    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is great. It's a must play. You will discover what makes this game a 'must play' while you play it.
    However, I felt that was given too much importance for secondary characters like Ada and Sherry in a non sense way. The relationship between main and secondary characters was forced and rushed. For instance, Leon meets a japanese woman in the sewers full of monsters and kiss her. This is weird and makes no sense. Another point is that the puzzles was too easy; I personally think that should have more complex puzzles, and not just 'pick a key and unlock the door that contains another key that unlock another door'.    … Expand

    A 10/10 game means it has no glaring flaws, missing pieces or faults and accomplishes exactly what it set out to do. For what it's worth, RE2's remake is perhaps the most on-point and well directed remakes/remasters possible, and for that alone I think it's worthy of high praise.

    And the 2nd run's idea is just brilliant, playing with the 2nd character and going through what you've done in your 1st playthrough with the 1st character, I really liked that (although it could be tweaked a bit more, like if you killed Marvin in the 1st run you'd find him dead in the 2nd run, and this sort of things).

    Overall, this is one of the few games that never made me regret what I've paid for buying it.

Skip forward several years after I'd eventually played and loved the original, to more recently when the Resident Evil 2 remake was announced I was ecstatic, of course in this day and age with ALOT of sub-par AAA games I tried not to get my hopes up too high like I have done with several other games I'd been excited for (Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Fallout 4, Far Cry 5, Dead Rising 4 etc) and been let down dramatically so, but Resident Evil holds a special place in my heart, and it does not disappoint. This is easily not only the best remake I've ever played, but the best game I've ever played. Not since I was a little kid have I gone to bed and not been able to sleep because I was thinking about a video game, Resident Evil 2 gives me that sensation and more, I love it, and you will too (If you're not easily scared)… Expand

Por momentos sentía mucha nostalgia por las similitudes que hay con el original, pero había momentos donde si lograba sorprenderme con alguna que otra cosilla además de esa tensión constante en la que te mantiene el juego para que no puedas pararte ni un solo momento a descansar. En ningún momento del juego pude sentirme tranquilo, siempre sentía que era observado o que en cualquier momento aparecería algo que me haría saltar de mi asiento. La atmósfera está muy bien lograda y el Soundtrack acompaña muy bien cada situación. Esto va más allá de un simple Remake, esto es un juego totalmente nuevo, es el Resident Evil 2 reimaginado en una forma totalmente distinta a la original, desde el apartado técnico/gráfico hasta la jugabilidad y la narrativa. Este Resident Evil 2 se inspira en su homónimo de 1998 pero sin querer ser un calco de éste. Recomiendo ampliamente a todo el mundo que le de una oportunidad este juego.

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.    … Expand

    Masterpiece of a game, the controls are much better than the original and the fixed camera from the old games is gone. Also there is free DLC, the Ghost Survivors. Even if you didn't play the original you will probably still enjoy this game. In the horror department after a while it's not very scary but its still eerie. 10 out of 10.

    Ok, the game is good, it's fun. Exploring the environments, puzzles, graphics, even the cutscenes and characters, all excellent. It mostly reminded me of RE7 with the inventory and simple but streamlined weapon upgrades and you can tell it's made with the same graphics engine.

    From the design of the game it is obvious you are not supposed to kill every enemy but instead run past many of them by either creeping, baiting an attack and then running or stunning with a bullet or grenade then running. The problem is when you can't do that enemies will grab you and this triggers a micro animation every time and it get's irritating when there's nothing you can do about it. If a licker shows up your supposed to be able to creep past it but realistically you have to kill it as there will also be other enemies near by that you have to run past and that will alert the licker.

    Boss fights are another weak element to the game. Runaway turn around shoot, runaway turn around shoot. And because your so slow and enemies are so fast you always get grabbed or hit which again becomes annoying.

    I think the longevity of this game will come down to speedrunning and possible future game modes like mercenaries. The question is do you want to speedrun this game when the enemies are such a pain.    … 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.

