    This game is great. An example of how remakes should be done. It changes many things from the original but still feels like Resident Evil 2. Gameplay is good, graphics are amazing, I like the story and characters and it has a lot of replay value with extra modes and different campaigns.

    Лучшая часть во франшизе RE (разумеется по моему мнению и на данный момент).

    Короче, игра шикарная: бэктрекинг, головоломки, ленты для сохранений, более менее некринжовый научно-фантастический сюжет, в общем все как у оригинала и у 1-й части. А так же из нового: крутой графон, хорошее звуковое сопровождение, отличный редизайн персонажей (я просто посмотрел, как выглядели Клэр и Леон во    Лучшая часть во франшизе RE (разумеется по моему мнению и на данный момент).

    Короче, игра шикарная: бэктрекинг, головоломки, ленты для сохранений, более менее некринжовый научно-фантастический сюжет, в общем все как у оригинала и у 1-й части. А так же из нового: крутой графон, хорошее звуковое сопровождение, отличный редизайн персонажей (я просто посмотрел, как выглядели Клэр и Леон во всяких 6-ых и Revelations 2...), Мистер X, манящая атмосфера, немного переработанный в лучшую сторону сюжет.

    Короче, чем игра хороша, уже рассказали по 500 раз. Про плохую сторону медали люди говорили реже. Но у игры есть несколько недостатков, которые меня просто вымораживают и не дают поставить почти заслуженную 10/10.

    В общем, эти минусы кроются в сюжете и лоре. В оригинальной RE2 было что-то похожее на пересечение сценариев, когда действие, совершенное игроком в сценарии А, влияло на происходящее в сценарии Б. Хотя и в оригинале полно такого, что вам приходится в разных сценариях за разных персонажей крутить один и тот же вентиль, и т. д. Так вот, в ремейке вообще нет никакой взаимосвязи между сценариями, кроме нескольких кат-сцен. Причем все попытки выстроить эту взаимосвязь в голове ни к чему не приводят, ведь здесь не то, что таймлайны не совпадают, это вообще будто параллельные вселенные. Ибо, мы валим одних и тех же боссов, разгадываем одни и те же загадки, ходим по тем же самым локациям (за исключением пару мест, где разрабы сделали уникальные мини-локи для каждого персонажа).

    А ведь можно было выстроить крутые пересечения, которые бы и дополняли историю, и показывали сценарное мастерство разработчиков, и предоставляли игрокам новый контент. Для этого, как минимум, надо было бы сделать альтернативные пути для каждого из сценариев, т.е сделать уникальные головоломки, уникальные локации для каждого из них, чтобы было понятно, что Леон делал в это время одно, а Клэр - другое, и время от времени показывать как наши действия влияют на другого персонажа.

    Особенно ТУПО, что разрабы так сделали когда-то в DLC Separate Ways для RE4, где в целом было реализовано то, о чем я говорю (с косячками, но было). Тут же, вообще ничего нет. В общем, это халтура. Увы, пересечений сюжетов нет, и это очень расстраивает. Очень. Согласитесь, если сценарии были бы по-настоящему другими и проработанными, было бы еще круче, а у игры и так вроде неплохой рейтинг, даже с учетом этой вот фигни. На самом деле серьезный недостаток, но в остальном игра очень крутая. В общем как-то так. Спасибо, что прочитали, если прочитали.    … Expand

I hate horror games with all my might but I just couldn't get enough of this one, with its survival elements that add a whole another layer to it.
    As for any downsides, I wish the gameplay on the 2nd run had more differences at least in the story, so when we put it together it actually starts to make sense, and so it isn't just a iteration of the previously played one.

