    One of the best games of all time. Great package overall, beautiful graphics, great optimisation, so much content for a very low price. This is what survival horror is all about!

    Super jeu survival-horror. Le jeu est très beau graphiquement, n'a aucun bug ni problèmes d'optimisation, il est fluide etc.

Je me suis parfois "perdu" à certains endroits notamment au commissariat où je naviguais entre les zones sans l'objet demandé ou en ne pas savant vraiment quoi faire (ce n'est pas un point négatif au jeu car c'est parce que je suis un peu ♥♥♥) .
    L'histoire est bonne, elle n'est pas incroyable mais elle est assez cohérente et intéressante.
    En plus de la campagne principale, enfin des 2 car il y a celle avec Léon et celle avec Claire, il y a d'autres modes et des défis à faire pour ceux qui veulent passer plus de temps sur le jeu. Je ne les ai pas encore testé mais ils ont l'air sympa.    … Expand

    An experience unlike most others I have had in my gaming life. This has to be the first time I have played a game 6 times in 30 hours over 2 weeks. Obviously the nature of the games structure is the reason for this, but it’s brilliant nonetheless. Found myself speedrunning the game and loving every second.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is a phenomenal game which offers a large amount of content for the price that you pay for it. It is one of those games where you will truly get your money's worth, especially when it goes on sale.

    First of all there are two campaigns, Claire and Leon. They are similar but different in a multitude of ways, different endings, different parts of the Police Station you can access, different weapons, but once you play your second playthrough as the opposite character from your starting one, you'll notice that some parts of the game are more or less the same.

    The game looks amazing, the amount of detail the graphic designers put into the police station and other set pieces to make the game look realistic is outstanding, there are so many small and fine details that are easy to miss but if you just take a moment to appreciate it, you'll notice the real love that went into this game.

    Combat is pretty decent, but if you go around trying to permanently put down every zombie you see, you'll run out of ammo fast. There is only a set limit of how much ammo you can obtain each playthrough, enemies do not drop extra ammo upon killing them, which players might be used to if they've come from playing the 4-6 games. The part that makes the game proper survival horror, is knowing when to fight and when to run, consider saving your ammo for when you truly need it.

    The puzzles are great and I personally don't think the backtracking in this game feels as tedious as it does in most games, mainly due to the fact that you might think you've cleared an area but something has changed whilst you've been away or some random zombie has decided to go for a wander and now he's there to contend with. The puzzles themselves aren't necessarily difficult but as long as you keep ample inventory space, you'll be fine.

    The story is pretty decent, it's really just about surviving and trying to get out of the City and more revelations reveal themselves about the origin of the breakout and what not as you progress; as well as different files dotted around the map to give you some context and some world building, but in terms of storytelling it's definitely not on the same level as something like Death Stranding or Detroit Become Human.

    I only had one gripe with the game and it wasn't consistent all the way through, sometimes you do just get slapped with special infected or a copious unmanageable mount of Zombies at one time, and you can easily be stun locked if you're not careful.

    It's also worth noting that after completing the game you unlocked "2nd Run" mode, which basically is the same game but the items are in different places and certain things play out differently, it gives the game excellent replayability as you won't know the locations of all the items you got in your first playthrough. More games should learn from this.

    Another fantastic feature is the "Records" bonus content, where you get three short scenarios about three different characters from the game that aren't really expanded upon. Most developers/publishers would have released this as a paid DLC, but it's completely FREE and in the game, giving you some new characters to play with a new scenario to play out. So there's some extra content after you finish the main campaigns, once or twice.

    Overall, Resident Evil 2 is a testament to how games that were limited by their technology at the time can be remade into near perfection. This is how the game was meant to be played and any developer, in my opinion, that remakes a game that does not fit this standard of remake that Resident Evil 2 offers, shouldn't bother making it.

    9/10, you will absolutely not regret this purchase.    … Expand

    I played the remake of the first game, which was already good. But this one is clearly better.
    The ego perspective is better in my view, especially on PC.
    The graphic is perfect. The port to PC is also perfect also: there are many details to change the graphics and the game shows the effect immediately with a picture...genius.

    The gameplay is similar to the first game, but a bit better, because the map is better and it is more clear where to go. Also there are some new elements: gun powder, wood planks for the windows, and so on. The one thing that I didnt like was Mr. Tyrant and his hunt for the player, especially in the 2nd campaign.
    The story has also some improvements and is more complex. I just didnt like some scenes, because they were a bit childish and not realistic. Also the 2nd campaign is not realistic, because it didnt fit in the the first campaign. In addition you just play the game again, what was disappointing    … Expand

    First of all, I have to say that it is interesting that there are so many puzzles in a horror game. Also, the undead zombies are an ordeal. All in all, it's all a good experience. I just wish the claire story was a little different because doing the same things was boring. Nice work, Nice remake!

    This game is fabulous, man. I just beat it with my gf - was her first look at the franchise. I consolidated some thoughts I had about it previously and introduced her to the game. There are so many things to talk about...

    First of all, the gameplay. The level design here is impeccable in a way that, when you start the game, you don't realize that you will be familiarized so much with it. That's what happened with my gf. She complained about the size of it, saying that was too much to learn. Eventually, she was running around figuring out things by herself and enjoying it. besides, when the game requires exploration in order to progress and outplay the enemies, it becomes natural. And there's Mr. X also... man, she was terrified. Even I, whose already beaten the game, was anxious about his steps.

    The plot involves you fast. The premise itself is crazy. You wanna know what is happening impersonally when you arrive at the police station, but how much more you are deep into that **** the more you wanna know since a lot of things are at stake. Also, the graphics are so good here. The characters aren't unidimensional, and the facial expressions help them so much to transmit it. Talking about that subject, we can not forget about the gore. Jess, it's crazy good and satisfying.

    At least, but not less important, the audio design. For some reason, I decided to put my soundbar on my desktop. I put the bar below the monitor and the subwoofer below the desk and man... We could feel the pressure of the flame thrower, every shot with the sub and the steps of Mr. X were even more terrifying. I couldn't recommend it more.

    Right now, we're starting RE 3.

    Two decades after the release of the original trip into the biohazardous universe of Resident Evil, Capcom delivers the best instalment yet. The world you'll be thrown in is a dangerous one, and it doesn't just look the part, but also makes you feel the thrill of being a survivor like never before, as each bullet shot, each item found, and each decision taken, can make the difference between life and death. Simply put, remake or not, this is survival horror at its best.
