    On the note of performance, the game boasts beautiful graphics, yet can run at very high FPS even on older machines, making it playable by a large amount of people without the need to upgrade their PC. The optimization is excellent, and the range of customization of the graphics options just proves the dedication of the developer them to make this game as excellent as it once was, and more!

    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

В 2015 году догадки подтвердились официальным заявлением. Далее 4 года я как только мог "облизывал" каждую обнародаванную информацию - как фанатские слухи, так и от официальных источников. 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.

    One of the best remasters I've ever played.
    Developers took main part from the original game and put some advanced features from other games of RE series. And it just works great. I didn't get that feel like I'm playing the same game as 1998 version but with new cover. I like how they assembled all the best in this remaster and left all the most iconic things in the place.

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

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!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
