    ill be there you once again play as either Leon Kennedy or Claire Redfield during a deadly outbreak in record city with hordes of zombies and other grotesque monsters unleashed throughout the city the two protagonists will experience their series of harrowing encounters throughout the larger story Resident Evil 2 is very much a game about localization as your resources get dwindle and the monsters become more dangerous the pressure is constantly increased as the game progresses even the smallest of victories can feel like a major win in Resident Evil 2.
    After finishing the first playthrough you can follow up with the second scenario allowing you to see the other side of the larger story through each scenario largely covers the same place and ground they won’t impact the other what makes them worthwhile are the different encounters and game plots that happen for particular characters won’t see for the other game’s.
    This remake is an understated survivalist approach from the original main games and along with the best and responsive controls for many locations and their layout and similar save for the new area and a different monster to deal with the events therein are different when recognizable scenes happen they often play out in radically different ways though early games in the series have a reputation for coming off as melodramatic the remake presents a more believable plot that maintains its poise its also propped up by some impressive writing and strong performances to help convey a palpable sense of urgency and despair some of the games more poignant moments are given to minor characters including the doomed police lieutenant Marvin Brenner.

    In one of the part more tense encounter you may cross in path with the tyrant an opposing force of nature and a threat that activity stalks you this dynamic adds serious pressure to certain situations making some of the common foes you’ve gotten handle of become genuine threats once again though the tyrant is an effective stressor during key moments which can make getting the best of its all the more satisfying there are times where it can disrupt the overall pacing this is especially frustrating when you’re trying to accomplish minor objectives in crowded spaces which should be tense encounters can sometimes become annoying exercises in trying to lure it away sometimes taking advantage of the tyrants rather limited AI to do just that while the remake often keeps seeing serious its not all doom and gloom in addition to occasional reference that break the tension there’s also a suite of unlockable content catered to hardcore fans including the classic outfits for both Leon and Claire after completing the campaign for both characters the bonus mode starring fan favorites hunk and tofu will unlock these timed encounters allow for a chance to cut loose battling against hordes of monsters without the worry from the largest survival horror mechanics from the original game its not only a stellar from the main game but its simply and strong horror game that gives anxiety inducing and goosebumps’ in some situations and some of the series finest entries but above all the remake is an impressive game for the fact that it gives all in one pure survival horror game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing remake. I also didn't play original RE 2 but I watched the playthrough.
    It's truly fascinating, how they reworked all rooms and areas from static camera view to 3rd person view. I love it. Great graphics, story, characters.
    I have to say, that Mr. X is much better than Nemesis because he just slowly walks towards you and that is way more terrifying.
    Incredibly great game overall.

    The atmosphere was always the strength of the game and here it is not an exception.
    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

    I didn't even like the original, or the first RE game, back then.
    Thought it was already behind the times back then, if only for the weird static camera angles.
    Finally got remade and done properly, as a third person game, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    Resident Evil 2 answered the question of the remakes with a really good example of what people associate to the saga in terms of survival horror. The gameplay is near perfect and the redesign of the classic of 1998 comes into one of the best games of the year.

    Resident Evil is a series that passed me by when I was a kid and the series was at its peak. I played one of the early games back in the day but never finished it because I struggled with the controls and camera. I decided to try out Resident Evil 2 because I saw a playthrough on YouTube and I’m glad I did.
    The game has received a massive Graphical overhaul and although it stays true to the original game there is a whole new section and monster to deal with whilst the tension and atmosphere feel fresh. I’ve never played a game with such a sense of hopelessness before as my resources dwindle.

    You can play through RE2 with either Leon or Claire and whilst both playthroughs will take place in the same setting there are differences to each. It’s well worth playing through both possibly multiple times. Zombies are very well done in RE2 as are the rest of the monster roster with varying degrees of difficulty and ways of bringing them down. The quiet moments of the game get your heart pounding as you edge your way through the darkness. The narrative is well done and whilst it maintains some of the cheesiness of the originals it feels very up to date in this remake.
    RE2 look stunning. The dark areas are proper dark, and the map is filled with detail. The animations are fluid and believable and the map in general just feels believable. The puzzles are meaningful and the added stress of worrying about the resident ghoulies really sees you making some funny errors even in the simplest of tasks. The 3rd person camera feels great and the character models nicely detailed. Performance wise RE2 never put a foot wrong.
    Playthrough on the normal difficulty took me between 7 and 8 hours for each character and I definitely see replay value as I am sure I’ll be playing through again. Capcom show here how a remake should be done and I hope they give some of their other games similar treatment.

    However, the base of the script is maintained, bringing back the great history (the canonical) that had the original of 1998.
    The new additions could have been better worked and the DLC, in some way, have made them canonical and not a kind of "speedrun" and "collection of deaths" and little else.

