    On the note of performance, the game boasts beautiful graphics, yet can run at very high FPS even on older machines, making it playable by a large amount of people without the need to upgrade their PC. The optimization is excellent, and the range of customization of the graphics options just proves the dedication of the developer them to make this game as excellent as it once was, and more!    … Expand

    Das Resident Evil 2 Remake ist das Remake des Klassikers von 1996. Im Vergleich zum Original hat sich an der Story nicht viel getan. Man spielt wieder als Leon Kennedy oder Claire Redfield. Dabei wurden die Zwischensequenzen in die Spielegrafik übertragen was diese nochmal deutlich aufwertet. Für Veteranen wurden einige neue Storyelemente und Zwischensequenzen eingeführt. Mehr soll hier auch nicht verraten werden, da das Spielgefühl sehr von der Unwissenheit des Spielers lebt.

    Im Gegensatz zur Story hat sich beim Gameplay einiges getan. So gibt es nun keine festen Kameraperspektiven mehr sondern eine Schulterperspektive welche dem Spieler in Actionsequenzen einen besseren Überblick gibt und für ein völlig neues Spielgefühl sorgt. Dennoch verkommt das Remake nicht zu einem reinen Actionspiel. Durch ständige Munitionsknappheit und einige (zum teils doch recht knifflige) Rätsel wird der Erkundungsdrang des Spielers gefördert. Durch gutes Sounddesign und atmosphärisches Lichtspiel kommt auch der Horror nicht zu kurz. Gespielt werden kann auch wieder im Veteranen Spielmodus mit nicht weniger Munition und stärkeren Gegnern.

    Die Spielzeit ist mit gut 7 Stunden pro Charakter auf dem leichtesten Schwierigkeitsgrad zwar nicht besonders lang, jedoch hat das Spiel durch seine verschiedenen Möglichkeiten die Story zu erleben einen hohen Widerspielwert. Insgesamt müsste man die Story viermal (zweimal mit jedem Charakter). Auch die Zusatzkampagne "The 4th Survivor" sorgt noch für weiteren Spielspaß.

    Schlußendlich kann man sagen das Capcom ein richtig gutes Remake und sogar ein richtig gutes eigenständiges Spiel gelungen ist. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung geht an alle Horror und Resident Evil Fans    … Expand

В 2015 году догадки подтвердились официальным заявлением. Далее 4 года я как только мог "облизывал" каждую обнародаванную информацию - как фанатские слухи, так и от официальных источников. После трейлера и геймплейных видео демки, показанных на E3-2018 - стало более-менее ясно, чего нам ждать, но из-за камеры а-ля 4-ка ко мне подкрадывался скепсис. И... этот скепсис вмиг развеялся, когда вышла игра!
    Смена камеры от статичной в "от плеча" вообще никак не испортило атмосферу из классики - тут не в камере дело, а в самом процессе: опять решаем головоломки, опять один простой зомби может представлять большую угрозу, опять надо бегать от сундука к сундуку, опять нужно думать головой - где, например, безопаснее будет пройти из точки А в точку Б. Кто-то скажет, что Тиран тут внушает не страх, а только надоедает, но я скажу - чтобы ощутить всю безысходность - не просто нужно, а вообще необходимо проходить на хардкоре, где все враги опасны, а свинца они жрут много. Я это говорю к тому, что побег от Тирана может случайно завершиться в узком коридоре с лизунами, которых в ремейке, в отличие от оригинала, вообще нельзя трогать, дабы не отправиться к праотцам. Помимо всего прочего очень понравились некоторые отсылки к прототипу второго Резика - Resident Evil 1.5 (кто знает - тот поймёт). В-общем, эта игра может не понравиться только уж совсем страдающим синдромом утёнка, для которых и Ада не та, и Леон с Клер, и участок, и так далее. А так, игра зайдёт и игрокам старой школы, как я, и новичкам, которым классические части кажутся совсем мезозоем.    … Expand

