Last year, we recorded an episode entirely devoted to the original Resident Evil 4,easily one of the greatest video games ever made, and this week, we’ve got an episode entirely devoted to the recent Resident Evil 4 remake – which also happens to be one of the greatest video games ever made. Flawlessly expanding upon the foundations of its classic predecessor with fleshed out combat, heightened challenge, increased exploration, and a richer, more character-driven story, 2023’s Resident Evil 4 does the impossible by creating a more-than-worthy reimagining of a game it once seemed impossible to improve on. We go deep with all aspects of the game in this episode, and spend the entire time resisting the overwhelming urge to shut off the podcast and go play more of this outstanding game. 

Enjoy!
