Resident Evil 4 Remake

Resident Evil 4 is one of the most replayable games ever made, so it was no surprise that 2023’s Resident Evil 4 Remake would go down as one of the year’s best games. And now, thanks to a free downloadable update that reimagines the game in VR, you can experience this all-time classic horror adventure in a brand new way. The motion-controlled aiming made me recall fond memories of playing Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, and parrying attacks with your knife is so, so satisfying in VR.

You will be regularly reminded that Resident Evil 4 Remake was not originally designed for a first-person perspective. Cutscenes will play out as they did in the original flat screen version of the game, and actions like melee attacks will occur in third person (which is probably for the better, just thinking about Leon’s roundhouse kick in first person makes me motion sick). Regardless, if you need a reason to dive back into the world of survival horror, this is it.
