Resident Evil 4 Remake reconstructs the iconic survival-horror experience that wowed gamers back in the early 2000s. With this new tradition, developer Capcom has not held back on the content. As far as the core narrative is concerned, this is the complete RE4 package. The game follows Leon Kennedy as he searches for the US President's daughter, Ashley Graham, on familiar territory.
Many recognizable elements return, such as third-person, over-the-shoulder gameplay. However, there are new additions as well, like stealth and side-missions.
With the Resident Evil 4 remake being somewhat of a side grade in some ways, how does this affect its length? Is it more in line with the 2005 GameCube original, or is there more to it?
The average estimate for beating the campaign will take around 15-20 hours, including narrative and some exploration of side content. This puts it in line with the original game's length. Meanwhile, those who aim to rush through the story can do so in about 12 hours.
With that said, Capcom's latest remake could be a meaty game if players want it to be. Players will want to scour through every nook and cranny, unearth every collectible, read through every piece of text and evidence and collect all gear and weapons.
There are also upgrades to consider and, of course, achievements. The latter, in particular, should convince trophy hunters to spend extra time amidst the horrors Leon encounters in rural Spain.
As such, players should expect around 30 hours for a 100% completion rate. Additionally, multiple runs at harder difficulties and post-launch content can almost double the playtime. All things considered, survival-horror fans sure are getting their money's worth with the Resident Evil 4 remake.