While the gameplay is excellent, and the game is something like 3 times longer than the original, there is a real lack of context. a lot of the files that we had in the original and text descriptions of things we could inspect, are all gone from this. This makes the world feel empty and less livedTo preface, there is a lot of good about this game, but I need to tell you it's shortcomings. While the gameplay is excellent, and the game is something like 3 times longer than the original, there is a real lack of context. a lot of the files that we had in the original and text descriptions of things we could inspect, are all gone from this. This makes the world feel empty and less lived in. It's a real shame.

    the worst part though is how Capcom handled the two stories of the original. basically they're gone. this game is one story. except for some bizarre reason, you have to play the same game twice, once for Sherry's sections and again for Ada's sections and the proper ending.
    aside from those things, the game is pretty much exactly the same for both. Mr X was even pulled from mission B and put into all scenarios.

    This was a big disappointment. I was expecting to get a new B scenario with an enemy and events that did not happen in my first play-through. instead i got the A scenario of the other character and an extra boss at the end. This was so disappointing that I just feel the need to warn other potential players.

    I don't recommend this if you want 2 scenarios and The rich backstory we came to expect. only buy it if you want an exciting single story with great gameplay and environments and don't mind being forced to play it all again to get your full ending.    … Expand

    This game is definitely great for people who really enjoys horrific traditional RE 1-3 gameplay experiences. But probably not for players who really enjoys the co-op zombie slaying Resident Evil 5-6, but 2 points for its graphics and its plot, 1 point for my own support to the Resident Evil Series

    A style over substance game that completely phones in story consequences. A and B scenarios make so little difference between the characters, playing them in reverse order needed a bonus weapon just to differentiate them. Also going back to "if you don't have a weapon you're defenseless" era gameplay? Even in RE1 you could still stomp a zombie that bit your legs on the head.

Also going back to "if you don't have a weapon you're defenseless" era gameplay? Even in RE1 you could still stomp a zombie that bit your legs on the head. And by god does breakable melee weapons feel arbitrary, do they make them out of cheese? Losing knives defensively is one thing, but when they break after a few deft thrusts into a rotting corpses melon?

    And finally, RNG guns. Look, i get you want people to feel the survival in survival horror, actually weigh up whether running or gunning is the better option and actually make them feel somewhat powerless. But a gun that can blast open a zombies skull in a single shot, then takes 15 on the next zombie? It starts ruining suspension of belief. Either make it so area damage is consistent, or that you need to overcome regeneration. RNG is just immersion breaking.

    Otherwise the game brings nothing new to the table. It's literally just a graphics update with content altered or removed entirely.

    At least Hunk and Tofu are back though.

    Oh and immediate minus points for day one DLC and pre order bonus'; they're cancer and need to stop. Visuals are a part of the experience too. So carving out costumes so you can wring a few extra dollars from fans is poo tier behavior.

    The only reason the game doesn't score lower, is mechanically, the game is solid; no stupid bugs or broken content. (that i found anyway) This is how a game should be released. I'd score it higher for that alone if it weren't for the fact that this is how it should be normally. Not something you do for a reward.    … Expand

    the score is only for the resident evil series (including movies), characters I like and the models of them.
    bad story telling, usually makes no sense and with an nonsense ending.
    bad action and interaction when fighting
    bad resource balance, usually searching the map is a waste of time
    absolutely no freedom.
    can be made into a better different game.

    The we have combat which is just piss poor bullet sponge shooting range. If upgrades shotgun at point blank doesn't always blow the head off for basic zombie - it says it all and basic handgun - oh boy - it's 5-8 headshots to kill anything.. Then there are few bosses which also suck - but it's hard to describe them without spoilers - all I can tell you basically kite them around loading all ammo you have into them to then execute in a silly way - because someone thought it's fun but IT'S NOT.

    The game is very atmospheric and climatic (but sadly not scary at all) overall and brings back that old school game nostalgia, but sorry - it's not 10/10 or even 8/10. Anyone saying that way is straight up lying to your face because he is massive fanboy of RE series most likely. It's not bad game, but it's not as amazing as others say. I'm leaving 7/10 which is what it's worth at most, tho probably not even that.    … Expand

    RE2 has always been a scary, thrilling game that still freaks me out at times and is about trying to survive to get out more so than killing zombies as I try to avoid them with a bullet to the knee if I can't run past them easily so I don't waste ammo. The puzzles are good, challenging enough without being overly difficult to figure out. It also has great characters and story.

