More about Resident Evil 4
This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 7 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,280 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 4,672 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
16.2 hours to finish it, 65 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 4.0 times the campaign.
The rating rests on 286,898 reviews, so it is not going to move much from here.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

This was my 2nd RE game that ive played. Finished the story in 20h with a B rating. The game is frankly amazing. It constantly provides new sets of tools for you to use, teaches you the basics of how a thing works, and then goes "well off you go, deal with this now good luck".
I've played almost every version of Resident Evil 4 (GameCube, PS2, PC original, PC Ultimate HD, Xbox One) and unlocked 100% of the unlockables in each. Now I've finally done the same for the remake, and I'm simply thrilled with how well Capcom handled the changes without destroying the heart and soul of the game. It's a fantastic remake with great graphics and an incredibly high replay value. Even though the...
