    Capcom did it *wipes tears* Capcom did it right. 10/10, loyal to the original, great additions. The voice acting is superb and the original soundtrack swap made me feel like I'm back in 1998. Thank you Capcom, you gave me hope for AAA games again. *Wipes tears*

    Personally I found Claire's campaign to be miles better than Leon's, hers had a better story, a better finale, better weaponry and a very interesting character who doesn't show up in Leon's playthrough. Overall her campaign definitely bumped up my rating of the game.

    As for the PC port, it's really good, it runs really well and has plenty of options so even moderate hardware should get a good frame rate. I played the game on GTX 1080 and was at 144fps most of the time at 1080p, so hitting the more common 60fps should be doable for a wide variety of cards.    … Expand

    From the 7 RE games I've played this is the second best in the series, only to RE4. It's a near perfect blend of puzzle tasks and tense, claustrophobic action sequences. Whereas RE6 jumped the shark into overpowered action frenzy, this game rarely lets up the tension because you constantly feel under threat. Capcom did a great job of capturing the gameplay spirit of RE4. Although this game doesn't require you to stand completely still when performing a shot, it rewards you for doing so by focusing your cursor. Of course, there's also the infamous scarcity of ammo.

    Did I mention the graphics are amazing at 4k? I'd take this engine cloned to any game out there. I was running it initially on a 980ti, but was due for an upgrade anyway, so pulled the trigger on a 2080. I can play it near maxed out, just lowering shadows and a couple other settings to get to 4k60. Contrast this to another (relatively good) survival horror series, The Evil Within, which is a clunky mess technically (FPS drops, inadequate GPU/CPU usage), and has mediocre graphics.

    I tip my hat to Capcom. I know most are calling for RE3 remake and don't think an RE4 remake is warranted since it already has the over the shoulder cam, but honestly, I'd be first in line for an RE4 remake with new puzzles, bigger areas, and dynamic lighting/fog effects. To me that game still edges this one out due to the variety of bosses, exotic locales, and (as subjective as it may be) a more engaging story. To be a remade RE4 would be the game GOAT if done right.

    Still, it's refreshing to see another game come so close.    … Expand

    + Right amount of durations of scenarios for each character.( If speed ran, then short and bloody)

    Possible neglects:
    -- To ask €60 for a basic game for a remake? A tad bit pricey, €40 for current game IMO. For the current price however; Could have provided with an alternate scenarios for each character in addition, albeit not very long but something which does not have remake logo on it.

    Humble suggestions
    *** Free to a very low price DLC which adds new scenarios to each main character.
    * Allow some very limited item(s) to carry over to new game plus.

    All put together it's a force to racoon with. Now look behind you! there is someone there.

    No but seriously... Maybe one of the best RE's to this date. It's scary, it has that nostalgic feel if you're looking for that but it still feels like a fresh game. If you enjoyed Resident Evil VII, you will probably enjoy this too. Especially if you like the puzzle elements.

    TLDR: Is good game

Because of this, there can only be one verdict: This game is the best Resident Evil Game that has ever been made.

    The graphics are absolute state of the art, the gameplay a mix of old and new and exactly the way my younger self has dreamed of back in the day and most importantly: The Difficulty! This is a true Survival Horror game and I can only recommend ANYONE to play this game on Hardcore from the get-go (if you are experienced in the franchise or harder Survival Horror games). Ammo and healing are sparce and enemies are plenty, forcing you to actively run around some enemies and be very careful about not wasting all your stuff on needless encounters. You can put yourself into a position in which you basically have to restart the game (if you don't make several save-files) because you simply won't have enough Ammo to beat a boss.

    While some would say that this is too hard, it is a Survival Horror game. That is a big flaw with most games these days that claim to be horror: They are way too easy and allow you to mess around infinitely and still enable you to get through the game in a breeze. Personally, that is not Survival Horror for me. If you know you can't really fail..why would you ever be afraid? How could you ever tense up due to some encounters, when you know you will eventually make it through with little effort. This might sound unfair or gamebreaking for some but it was a needed change in the Survival Horror Formula that has been missing for way too long.

