The GameCube era of the early 2000s was a magical time for Resident Evil. Not only did Capcom return to the first game, releasing a much more challenging and intense remake (where mutating, self-reviving enemies first appeared, a feature every Requiem<\/a> player is VERY familiar with by now), but it also pushed the genre towards a new, more action-oriented era with the gloriously camp Resident Evil 4.<\/p>\n

Liberated from the GameCube and now over 20 years old each, both REmake<\/a> and the OG RE4<\/a> are available with some mild enhancements on Steam. They’re perfectly playable straight from the installer\u2014but we can do better.<\/p>\n

Thanks to painstaking efforts by the community, extensive graphical mods are available for both games, although not much gameplay-wise. Best not to mess with perfection, after all.<\/p>\n
