We are finally moving away from mostly HD remasters to full on remakes. These games are getting better and better every year and somehow being better than new games releasing the same year. This year was no exception to fantastic remakes and I hope this trend continues.

Resident Evil 4

I didn’t think RE4 could be remade to be better than the original. RE2 and RE3 were both great remakes and redefined themselves once again, but RE4 was already a game that set out to redefine the series, so how can it keep improving? By being a better and tighter version of itself. Improved camera, gunplay, tighter levels, fixed bugs and issues, and new stuff thrown in made this the definitive RE4 package.