This game is a remake, not a remaster. A remaster would be the game just given a new coat of paint and maybe some fixes to bugs...maybe some additional content, however, this is not that. This is a remake, it is a reimagining of the original game with new gameplay elements introduced, maybe even new areas added or slight changes to the overall story. Now, into the specifics, this game is incredible. It has me hooked as no other Resident Evil game has ever had me hooked before. I have played Resident Evil HD and Resident Evil 7 in the past, and, while I found those to be enjoyable, for some reason they just never really clicked with me. This game clicked with me, and I am addicted. The more I play this game, the more I want to play. It took me a bit of time to ease into this game. I've never really been a horror game fan, so when I started this game, I was still very worried about everything. I started off the game, started Leon's campaign first, standard difficulty. I had gotten about 2 hours in, still hadn't beaten the first boss, and had around eleven saves. Yeah, that was me haha. I then realized that I was being a bit too scared and that I should mellow out. I restarted the campaign. I was around one and a half hours in when I had encountered Tyrant. I was feeling good, however, I felt like I could do better. Restarted...one...more...time. I had gotten to the same point when I was an hour in. This game makes you feel so much fulfillment for really learning the game. I ended up finishing that run at 3 hours and 36 minutes, which made me a little angry as 6 minutes stood between an S rank and my A rank. By the end, I had three saves, and I also hadn't opened the item box once. I learned so much just by playing more and more, and I continually want to do further runs of the game. The gameplay is addictive, there is so much nuance to it. There are so many fine details it is honestly incredible. This game also managed to somehow make zombies scary again, which is a marvel because, for the past few years, traditional zombies have been quite stale. The zombies in this game feel like an actual threat, especially whenever there is more than one, they can easily gang up on you if you are not careful, and whenever you do get ganged up on, you don't feel as though it's the game's fault, anything that goes wrong always feels like the player's fault, the game doesn't feel unfair in the slightest. I'll admit there were moments where I was really scrounging for ammo and even, in some cases, healing items, but I didn't feel as though the game was being unfair, I more felt like it was my fault for being stupid and using up all my resources. There were also many times I got frustrated at the game, but then realized that it was all my fault because I hadn't discovered a weak spot on an enemy or something of the sort. The graphics are gorgeous too. I won't dive too much into my specs, however, the game ran 90fps-120fps consistently on my rig at 1440p at like high-very high settings. All of the technology that went into the game as well is impressive. The limb dismemberment is awesome and allows for the most realistic zombies in a game to date. I loved the story, and I thought that the characters were very likable, only further bolstered by the really great performances behind them. The performances of the main characters like Ada, Leon, and Claire were incredible and believable. The soundtrack of the game is marvelous too. When navigating through the tight corridors of the police station, the soundtrack is very eery and only adds to the overall atmosphere, really making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It can go from that to intense music during boss fights that really build up the scale and grandeur of the fight. The gameplay is really tight. The shooting feels satisfying and powerful, and when you learn a specific enemy's weakness, it really feels gratifying as, the enemy you once feared, can now be thwarted easily. The progression overall feels natural. I really enjoy the transition from fixed camera angles to a third-person, Resident Evil 4-6 style camera. One of the main things that kept me from getting into Resident Evil 2 Original or 3: Nemesis was the fixed camera angles and tank controls, I could just never get into them as they were very hard for me to use, but with this I can finally enjoy the story and characters while also enjoying the updated gameplay. The movement feels good, the characters have a good weight to them. I also love that, in this age of gaming, there is no transition between rooms like the older games, you just run through the door and are in the next room like that, which also allows enemies besides that of Tyrant or Nemesis to follow you into other rooms, further increasing the danger. Currently, I cannot think of a better example of a remake than Resident Evil 2. It is phenomenal and addicting in all the right ways.… Expand

