12. Resident Evil 4. The best video games coming in 2023

Resident Evil 4, Capcom, 2023

We will have to wait a long time for the ninth main installment of the Resident Evil series, but this wait will be easier with another remake of a classic installment of this series – this time, the one originally released in 2005. We will again play as Leon and go to a gloomy village in Spain to save the daughter of the US president from the formidable cult of Los Illuminados. This title was once a revolution in Resident – it introduced a TPP camera and inventory management, including vendors.

The impressive rejuvenating treatment that the second and third parts have previously undergone allows us to be quite certain about the quality of the audiovisual setting and the technical condition. The authors not only create a nicer version of the game from scratch, but also remove all annoying and archaic solutions and mechanics, replacing them with modern standards. This is usually about the control scheme, camera work and some gameplay mechanics. In previous remakes, the story was also slightly modified, new locations and characters were added, so it's quite possible that even the biggest fans of the original will be surprised this time. It will release in early spring.
