About the game

A survival horror action game in which agent Leon S. Kennedy enters a remote European village to rescue the President's kidnapped daughter. A remake of the 2005 original, it adds elements like parrying enemy attacks with your knife. Conserving ammo and healing items while fending off hordes of enemies creates great tension. Upgrading weapons and trading with the Merchant to grow stronger is fun too.

Why we recommend it

A remake that rebuilds the classic original with modern graphics and controls, striking an excellent balance between horror and action.

Good for — Great for: anyone who wants intense action in a horror atmosphere
