In 2023, many would argue the controls for RE4 feel clunky. But that’s all it is a matter of adjusting. As someone whose main shooters at the time were PC games (Valorant and Escape from Tarkov), you could argue that getting through the first village was a challenge in and of itself while I adjusted to the controls.

When I replayed Resident Evil 4 last year, don't get me wrong, the controls felt off. Yet, with a little patience, stand to shoot mechanics are wholly immersive – something that Resident Evil 4 (2005) would not be the same without.

I’ll be the first to admit that, in 2023, they’re not what our brains have been relentlessly programmed to expect from modern games.

First thing's first: tank controls are not necessarily difficult to use.
