RE4 is fun until you start taking it seriously and realize you can just run around everything. Actually shooting the enemeies is mostly larping. So, you only need to fight bosses and do the QTEs. Not that there's anything wrong with the bosses, it's just there's a lot of pointlessly running past things to get to them.
You can pretty easily run past a majority of enemies in classic shooters too, and actually tend to be better off for doing so since you aren't letting the game eat up your finite health/ammo and potentially attrition you to death. In RE4 there's incentive to massacre every enemy since the goodies that they drop more often than not results in a net positive and helps in the long-term if you play optimally enough, even on professional difficulty where the dynamic scaling isn't present and it's instead cranked to always being frugal & brutal. Plus, it's just fun to shoot dudes and kick their heads so hard that they burst like melons slammed onto concrete.
