    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.

    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

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.… Expand

I just wish the claire story was a little different because doing the same things was boring. Nice work, Nice remake!

    The story remains unchanged, following Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they navigate the zombie-infested Raccoon City. The tension and suspense have been ramped up to new levels, making each encounter with the undead a heart-pounding experience. The puzzles are just as challenging as they were in the original, but with the added bonus of beautiful, high-resolution visuals.

    The sound design is top-notch, with every shot, groan, and scream adding to the atmosphere. The voice acting is also noteworthy, with excellent performances from the cast bringing the characters to life.

    In conclusion, if you're a fan of the original Resident Evil 2 or are just looking for a terrifying and well-made survival horror game, this Remake is a must-play. It's a testament to the timeless appeal of the original and a showcase of what can be achieved with modern technology. Highly recommended!    … Expand

    First of all, the gameplay. The level design here is impeccable in a way that, when you start the game, you don't realize that you will be familiarized so much with it. That's what happened with my gf. She complained about the size of it, saying that was too much to learn. Eventually, she was running around figuring out things by herself and enjoying it. besides, when the game requires exploration in order to progress and outplay the enemies, it becomes natural. And there's Mr. X also... man, she was terrified. Even I, whose already beaten the game, was anxious about his steps.

    The plot involves you fast. The premise itself is crazy. You wanna know what is happening impersonally when you arrive at the police station, but how much more you are deep into that **** the more you wanna know since a lot of things are at stake. Also, the graphics are so good here. The characters aren't unidimensional, and the facial expressions help them so much to transmit it. Talking about that subject, we can not forget about the gore. Jess, it's crazy good and satisfying.

    At least, but not less important, the audio design. For some reason, I decided to put my soundbar on my desktop. I put the bar below the monitor and the subwoofer below the desk and man... We could feel the pressure of the flame thrower, every shot with the sub and the steps of Mr. X were even more terrifying. I couldn't recommend it more.

    Right now, we're starting RE 3.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is a phenomenal game which offers a large amount of content for the price that you pay for it. It is one of those games where you will truly get your money's worth, especially when it goes on sale.

    First of all there are two campaigns, Claire and Leon. They are similar but different in a multitude of ways, different endings, different parts of the Police Station you can access, different weapons, but once you play your second playthrough as the opposite character from your starting one, you'll notice that some parts of the game are more or less the same.

    The game looks amazing, the amount of detail the graphic designers put into the police station and other set pieces to make the game look realistic is outstanding, there are so many small and fine details that are easy to miss but if you just take a moment to appreciate it, you'll notice the real love that went into this game.

    Combat is pretty decent, but if you go around trying to permanently put down every zombie you see, you'll run out of ammo fast. There is only a set limit of how much ammo you can obtain each playthrough, enemies do not drop extra ammo upon killing them, which players might be used to if they've come from playing the 4-6 games. The part that makes the game proper survival horror, is knowing when to fight and when to run, consider saving your ammo for when you truly need it.

    The puzzles are great and I personally don't think the backtracking in this game feels as tedious as it does in most games, mainly due to the fact that you might think you've cleared an area but something has changed whilst you've been away or some random zombie has decided to go for a wander and now he's there to contend with. The puzzles themselves aren't necessarily difficult but as long as you keep ample inventory space, you'll be fine.

    The story is pretty decent, it's really just about surviving and trying to get out of the City and more revelations reveal themselves about the origin of the breakout and what not as you progress; as well as different files dotted around the map to give you some context and some world building, but in terms of storytelling it's definitely not on the same level as something like Death Stranding or Detroit Become Human.

    I only had one gripe with the game and it wasn't consistent all the way through, sometimes you do just get slapped with special infected or a copious unmanageable mount of Zombies at one time, and you can easily be stun locked if you're not careful.

    It's also worth noting that after completing the game you unlocked "2nd Run" mode, which basically is the same game but the items are in different places and certain things play out differently, it gives the game excellent replayability as you won't know the locations of all the items you got in your first playthrough. More games should learn from this.

    Another fantastic feature is the "Records" bonus content, where you get three short scenarios about three different characters from the game that aren't really expanded upon. Most developers/publishers would have released this as a paid DLC, but it's completely FREE and in the game, giving you some new characters to play with a new scenario to play out. So there's some extra content after you finish the main campaigns, once or twice.

    Overall, Resident Evil 2 is a testament to how games that were limited by their technology at the time can be remade into near perfection. This is how the game was meant to be played and any developer, in my opinion, that remakes a game that does not fit this standard of remake that Resident Evil 2 offers, shouldn't bother making it.

    9/10, you will absolutely not regret this purchase.    … Expand

    An experience unlike most others I have had in my gaming life. This has to be the first time I have played a game 6 times in 30 hours over 2 weeks. Obviously the nature of the games structure is the reason for this, but it’s brilliant nonetheless. Found myself speedrunning the game and loving every second.

    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]
