    Muito bom o jogo, trouxe de volta para a serie todo o ambiente de terror que tinha se perdido em Resident Evil 5 e 6. Parabéns estamos esperando o remake do 3.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake became one of my favourite games of all time. It's utterly terrific. The game is short but is almost perfect in each detail and Capcom must invest in this mechanics for now on. The soundtrack, the environment, the gameplay and the survival horror is BACK! It's definitely 10/10 game and you must play it.

    Bien, comenzaré con una declaración muy subjetiva:
    "Es el MEJOR REMAKE que haya jugado junto a Metroid Zero Mission y RE Remake"
    Con eso en mente, en verdad es increíble como se replantea la propagación del Virus T en Raccon City, el apartado sonoro es magnifico, aunque obviamente que algunas cosas quedaron fuera, ya sea por la ambientación o la seriedad que se le da a las cinemáticas    Bien, comenzaré con una declaración muy subjetiva:

    If Resident Evil 7 hasn't proved to you that the franchise still has a lot to offer in terms of horror. Than the RE2 remake definitely will. With so much replayability, and some of the best graphics and gore I've ever seen in a horror game. This truly deserves to be called best video game remake ever.

    I'm a huge RE fan. Been playing since RE1 came out way back when and to see what CAPCOM did to remake this game is a 10 out of 10 no question. This game has 0 issues for me. It's a true gem and GOTY contender imo.
    If you have not gotten this game thinking you've already played the original and there's nothing new here you're wrong. Pick this up and see why this game is a 10!

    This game is so good it set a new standard for future RE games. The only nitpicks I have is the characters should be able to run faster - even for a short period of time - and turn on and off the flashlight at will. Everything else is almost perfect.

    One of the best remakes of games ever made, the game brings new details to the plot giving more cohesion to events. Gameplay as well as all the dynamics and graphics of the game are accurate. Some elements of the classic game were missing. I felt that there was a lack of interaction between the protagonists.

Now lets get into why, first off i thought the game play and puzzles was really fun and after beat leons a story i was ready for more but the playing claries b and even claire a leon b it feels like they didn't even try to make the two stories make sense together. SPOILERS to start of in Claires b Annette dies before the cut scene where she runs into Leon again(now you can pretend like she just passed out but looks very much like she dead) secondly William kills Mr. X before he mutates into bigger Mr. X which is fine except for the fact he is running around chasing Leon after that point in his trench coat that doesn't have a big slash in it or anything. Thirdly it takes a couple boss fight and has them at the same place in the same way in each story first William fight he breaks the platform your on and then fall down, then as the other character he also breaks the same platform which the platform should already be broken in on which this isn't a bigger deal but after a while gets ignoring. Then they also redo this fight with a crane and William, then redo a another fight with William and this is the worst one. On Leon William jumps do Annette shows up shoots him with some sort of freeze gun and then send Leon to fight it in Claire's at the same exact place even right before Leon does it , he drops down Annette shoots him with the same thing and then Claire goes down herself. Then at the part where Claire is behind the gate and can't get into the police station from the trailer will as so as Leon leaves she comes right in 2 minutes later from that gate because apparently the key was not far away which makes no sense why they never run into each again until the end. Last complaint Mr. X now on Hardcore he is probably really hard but normal he is nothing all you got to do is run from him and he won't catch you and this only happens for a small portion of the game to the point that i don't care about him at all. Now some positives lickers are terrifying and hard just the way they was in the original, fun but easy puzzles, and fun game play. i enjoyed the upgrading guns and combing gunpowder together which is also one of the reason i liked 3. In the end if you can get past that if feels like the developers just wanted to rush the game to release it faster and not worry about stories screwing up the other its really fun but the fact that they kept saying they was going for a more canon and then its more noticeable then anything make it quite frustrating… Expand

    Maintaining the horrifyingly tense atmosphere of the first one and recreating everything from the ground-up, this is just as good as the original. The police station is the best part, since traversing through its dark halls and managing the "Mr.X Factor" becomes the highlight of the entire thing. On the sewers, thngs get a bit weird, but the interconected environments makes up for it. TheMaintaining the horrifyingly tense atmosphere of the first one and recreating everything from the ground-up, this is just as good as the original. The police station is the best part, since traversing through its dark halls and managing the "Mr.X Factor" becomes the highlight of the entire thing. On the sewers, thngs get a bit weird, but the interconected environments makes up for it. The pacing quickly gets back up when you reach the lab and the ending is just as incredible as it was on the PS1. Everything here feels fresh and new, yet extremely faithful to the original. I love how they kept the intensity of the combat system, forcing you to always be aware of your surroundings and always hope for more bullets and health items, while having just enough to get by.
    If you played the OG, you'll get a nostalgia trip, while drowning in the many surprises and twists that the campaign throws on you.

