The best difficulty to choose in Resident Evil 4 Remake is when you don't feel stressed but enjoy the challenges. The game offers three difficulties at the start: Assisted, Standard, and Hardcore. There is a fourth one, though you must complete the game to unlock the Professional difficulty setting. Depending on your skill level, you can pick these difficulty settings at the beginning.

  • Assisted difficulty in Resident Evil 4 Remake is reserved for beginners who have never played action games like RE4.
  • The combat is easier as the aim assist is active.

What is a Standard game mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

  • The Standard difficulty is the best choice for most players who like these games but don't have much experience with the Resident Evil franchise.
  • There are few resources, so you must consider conserving ammo, especially if you're encountering hard-to-kill enemies like Regenerators.
  • The Standard difficulty setting is challenging for most of the players.

What is a Hardcore game mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake?

  • The Hardcore difficulty setting is intended for Resident Evil veterans, especially players who have mastered the original Resident Evil 4 (2005) game.
  • Enemies are strong and hard to kill.
  • You'll have to plan your gameplay strategy carefully, as you'll be hard-pressed to preserve ammo.
  • Many items in the shop are expensive.

For most players, Standard difficulty mode is the best choice. This setting allows you to enjoy the game with enough challenges to keep you on your feet but not too hard to make you rage quit.