Unfortunately, I can't compare much, because I didn't play the original game, as I mentioned. What immediately took my breath away was the graphics. No, I don't think anyone would be as beautiful, but I mean, when I look at the original game and the remake, you can see the damn difference. Not only are the textures, of course, many times better, but the overall change to a third-person perspective has, in my opinion, been excellent. The game will not keep you waiting too long and you will find yourself at the police station in the first hour, where you will also lose more or less the whole game. But you don't have to be afraid. The police station is quite large and it's not surprising. Capcom can squeeze the given location quite well, as we have already shown, for example, in the seventh part in the form of a house. Here, at the police station, you do things that are a classic in the Resident Evil series. You go lost here and there, you collect raw materials, you create healy, you gradually improve your arsenal and there is also an unpleasant solution to puzzles, where I spent an hour solving a puzzle around chess. Resident Evil can do all these elements to number one, but the number two enriched it with one more element and that is Mr. X. A big guy who chases you almost everywhere except the safe room. Once you find it, you can't get rid of it, and the steps you hear while running around the station here and there looking for raw materials, those steps create a great atmosphere and the feeling that you can't stop and that someone is still after you. it goes and it really goes! As soon as Mr. X gets and you have nowhere to run, so you're quite in the fat, because you may not even have a full magazine from a weapon and Resident Evil is one of those games where wasting ammunition is not a good idea and every round is useful. It is best to give headshots to zombies. On Mr. But that's not enough for X and you can only shoot his hat. Although I'm not mistaken for the achievement, which is fine, but Mr. himself. X won't stop and will go after you, and as soon as he's with you, he stretches out and punches you, he can do quite solid damage and you then have to heal and waste your valuable, crimped healing ingredients. All this, meaning that you have few rounds, you have to hit and the fact that Mr. is still after you. X creates quite a lively horror. The only downside to all this is that you have it too fast. Unfortunately, something similar applies to RE as to, say, Call of Duty. It's just short. Personally, I finished the game in about 10 hours in Leon's skin and I was still loitering. (I usually always get lazy: D.) The nice thing is that you can still go through the game behind Claire, who has a slightly different passage, which will extend your gaming experience. The problem is that it still does not save the game from a perfect rating, because not only is the game short, but there is also DLC in it. Such a DLC containing the Original Soundtrack should not be a DLC, but this option should already be in play. On the one hand, I understand that the authors needed to make some money. It is still a remake of a game that is several years old and not everyone will buy the game and would rather wait for a new episode, but the fans of the two who received a remake would, in my opinion, deserve the original soundtrack already in the game, because I personally had this DLC and it spice up the game a lot. Despite the short gameplay and paid DLC, this is one of the best horror movies and especially one of the best remakes I've ever played. Whether you played number two or not, I recommend this game.… Expand

The puzzles are intuitive yet sometimes pretty clever, and, together with resource management and routing, they form a solid, thoughtful gameplay loop punctuated by seamless transitions between levels and locations. These environments are emaculately well done, too, although hardly original by todays standards. The Orphanage, though, will definetly stay in my mind for some time. The later levels dragged just a bit in my experience and culminated in bossfights I would consider tedious, but that didn't hinder my enjoiment much.

    The plot is challenging for me to say anything about, as the Resident Evil mythos is very mature and influential, so nowadays the story may feel a tad naive, but it surely is competent, and the characters, although shallow, are appealing.

    Parts of the scenarios are missing but they are still distinct enough to warrant a playthrough.
    Everything else is great. When you play this game for the first time you will have a great experience finding items, going through the station/sewers/NEST and have that apprehension about discovering something horrible, some enemy that might kill you quickly.

