These are the best Resident Evil games according to Metacritic: where’s RE4 remake?

Let’s take a look back at how the critics have scored the Resident Evil franchise throughout the years. Where does the Resident Evil 4 remake land on Metacritic?

We’re finally past the launch week of Resident Evil 4 remake, a new great work of Capcom redoing the most popular entries of one of its star franchises. According to the 93 that crowns the game on Metacritic, it is evident that this has been the case, and this is how we have recognized it in MeriStation, where it got a fabulous 9 in our review.

“It is a tribute and an update of one of the great classics of third-person action, capable of improving almost everything it touches and lovingly reconstructing what needed a facelift,” said Salva Fernández in his text. “Unforgettable moments are not lacking, and many others have been rethought with success. The tension and the burden of not knowing if you can handle everyone is still present with waves and hordes of fearsome enemies.”
