    in ages, I've been grown up with this franchise. and now finally I'd see the truest Survival Horror. It's the greatest game in franchise and best Remake game in Industry and most beautiful survival horror game that ever created. Masterpiece!

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is a great example of what an action-horror game should be. The combat is satisfying and the movement is fluid. The game is pretty scary as well. From the lickers, to the infamous Mr. X, there is surely something that will freak you out. The visuals are a huge plus as well. The RE engine allows for characters and textures to look amazingly realistic. The charactersResident Evil 2 Remake is a great example of what an action-horror game should be.

The characters are lovable and pretty well written into the great, albeit simple, story. One negative I can point out is a couple of areas such as the sewers can be a bit of a pain. Otherwise this is one of the greatest entries in the Resident Evil series and really shows how far the series has come since the original. Expand

If you are wondering what it is about this Resident Evil that people is loving so much I can tell you many reasons, the AMAZING graphics and optimization (best and most real zombies I have ever seen) the gameplay mechanics, how the story is driven, the length of the game, the free DLCs, the immersion it achieves and so many other reasons but for me the top reason is how it broke all my expectations (which were pretty high already) about this “remake” and delivered a 20 times better game then what I was expecting. 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.
    Capcom shareholders must be ecstatic to see what this company is doing lately.

    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.

    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 to made a good game.

    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.

    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.

    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.
    ありがとうございます、Capcom.

    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.

And by god does breakable melee weapons feel arbitrary, do they make them out of cheese? Losing knives defensively is one thing, but when they break after a few deft thrusts into a rotting corpses melon?

    And finally, RNG guns. Look, i get you want people to feel the survival in survival horror, actually weigh up whether running or gunning is the better option and actually make them feel somewhat powerless. But a gun that can blast open a zombies skull in a single shot, then takes 15 on the next zombie? It starts ruining suspension of belief. Either make it so area damage is consistent, or that you need to overcome regeneration. RNG is just immersion breaking.

    Otherwise the game brings nothing new to the table. It's literally just a graphics update with content altered or removed entirely.

    At least Hunk and Tofu are back though.

    Oh and immediate minus points for day one DLC and pre order bonus'; they're cancer and need to stop. Visuals are a part of the experience too. So carving out costumes so you can wring a few extra dollars from fans is poo tier behavior.

    The only reason the game doesn't score lower, is mechanically, the game is solid; no stupid bugs or broken content. (that i found anyway) This is how a game should be released. I'd score it higher for that alone if it weren't for the fact that this is how it should be normally. Not something you do for a reward.

In this remake, tank controls are trashed for the more immersive over-the-shoulder view, but zombies are far more resilient, and can stream in periodically from broken windows. No room feels safe. 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.

    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.
    As drawbacks highlight when the camera is given to make the crazy and some animations that I have not liked at all.

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.

    A 10/10 game means it has no glaring flaws, missing pieces or faults and accomplishes exactly what it set out to do. For what it's worth, RE2's remake is perhaps the most on-point and well directed remakes/remasters possible, and for that alone I think it's worthy of high praise.

    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 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.

    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.

    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'.

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!

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.

    One thing of note I'd specifically like to heap praise on is: this is the first game I ever played where every (EVERY) single monster you kill remains in the exact same location and manner you take them out for the entirety of your play-through even when you revisit past locations or restart the game after exiting - just brilliant!

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

    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.

    The remake of one of my favorite games had potential to blow my mind. Calming down after the hype it didn't quite do that. Of course I was going to love it, I'd love oatmeal if it was RE2-themed.

    The core gameplay is overall very good, it's streamlined and very easy to play. It skips a lot of stuff RE2 originally had but also adds some sections that fit it well. My favorite moments in the remake are the little ones, when you recognize a reference. Sherry lifting her leg while climbing up on a thing agonizingly slow. That limping female zombie next to the dumpster you climb on.

    There are some special events and areas (such as playing as another character) where completely new gameplay mechanics are forced on the player for a while. While they mostly feel out of place and tedious, they only compromise small parts of the game that overall is quite solid.

    I'm not sure what to make of the fact that there is enough ammunition to kill absolutely everything in the game on standard difficulty, provided you don't miss shots a lot. Roaming the empty hallways after you've cleared them does kill the survival horror vibe but I see no other way when you want to cater to completionists - and I'm glad they do.

    This game does play like an ego shooter if that's your style. It feels a lot like survival horror if you just rush forward without planning everything out. This game feels like it's aimed at modern shooter audience but if you're an old school RE fan you should give the demo try and see how it feels.

Por momentos sentía mucha nostalgia por las similitudes que hay con el original, pero había momentos donde si lograba sorprenderme con alguna que otra cosilla además de esa tensión constante en la que te mantiene el juego para que no puedas pararte ni un solo momento a descansar. En ningún momento del juego pude sentirme tranquilo, siempre sentía que era observado o que en cualquier momento aparecería algo que me haría saltar de mi asiento. La atmósfera está muy bien lograda y el Soundtrack acompaña muy bien cada situación. Esto va más allá de un simple Remake, esto es un juego totalmente nuevo, es el Resident Evil 2 reimaginado en una forma totalmente distinta a la original, desde el apartado técnico/gráfico hasta la jugabilidad y la narrativa. Este Resident Evil 2 se inspira en su homónimo de 1998 pero sin querer ser un calco de éste. Recomiendo ampliamente a todo el mundo que le de una oportunidad este juego. Nunca creí que volver a Raccoon City sería tan aterradoramente divertido. 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

    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.