Oyunda seçebildiğimiz iki karakter var; Leon Kennedy ve Claire Redfield. Ben oyunu Leon ile bitirdim, Claire ile de bitirecektim ancak hikayesinin birkaç sahne dışında neredeyse Leon ile aynı olduğunu öğrendiğim için vazgeçip Claire'ın hikayesinin farklı bölümlerini internetten izlemeye karar verdim. Oyunun hikayesi biraz kısa, ve hikayenin büyük çoğunluğu karakolda geçiyor bundan dolayı biraz sıkılabilir bazı oyuncular. Ama bölüm tasarımı, vuruş hissiyatı ve grafikleri oldukça güzel. 6-7 saatlik bir oyun için ortalama hikayesi var, normalde bu kadar kısa oyunlarda hikaye anlatımı ve hikayenin kendisi zayıf olur ancak bu oyunda ortalama bir hikaye anlatımını yakalayabilmişler. Oyun kısa sürdüğü için bazen hikayedeki kopukluklar ve aniden gelişen anlamlandıramadığımız olaylar aldığımız keyfi biraz düşürebiliyor. Oyunun kötü karakteri Mr. X de bence iyi bir kötü karakterdi ve aniden duvarı yıkarak karşımıza çıkması veya bize doğru yaklaşırkenki yankılı ayak seslerini duymak güzel bir gerilim kattı oyuna. Oyunun kendisi çok korkutucu değil ancak mekan tasarımları, sesler gerçekten de gerilimli ve bu gerilimi hissetmek güzel. Vuruş hissiyatı konusunda da oyun başarılı, düşmanı vurduğumuzu hissedebiliyoruz ve yeterince güçlü silahlar ile vurduğumuzda düşmanın kafasını veya uzuvlarını koparabiliyoruz, bu da aldığımız keyfi daha da arttırıyor. Oyundaki bulmacalar yer yer sıkabiliyor, bazılarında takıldım ve uzun süre devam edemedim, bazılarını da yapabilmek çok uzun sürdü. Aynı zamanda bir yerden sonra bulmacalar tekrar etmeye başlıyor ve olay daha sıkıcı bir hal alıyor. Grafikleri 1080p yüksek ayarlarda 2019 oyunu için güzel görünüyor, ancak bazı yerlerde kaplama hataları mevcut, bazı dokuların yaklaştığımda yüklenmesi gerekirken yüklenmiyor ve düşük çözünürlükte kalıyor, bu da haliyle kötü görüntüye sebep oluyor. Optimizasyon konusunda genel olarak sistemimle sabit 60 FPS elde edebildim, ancak bazı sahnelerde FPS düşüklüğü ve takılma sorunu oluyordu, onun dışında bir problem yaşamadım. Resident Evil 2 bana kalırsa her oyuncunun oynaması gereken çok güzel bir yapım.… Expand

    Truly a horror game masterpiece, from the graphics to the story, it just excels in all departments. The only reason this game is not rated a 10 is that one character in the game, Mr. X, follows you as basically an unkillable boss. It builds up tension and gives you a couple scares in the beginning, but it gets really old, really quick. But do I recommend this game? YES.

I was highly anticipating this game in the series based on the incredible reception it received in 2019 when it released. I should mention also that I never played the original game, so I don't have a comparison for you here.

    Visuals - This game is absolutely gorgeous, the character models look great whether it be your human characters such as Leon, Claire, Sherry or Ada, or the zombies which I spent some time looking at their character models in the menu, there is a lot of detail put into the visuals and you will notice this almost immediately, the atmosphere of each section in the game is great, from the police station, to the sewer, the lab etc.

    Combat - I played on standard difficulty, there are options to play Hardcore but you will be limited in saves which I wasn't a fan of from the first RE game so opted out for this one. It is a survival horror so avoiding combat is helpful to you when you can, but when it is needed, I felt very much in control of what I was doing. The shooting mechanics work great, you cannot just spam your shooting otherwise your accuracy will suffer and headshots are very important, shooting zombies is a treat as you can see sections of their body tear off as you take your shots and it is visually very pleasing. Other sections of combat would be your boss battles and felt they were all fun, following a similar format to zombies, shoot and run, the only thing I would have wished for was a dodge button of some sort, as sometimes it was difficult to avoid getting attacked, this was introduced in later RE games, but yeah would've been nice to have it here, not necessary though. Combat is a big plus for me and a big step up from the RE1 remake where I mostly felt I had very little control of what I was doing in combat.

    Story - You have a choice between playing as Leon or Claire, after a google search, it seemed most people were recommending to play as Claire first and then do Leon in the 2nd Run section as that concludes the story completely. I have played as Claire in full, but Leon I am currently in the middle of my 2nd Run with him. I cannot give a full view of the story, but just from Claire's story, I was very much satisfied, sibling of Chris Redfield, who I know very well, I am not as familiar with Claire so this was a real treat for me. Both characters head into Racoon City together to find it overrun with zombies and the plan is rather simple, seek help, but when that fails, get out, though both find alternate goals along their tale. Overall, happy with the story, nothing too complex, just what I wanted.

