yeah it's a problem with most 3D games. only solution I can think of is locking doors so you're forced to fight, but that can feel very odd, like why does me killing every enemy in the room magically open this locked door
DMC does it and can get away with it because it's a magical barrier effect, but obviously that wouldn't work for RE4
I guess the incentive to not just run past all the enemies in RE4 is that the combat is fun, and enemies drop gold and ammo which will both help you beat mandatory bosses

>shoot through wooden doors
>kick doors open to knock back enemies
>shoot enemies near ledges to send them off
>enemies climbing ladders can be shot off
>can kick ladders down
>projectiles can be shot mid-air, either stopping them or blowing them up
>enemies can be killed by timing a shot [fire breathers]
>sometimes have the option to barricade entrances
>different grenades affect enemies differently, ie fire instakills wolves, flashbang kills any plagas
attacking different body parts and the enemy reactions, being able to attack floored enemies, hitting projectiles out of mid-air (explosive or non), shooting enemies off ladders, kicking ladders down, kicking doors open to stun enemies, the crowd control game with the kick, the environment interaction with things like shooting lanterns or barrels, there's all sorts of shit