    The only thing I don't like is that the story is a bit disjointed and doesn't flow in the 2nd run of whoever you didn't play the first time. But I wont give details as don't want to spoil it for those who have never played.
    And extra modes aren't my thing. I am not interested in speed runs as that's all the extra modes are for trying to test your skills in trying to complete it as fast as possible.

    The new additions could have been better worked and the DLC, in some way, have made them canonical and not a kind of "speedrun" and "collection of deaths" and little else.

Stunning graphics thanks to the RE engine, a creepy atmosphere and good voice acting make this one of the best remakes i have played.

    Literally, the only reason the score isn't a 10 is that I wasn't a huge fan of the dlc's Ghost Survivors. I liked the stories and all but not the gameplay. Wasn't my favorites to be honest, however, I liked playing AS those characters.

    Игра великолепна. Всё в ней прекрасно от геймплея до графики. Атмосферные локации, хорошая проработка уровней до самых мелочей, реалистичная, будто взятая из видео внешность персонажей, объемные звуки, экшен и чуть ужаса - всё это определенно присутствует в этом переиздании.
    Игра не дает расслабиться, почувствовать себя в безопасности. Даже некогда, как мы думаем, точки сохранения, где мы уверены, что не получим какого-то вреда, становятся такими же опасными; как и все остальные помещения. Привет, Тиран, Марвин!
    В игре так же имеются загадки, без прохождения которых вы не двинетесь дальше по сюжету. Они не сложные, логичные и вполне решаемые, не с первого раза, так точно со второго или третьего.
    Самой интересной локацией для меня стала самая первая - полицейский участок. Он действительно соответствовал хорору. Дальше всё покатилось больше к перестрелкам, но это отнюдь не минус. Появлялось новое оружие, новые монстры.
    Наиграв 10 часов, я закончила компанию за Леона и сразу же перешла к компании Клэр. И тут началось разочарования...Из-за которых я не смогла поставить максимальный балл этой игре. Компания за Клэр начинается точно так же как из-за Леона, я знаю, что дальше будет ответвление, которое будет разительным образом отличаться от компании за Леона, но начало такое же и загадки тоже. Это меня расстроило и я уже не посчитала интересным проходить компанию за Клэр.
    Дополнительные режимы, сделанные разработчиками разнообразны и даже драматичны. Они привносят еще положительных эмоций от игры.
    В общем, все мои ожидания оправдались. Я получила то, что хотела: красавчика Леона с прокачанной моделькой, текстурами. Я насладилась сюжетом, его поворотами и любовной линией. Определенно, игра доставила мне удовольствие.
    В общем 9 Леонов из 10.

    After the commercial success of Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2 brings back that primal fear of zombies that has been lacking from the series. While the black mold of RE7 is one thing to fear, as well as familial insanity, this brings it back to basics, and shows us just how terrifying the zombies of old can be.

The way you will feel how you get stronger and stronger because of the inventory you are getting through the story, how you go on opening different paths and connecting them making shortcuts, the boss fights.

    Pros:

    -Faithful survival horror gameplay -Zombies and how they dismember and behave - Strong atmosphere, especially with the police station -Puzzles are reasonably satisfying for not be frustrating to solve Cons: Lack of differences and cohesion between campaigns Short Cheap boss fights (Way behind RE7 in this regard) Underwhelming story Debatable: Mr. X- If he was    Pros:

    -Faithful survival horror gameplay

    Cons:

    Debatable:

    Mr. X- If he was around anymore then he was I'd list him as a negative but lucky it didn't reach that point at least for me.

    All in all I'd give it an 8.5 if I could but I'll round down to 8 to balance out all the 10s that don't point out any of the games flaws.    … Expand

    A Great Remake, such a nostalgia.

    I've first played this game with my uncle when I was 5. Now seeing it remaked, it's so much fun. Firstly I loved how they integrated the RE 4's shoulder view to the characters. I think it's best to demonstrate the gameplay to the player now. So many details in the models. Graphic engine is really smooth, detailed and optimized. Loved the variations of    A Great Remake, such a nostalgia.