    As for the gameplay: Sure, it might not be very realistic to have to find key items to progress through doors that could be easily torn through with the weaponry available in the game. However, this is a remake from a classic game and it stays true to it's source and I can very much appreciate that. It's always weird when people complan about a lack in realism in games that include the undead and gigantic monsters, contained in high-tech underground facilities with technology that even now is far beyond our scope. You can acquire weapons in nearly every game that could destroy whole buildings..yet no one complains about them not doing exactly that. It is fiction, not everything has to make perfect sense but it utilizes those "clunky" mechanics well in it's favor. The atmosphere and constant dread is stunning, the utilization of Mister X (Tyrant) is even better than the original and truly makes you feel terror because you can try to outrun it and die OR you shoot it down and waste valuable and needed Ammo for later on. Perfection.

    As for the Graphics..if you wanna see the maximum this game has to other you need to have very, very expensive hardware to get decent framerates in UHD and still decent Hardware to play it in FullHD with maxed out settings. However, if you can play it like that then you are in for a State-of-the-Art experience that is going to make your jaw drop. Textures are crisp, the visual effects and lighting is stunning, the characters all seem extremely realistic, down to the display of dirt and gore on the clothing of those characters.

    As for the Story: There is really not much to say if you knew the original. It basically stays true to it with a few alterations to utilize the capabilities of the modern time more effectively. I won't spoiler anything but it is made very well. Typical for a high-budget production.

    As for the controls: I have personally used a XBOX One Controller and have been very happy with it. Sure, there are some tank-ish controls and you do not have access to fancy dodging moves to prevent anything from even touching you but in this case that is a plus. Yet again this works in the favor of the Survival Horror Element of the game. If you could dodge anything then it probably would be too easy. Don't get me wrong, you can still dodge anything, just like back in the day, by smart movements and positioning and analyzing the enemies. It is hard to do and you will most likely get hit loads of times but that is ok. Mouse and Keyboard controls are solid, improving the aiming massively, as can be expected but you sacrifice a bit of comfort and immersion.

    As for the AI: I don't understand why so many reviews talk badly about the AI. It is far from bad and the zombies are by far the most threatening they have ever been. You cannot just bait them anymore and simply move past them like in the original games. They can even manage to grab you even if you manage to walk past them, adding another layer of difficulty. Some enemies cannot be simply dodged and you need to take calculated hits to get past some fights without wasting too much Ammo.

    This game is not perfect but is perfect for what it tries to be. 100%.    … Expand

    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    … Expand

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

    Je ne vais pas en dire plus, vous pouvez lire les autres critiques, ce RE2 remake est une réussite, qui réussi à combler l'attente des fans (et on sait tous que c'est souvent bien difficile !)
    Belle réussite de la part de Capcom qui nous offre un très très grand jeu.    … Expand

    Я начал ждать Resident Evil 2 ещё лет 5 назад. А когда Capcom анонсировали её, я очень сильно обрадовался. Прошло пару лет, и было чувство, что Capcom забили на ремейк. Ровно год назад, на 20-тилетие Resident Evil 2 1998-ого года, я думал и верил, что ремейк неожиданно или выпустят, или скажут что он доделывается. Ничего из этого не произошло. Началось лето, и вместе с ним E3 2018. На немЯ начал ждать Resident Evil 2 ещё лет 5 назад. А когда Capcom анонсировали её, я очень сильно обрадовался.

Ровно год назад, на 20-тилетие Resident Evil 2 1998-ого года, я думал и верил, что ремейк неожиданно или выпустят, или скажут что он доделывается. Ничего из этого не произошло. Началось лето, и вместе с ним E3 2018. На нем окончательно и официально анонсировали ремейк. Я был просто счастлив. Но в придачу к этому, ремейк объявили лучше игрой выставки E3 2018. Я чувствовал такую гордость за Capcom, что не могу передать словами. А трейлеры игры я пересматривал за день десятками раз.

    Перейдем к самой игре. Capcom идеально совместили стиль Resident Evil 4 и саму Resident Evil 2. Игра и страшная, и бодрая, и интересная, и с загадками, в общем, как мы любим. Игре вроде 21 год, но такое чувство, что это совсем другая игра. В чём-то это так и есть. Некоторые места ты сразу узнаешь, что в той или другой комнате поменяли. Но есть и совершенно новые комнаты. Сюжет идет совсем другой дорогой (в буквальном смысле). Если тут, играя за Клэр, ты на лифте Шефа Айронса возвращаешься в R.P.D., то в оригинале наоборот, ты выбираешься с его помощью. Не буду сильно спойлерить и портить ощущения от игры. Игру обязательно покупайте. Capcom в последнее время начала просыпаться и делать превосходные игры, как в былые времена.

