Resident Evil 4 Remake
Capcom
Resident Evil 4 Remake is Capcom's 2023 rebuild of one of the most influential action-horror games ever made. You play as Leon S. Kennedy, a US government agent sent to rural Spain to rescue the president's daughter, Ashley, from a mysterious cult. What starts as a missing persons case quickly turns into a nightmare of infected villagers, monstrous bosses and very little ammunition.

The remake keeps the original's structure but modernises everything: over-the-shoulder shooting, smarter enemies, improved stealth and a new knife parry that lets you deflect attacks if timed correctly.

It also strengthens the story and characters, giving Ashley and the supporting cast more depth.

Beyond the main campaign, Capcom added The Mercenaries, a free arcade mode where you try to survive waves of enemies for a high score, and Separate Ways, a paid expansion that follows Ada Wong.

Is it a cafe game?

It is mainly single-player, but it is a great choice if you want to try a big-name game before buying it, or experience horror on a big screen with good sound. Friends can take turns playing, and watching someone else face a chainsaw-wielding villager is half the fun. The Mercenaries mode is also ideal for competing for high scores.

Best station to ask for
PS5 or a PC with a good GPU and a headset for audio.

Sound design is a big part of the horror. The game is rated M, so it is for adults.

Tips for first-timers
Aim for enemies' legs or heads to stagger them, then use a melee kick.

Save ammo by using your knife on weaker enemies, but watch its durability. Sell treasures to the merchant and upgrade a few weapons rather than all of them. Search every room; ammo and herbs are hidden everywhere.

Time
The main story takes about 15 to 20 hours.

A cafe session of two hours will cover the opening village and a bit more. The Mercenaries rounds take minutes each.

Who should play
Horror fans, anyone who loved the original Resident Evil 4, and players who want a tense, well-paced single-player game.