Unfortunately, I did not have the benefit of playing the original game because I wasn't born at that time. But the moment I saw the ad pop up on my Steam store page, I knew that buying this game would be the right decision. And now, after playing all four different campaigns and going through the two extra modes (the 4th survivor and the tofu survivor), I can fully say that there wasn't a nanosecond I regretted buying the game.
    It's a true survival horror game, not an action-packed piece of trash stuffed with unrealistic overpowered main characters that can punch boulders into lava and shoot down huge mutated opponents while running and avoiding different obstacles at the same time. You have to control the amount of ammo you are carrying with you, you have to know all the hazards and dangers of going into a certain room, you have to know the ways in which you can defeat or avoid different opponents, such as lickers or Tyrant.
    The atmosphere of the game is what makes it so terrifying and unique. Going into the eastern part of RPD station was rather challenging and mentally difficult for me the first half of the game. And everything got especially tough whenever I had to quietly pass by lickers, as a single step made while running can cause them to instantly attack you and turn you into a bag of bones and muscles.
    Oh my Gosh, I cannot describe how much I love the music in this game. My two favorite tracks are "Expansion" (which plays during Claire's lab escape scenario) and "Looming Dread" (Hunk's theme). The music makes the game more dynamic and fast-paced.
    I can go on and on forever, that is why I am going to leave the rest of explanation to the people who played the original Resident Evil 2. I am trying to speak from the perspective of someone for whom the game is a totally fresh experience.
    Capcom, thank you very much for releasing this game!    … Expand

    A noobs experience with the seminal survival horror.

    I'll admit, I missed out on the Resident Evil craze first time round, I was never one for scaring myself and a sufferer of arachnophobia, neither conducive to playing a game like Resi. My first foray was 5, the action Resi, I played it all the way through in Co-Op, twice, and loved it. 6 never grabbed me.. my first experience with    A noobs experience with the seminal survival horror.

    My first foray was 5, the action Resi, I played it all the way through in Co-Op, twice, and loved it.
    6 never grabbed me.. my first experience with what I consider my first real survival horror came with The Evil Within, a game I feel is criminally underated, it gave me a taste for the genre and led me to play both EW2 and Resi 7, both excellent experiences treading the fine line between scares and thrills and keeping me engaged like few other genres can manage.

    On hearing that Resi 2 was being remade I was quite excited, with one large caveat, if I was gonna be facing RE engine spiders I was out...thankfully they were removed and I jumped in on release day.

    I was surprised to see a capcom game so well optimised and catered for on the PC, it ran beautifully at 4k maxed always maintaining a solid 60fps (RTX2080TI FE). I did not encounter a single bug during my 24 hours of playtime. Very impressive, and nice to see.

    Gameplay wise, this is another wonderful experience, I jumped straight in to my first play through with Leon, and enjoyed the relatively slow build up to tougher enemies and the sense of exploration and wtf moments you encounter as you get to know the Racoon City PD. I finished that first play through in around 14 hours which is longer then most but I am quite cautious and methodical in my play style. The game finished quite abruptly but to a satisfactory conclusion, I loved every minute with perhaps the only negative being the repetition of the relatively small game location, this is subjective however as I think it is also intentional, as with 7 the locations are a character all their own and getting to know them well can aid you in the later stages of the game.

    Before setting out on the initial play through, i was aware that many claimed you needed to play both Leon and Claire to experience the whole story, I was sceptical of this, and rarely retread games, especially without a long break in between, in the case of this game however as soon as my Leon (A) credits rolled I logged straight back in as Claire and was impressed with how differently the game plays when using her, locations are largely the same, with a couple of notable exceptions, but the order of events and enemies you face change up quite a bit, creating a fresh experience even on the second run.

    I finished up Claire's run with 24 hours total gameplay time and loved every single minute, I also received a more complete ending tying in both characters to the final scenes.

    A truly memorable gaming experience and one I may even go back to in a year or so and try the free ghost survivors DLC that capcom has, once again surprisingly provided free of charge to players.

    One of my favourite games of recent memory and a likely contender for my personal game of the year, even at this early stage and it comes highly recommended.    … Expand

No amount of ammo feels like it's enough. Whether you played the original or not, the feeling is preserved. Some scares happen exactly as they did in 98; some don't.

