A survival horror whose over-the-shoulder camera redefined the entire genre in 2005.

Resident Evil 4, in its 2024 form, brought to phones a reworked version of the 2023 remake — a modern reconstruction of the legendary survival horror whose 2005 original introduced the over-the-shoulder camera and defined action horror for the following decade. Capcom released the port through Netflix Games, so Netflix subscribers can play it with no additional one-time purchase or extra ads.

The conversion to touch controls uses virtual sticks and customizable buttons for aiming, shooting, and dodging, which is no trivial task for a game built around precise sharpshooting and tight ammo management. The result is playable, though finger-aiming precision naturally falls short of a gamepad or mouse, so the game also supports external controllers for players who want tighter control over combat. It also offers classic difficulty settings and the ability to save progress at any time, so it works just as well in short sessions as in one long play session.

The atmosphere of a village possessed by parasites, the gothic castle setting, and the iconic Merchant remain untouched, as does the tension of limited resources and tough enemies that force constant tactical thinking. Its inclusion in Netflix Games shows a trend where the streaming service brings fresh big titles to mobile without the classic paid app-store model, in exchange for the subscription alone. Players thus get access to the same campaign as on consoles, including side quests and gathering materials for weapon upgrades.

Why play it: For Netflix subscribers who want to play a key survival horror on the go; touch controls work, but a gamepad noticeably improves the experience.

GameCube was the lead development platform and is still regarded as the sharpest, most detailed version: textures, lighting, and animation smoothness all look their best there. PlayStation 2 received the game a few months later that same year, 2005, and added exclusive extra content — including the bonus Separate Ways mode starring Ada Wong and new weapons — but its weaker hardware forced a drop in texture quality, leaving it looking somewhat blurrier and running slightly less smoothly than the GameCube original. If you want Resident Evil 4 looking its absolute best, pick the GameCube version; if you want the most content, the PS2 extras are worth having.