    The gameplay is good, albeit VERY difficult. I still don't think they managed to capture the magic of the "over the shoulder camera" as well as in RE4 or RE5, but what they did here was amazing. Backtracking doesn't feel as boring as in the original and its actually a fun and fundamental part of the game. Puzzles are fine and the "AHA!" moments make you look like a genius, even if things just happened naturally. I just wish it had less puzzles. It can break the ominous mood, sometimes.

    One thing that bothered me: I'm not in love the story. It suffers from the same problem that the first Remake did. I know that RE always had that "B-Horror-Movie" feel to it and I appreciate that it does that with quality, but couldn't they just... fix this? I LOVE the characters, but the writing feels bland! Claire and Leon's interactions were better on the original because there are almost none in here. Maybe it's the fact that OG handled the differences between A & B runs better.
    Also, this game is dark. Intentionally dark, but TOO DAMN DARK!

    As for the extras, I liked them, but not all of them. The Tofu and Hunk's scnenario were fun but Ghost Survivors just felt objectivelly hard, for no reason. I feel like these modes would've worked better if they added new crowd control movesets, like in RE4. But anyway, it's more RE2 and that's great!

    This one might be the scariest game I've ever played and one of the best Remakes ever. It made me love the franchise even more. Despite a few hiccups, this is a MUST PLAY!    … Expand

    As an old player, who was 12 when first playing RE1 and RE2 back in the day, I was worried about this remake, thinking "it wouldn't be as it was". And it wasn't, not completely. However, the characters feels genuine and as I remember them, some of the more epic moments has been kept in like I remembered them and the storyline is, albeit built up more, pretty much as I remember it. WhereAs an old player, who was 12 when first playing RE1 and RE2 back in the day, I was worried about this remake, thinking "it wouldn't be as it was". And it wasn't, not completely. However, the characters feels genuine and as I remember them, some of the more epic moments has been kept in like I remembered them and the storyline is, albeit built up more, pretty much as I remember it. Where they've made changes, they've put in alternative scenes, like changing the first licker meeting to a different location or made it play out a bit differently; while yet still having the "feel of the moment" be preserved. I still remember that mind-numbing horror from first seeing the licker, and I felt it again now; to an even greater degree because they have somehow managed to make lickers feel even more bloody terrifying than they were! They're bigger, faster and a genuine threat that makes you hesitate to take them on even if you need to for the one reason or the other. The zombies, you can still run circles around them, for the most part, but they are really pesky and tend to get back up again. So seeing a hallway with 2 or more of them still cause a big lump in my throat, because like the original, ammo is scarce, health items are scarce; and you constantly have to be watchful of how much you spend needlessly.

    I can't comment on much more without spoiling, but that's the essence of it. Somehow, they have recreated the "scares" and amplified them! RE2 RM is an absolutely terrifying game to play at times; and there are moments where you think you're safe, just to turn around and see something that makes your heart pretty much explode. I don't know how many times I started swearing at the screen, cause something scared the living you know what out of me. And I'm not that easy to scare, to be honest, having been a horror movie/-games fan for many years.

    And it does a good job of making sure you get the kind of game experience you want. If you like it rough, there's hard-core mode. If you're on the squeamish side, there's an easy mode. And if you think maybe you just wanna go the middle way, there's that option too. Another thing I really liked was that you can choose your controller set; alternative buttons for various actions. The default button for the running toggle is the R3 (stick) which is rough on my thumb which tends to get inflamed. I could switch the controller set to one where the run toggle was on R1 instead, which is much easier on my hands. So albeit giving you a hard core horrifying experience; the game mechanics themselves are user friendly and gives a lot of options so that you can play the game in a way that's comfortable for you and gives you the kind of experience you want.

    Last things; this game, is possibly the most gorgeous game I have seen in a long, long time! Sure, it's bloody and full of gore, but man those graphics are absolutely amazing from the scenery to the facial animations of the characters. And the atmosphere, created by the eerie music, weird scary noises and the flickering lights here and there; its brutal and ingenious all at the same time. I can't even begin to say how impressed I was by how they've built this fantastic horror play box. There's some serious effort that's been put in and every facet of the game is so incredibly well done.

