I love the Resident Evil 4 remake, even if there were a few things that rubbed me the wrong way—I wish all those spiffy outfits were unlockables instead of paid DLC (I'm ashamed to admit that I coughed up five bucks for that bomber jacket), and The Mercenaries mode feels a little anemic and tacked on, awarding the super-endgame hidden Handcannon to practically anyone with a pulse. But there is one feature of the REM4KE that makes up for all that and more: its sick as hell, Sekiro-style parry.
A quick tap of left bumper or space bar and Leon brings his every day carry-ass combat knife to bear, capable of blocking almost any enemy attack if timed correctly and opening enemies up for a devastating melee combo if you land a "perfect parry" in a tighter window. I highly recommend enabling the option that instead ties it to left click/right trigger outside of aiming down sights as well.
