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

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

    It is a magnificent game, which takes the graphic section beyond what RE7 did, and its design of characters, scenarios, enemies, weapons, puzzles is well implemented

    Capcom has really done it with this amazing masterpiece and have gained themselves the title of King of Remakes!! This game is absolutely what I could've asked for. It has got RE4's view that actually fits perfectly! This game is a must play for everybody!!!

    this game is amazing especially its combat, ragdoll physics and how each weapon causes a different damage/mutilation.
    My interest in the game was simply to appreciate how each zombie behaves with one shot.

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

    I played the remake of the first game, which was already good. But this one is clearly better.
    The ego perspective is better in my view, especially on PC.
    The graphic is perfect. The port to PC is also perfect also: there are many details to change the graphics and the game shows the effect immediately with a picture...genius. The atmosphere was always the strength of the game and here    I played the remake of the first game, which was already good. But this one is clearly better.

    The atmosphere was always the strength of the game and here it is not an exception.
    The gameplay is similar to the first game, but a bit better, because the map is better and it is more clear where to go. Also there are some new elements: gun powder, wood planks for the windows, and so on. The one thing that I didnt like was Mr. Tyrant and his hunt for the player, especially in the 2nd campaign.
    The story has also some improvements and is more complex. I just didnt like some scenes, because they were a bit childish and not realistic. Also the 2nd campaign is not realistic, because it didnt fit in the the first campaign. In addition you just play the game again, what was disappointing    … 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]
