    We might never get a remake of a resident evil game that tops this one. It really felt like a resident evil game.

    -Ni se molestaron en hacer la mítica escena cuando aparece el Licker o la caída del helicóptero, el aparato se estrella y Leon si apenas reacciona haciendo chistes estúpidos cuando se encuentra (por única vez) con Claire.

    -Agregaron la posibilidad de crear munición mezclando pólvoras (algo que le pertenece al RE3) por lo menos Jill tenia la decencia de usar una herramienta para crear las balas.

    -Pésimo diseño de Mr X, y el hecho de que te siga a todos lados no es "aterrador" es molesto.

    -La segunda pelea contra Birkin es una copia barata de la lucha que tiene Claire contra el Tyrant en el avión rumbo a la Antártida en Code Veronica...lamentable.

    -Todo el gameplay con Ada es ridículo por que no aporta nada, en el original Ada mantenía una conversación de la mas interesante y reveladora con Annette ahora no.

    -La historia al no complementarse la empobrece, por ej: en el original había que sintetizar una vacuna para salvar a Sherry; ahora basta con tomarla en lugar del virus(gameplay de Leon).

    -El jefe Irons era sombrío y macabro, ahora es estúpido y patético.

    -Los RE nunca se caracterizaron por tener buenos puzzles, pero esta vez se les fue la mano. No solo hay que buscar X item en lugares ultra imbéciles como el componente electrónico en el campanario, si no que también hay que resolver un puzzle.. o sea todo se resume a encontrar y resolver, encontrar y resolver, es estúpido.

    -Si no jugaste al original es probable que en un principio no sepas que son y de donde vienen las criaturas de las alcantarillas (algo que no pasaba en el original).

    -No recrea de ninguna manera la atmósfera que generaba el original... la banda sonora esta ausente.

    Si me pongo a pensar, seguro que le sigo encontrando defectos, estos son los que recuerdo ahora.

    -Un juego decente, pero no es la remake que un juego tan legendario como RE2 merece.    … Expand

    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    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

    Much like RE:Remake, this title effectively captures the satisfaction of slowly and sequentially going through objectives and planning out your little adventures.

    Main issues, Mr X and the William are outrageously dull and annoying to deal with. Mr X is scary for a whole 3 seconds when he first shows up, after that he is just a time waster. None of the boss fights are tense, scary or challenging in a satisfying way. While these issues are fine during the first playthrough, they really hurt my motivation to finish my subsequent playthroughs, knowing these tedious affairs will be my reward for making it through the acts. Lacking boss fights has been an issue with RE games and this title doesn't rectify this unfortunately.    … Expand

A CAPCOM acertou em cheio com esse jogo, não dá vontade de parar de jogar, e vale salientar que, o jogo está muito bem otimizado, esse jogo é só qualidade, não vi nenhum defeito nessa maravilha. quem dá nota baixa ou 'não recomendo', simplesmente não tem coração, kkk

    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

    Resident Evil 2 is quite a gem. An unexpected one for me as I'm not normally one for survival, shooters, or horror so you can imagine I was quite surprised to find such a compelling experience in this remake of a two-decade old game. Since I picked this up I've completed the game a handful of times and my latest attempts scored me an S+ on the hardest difficulty with both playableResident Evil 2 is quite a gem. An unexpected one for me as I'm not normally one for survival, shooters, or horror so you can imagine I was quite surprised to find such a compelling experience in this remake of a two-decade old game. Since I picked this up I've completed the game a handful of times and my latest attempts scored me an S+ on the hardest difficulty with both playable characters; Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield.

    Now, as someone who isn't a diehard fan of the series let me just say this: Dropping the tank controls and fixed camera angles that I remember from the oldest entries in the series was the move that convinced me to give this a shot. From there what developed was a bit of rollercoaster in terms of my enjoyment. I was immediately enjoying the action, the gore, the gritty and dark nature of the setting. As an adult male I really shouldn't have a problem with the dark - but this game gave me one. I couldn't bring myself to play this game solo in the dark, and at one point I even had my brother play for an hour or two with me just so I could make some progress.

    The gunplay was and is what reels me into this game every time I boot it up. It is just so satisfying to shoot zombies in their stupid faces and to feel like you're permanently removing an obstacle that is in your way. I've never personally shot a gun in my life, but everything about shooting one in RE2 feels satisfying. You cannot imagine the shameless glee you feel not just the first time but everytime you 'crown' a zombie, which is when you score a critical headshot that makes their heads explode in a mess of blood and gore. Parts of your developing arsenal allow for a higher success rate than others with this, but even the first weapon the game hands you has the potential to trigger this effect.