    I miss the character zapping from the original, and to be honest, the classic sound effects, music and menu effects should have came in the box rather than being DLC. Still, all of this feels like a nitpick and I can't give this anything but a 10 in good conscience.    … Expand

    A refreshing and well made remake of a classic.

    One of my biggest childhood memories is my uncle playing Resident Evil 2 with my dad and one of our neighbor, so i wanted to play the remake, i wasn't hyped at all due to my disappointment with another game, i thought that would be another blend game made just for sell... but damn, when i started playing i saw the love and the effort put    A refreshing and well made remake of a classic.

    The enemies are great, and i think that was a wise decision to cut some enemies from the game and adapt others, after all a remake doesn't need to be a 1 - 1 adaptation. The atmosphere is at its finest, sometimes you'll feel very scared and apprehensive, and other times on a adrenaline rush to survive or on the edge of your seat trying to survive. The soundtrack is amazing, putting emotions in you and helping the immersion to work. The controls and mechanics are modern which i loved so much, trying to put the series on a next level, and for me, worked completely. The puzzles are in a medium difficulty, which is good because the game is targeted to the mainstream public, so not so many people will find them too easy neither too hard. The Ending is a plus one, because i felt that it really shift your mood when you get there, all the tension that was built up through the game is ended there, giving you a great relief sensation. The design quality of the overall game is stunning, i don't want to spoil something, so i wont give details.

    I've only good said good thing about the game, and then you think, "what's up with this game? it has no flaws?", like everything is this world, it has, but is not THAT flaw, is that acceptable flaw which you'd wished it was different, but its okay. I took some time to say that and also separated of the paragraph above to show why it didn't impact the final score. So here it is. The plot... some article somewhere in the Internet, before the launch, gave the idea that the game would have two COMPLETELY distinct story lines, but when you play, they are distinct indeed, you go to places in a different order, the objectives of each character is different, and both of them have a unique side partner with a unique mission on a part of map only for them, but also you go to the routes never seeing almost never seeing each other and fight with the almost the same bosses that "die" in the same way which, plot-wise, is pretty contradictory, but this is just a mere detail, cause you still got different cut-scenes to the beginning of the fight with the bosses and some interactions.

    I already played +100 hours and im willing to play another, really made that child back there proud. For this and that i consider this game a masterpiece and a real 10/10.    … Expand

    The best remake of any game ever, and perhaps one of the best games. It stays true to the original while also adding in new features and gameplay. This game solidifies Resident Evil's return to the survival horror genre. Hopefully now developers will realize that there is still a strong demographic of players that are craving more classic survival horror games.

    Masterpiece of a game, the controls are much better than the original and the fixed camera from the old games is gone. Also there is free DLC, the Ghost Survivors. Even if you didn't play the original you will probably still enjoy this game. In the horror department after a while it's not very scary but its still eerie. 10 out of 10.

    I remember the day when Resident Evil 2 was released back then. But I never had a chance to finish the game, because I was too scared to play.

    This game is fantastic! It feels like I traveled back in time to play my favourite PS1 game, just without mourning about the graphics! :) It looks great, the changes to the original all make sense, the enemy and weapon balance is amazing! Every enemy is a threat and has it's own strategy to fight (or not to fight). I played it roughly 10 times nearly back to back.

    + High quality production in all aspects
    + Very enjoyable with a great replay value and lots of content.
    + Probably the best zombie game ever. The zombie design, details, animations and graphics are easily the best of all time.
    - The B scenarios could have been a bit more different.

    Still an incredible game and everyone should play it. 10/10

    The game is a MASTERPIECE which managed to be as good as the original even though it changed many aspects of the original story (which is great). Everything is so beautiful, even the feeling of walking the redone RPD is amazing. You can see from afar the affection that the developers put in such a classic game.

