Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?

He was a one-note action hero cornball.

In its changes, the shack is absolutely terrifying this time around.

I was forced to navigate its many hallways and rooms, which felt much more maze-like.

And, to my surprise, it featured locked doors that required keys to open.

Hirabayashi-san referred to this as “powering up” elements of the original.

Although the opening is certainly more horror-centric, that isn’t the case for the rest of the game.

It convulsed and gurgled as it moved one step at a time towards me.

Something new to the mix were executions.

That was when Leon said, “I’ll see myself out” and jumped out a window.

But a cool one.

And if my anxiety wasn’t high enough, that’s when I came across the dog.

In this Resident Evil 4, there is no dog to save from a bear trap.

Instead, a murder of crows surrounded its corpse, leg still trapped.

I audibly cheered when it happened.

When the demo ended, I could still feel my heart pounding through my chest.