    Part of the reason for my slightly conservative scoring of this game that I've now drawn hours and hours of entertainment from is a selection of elements that may well be agreeable to you. I know that my issue with one particular enemy in this game is one that most people will find inspiring and an inviting challenge.

    So I personally deduct a few points for the elements of this game that excluded me from enjoying it for a while. The horror and the cheap jumpscares weren't as much of a problem as I perhaps made them out to sound like initially. While they did get me to put the game down for days and even weeks, they wouldn't prove problematic in the long run. I eventually overcame them and in retrospect I can enjoy them for what they want to be on the first few times you come across them.

    The biggest road block to my personal progress with the game came about a third or halfway through. One particular enemy is introduced that immediately changes the game from what can be a slow strategical uncovering of the map and all of its features to a frantic chase for the next solution to whatever puzzle is currently gating your advance. If you are a veteran of the series and the genre, I'm sure you didn't have my reaction to this but I simply quit the game and didn't touch it again for a few months.

    I was trying to figure the game out on my own, and being as new as I was to working under pressure in the way that only true survival horror can deliver I couldn't deal with the steamrolling of my otherwise functional strategy of playing it safe and slow. I barely had an understanding of the map, so adding a constant and ever-present threat was enough to have me give up.

    So how was the game salvaged for me, and not just that but turned into such a playground again that I ended up completing the game on the hardest difficulty? Well, memes were my rescue. Months into what I thought was my final dismissal of the game I came across a set of memes that ridiculed this one enemy type that washed away my fears. Suddenly, I felt an itch for the game again. And whenever I came across this enemy I would regurgitate this meme telling myself that I would be fine, and that really it was just another puzzle to solve. One that wasn't even the timer that I once saw it as, but rather a puzzle in motion that could become predictable through study.

    Finally, I am not a fan of campy elements in story telling. I prefer a focus on maintaining immersion rather than delivering fourth wall breaks. I appreciate realistic and relatable characters over stereotypical charicatures. Now, I know that Resident Evil has had elements of camp all along, so I'm not raking RE2 over the coals for something that surprised me in any way. It just detracted from my experience, and one character in particular is so loaded with this problem that it overflows. This was the second point of this game that made me put down the controller and skip it for a while.

    But this IS a game worth a look whether you are new like me or a seasoned vet. Now I look forward to seeing what Capcom does with the sequel.    … Expand

    The game is not bad. Great atmosphere, good graphics. But this is not a masterpiece. Passage for Leon is quite short. And when you pass the second time for Claire, then almost all the puzzles and tasks, as in the first passage. This is terribly boring! I'm so sick of it that I threw a second walk in the middle.

    Absolutely a contender for my 2019 GOTY, and a game I can't recommend enough.    … Expand

A must buy for anyone with a high-end PC to appreciate the excessive attention to detail. Best thing for a newcomer is to not search the internet about this game before playing. Keep it all a surprise and you won't be disappointed.

    The best remake ever made.

    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.

    RE2 remake is not only a tribute to the saga, but also a teaching of how to make a remake. The only downside of this remake is the narrative dissonance that the two campaigns present, something that the original did better.

    Resident Evil 2 is one of the best examples on how to properly remake a 20 year old classic bestselling game, by embracing what worked back in the day, see what could be improved and also adding a lot, and I mean really a lot, of new stuff so it still feels interesting and fresh, but also leaving the player with a feeling of familiarity, especially if one has played the original game.Resident Evil 2 is one of the best examples on how to properly remake a 20 year old classic bestselling game, by embracing what worked back in the day, see what could be improved and also adding a lot, and I mean really a lot, of new stuff so it still feels interesting and fresh, but also leaving the player with a feeling of familiarity, especially if one has played the original game.

    The RE Engine has proven to be very well performing on its previous game, RE 7, and this time around in RE 2 it really shines. We have a very nice Physically Based Rendered assortment of materials and shaders, with a lot of wet surfaces that look amazing, and performance is really, really good on a wide array of PC configurations, with a decent level of scalability, especially on the GPU side of things. The engine seems to make decent usage of 4-6 core CPUs, but it’s usually GPU limited, which normally is the ideal situation when it comes to good looking PC games.

    The amount of customizable settings we have in this PC version of the game is also immense, from FOV adjustments to nice mouse sensitivity sliders for camera and aim modes (although there is a slight amount of negative acceleration, very little), and keybinds are mostly fully customizable with the exception of a couple of hardcoded keys like ENTER or DEL; I am left handed, so I use the right side of the keyboard a lot, around the arrow keys (used for movement), so I was able to play with no issues with my usual left handed binds, minus DEL and ENTER but the game doesn’t really need so many keys, so I managed. Gamepad works fine in the game, you can walk slower with it than with the keyboard, in case you need a little more immersion, but it’s not mandatory. There’s this bug I guess that makes it impossible to open doors when in aiming mode, walking with the keyboard, while you can when using the gamepad, but it’s not game breaking and you can still walk normally without aiming, open it a little, then switch to aim mode and It’ll get pushed slowly if you want, so no big deal there either.

