It has only been on sale for a few days and Resident Evil 4 Remake has already become in its own right one of the greatest and most essential games of this 2023. This has been made very clear by the analyzes published around the world, classifying it as one of the most amazing remakes of recent years.
This fact has been well reflected in Metacritic, because the PS5 version has achieved an average score of 93, compared to 92 in the case of PC and 91 on Xbox Series X / S, so it has had notable scores on all platforms. However, the user community does not seem to think the same and has come together to criticize it non-stop.
That has caused the title has been the new victim of the review bombing, a practice in which hundreds of users are dedicated to publishing non-stop criticism and incidentally giving very low scores.

Therefore, the game’s average score has plummeted, standing at an average of 7.1 on PS5, 5.5 on PC, 5.1 on Xbox Series X/S and the one that has come out worse off has been the version of PS4 with a 4.5. To give you an idea, these are some of the complaints that have been filed:
- The controls are not as good as in the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes.
- The dialogues are rubbish.
- There are no additional game modes.
- Youtubers received it days in advance and the internet was filled with videos of the game.
- Bad performance and bad acting in dubbing.
- It is unplayable in its version for consoles.
- The annoying reappearance of enemies.
- Too much content has been clipped.
Others have even come to consider it the worst video game that has existed in all of history or a much worse version compared to the original title. Despite this, not all users have been so harsh, because there are also hundreds of very positive opinions which are consistent with analyzes that have been published elsewhere.
