Someone owes Marie Kondo a fruit basket, because this spring-clean remake of one of the best games ever made is all about sparking joy. There are plenty of fantastic new additions, and the best bits aren’t just all present, but rearranged in a way that they complement each other more than they originally did (we constantly go ‘Of course – that makes loads more sense’ while playing), not least of all in how superstar secret agent Leon S Kennedy has been greased up to perform more slickly than ever. The definitive version of Resi 4? Absolutely. The best game in the series? We’ll say it: yes. This is action-horror magic.