Also, the second run through (B scenarios) seem to be put in in a rush and don't match up the First runs as good as in the original game.

So many elements is nailed just right. Let me try and make it short and sweet.

    Pros:
    + Graphics - Game look simply stunning, and it's wonderfully optimized, plays well on many configurations

    + Sound - from the eerie sound of your own footsteps to the creepy noises of the undead to the gunshots ringing out in the hallways, the sound design is simply perfection.

    + Atmosphere and nostalgia - They really nailed the feeling from the original Resident Evil 2 while still keeping it fresh and up to modern standards, as a Resident Evil fan that have played every single one of them, I am highly satisfied. And no I'm not just a completely fanboy that can't see wrong, recently Resident Evil 6 did a lot of things terribly and is possibly my least favorite game in the series.

    +Gameplay - Compared to a lot of games that eventually lets you have the feeling of safety, Resident Evil 2 remake never gives you this. You don't have enough ammo to kill all enemies, if you don't board up the windows they'll keep coming at you. You'll have to bob and weave, shoot for the legs, run as fast as you can to avoid the enemies. And without spoiling too much you'll surely know what it means to be powerless, to just have to run for your life.

    ~Story - I consider this element neutral, the story is what it is, it's resident evil so it's kind of corny, it's just what the franchise is known for. If you've enjoyed previous entries I see no reason why you wouldn't enjoy this. If you're the kind of person looking for oscar nominee performances you're not going to find it here.

    -Cons - It was really difficult to come up with something, yes the game can be brutally difficult and frustrating at times, but I don't really feel like this is a con as much as a "git gud" type of situation.

    Through and through Capcom have made a home run with Remake 2 and I desperately hope to see them recreate other games in the franchise with the same attention to detail and passion to please it's core audience.

    Can't recommend this game highly enough, in fact, if you by any chance is still reading, I beg you to buy the game, give Capcom a reason to keep producing these amazing games.    … Expand

    Gameplay: The level design and gameplay mechanics are an excellent mix between the old and new seen in the original and new resident evil games. Suspense oozes out of every scene creating tension over every step. The shooting is extremely satisfying with hands down the best zombies and animations you can see anywhere in a game till date.

So what will you do , huh? Cry to mama, this is an option I guess but than you will become zombie's meal. Option A is to shoot off zombie's leg (should be doable with 3 bullets) and run quickly pass it. Option B, chop off zombie's arms and leave him b(e)ite someone else. Option C - survive, somehow.

    Bad:
    The difficulty is horrible. The game play has absolutely no mercy for you. Everything you do has to be planed to the tinniest bit. Every mistake you make and get over, it will turn back to bite you, so hard that you will probably have to restart the game or reload a very old save. For instance if you don't use the wooden boards on the windows cleverly, you will have big difficulties in getting past the zombies further in the game. If you don't manage to save the ammo, you'll end up restarting the game. Even on assisted mode the game is still very difficult. Every move you make on the map, has to have at least two calculated possibilities until you make it. You'll have to save and reload a hundred times to pass a certain boss/situation.

    If you are the meticulous type and you enjoy a challenge, then this game is for you. Every other normal human should probably buy something else. For me it was a no go, because there was more stress then pleasure in this game while playing it.    … Expand

    While I can often be generous scoring a mediocre game, I rarely if ever call a game a 10. It takes a special experience to achieve that score. Resident Evil 2 for PS4 provides that experience. I played the original Resident Evil 2 when it first released during my college days, and I liked it a lot.