    A well implemented, fun and addictive gameplay.
    The visceral action is perfect.
    The game is difficult, so yes, as in the classics, we must preserve at all costs the already scarce ammunition that we find.

Must admit, how well this game handles difficulty, no matter what did you choose, the game always presents you with the need of managing every last bit of your resource, thinking about shooting that one enemy or running off, healing up now or leaving it for a grimmer situation and more stuff like that.

    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.

    An absolute Gem of a beloved classic.

    The 2019 remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2 is superbly done. Stunning graphics thanks to the RE engine, a creepy atmosphere and good voice acting make this one of the best remakes i have played. While i think that the later part of the game is not as good as the police station and it is less scary than the fixed screen classic, we can applaud Capcom for improving an already great base game.

    While this is not my favorite resident evil (IMO nothing tops RE4), RE2 remake is a must-play for not only RE fans but any serious multi-genre gamer. It's a high quality, well-structured game that sums up what you should expect from a survival/horror title and I assure you finishing it will be a satisfying experience.

    Thanks CAPCOM, very cool!

    No but seriously... Maybe one of the best RE's to this date. It's scary, it has that nostalgic feel if you're looking for that but it still feels like a fresh game. If you enjoyed Resident Evil VII, you will probably enjoy this too. Especially if you like the puzzle elements.

    TLDR: Is good game

    Resident Evil 2 no deja de ser un remake, pero tampoco un enorme trabajo de adaptación y, sobre todo, renovación. Mejor dicho, Capcom innova en cómo remasterizar un juego. El matiz resulta muy distinto al de la obra original, sin salirse ni un segundo de su intención primera.

    El compás del avance es excelente. El viaje desde un ambiente seguros a otro destila incertidumbre. La generación de empatía con los protagonistas se profundiza en diálogos y scripts. Los zombies surgen destrozados pero amenazantes. La propia comisaría expone algo único.

    La segunda entrega de la serie recibe una transformación que, casi 21 años después, la colocan nuevamente en el podio del gaming. Si fuesen películas, la de 1998 representaría formato clásico con planos definidos que van construyendo escenas. La actual sería el redescubrimiento de una forma de narrar continua: aunque menos purista, deviene más cercana al horror que solo un juego sabe contar.

    It is quite an work of art in a way, the producer didn't cut any corners and brought to light one of the best horror survival games to date.

    Bad:
    The difficulty is horrible. The game play has absolutely no mercy for you. Everything you do has to be planed to the tinniest bit. Every mistake you make and get over, it will turn back to bite you, so hard that you will probably have to restart the game or reload a very old save. For instance if you don't use the wooden boards on the windows cleverly, you will have big difficulties in getting past the zombies further in the game. If you don't manage to save the ammo, you'll end up restarting the game. Even on assisted mode the game is still very difficult. Every move you make on the map, has to have at least two calculated possibilities until you make it. You'll have to save and reload a hundred times to pass a certain boss/situation.

    If you are the meticulous type and you enjoy a challenge, then this game is for you. Every other normal human should probably buy something else. For me it was a no go, because there was more stress then pleasure in this game while playing it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is great. It's a must play. You will discover what makes this game a 'must play' while you play it.
    However, I felt that was given too much importance for secondary characters like Ada and Sherry in a non sense way. The relationship between main and secondary characters was forced and rushed. For instance, Leon meets a japanese woman in the sewers full of monsters and kiss her. This is weird and makes no sense. Another point is that the puzzles was too easy; I personally think that should have more complex puzzles, and not just 'pick a key and unlock the door that contains another key that unlock another door'.

    I like what they did with records and the rewards for completing them. Concept art pieces look awesome and of course after speedrunning it over 16 times, playing with infinite weapons every now and then is also quite fun.

    Literally, the only reason the score isn't a 10 is that I wasn't a huge fan of the dlc's Ghost Survivors. I liked the stories and all but not the gameplay. Wasn't my favorites to be honest, however, I liked playing AS those characters.

    Another big + for me is the fact that modding is a thing in the game, making sure the community is involved in creating extra content. For example, being able to play as Jill replacing the Claire model or Mr.X being replaced by a S.T.A.R.S repeating Nemesis. I just love that. Also quite a few jokes in there like the beach versions for Leon and Mr.X.

    The game is solid and scared me in the first few playthroughs and still sometimes gets me when the zombies have moved to ''not arranged'' positions and just pop up.