    An important thing to note about settings is Brightness calibration, you must abolutely do the steps to calibrate this, if you want the game to look as the developers intended, otherwise it'll have this grey'ish haze all over the screen, and dark zones won't look good enough. If you cannot complete the third step on the calibration menu (make the left typewriter disappear), that means you either didn't select the proper MIn/Max levels earlier, or your screen needs some serious tuning and adjusting of brightness and gamma, so better get on that then too.

    And then we have the new gameplay mechanics, like knives and other sub-weapons, the new puzzles and the revamp of old classic ones, which will certainly make you smile, and of course the new way of doing the classic A/B runs, in this case called “2nd run”, which like the original game, it will tell us the story from the other character’s perspective, around the same time the other character did his/her stuff, more or less, with some clever variations added so the gameplay feels balanced but still challenging enough. In summary, to fully complete the story, we still need to do both scenarios, whether Leon first / Claire second, or vice versa…that’s your choice. Completionists will want to do all four of them, and the game records all these different combinations so yeah, it’s nice that the feature is still there, albeit a bit different.

    Of course, the main change from the original, is the camera and I have to say it really fits this new imagining of the game, it simply works well, really well actually and in a fully rendered 3D world with lots of cool materials and very detailed enemies to mutilate and shoot, it would've been bad if the old fixed camera was used, or the tank controls too, which usually work well together but not so much when separated like it was the case in RE 4.

    Overall this game feels like a very solid GOTY candidate so early in the year, which is amazing. This game has become one of my favorite RE games of all time, because it demonstrates that the survival horror genre, which the original games were paragon of, can still be brought to modern platforms, with improved techniques, amazing sound design (and boy, is the sound design great here, it even has Dolby Atmos and Binaural…really great), and new ways of solving old puzzles or see them reimagined.

    I am ready for more Resident Games like this, Capcom, thank you for the great job on this game, made for the fans of survival horror, and for the gamers in general. Capcom, you did it, this is how you remake a game, period, and that means a well earned 10/10.    … Expand

    + 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just Finished This game and I could not wait to shout it's praises from the high heavens. I was itching for an experience that RE 2 provided me and then some.

    First things first 'Claire FTW...' I feel I enjoyed Claire's second run play through a bit more than Leon's, but I am certain it was because of the grenade launcher as Claire felt like an absolute bad ass, rightly so being the sister of Chris. Kinda makes sense.This game did for me in regards to Claire what RE 4 did in regards to Leon. i.e; made me love Claire and recognize her as a strong character.
    This is not saying Leon's Campaign was any less of a positive experience in itself, since I did not know what to expect around the next turn during the entirety of my first run, I had knots in my stomach. Really really fun knots.
    Capcom was in a bit of a slump but seem to be making a much needed comeback in the past few years.

    Please Give me more of THIS Capcom.... Experiences like the one RE 2 Remake provides is one of the reasons I fell in Love with Gaming. It feels legendary.

    Though one small gripe I have is both Leon and Claire's Play through is, it is more of their own thing rather than two sides of the same coin. I would have loved to see both the First and Second Run intertwine more, with our protagonists to meet/run into each other than cut-scenes and a proper parallel story line. The interconnecting stories and how it affected the world was the only thing I actually liked from RE 6 and it should have been carried over here.
    But as I said it is a minor nitpick in the face of the absolute gorgeous visuals, competent story line and downright amazing game play I have experienced.

I think it's best to demonstrate the gameplay to the player now. So many details in the models. Graphic engine is really smooth, detailed and optimized. Loved the variations of the zombies (if I'm not wrong 12 different male zombies and 4 female ones, which is a great detailing.) Loved the model depart system applied to the zombies so that the limbs can fall with each shot. Leon looks a little bit like a puppy with his voice. Claire also looks good but a little bit chubby on the cheekbones. I'm just critizing these for a better visual/performance. I think Leon and Claire should share more moments and cooperate more in the gameplay, yet if we play second-run it automatically ignores the first run for the other character, which is odd. I think Ada should have more role in the game since we will not be able to see her soon. They really put some great effort in her and she looks great in this remake. My first play was long (about 10 hours). I have tried to investigate everyplace and confused going to the places to solve the problems in the map so I had to go over like 3-4 times in my first run. The other runs were pretty faster for me, except the different riddles. (My last run was about 2 hours) Anyway, I think it's a little bit short game but still loved the visual greatness, the nostalgia, iconic characters coming back to life again such as Leon, Claire and Ada, also seeing Mr.X was great. Looking forward to the next game. CAPCOM did such a fantastic job with the whole models, textures, game engine, gameplay, mocaps (especially for the storytelling). They screwed things up in RE 6 but I think they put some effort and tried to fix their sins in the recent games such as RE7. I hope to play RE 3 Remake and RE 8 when they come out.