I think it's best to demonstrate the gameplay to the player now. So many details in the models. Graphic engine is really smooth, detailed and optimized. Loved the variations of the zombies (if I'm not wrong 12 different male zombies and 4 female ones, which is a great detailing.) Loved the model depart system applied to the zombies so that the limbs can fall with each shot. Leon looks a little bit like a puppy with his voice. Claire also looks good but a little bit chubby on the cheekbones. I'm just critizing these for a better visual/performance. I think Leon and Claire should share more moments and cooperate more in the gameplay, yet if we play second-run it automatically ignores the first run for the other character, which is odd. I think Ada should have more role in the game since we will not be able to see her soon. They really put some great effort in her and she looks great in this remake. My first play was long (about 10 hours). I have tried to investigate everyplace and confused going to the places to solve the problems in the map so I had to go over like 3-4 times in my first run. The other runs were pretty faster for me, except the different riddles. (My last run was about 2 hours) Anyway, I think it's a little bit short game but still loved the visual greatness, the nostalgia, iconic characters coming back to life again such as Leon, Claire and Ada, also seeing Mr.X was great. Looking forward to the next game. CAPCOM did such a fantastic job with the whole models, textures, game engine, gameplay, mocaps (especially for the storytelling). They screwed things up in RE 6 but I think they put some effort and tried to fix their sins in the recent games such as RE7. I hope to play RE 3 Remake and RE 8 when they come out. Well done.    … Expand

    The game is not bad. Great atmosphere, good graphics. But this is not a masterpiece. Passage for Leon is quite short. And when you pass the second time for Claire, then almost all the puzzles and tasks, as in the first passage. This is terribly boring! I'm so sick of it that I threw a second walk in the middle. And I am infuriated with unkillable opponents.

    This game It exceeded my expectation as a remake, since the original was a masterpiece, i was scared they can't reach the bar that high, but i was wrong this is the best remake in game history, also the best resident evil game, now i hope they remake Code Veronica and 3.

    -El juego es un "what if", o sea "que pasaría si" la historia la termina Leon o la termina Claire. Que necesidad real puede existir para simplificar de esa manera el juego?

    -Ni se molestaron en hacer la mítica escena cuando aparece el Licker o la caída del helicóptero, el aparato se estrella y Leon si apenas reacciona haciendo chistes estúpidos cuando se encuentra (por única vez) con Claire.

    -Agregaron la posibilidad de crear munición mezclando pólvoras (algo que le pertenece al RE3) por lo menos Jill tenia la decencia de usar una herramienta para crear las balas.

    -Pésimo diseño de Mr X, y el hecho de que te siga a todos lados no es "aterrador" es molesto.

    -La segunda pelea contra Birkin es una copia barata de la lucha que tiene Claire contra el Tyrant en el avión rumbo a la Antártida en Code Veronica...lamentable.

    -Todo el gameplay con Ada es ridículo por que no aporta nada, en el original Ada mantenía una conversación de la mas interesante y reveladora con Annette ahora no.

    -La historia al no complementarse la empobrece, por ej: en el original había que sintetizar una vacuna para salvar a Sherry; ahora basta con tomarla en lugar del virus(gameplay de Leon).

    -El jefe Irons era sombrío y macabro, ahora es estúpido y patético.

    -Los RE nunca se caracterizaron por tener buenos puzzles, pero esta vez se les fue la mano. No solo hay que buscar X item en lugares ultra imbéciles como el componente electrónico en el campanario, si no que también hay que resolver un puzzle.. o sea todo se resume a encontrar y resolver, encontrar y resolver, es estúpido.

    -Si no jugaste al original es probable que en un principio no sepas que son y de donde vienen las criaturas de las alcantarillas (algo que no pasaba en el original).

    -No recrea de ninguna manera la atmósfera que generaba el original... la banda sonora esta ausente.

    Si me pongo a pensar, seguro que le sigo encontrando defectos, estos son los que recuerdo ahora.

    -Un juego decente, pero no es la remake que un juego tan legendario como RE2 merece.    … 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.

    Game is fantastic. Have clocked close to 75 hours playing it through multiple times even finishing it on hardcore. Only mention this because I rarely replay a game after completing it so it is a testament to how good the game is. My biggest gripe is that I feel it is a bit too short. You can complete the true ending, that is Leon and Claire's play through in like 16 hours and that is firstGame is fantastic.

You can probably do it in 12 hours once you know what to do. I think it should have been 20 hours for first time. Luckily I got the game on sale for half price. But I highly recomend this game.

    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]