    Performance - Rather quick thing to go over but played on my relatively decent gaming PC at max settings for most things (or close to max settings), You get a lot of options in selecting how you want the game to look and perform which is really nice as you can limit certain things you don't care for to improve performance and the ensure your PC can handle it. During my gameplay, I didn't encounter a single issue, no crashes, no major framerate issues, no glitches, was a 10/10 performance experience.

    Scary - For me personally, not really, but I am a fan of horror and can handle it quite well, the atmosphere of the game is fantastic, it does create the vibe of being cautious of what is around certain corners, what is really dead, and it does contain some jump scares but nothing too major. I definitely felt creeped out during parts but I was mostly impressed with just how well designed it is, the police station feels relatively simple and you may encounter a zombie falling from a higher floor which may startle you, but when you move to locations like the sewers or the lab, you will find different enemies that may get a reaction out of you.

    Expoloration and Item Management - Not much to say here, but it was difficult to do this in the first RE as the game is not designed with modern gameplay styles and it was kind've a slog to get through, but for RE2, you will be balancing out weapons for combat, to keep you alive and to solve puzzles. Expect to explore around each location and grab whatever you can to help you, if you like to look in every nook and cranny, this will be your cup of tea, I loved it in this game, was great to find different items and never once got stuck where I needed a walkthrough. You will be going back to save rooms to swap out items often, but you do come across pouches that increase your carry capacity which is so welcomed from me.

    Final Rating - I only have minor issues in relation to the game, I never felt that I was having a bad time, it was a complete reverse with how I felt about RE1, this game took everything I loved from RE1 and perfected it into a modern game for the 2nd in the series.    … Expand

    A very timely Remake in an era when horror is no longer scary.
    This game stands out from the others because it can be scary. My heart was beating fast throughout the passage.
    Some may say that the plot is too weak, etc. But it's a remake! And this is the plot of 1998, when video games were not so well thought out.
    Also, I recommend going through this game 2 times to fully understand the game.

RE2 does so many things well, it really is one of the most well made and well thought out games. From the graphics to the gameplay, everything is well rounded and never fails to fill the player with adrenaline. I finished Leon A and Claire B in a matter of 3 days, which really shows just how immersive this game is. The enemies can be annoying at times but once you get the hang of it, finicky things like navigation and boss fights become very enjoyable. 9/10, to think this is an even better version of a classic game is truly something.… Expand

    The story remains unchanged, following Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they navigate the zombie-infested Raccoon City. The tension and suspense have been ramped up to new levels, making each encounter with the undead a heart-pounding experience. The puzzles are just as challenging as they were in the original, but with the added bonus of beautiful, high-resolution visuals.

    The sound design is top-notch, with every shot, groan, and scream adding to the atmosphere. The voice acting is also noteworthy, with excellent performances from the cast bringing the characters to life.

    In conclusion, if you're a fan of the original Resident Evil 2 or are just looking for a terrifying and well-made survival horror game, this Remake is a must-play. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of the original and a showcase of what can be achieved with modern technology. Highly recommended!    … Expand

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Many iconic areas have been cut or changed too much to be identifiable. The soundtrack is almost inexistent something to me that is part of RE2 classic charm sure you could buy the Classic soundtrack pack but I was wishing for orchestral version of many of the track. Also, I must say I am unsure about the characters I sometime feel like Leon is too dumb and naïve the original was better balanced on this level. Claire is really good on the other hand. Now on the touchy subject what about the Zombie who sponge bullets like crazy. I think its a little too much. The fact that they take a lot of bullets maybe 6 to 10 is one thing but when it takes 15 to 20 bullets its kind of stupid also the shotgun is bad someone missed the class when it was mean to dispatch large number of zombies. For the story its mostly intact but some characters where clearly more interesting in the original well some are the exact opposite. In the end is Resident evil 2 remake better than Resident evil 2 my 29 years old brain says no. But for someone who didn’t played the original it’s a great game I feel like I would have like it better with no expectation at all. I kind of wish they would have gone the RE1 remake way and remake RE 2 entirely with every beats. I am okay with changing Leon a little bit and Claire also some characters even fix some retcon Leon saying a one liner from RE4 was a great idea. But I still think they should have kept the world mostly the same. I felt like the Lab was too small and sewer too long. Also, a last point Mr-X I hate him. In itself is new look is great and how he search you is great. But in the original he would just appear during B Scenario. Letting you enjoy your first playthrough slowly explore the world and learn everything. In the remake he will hunt you most of the game kind of like Nemesis. Which was a dumb move because they lost the surprise of Nemesis for the sequel.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

