    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

    Один из лучших, на моей памяти, представителей сурвайвл хорроров. Идеальный пример качественного ремейка. Разработчикам почет и уважение.

    恐怖游戏一直以来都是最难做的类型之一，生化危机2可以说是最纯粹的恐怖游戏体验了，相当优秀的线性流程，建立在求生这一主题上的各种机制和限制环环相扣，重制版修改的包括视角等诸多地方并没有降低游戏体验，无处不在的压迫感和紧张感也能够一直给玩家提供探索的动力。比较遗憾的是剧情上问题颇多，表里两关仿佛没有任何含义，角色不同视角也只是平行世界而已恐怖游戏一直以来都是最难做的类型之一，生化危机2可以说是最纯粹的恐怖游戏体验了，相当优秀的线性流程，建立在求生这一主题上的各种机制和限制环环相扣，重制版修改的包括视角等诸多地方并没有降低游戏体验，无处不在的压迫感和紧张感也能够一直给玩家提供探索的动力。比较遗憾的是剧情上问题颇多，表里两关仿佛没有任何含义，角色不同视角也只是平行世界而已

    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]
