    Terrible control scheme for PC. typical Capcom game, the port to PC is bad. Some of the puzzles are a joke, there is no logic to them. You can go on the Internet and find the answers to the codes but there's no logic to it in the game. The sites give you the code but not how it can be found in the game. This game is really a poor design, real disappointment.

    this game is absolute garbage and its not even horror game.You just solve bunch of puzzles with bad camera angle
    it is hard to to find your way trough and you should go back and forth to solve these trash puzzles , some guns have unlimited ammo and you haven't challenge while shooting
    character face models and textures having low quality and even characters facial expressions are not so well

    An experience unlike most others I have had in my gaming life. This has to be the first time I have played a game 6 times in 30 hours over 2 weeks. Obviously the nature of the games structure is the reason for this, but it’s brilliant nonetheless. Found myself speedrunning the game and loving every second.

    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

    pros:
    - atmosphere
    - level design is great
    - graphics
    - nice shooting

    cons:
    - Tyrant is a joke
    - stupid story decisions
    - boring boss fights

    In general, the first half was amazing, but in the second half everything became much worse. Especially Tyrant, he ruined so much of the atmosphere. He's not scary, not challenging, he's just annoying.

    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    … Expand

    This game is fabulous, man. I just beat it with my gf - was her first look at the franchise. I consolidated some thoughts I had about it previously and introduced her to the game. There are so many things to talk about...

    First of all, the gameplay. The level design here is impeccable in a way that, when you start the game, you don't realize that you will be familiarized so much with it. 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.

    Right now, we're starting RE 3.

The gameplay mechanics have also been updated, making the experience feel fresh while still staying true to the original's roots.

    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

    Game is very good. At first it seems kinda short but u have two characters to play with diffrent story. Game is challanging but not to point where starts to be annoying. In my opinion RE2 is a good game to start your journey with this franchise.

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

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

    I didn't even like the original, or the first RE game, back then.

    Having played the original, I can only judge the game on its own merits - and they are plentiful.

    Both visuals and sounds are doing a fantastic job immersing you in a dreadful situation your characters have found themselves in, but the level, enemy, and encounter designs are what truly keep you on your toes the whole time. 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.

    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.

    - 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

    Was always intending on playing this game after my time with Resident Evil 1 HD, with my plan to complete all the main line RE games within the next year or two. 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.Was always intending on playing this game after my time with Resident Evil 1 HD, with my plan to complete all the main line RE games within the next year or two. 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

    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.