I was ready to put 10 points for its excellent graphics, high-quality sounds and music, pleasant, exciting sensations from the atmosphere, the habits of the zombies and how they are made... But then I encountered three things that greatly "over-salting my game dish":
    1. Speed ​​... it's just awful. The girl walks and runs slower than a turtle. This is unpleasant in relation to many enemies, but it smooths out the understanding that perhaps this was done to create fear that the zombie is "breathing down your neck." But when it comes to large enemies like Tyrant, or slime and the boss of the game, the "fifth point" starts to burn when a huge monster running up for you, and you hobble like walking along a park alley, and in a battle with the boss, it is almost impossible to dodge normally , or run away, so as not to receive damage(You meet the main boss on micro-rooms every time, where agility and speed are a critical factor). I believe that those who play at the highest difficult level of the game are the "game monsters, memorizing every second and every pixel" of this game. BUT I and general quantity of players are play games for a lot of things, but obviously not to suffer. And obviously not from silly game-play over complications.
    2. Damage ... I understand that games have different difficulty levels and each has its own rules, such as the amount of resources or the impact of damage from a shot. But in the entire history of the existence of zombies, in books, films, games, one invariable rule has dominated everywhere - "Shot in the head". How many bullets do you need to pierce an ordinary person's head? This game thinks that from 3 to the WHOLE CLIP will be enough! ...SERIOUSLY!? According to human logic, an ordinary zombie without a helmet or any other protection is 1 bullet. According to the game logic The simplest zombies are the weakest enemies ... but by any logic - why the hell is a whole clip in the HEAD? ... No matter how the authors or whoever defended this game - for such things there is a highest difficulty level, for those who "love to suffer". At the normal level of difficulty, shooting a whole clip (and there will be quite a lot of such zombies) into one single head is insanity, savagery and stupid.
    3. Too annoying gaming conventions. It is clear that you cannot make perfect game-play with riddles for reality, but the impossibility of jumping a two-meter hole, just for pushing the jack from under the shelf (both things are related to the quest), or the inability to raise your hand and take a tool (and look for a gear for a watches throughout the entire area ), or thin doors, on which you can blow and they will fall, but you need to look for a key half a game - this is stupid. At least draw a heavier door view to make this searching more realistic.
    Second walk-through: The male police officer walks and runs not faster than the female turtle mentioned above. And if a girl can be blamed on grace and so on, then a guy hobbling into the wreck is just ridiculous. It's funny, but you stop laughing at the last boss fight, where you lose not because of a difficult boss, but because of stupid slow legs.
    The first 45% of the game are the same locations as before, only from a different angle(a couple of new rooms and corridors). The last 45% of the game are generally identical to the first walk-through, excluding scanty plot details. Only in the middle the 10% of the game does something change so that it would be possible to justify overplaying - this is both a new zone and a game for the sexy babe "hacker". But in general, we can say that the plot, yes, in many ways shows a different picture. Only this does not raise the assessment because: Firstly, it does not cover a bunch of hours spent on identical 90% of the game-play, Secondly, part of the plot twists confuses the brain: it seems to be the same story, but for a different character, but it seems would have the same enemies in the same places (for example, the same fight with the use of a hanging container).
    ... This will not affect the rating, but I did not like the additions about the survivors at all: each of them very strongly pushes the player forward, throwing enemies from all the holes. Strongly-strongly-strongly for the fans.    … Expand

    Ажиотаж вокруг этой игры не стихал даже после ее выхода, а учитывая, что данный ремейк называли чуть ли не лучшим за все историю игровой индустрии, обойти стороной этот проект было бы просто кощунством.