I played the original Resident Evil 2 when it first released during my college days, and I liked it a lot. I was excited for this remake, but I figured I would already know what was going to happen. Boy, was I wrong. Capcom has completely rewritten the events that happen in the game, and even if you have played the original dozens of times, you won't know whats coming in this new version. The quality of the gameplay is really mind blowing. The combat feels perfect, and the movement is smooth and silky. The graphics are outstanding, and do an excellent job conveying a sense of dread as you play. The sound is fantastic and adds so much to the creepiness. The music is extremely sparingly used, and what is there, is ambient and in the background. The only time it picks up is during certain scenes I won't describe for fear of spoiling something. If there is other music that I didn't notice, it's because it's so perfectly blended into the game. Speaking of spoiling, I highly recommend you go into this game blind if you can. The moments that shocked me would have had much less impact if I knew they were coming. If you are a fan of horror games, then this is a must buy. If you are a fan of games in general, I highly suggest you give it a shot. There are very few modern survival horror games of this type that receive the universal acclaim this game has received. If you have never played a survival horror game, this is a perfect entry into the genre. Capcom has provided 3 difficulty modes to fit every gamer. Hardcore for the survival horror experts, Standard, for those comfortable with shooters of this nature, and Assisted for those completely new to the genre, or for those who have difficulty aiming with a controller. If survival horror games intimidate you, there is no shame on giving it a go on an easier difficulty. It's such a great game, it would be a shame for someone to miss out on it. I can't recommend a game more highly than I recommend this one. Go out and play it!… Expand

    Resident Evil 2 is the pinnacle of a franchise that’s on an upswing after a series of ups and downs. It’s the product of a Capcom that understands its fanbase and reverently respects its survival horror roots. Resident Evil 2 improved nearly everything from the original without screwing anything up in the process, and it will be remembered as another Resident Evil classic because of it.Resident Evil 2 is the pinnacle of a franchise that’s on an upswing after a series of ups and downs.

    Very fun game, it's near Picture perfect compared to the original RE2 game. I had a blast playing it and there is no MTX here and plus there is more free dlc coming out for this game on top of an already masterpice worthy game. It's fantastic!

    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    A noobs experience with the seminal survival horror.

    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.    … Expand

    You really couldn't ask for more from a remake of a classic. In the original: tank controls, deviously positioned "cameras", and more enemies in small areas than we saw in RE1 were the things that kept you on edge.

In this remake, tank controls are trashed for the more immersive over-the-shoulder view, but zombies are far more resilient, and can stream in periodically from broken windows. No room feels safe. 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.    … Expand

    Así es como se hacen las cosas, esa sensación de estar escaso de todo y tener a muertos vivientes soplándote en la nuca en vez de sentirte inmortal porque sabes que te atiborrarán de municiones y hierbas es la sensación que necesitaba en un Resident Evil, haciendo grande este título otra vez.

    This game is fantastic! It feels like I traveled back in time to play my favourite PS1 game, just without mourning about the graphics! :) It looks great, the changes to the original all make sense, the enemy and weapon balance is amazing! Every enemy is a threat and has it's own strategy to fight (or not to fight). I played it roughly 10 times nearly back to back.

    Disfruté mucho jugándolo, me llevé buenos sustos y es bastante largo gracias a las 2 campañas que tiene, los puzzles son ingeniosos y te hacen recorrer mucho el mapa para resolverlos, distintas dificultades y los logros te hacen que sea bastante rejugable. La historia me pareció muy buena.

    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.

    Basically perfect remake. They did best they could with what they had. Original had really good base for locations and bosses, so they just took what was there and made it better in every way.

    The remake of one of my favorite games had potential to blow my mind. Calming down after the hype it didn't quite do that. Of course I was going to love it, I'd love oatmeal if it was RE2-themed.

    The core gameplay is overall very good, it's streamlined and very easy to play. It skips a lot of stuff RE2 originally had but also adds some sections that fit it well.

    The core gameplay is overall very good, it's streamlined and very easy to play. It skips a lot of stuff RE2 originally had but also adds some sections that fit it well. My favorite moments in the remake are the little ones, when you recognize a reference. Sherry lifting her leg while climbing up on a thing agonizingly slow. That limping female zombie next to the dumpster you climb on.

    There are some special events and areas (such as playing as another character) where completely new gameplay mechanics are forced on the player for a while. While they mostly feel out of place and tedious, they only compromise small parts of the game that overall is quite solid.

    I'm not sure what to make of the fact that there is enough ammunition to kill absolutely everything in the game on standard difficulty, provided you don't miss shots a lot. Roaming the empty hallways after you've cleared them does kill the survival horror vibe but I see no other way when you want to cater to completionists - and I'm glad they do.

    This game does play like an ego shooter if that's your style. It feels a lot like survival horror if you just rush forward without planning everything out. This game feels like it's aimed at modern shooter audience but if you're an old school RE fan you should give the demo try and see how it feels.    … 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]