    После прохождения шестой части , я долго ждала возвращения Леона Кеннеди в играх серии. И мои ожидания полностью оправдались.
    Игра великолепна. Всё в ней прекрасно от геймплея до графики. Атмосферные локации, хорошая проработка уровней до самых мелочей, реалистичная, будто взятая из видео внешность персонажей, объемные звуки, экшен и чуть ужаса - всё это определенно присутствует в этом переиздании.
    Игра не дает расслабиться, почувствовать себя в безопасности. Даже некогда, как мы думаем, точки сохранения, где мы уверены, что не получим какого-то вреда, становятся такими же опасными; как и все остальные помещения. Привет, Тиран, Марвин!
    В игре так же имеются загадки, без прохождения которых вы не двинетесь дальше по сюжету. Они не сложные, логичные и вполне решаемые, не с первого раза, так точно со второго или третьего.
    Самой интересной локацией для меня стала самая первая - полицейский участок. Он действительно соответствовал хорору. Дальше всё покатилось больше к перестрелкам, но это отнюдь не минус. Появлялось новое оружие, новые монстры.
    Наиграв 10 часов, я закончила компанию за Леона и сразу же перешла к компании Клэр. И тут началось разочарования...Из-за которых я не смогла поставить максимальный балл этой игре. Компания за Клэр начинается точно так же как из-за Леона, я знаю, что дальше будет ответвление, которое будет разительным образом отличаться от компании за Леона, но начало такое же и загадки тоже. Это меня расстроило и я уже не посчитала интересным проходить компанию за Клэр.
    Дополнительные режимы, сделанные разработчиками разнообразны и даже драматичны. Они привносят еще положительных эмоций от игры.
    В общем, все мои ожидания оправдались. Я получила то, что хотела: красавчика Леона с прокачанной моделькой, текстурами. Я насладилась сюжетом, его поворотами и любовной линией. Определенно, игра доставила мне удовольствие.
    В общем 9 Леонов из 10.
    Теперь ждем ремастер 3 части, либо вообще, 8 часть.

    After the commercial success of Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2 brings back that primal fear of zombies that has been lacking from the series. While the black mold of RE7 is one thing to fear, as well as familial insanity, this brings it back to basics, and shows us just how terrifying the zombies of old can be.

The way you will feel how you get stronger and stronger because of the inventory you are getting through the story, how you go on opening different paths and connecting them making shortcuts, the boss fights. This game is a master piece and I am glad it has gotten the response it deserves.

Acabou que eu zerei ele no mesmo dia! Há tempos um jogo não me prende assim, principalmente quando se trata de campanha.

    Os gráficos são lindíssimos. Reflexos, texturas, modelo dos personagens, tudo aqui é muito bem feito, e o melhor: é incrivelmente otimizado. Meu setup empurrava +100fps em todos os momentos, e para não ter uma experiencia ruim no meu 144hz, travei em 100 e não tive problemas de fluidez pelo resto do game. Fluidez insana e nada de quedas!

    A gameplay é bem travada. Apenas atacamos com armas de fogo, exceto em situações de contato, e é esse mesmo o objetivo do jogo. Este survival horror fará com que economize sua munição ao máximo.

    O áudio é espetacular. Binaural funciona muito bem e a equipe de desenvolvimento deu muita atenção a detalhes que fazem toda a diferença pra quem joga no fone.

    I've first played this game with my uncle when I was 5. Now seeing it remaked, it's so much fun. Firstly I loved how they integrated the RE 4's shoulder view to the characters. 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. Well done.

The second run is never my style since I hate to replay games as soon as i finished them. I know it has some different parts and slightly different story but all in all it has a lot of the scenery recycled. To me, that is a downside but I can see why people like the different perspectives of the playthroughs.
    Other than that, I have no complains whatsoever. It was a really good game.

    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.

    Шикарный ремейк, шикарная атмосфера, классные зомби, импакт от стрельбы, интересно исследовать мир, жаль только битвы с боссами выглядят так себе, ну и Тиран просто шикарен)

    This game It exceeded my expectation as a remake, since the original was a masterpiece, i was scared they can't reach the bar that high, but i was wrong this is the best remake in game history, also the best resident evil game, now i hope they remake Code Veronica and 3.

    Going into the Resident Evil 2 remake I didn't have very high expectations. I havn't played that much of the previous Resident Evil games and was expecting this one to be a 7 at best that fans were raving over because fanboys be fanboys. I'm happy to say that I couldn't be more wrong. The game looks and sounds amazing. The puzzles, although quite simple, were still enjoyable.

They made the guns feel like they pack a punch while also making zombies hard to kill, avoiding the pitfall of making the guns feel like they're shooting pellets. My only complaint is that I personally had some stuttering issues (although most people say the game runs like a dream so its probably a problem on my end). Amazing game that went above and beyond my expectations. Definitely one of the best of 2019! Expand

    Absolutely fantastic game. I never played the original (I was only 5 when it released), but have seen videos of it. They have completely overhauled everything. Graphics and sound are astounding, the over-the-shoulder third person view is an improvement over the original as well. Also the Tyrant is one scary piece of.....

    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]

    A shining example of what remake should be. [Issue#236, p.24]
