It’s hard to describe how revolutionary Resident Evil 4 felt when it initially released back in 2005. The over-the-shoulder camera is standard now, but at the time, it felt fresh and unique. More importantly, the gameplay was wildly different from any survival horror game I’d played before. I could take a strategic approach to enemy attacks, disarming or disabling them instead of killing them outright. There were tons of opportunities to interact with my environment, which made the game’s world feel more alive.