    Quando vejo uma nota 88 no metacritic, vejo o quanto esses novos "reviewers" são frescos ou querem que todo jogo tenha 40min. de cutscene e 10min. de gameplay, ou certamente é aquele saudosista que vive batendo na tecla de câmera fixa. Esse jogo está impressionante a cada ponto do mapa que você visita, dando aquela impressão: Eu já passei por esse lugar. Não tem como não se impressionar com a beleza gráfica da RE Engine e o clima de terror como há muito tempo não sentíamos na série Resident Evil em 3ª pessoa, pois o RE7 já conseguiu resgatar o survival que conhecemos lá em 2017.

    Esse jogo será o Game Of The Year de 2019, os jogos que serão lançados ao longo do ano, terá que ser excelentes para ter a mesma qualidade do Resident Evil 2. Espero muito que a CAPCOM continue nessa ascendente, pois seus últimos jogos são excelentes, e já fico na ansiedade de ver RE3, Dino Crisis, RE: Outbreaks e Operation Raccoon City (ORC que teve uma boa ideia, mas uma péssima execução) na RE Engine, mas o mais provável que aconteça, é a vinda do Resident Evil 8, que também fico na ansiedade.    … Expand

Tight inventory management, scarce ammo drops, zombies being hard to kill, etc. This all adds up with a    Holy **** I never got into RE before as it wasn't my type of game. Boy I was wrong, this is a masterpiece.

    I'll cut this review into 3 parts:

    1. Gameplay
    2. Story
    3. Replayability

    Gameplay:
    The gunplay in the game is extremely solid, with a great sense of survival horror. Tight inventory management, scarce ammo drops, zombies being hard to kill, etc. This all adds up with a great atmosphere especially in the RPD, the true star of the game. What helps making this atmosphere even more frightening is the music and sound design, while music isn't always there, the sound of zombies and their footsteps echoing through the halls are excellent. The lickers are back in full force, with these very tense moments when you sneak right past them. And of course, how can we forget Mr. X? This giant dude is gonna make you poop your pants. He's not really scary on his own, what does make him scary is his omnipresence throughout a part of the story, you can constantly hear his footsteps in the background coming closer and closer to you, so good. The boss fights, while not numerous, are very well executed. Birkin and his G-Virus are back in full force, he's been given so much love. These boss fights are tense and hard, as it's supposed to be with RE, scrambling for resources and making sure you can kill the boss and survive with the resources you have is such a good feeling. Definitely something they nailed. The game looks absolutely amazing, like wow, this **** look good.

    Story:
    RE2 follows both Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer and Claire Redfield in the harrowing journey through Raccoon City. There are A and B scenarios for both Leon and Claire, which follow each other like so, Leon A --> Claire B (not canon) and Claire A --> Leon B (canon). Both these story's in there A and B scenarios respectively are amazing, even though you do play mostly the same game, with a few minor differences (the side character of each story, Sherry for Claire and Ada for Leon). There's still some janky dialogue, mostly because they stayed true to the 1998 original. Also some cut content, but nothing that feels like there is something missing in the game. Overall, my first playthrough (Leon A) was about 8 hours long, add in all the other story's I ended up with 20 hours of story gameplay. Very good.

    Replayability:
    This game begs you to play it again on higher difficulty and with a better score, so you can unlock more stuff. You get infinite guns and challenge yourself to play the game like a real pro. There's definitely a lot of things to do in this game. Not to mention all of the extra DLC you get! The Ghost Survivors are a great addition that expand on the story of the game and give some insight as to what happened before or after you get to that point in Leon or Claire's story. You also unlock the 4th survivor mode once you finish the game, where you play as Hunk trying to escape RC with limited time and resources, such an adrenaline rush that gamemode was! The extra's in the menu is also super fun to look at.

