Almost all of the game's critical reception has been met with high praise as it boasts a 96 Metascore on Metacritic (for the PlayStation 2 version). It is widely considered to be the best Resident Evil game of the series, and many also consider it to be one of the greatest video games of all-time. Although it wasn't really considered a reboot at the time, one could observe it ushered in an entirely new generation of Resident Evil games as the main canon changed, while the standard fixed-camera angles and tank controls were replaced with over-the-shoulder third-person action. Another important distinction is that this is the first in the main series to not take place in Raccoon City.

Despite its title, this is actually the thirteenth full game in the series (I refuse to count the Java game, but if you feel inclined it is technically the fourteenth then). It was first released on 11 January 2005 and is the last main Resident Evil game to feature series' creator, Shinji Mikami's direction and guidance. Resident Evil 4 is a survival horror game that was developed and published by Capcom. Apparently the Nintendo Wii version is very unique, so if you're a die-hard fan and still have your old station, I'd recommend it for a change of pace. It is also available on nearly every modern platform to include PC via Steam, Nintendo GameCube, Mobile (IOS/Android), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Wii. Where You Can Find It: I played this on PlayStation 4 as a remastered port, but I have also played the PS2 and PS3 versions.
