favorite things about the game is collecting treasure and inlaying it with multicolored emeralds and rubies, and then selling it for a big payday of pesetas to spend on weapon upgrades. Putting a stock on your Red 9 handgun to improve its accuracy or adding a scope to your bolt rifle are all part of the fun. The RE Engine is looking good, although it's missing DLSS upscaling for some reason. Thankfully, Resident Evil 4 runs great without it, although don't turn on ray-tracing, since it tanks the frame rate and doesn't add anything noticeable to the visuals.