    It's decent game and decent remake, but sadly it's a bit boring and tedious and combat is just not great.

    Basically the story could be written in 3 sentences - it's extremely short. The game is then extended by forcing you to run back and forth for keys and similar things that enable you moving to the next area, rinse and repeat while not adding to the story at all in between - which makes game drag and feel tedious and boring a lot of the time.

    The we have combat which is just piss poor bullet sponge shooting range. If upgrades shotgun at point blank doesn't always blow the head off for basic zombie - it says it all and basic handgun - oh boy - it's 5-8 headshots to kill anything.. Then there are few bosses which also suck - but it's hard to describe them without spoilers - all I can tell you basically kite them around loading all ammo you have into them to then execute in a silly way - because someone thought it's fun but IT'S NOT.

    The game is very atmospheric and climatic (but sadly not scary at all) overall and brings back that old school game nostalgia, but sorry - it's not 10/10 or even 8/10. Anyone saying that way is straight up lying to your face because he is massive fanboy of RE series most likely. It's not bad game, but it's not as amazing as others say. I'm leaving 7/10 which is what it's worth at most, tho probably not even that.    … Expand

    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.

    damn it, the tension. the tension is real, every **** second, its so cool. but whatever happenned t the shooting the brain kill on zombies? you need like 9 headshots to kill them now. thats frustrating. and the timelines of leon and claire are just wierd, it could be less of an a parallel universe, it would have been more interesting. but the game is still solid, and despite the less thandamn it, the tension. the tension is real, every **** second, its so cool. but whatever happenned t the shooting the brain kill on zombies? you need like 9 headshots to kill them now. thats frustrating. and the timelines of leon and claire are just wierd, it could be less of an a parallel universe, it would have been more interesting. but the game is still solid, and despite the less than 10 hours of gameplay (more of course, if you do at least the 4 runs) it is a really good game.… Expand

    No esperaba que fuera tan bueno, recrearon muy bien RE2, y lo ajustaron para que se sintiera una nueva experiencia aunque ya se conociera la historia. El juego esta muy bien optimizado, que incluso puede funcionar con gráficos integrados. No se esperaba que Capcom hiciera tan buen trabajo, que ha convertido esta entrega en uno de los mejores remake de la historia.

    Los puntos malos son los recorridos A y B, es decir, no es malo que los agregaran pero no están bien acoplados, con respecto a lo que se hace en el A no hay coherencia con lo que pasa en el B, además de que eliminaron los encuentros ocasionales entre Leon y Claire.    … Expand

    Zombie's animation, sound and mechanics are awesome.
    Over-the-shoulder camera fits like a glove.
    Good sound design.
    Good atmosphere.

    A bit short... and they should have included the ink ribbons mechanics on "Normal" difficulty.

    Overall, amazing game and a excellent Remake.

    A fantastic remake that takes the original and grounds it more in the world of survival horror and tension. It follows the same beats as the original, including the progression of more bizarre and terrifying monsters to fight with heavier weaponry, or flee to safety - either way you always feel unsettled.

    After the first playthrough the game completely changes as it no longer has the fear factor, but now become an incredibly engaging obstacle course to master and get the highest ranking on the most difficult settings. Great ingame rewards are given such as concept art, models and costumes, as well as the 'treat yourself' infinite ammo weapons which is the dessert to a very satisfying horror action experience.

    Mr. X- If he was around anymore then he was I'd list him as a negative but lucky it didn't reach that point at least for me.

    All in all I'd give it an 8.5 if I could but I'll round down to 8 to balance out all the 10s that don't point out any of the games flaws.    … Expand

    Así es como se hacen las cosas, esa sensación de estar escaso de todo y tener a muertos vivientes soplándote en la nuca en vez de sentirte inmortal porque sabes que te atiborrarán de municiones y hierbas es la sensación que necesitaba en un Resident Evil, haciendo grande este título otra vez.

    Resident Evil 2 reinvigorates the old style with modernized mechanics and features that work perfectly together. As a result, the tension always rises, and the game seldom ceases to exceed expectations.

    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.

    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]
