    4 points just for visuals !
    Everything else is boring and repetitive !
    ammo is very less and it forces me to replay again and again which wastes my time.

    Сюжета тут нет. Игра совсем не страшная. Ресурсов моего ПК она жрёт, много (чтобы поиграть на максималках, нужно 10 ГБ видеопамяти, у меня столько нет). Графика выглядит довольно обычно. Зачем-то к этим тупым пострелушкам ещё и приделали головоломки. Мне не зашла, игра не для всех.Сюжета тут нет. Игра совсем не страшная.

    A masterpiece! I only complain about one thing, this game creates an expectation that the 3 didn't reach it.

    Masterpiece game. The story is so enjoyable, scoring is really great, visual is decent, and the voice is stunning

    Um bom jogo, divertido e desafiador, conclui a campanha com o Leon e parei por ai pois rejogar metade do jogo não me pareceu uma boa ideia.

    8/10 - Bom sólido.

    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

    Solo he jugado a RE 7,8 y 2. Aún así lo he notado como uno de los mejores survival horrors que he jugado. El 10 se lo queda RE 8 que mide los tiempos y las situaciones con exactitud. Y RE2 tiene mucha oscuridad que no me disgusta pero una vez te acostumbras pierdes el miedo, coas que en RE8 no. Aunque mejora la entrega anterior RE7 ya que no siente que huyas de los enemigos todo el rato. Muy buen juego pero no es perfecto

    O Remake do RE2 é perfeito. Tudo que tinha de bom no original foi aperfeiçoado, apenas isso. Recomendo muito para amantes de survival horror com mecânicas atuais.

    It's just an awesome remake. As a child, I played the original game and then I really liked it.

    Now this is the same story, but with amazing graphics and updated gameplay. This game should be taken as an example for those who release mediocre remakes and remasters.

    Everything here is absolutely gorgeous.

    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.

    A fantastic remake of a classic survival horror game. Just like almost any Resident Evil game, it suffers from an amazing first half and a so-so second half.

The Police Station and Mr. X are the golden highlights of the game and are filled with tension because of how underequipped you are and how Mr. X actually looks for you instead of just spawning near your location, to the point where you can run off to the other part of the police station and not see him for 10 minutes. 
    Unfortunately, the other half pales in comparison. The boss fights range from mediocre to bad, like that crane one. 
    Two playthroughs are a must because Leon and Claire's paths are indeed different enough to warrant replayability.

    The map is great, maybe better than the original in some ways. Buy the original sounds and use that the new soundtrack is ass. That may be why this isn't a 10/10 for me. Also the A and B scenarios were make less important.

    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.

    Excellent game.
    I hadn't played the original, but I thought it was all very good.
    Graphics, gameplay, story and the way things go.

    The second run that I think could be more embedded in the story, but other than that, great game.

    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.

    One of the best resident evil games for someone who has never experienced the old games. The characters are really great and the graphics are very good as well.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, a really fresh change of gameplay for me after ive been grinding sekiro and elden ring. 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.

    First of all, I have to say that it is interesting that there are so many puzzles in a horror game. Also, the undead zombies are an ordeal. All in all, it's all a good experience. I just wish the claire story was a little different because doing the same things was boring. Nice work, Nice remake!

    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]
