Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 is a revolutionary survival horror game, originally released in 2005, that significantly shifted the series’ focus towards action while retaining its eerie atmosphere. Players control U.S. agent Leon S. Kennedy, sent to a rural Spanish village to rescue the President’s kidnapped daughter, Ashley Graham. Upon arrival, Leon confronts villagers infected by the mind-controlling “Las Plagas” parasite, transforming them into aggressive “Ganados.” The game is famed for introducing the “over-the-shoulder” third-person camera, a more dynamic inventory system, and intense, action-packed encounters, all while maintaining a suspenseful horror narrative.
