Resident Evil 4 is a survival horror action game developed and published by Capcom. Released in 2005, it follows Leon S. Kennedy, a special agent sent to a rural Spanish village to rescue the U.S. president’s kidnapped daughter, Ashley Graham. Upon arrival, Leon encounters violent villagers infected by a mind-controlling parasite called Las Plagas, controlled by a sinister cult known as Los Illuminados.

The game revolutionized the series with its over-the-shoulder third-person perspective and intense action-oriented gameplay, blending horror and combat. Players battle grotesque enemies, solve puzzles, and manage resources while protecting Ashley. With a gripping narrative, strategic gunplay, and iconic boss fights, Resident Evil 4 became one of the most influential games in the survival horror genre.

Its success led to multiple remasters, a 2023 remake, and lasting influence on modern action-horror titles, cementing its status as a masterpiece in gaming history.
