'Resident Evil 4' unleashes horror on iPhone 15 Pro, iPad, and Mac on December 20

Cool how it's universal across iOS and Mac, but still a bit sucky how it's App Store exclusive.  I wonder if they'll end up on Steam eventually.

Wouldn't hold your breath. I bought Resident Evil Village on Steam, only for it later to turn up in the App Store, and the Steam version doesn't include the Mac version. I expect the same thing will happen here, which means it was probably a good idea not to buy it on Steam when it was on special recently.

For a lot of games, Steam lets you download the Windows and/or Mac version, where available, but it looks like Resident Evil isn't working that way. For instance, I have a couple of the recent Tomb Raiders[ that are cross-platform from Steam, and Return to Monkey Island.

I also picked up the original version of RE4 a while back when it was on special for about A$5, but I find that unplayable. It has controller support, but it doesn't really work very well, and keyboard and mouse is just awkward to use. At least the RE2 and RE3 re-releases fixed a lot of the UI problems, so I expect RE4 to do the same.