    Сюжет игры неплох и таких людей, как я, ничего не знающих о вселенной «Обители зла», может заинтересовать, и даже пару раз удивить, но не более.
    Персонажи порадовали, я проходил игру за Леона, а потому про Клэр ничего существенного сказать не могу, но Кеннеди меня порадовал. Не было громких всхлипов о его непростой судьбе, не было долгих размышлений о смысле бытия. Леон просто хотел выжить и по возможности найти виновных. Ада также является довольно колоритным персонажем, который не собирается раскрывать душу перед первым попавшимся человеком. Остальные встречающиеся по сюжету персонажи имеют слишком мало экранного времени, чтобы подвергать их индивидуальному анализу, но все они к месту.
    Графика очень достойная, как и анимация. Смахивание капель с куртки, разные походки в зависимости от уровня повреждения протагониста и т.д. Все это радует глаз и оставляет приятные впечатления.
    Геймплей не дает заскучать. Хоть разнообразным его и не назовешь, но постоянные разгадывания загадок вперемешку с защитой своей жизни, могут скрасить не один вечер.
    По моему скромному мнению, физика оружия, ИИ, локализация и оптимизация не стоят отдельного упоминания, но стоит понимать, что все сделано на довольно высоком уровне, который обеспечивает приятные эмоции во время игры.
    Отдельно хотелось бы поблагодарить разработчиков за изменения в управлении и перенос камеры за спину протагониста. Возможно, прежним фанатам этой игры данное нововведение показалось лишним, но лично мне оно очень облегчило жизнь, ибо предыдущая камера казалась мне сложноватой в управлении.
    Но есть и за что поругать данный ремейк. Пугающая атмосфера ужастика, к сожалению, держится очень недолго. Лично в моем случае ее хватило лишь на первые 20-30% игры, после чего я привык и все превратилось в обыкновенный шутер с редкими скримерами, которых порой очень не хватало. А что уж говорить: жуткая атмосфера в хорроре должна присутствовать всегда.    … Expand

Challenging puzzles, great story (especially Claire's), scary dark atmosphere of police station and graphics was beyond my expectations. The campaign was actually too short, but The 2nd Run system (playing with both Claire and Leon) makes it up really well.

    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

Capcom could add more variety in different paths. - The second run is almost the same as    A very good remake from a old game.

    - The second run is almost the same as the first one with both characters. The sequence of events is a little different but the game is the same. You play again for a new boss fight and a 3 minutes animation at the end.

    - Lore problems. The antagonist should have died from the bullets he got when he was human (should rewrite that scene). Why Claire would attach to a girl she just met in a survival situation? Gets even bizarre when you give back the child to her mother then continues to play mama.    … Expand

That's what happened with my gf. She complained about the size of it, saying that was too much to learn. Eventually, she was running around figuring out things by herself and enjoying it. besides, when the game requires exploration in order to progress and outplay the enemies, it becomes natural. And there's Mr. X also... man, she was terrified. Even I, whose already beaten the game, was anxious about his steps.

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

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

    Ok, the game is good, it's fun. Exploring the environments, puzzles, graphics, even the cutscenes and characters, all excellent. It mostly reminded me of RE7 with the inventory and simple but streamlined weapon upgrades and you can tell it's made with the same graphics engine.

    From the design of the game it is obvious you are not supposed to kill every enemy but instead run past many of them by either creeping, baiting an attack and then running or stunning with a bullet or grenade then running. The problem is when you can't do that enemies will grab you and this triggers a micro animation every time and it get's irritating when there's nothing you can do about it. If a licker shows up your supposed to be able to creep past it but realistically you have to kill it as there will also be other enemies near by that you have to run past and that will alert the licker.

    Boss fights are another weak element to the game. Runaway turn around shoot, runaway turn around shoot. And because your so slow and enemies are so fast you always get grabbed or hit which again becomes annoying.

    I think the longevity of this game will come down to speedrunning and possible future game modes like mercenaries. The question is do you want to speedrun this game when the enemies are such a pain.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    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]
