I used to do knife-only runs in the original PS1 RE1 and 2. Imported 4 and Remake so I didn't have to wait 3-4 months for UK release lol.
RE2 remake was pretty good. There's some cut stuff that makes no sense, but as an overall retelling of the original, it's fine. RE3 remake feels like half the game is missing and Nemesis is 0 threat because of the dodge move and that he only really turns up a handful of times. Feels like he was designed to be encountered in far more areas that never made it into the game. You can get all his weapon-part drops within the first 25 minutes of the game. Really bad remake.
Wah, turns out I am not the biggest fan here lel!
I only watch those kinds of videos(knife only/no damage/speedrun etc) and I played all the games years after their releases. I bought only RE7 just a year after the release.
There was this Turkish videogame magazine called ''Level'' and I acquired the one that reviewed RE4 when I was a child. It had that mutated spidy Bitorez Mendez, chainsaw guy, Ada Wong, the atmosphere of the village, villagers with sickles, blind boss pictures. An anectode about an easter egg on how the sea monster would attack you if you killed enough of the fishes in the lake, a handsome cool looking protagonist saving a teenager as a subject... I was enchanted by it. My computer was bad and my parents were radically against video games so I kept the ambition to play the game for years. So it has a deep meaning for me lel.

Yep, these are precisely what I heard from everywhere.
