Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 (2005) sends Leon S. Kennedy, now a government agent, to rural Spain to rescue Ashley Graham, the president’s kidnapped daughter. He quickly finds a village of infected locals called Ganados, controlled by a parasite and a mysterious cult called Los Illuminados.

Directed by Shinji Mikami, it transformed the series with an over the shoulder camera and action packed pacing, and it influenced nearly every third person shooter that followed. The Ultimate HD Edition on Steam is the classic PC version, separate from the 2023 remake.