    Personally I found Claire's campaign to be miles better than Leon's, hers had a better story, a better finale, better weaponry and a very interesting character who doesn't show up in Leon's playthrough. Overall her campaign definitely bumped up my rating of the game.

    As for the PC port, it's really good, it runs really well and has plenty of options so even moderate hardware should get a good frame rate. I played the game on GTX 1080 and was at 144fps most of the time at 1080p, so hitting the more common 60fps should be doable for a wide variety of cards.

    To borrow from NVIDIA, a game that "just works". I'm talking about the technical side. It's refreshing to play a game that performs consistently and is almost completely free of bugs. Good start.

    From the 7 RE games I've played this is the second best in the series, only to RE4. It's a near perfect blend of puzzle tasks and tense, claustrophobic action sequences. Whereas RE6 jumped the shark into overpowered action frenzy, this game rarely lets up the tension because you constantly feel under threat. Capcom did a great job of capturing the gameplay spirit of RE4. Although this game doesn't require you to stand completely still when performing a shot, it rewards you for doing so by focusing your cursor. Of course, there's also the infamous scarcity of ammo.

    Did I mention the graphics are amazing at 4k? I'd take this engine cloned to any game out there. I was running it initially on a 980ti, but was due for an upgrade anyway, so pulled the trigger on a 2080. I can play it near maxed out, just lowering shadows and a couple other settings to get to 4k60. Contrast this to another (relatively good) survival horror series, The Evil Within, which is a clunky mess technically (FPS drops, inadequate GPU/CPU usage), and has mediocre graphics.

    I tip my hat to Capcom. I know most are calling for RE3 remake and don't think an RE4 remake is warranted since it already has the over the shoulder cam, but honestly, I'd be first in line for an RE4 remake with new puzzles, bigger areas, and dynamic lighting/fog effects. To me that game still edges this one out due to the variety of bosses, exotic locales, and (as subjective as it may be) a more engaging story. To be a remade RE4 would be the game GOAT if done right.

    Still, it's refreshing to see another game come so close.

    While I can often be generous scoring a mediocre game, I rarely if ever call a game a 10. It takes a special experience to achieve that score. Resident Evil 2 for PS4 provides that experience. I played the original Resident Evil 2 when it first released during my college days, and I liked it a lot. I was excited for this remake, but I figured I would already know what was going to happen.While I can often be generous scoring a mediocre game, I rarely if ever call a game a 10.

I played the original Resident Evil 2 when it first released during my college days, and I liked it a lot. I was excited for this remake, but I figured I would already know what was going to happen. Boy, was I wrong. Capcom has completely rewritten the events that happen in the game, and even if you have played the original dozens of times, you won't know whats coming in this new version. The quality of the gameplay is really mind blowing. The combat feels perfect, and the movement is smooth and silky. The graphics are outstanding, and do an excellent job conveying a sense of dread as you play. The sound is fantastic and adds so much to the creepiness. The music is extremely sparingly used, and what is there, is ambient and in the background. The only time it picks up is during certain scenes I won't describe for fear of spoiling something. If there is other music that I didn't notice, it's because it's so perfectly blended into the game. Speaking of spoiling, I highly recommend you go into this game blind if you can. The moments that shocked me would have had much less impact if I knew they were coming. If you are a fan of horror games, then this is a must buy. If you are a fan of games in general, I highly suggest you give it a shot. There are very few modern survival horror games of this type that receive the universal acclaim this game has received. If you have never played a survival horror game, this is a perfect entry into the genre. Capcom has provided 3 difficulty modes to fit every gamer. Hardcore for the survival horror experts, Standard, for those comfortable with shooters of this nature, and Assisted for those completely new to the genre, or for those who have difficulty aiming with a controller. If survival horror games intimidate you, there is no shame on giving it a go on an easier difficulty. It's such a great game, it would be a shame for someone to miss out on it. I can't recommend a game more highly than I recommend this one. Go out and play it! Expand

    Graphics are good but I would have to say the only gripe is that the facial animations are a bit wonky.

While the gameplay is excellent, and the game is something like 3 times longer than the original, there is a real lack of context. a lot of the files that we had in the original and text descriptions of things we could inspect, are all gone from this.

This makes the world feel empty and less lived in. It's a real shame.

    the worst part though is how Capcom handled the two stories of the original. basically they're gone. this game is one story. except for some bizarre reason, you have to play the same game twice, once for Sherry's sections and again for Ada's sections and the proper ending.
    aside from those things, the game is pretty much exactly the same for both. Mr X was even pulled from mission B and put into all scenarios.

    This was a big disappointment. I was expecting to get a new B scenario with an enemy and events that did not happen in my first play-through. instead i got the A scenario of the other character and an extra boss at the end. This was so disappointing that I just feel the need to warn other potential players.

    I don't recommend this if you want 2 scenarios and The rich backstory we came to expect. only buy it if you want an exciting single story with great gameplay and environments and don't mind being forced to play it all again to get your full ending.

    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.
