    It was long overdue, and the wait was worth it!

    People who know about this game, know that the development cycle was terrible for this game. Delays, Techland(developers of the original Dead Island) left this game in limbo to make "Dying Light", only for Dambuster Studios to pick it up and finally bring it back from the dead (see what I did there?) But seriously, this game is more of the original game, made better. It runs smoothly, even during multiplayer (3 people at a time in a game). *NEW PLAYER BEWARE* Amy is hard mode in this game (I learned that the hard way), but dang, is it fun to slice and dice, or pummel zombie skulls, or beat them down and finish them off with a beautiful, gory head stomp! This game was in Limbo for years, and now its finally free, and it is so much fun!

    Surprisingly Good

    If you liked the first one, you’ll love this one. Everything the original did well, this does better. The things it didn’t do very well, have mostly been improved. Weapon system is easier to navigate. It’s more interesting and fun to upgrade weapons. Weapons seem more durable, the first seemed like an endless quest to stay armed. Combat is more fluid , although still a tad clunky. It adds to the excitement. The curveballs are a great add and set up outstanding tactical choices with your load out. This is the ultimate zombie beat up fun fest.

Resident Evil 4 Standard Edition - PlayStation 5

Resident Evil 4 joins Leon S. Kennedy six years after his hellish experiences in the biological disaster of Raccoon City. His unmatched resolve caused him to be recruited as an agent reporting directly to the president of the United States. With the experience of multiple missions on his back, Leon is dispatched to rescue the president’s recently kidnapped daughter. Leon tracks her to a secluded European village, however after making first contact he discovers a fervor beyond reason grips the local populace.

Now, this reimagined tale of survival in the face of overwhelming terror returns to deliver a visually stunning modern gaming experience that is true to the promise of the original release.
