Chainsaw Demo

This is not an edition that you can purchase; it is just a demo that you can try out before purchasing the game. The demo takes you through a small part of the village and makes you familiar with the mechanics of the game. Playing the demo will basically help you decide whether you want to purchase the full game or not. And if you end up liking the demo a lot, then you can purchase the expensive editions of the game as well.

Which RE4 Remake Edition Should You Get?

Even if you are a new player or an old-time Resident Evil fan, we think that the Deluxe Edition is the best choice.

It offers so many bonuses over the standard edition for a small price of 10 dollars. The cosmetic items and weapons that you get with that edition are definitely worth it and will make the new game plus even better. The filters that add a new aesthetic to the game will make replaying Resident Evil 4 Remake worth your time.

The collector’s edition of RE4 Remake is only for those players who are fond of collecting special items and figurines and are huge fans of the Resident Evil series. The price of the collector’s edition is just too high for an average gamer and isn’t even worth it. In conclusion, it is the deluxe edition that players should go for!