    My final verdict: 10/10
    This remake is a masterpiece and sets the bar high for every remake Capcom is planning to make in this series, can't wait for RE1 to be remade like this!    … Expand

    First thing first: this remake of Resident Evil 2 is a masterpiece. This episode gathers the two best elements of the saga:

    1) the atmosphere. It's neither the pure action of RE4/5/6 (although I love RE4) nor the permanent terror of RE7. It is this thrilling anxiety, that plays with the perfect light and sound effects, this stress of not knowing what's gonna be behind this wall    First thing first: this remake of Resident Evil 2 is a masterpiece. This episode gathers the two best elements of the saga:

    1) the atmosphere. It's neither the pure action of RE4/5/6 (although I love RE4) nor the permanent terror of RE7. It is this thrilling anxiety, that plays with the perfect light and sound effects, this stress of not knowing what's gonna be behind this wall corner... Unlike RE7, jump scares are scarce, but this leaves room for this more subtle anxiety accompanying the player at every step.

    2) the "over-the-shoulder" view. Yes, I also kinda like the good old fixed angles sometimes but mostly because of nostalgia. This episode brillantly proves that you can have a flexible third person view and yet keep the core aspects of the game, i.e. the atmosphere and the survival.

    Game Design: perfect

    All aspects of the design are thought as a survival: apart from the classical limited inventory and reduced ammo compared to the number of mobs, the new elements of the gameplay greatly contribute. You'll discover it is sometimes surprisingly hard to hit a zombie, because the aim has an important spread unless you stand still for a few seconds, but also because zombie moves are erratic. Props to Capcom for managing to design zombies moves that both make them feel like real zombies, and serve the gameplay by making them hard to hit.

    The other mobs appearing later in the game also contribute to the great game design. Lickers, especially, are a crucial point of the gameplay, as they practically force you to walk (instead of running) in some areas. When you enter a corridor with a licker, zombies, and Mr.X running after you, the adrenaline rises... and you understand how well the game is designed.

    Level Design: awesome

    Speaking of design, this is a trait of the RE series: the level design of the police station (I'll talk later about the other places) is awesome. The map is huge, the layout of the keys, locked doors and other objects is thought to keep the player both tense and curious to progress at every single point of the game. You have to visit multiple times some areas (but usually it's because you got a new key, and your perspective on this area changes), and you can ignore some others that contain only "bonuses". But what is great is that the level design is so well thought that visiting these bonus areas is not just a matter of being a completist or not. Reaching them sometimes means having to overcome zombies, lickers or worse, and the risk and the ammo consumption this represents must be put in the balance together with the potential gains, making your choices highly strategical.

    And if you think the level desing is only "good", wait for when Mr. X comes into play. You will realise that the position of the doors leading from one wing of the police station to the other, the size of the corridors, the position of the lickers... everything is thought also to make the hunt with Mr. X one of the tensest moments the game.

    Mr. X

    He deserves his own paragraph. The cat-and-mouse game with Mr. X is to me the climax of the game. I don't want to spoil too much, but his AI is really good, his walking pace is very well calibrated to reinforce the fear he inspires, and the noise of his steps are both a source of stress and a key element to play the game around him. I just have one regret: there are a couple of rooms where he is programmed not to go. I know the game design was already complex enough not to have to think of how he could interfere with the player when dealing with a puzzle, but knowing there is a room nearby where he never goes kinda releases the anxiety of having him around sometimes.

    Yet, I repeat: this was for me the best moment of the game, the core of what is survival-horror.

    A few cons though...

    1) Just like RE0, and I would dare to say a bit like RE1 as well: the quality of the level design decreases as the game goes further. Of course, it is difficult to rival the level design of the police station, but the levels of the sewers and the NEST are far more linear and predictable in my opinion. No more room with 10 doors with 3 different key symbols, but mostly long linear corridors and the end of which you know in advance which key you will find. The level design there is not bad per se : it is just a little underwhelming after spending a few hours in the police station.

    2) Again, just like the other episodes of Resident Evil, the scenario is full of promises in the first hours of the game, but as you progress through the game, you realise that not much more than the few core, predictable elements are revealed, with no big twist, no little detail hidden here and there to look after in the next episodes... a little disappointing.

    This remake of Resident Evil 2 was arguably one of the most anticipated games in the last years, and although it is difficult to match the expectations when they're so high, Capcom did it brillantly. Congrats.    … Expand

    RE2 is a game brimming with care of it's creators and it is just of highest quality. As the best games in the franchise do, this one is full of content, heavily replayable and extremely fun. The story and gameplay changes in remake go a long way to fix the issues in the original and to make Resident Evil 2 a true masterpiece

    This was perfect. It is how I dream every remake should be like. Unfortunately, they didn't follow the same path while remaking Resident Evil 3, so that was dissappointing.

    I as a fan of Resident Evil 4, I will say that RE2 Remake does not look like old part 2 (1998) at all, except for the locations, characters and plot. And so a lot of mechanics are taken from modern Resident Evil, the game is very similar to my favorite part 4. So my rating is 10/10

    Claire and Ada are both **** hot. The game was pretty good too. Mr. X was too scary not to be scary and the inventory management didn'tr really do much beside making you go and get **** and go back and put it in your ****ty **** chest. 10/10 tho

    The graphics and the creative design are the main features here. Inventory management is a mini-game inside the game that kept me compulsively optimizing the space and making decisions about which ITEMS to keep or store. There is a ton of incentives to keep playing the game. After completing the 1st and 2nd run with both characters, I got a cheap DLC to activate all unlocks. I was done with the game by that time, but I kept coming back. Playing as Claire with the military custom, made the whole experience more real for me, as a Female Civilian blasting her way when on places where many trained security forces died was a hard sell for starters. But that military custom with the STARS patch on it made sense for me, and the infinite ammo MP5 and Handgun helped me to replay the game several times without grinding for bullets and ITEMS.

    I have like 120+ playtime hours on STEAM on this game, given it's a linear single-player story, that is a LOT! And that's indicative of the replay value CAPCOM throw at this package.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the older RE2 which came out way back in 1998. I'm really not a veteran of the Resident Evil franchise, I never really played them back in the day, but this game is absolutely awesome.

    As of 2020 (to me) this is best remake ever, even tho final fantasy VII remake was really good, i'm just huge RE fan, so my vote goes to this. If any remake can surpass this, it would be RE 4 Remake.

    Resident Evil 2 (2019) is perfect example how to Remake a video game. Every company should learn from this game. Hopefully Resident Evil 4 Remake will be even better, because that's my favorite of whole RE series and RE4 is generally better and more interesting game than RE2.

I am doing a complete run of all the Resident Evil games and as much as I enjoyed the ones leading to this addition to the series, I am thoroughly enjoying RE2 even more. The graphics are exceptional, controls with well enough precision, story compelling, fun additional content, a good assortment of weapons, and zombie butt kicking that measures off the charts with fun.

    This game has a great deal of replay value, with content and variations that only playing again can you visit and experience. The story continues to expand with each playthrough, up to two runs for each Lean and Claire. Once I completed my play through of all the RE games released, I might find myself back at this one for some zombie crushing fun.

    The character hopping in mid-story is very enjoyable. The extra segment characters (little girl with Claire and woman with Leon) have skills and play style requirements unique to them, and enjoyably implemented. It took me 3 tries to get the additional achievement for the women, but only 2 for the little girl, apart from the one acquired for completing their segment. Even still, I did them both an extra time after for good measure.

    I have yet to get a grade of S+, but getting S is relatively easy. The controls are worlds better than RE Zero and RE Original, which is to be expected by the basis of their release. Even so, I find myself enjoying being able to aim and move with a much greater degree of control. The characters animations in these actions are also brilliantly done.

    In all, Resident Evil 2 is a superb game, and I highly recommend it. The gore factor might put off the squeamish, but it will delight the zombie slayer in you.    … Expand

    Basically perfect remake. They did best they could with what they had. Original had really good base for locations and bosses, so they just took what was there and made it better in every way.

    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.

    The remake of Resident Evil 2 succeeded and can’t be criticized for much. Converting the original game into a modern form sets the bar for all future remakes really high and shows how it should be done. [Issue#293]