    For me, who was worried when the details of the game started coming out, I can't say anything else than that they really positively surprised me in the end. It's an easy 10/10 for me; and I am so happy that they did such an amazing job with it, considering I've been waiting 5 years for this game to finally show up, after they announced it was in the works. Must be five years now, no? I waited before that too, but the point is; this old timer is very happy with the end result! And even though Claire and Leon looks younger, it makes sense that they do since they are actually supposed to be quite young and looked perhaps a bit too old for their actual age in the older games. Ada was portrayed pretty well too, although she looks more Asian/white than actual Asian. Imagine a Kristin Kreuk, only maybe a bit less sweet and with a bit more bite.

    I babble. 10/10 guys. Highly recommended if you like scaring yourself silly, hehe. And it works for both old timers like me and the new crowd, I'd imagine, as it tells the story well and stands on its own feet.    … Expand

    I hated Leon and the original RE. The first 3 look angry as hell and the others were more action than horror but this game made me love the original story. RE7 was the first RE I saw and I loved it but I still prefer RE2 because its just that good.

    This game overall did everything I had hoped it would do and more. This is how I remember Resident Evil. I can only hope for a Resident Evil 3 remake in the same way soon.

    I only have a few negative things I can say about it. Most of which just sort of pay homage to earlier games. Such as being attacked takes a few seconds... but it also raises the tension as any other enemy in the area gets closer and you get the risk of being attacked again.

    The inventory can be small, at the same time that goes into the difficulty of survival and thinking before you bring everything with you. So again. Not really a negative as it's the intended design and makes you decide between medicine to heal, weapons, ammo and the key items you need. Also space to pick items up. It's all part of the survival aspect.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 2 is the new gold standard in both survival horror and recreating a classic game. Not only does it pay homage to the 1998 original, it throws story twists and turns to keep even those loyal fans who have memorized the original on their toes. Capcom did this classic justice and that's not an easy thing to do.

Pensei: bom pra mim porque não sou particularmente fã da câmera em primeira pessoa, mas fiquei um pouco chateado já que esperava a câmera clássica já que para mim o remake do 1 foi mais do que perfeito e eu esperava que um remake do 2 seguisse aquele modelo que deu muito certo. Achava que a câmera nessa posição fosse levar o jogo pro mesmo lado dos RE4 e RE5, jogos dos quais eu gosto mas n era o que esperava do remake do dois. No final das contas essa escolha se mostrou muito fantasístico ao meu ver, uma vez que o estilo do jogo não foi puxado para o lado dos títulos de ação. Na verdade, e surpreendentemente, a atmosfera dos jogos clássicos se manteve, muito por causa da ótima ambientação, com lugares escuros, mas também por eles terem mantido os inimigos base (os zumbis) difíceis (o suficiente) de matar. Alias o jeito como eles parecem que morreram mas levantam depois de um tempo foi uma excelente adição ao clima de terror e insegurança. A manutenção do conceito de indas e vindas pelo mapa atras de itens chave somadas ao clima pesado, formado pela estética visual/sonora + inimigos que não são super fáceis de matar/ contornar + controles que não são super dinâmicos, e os gráficos potentes + o novo estilo de câmera, deu o jogo na minha opinião um ar de a modernização perfeita da própria essência dos títulos clássicos, tornando esse jogo um remake quasa perfeito, o único motivo pelo qual a nota é 9/10 e não 10/10 é que o jogo remove pequenas coisas da obra clássica, e aqui eu não digo que muda, ele corta mesmo: por exemplo as campanas B dos dois personagens são muito mais similares agr do na obra clássica. A talvez mais de uma década atrás o remake do próprio RE1, mostrou que um remake poderia ser o jogo original otimamente refeito + adições, e nisso a urgência do mercado moderno não permitiu ao RE2 remake.… Expand

    So, Resident Evil 2 finally has a remake and in the literal sense of the word: just like RE1 it got many new features, new weapons, sub-weapons and the layout of the RPD station has been drastically changed so that even for those like us who can remember the game step by step will be surprised with the changes.

    The game controls à la resident evil 4 and that was a great idea: RE4 was fantastic thanks to the third person perspective and the shooting was satisfying for that reason, and the fact that you can aim while walking and also enter doors without loading, it's all a nice touch.

    Most of the enemies of the series have returned with even strong zombies now. dogs, lickers, Mr x and the good old Birkin who tries to become a one punch cosplayer. Just kidding: he's more aggressive than ever and he'll be a pain to deal with.

    I could go on with how much the game has changed but I do have a lot of issues too and after finishing the game several times, both scenarios, and an S+ on hardcore (The rocket launcher is amazing!) I have to say that while the game is definitely improved, it's also a chore to deal with.

    Let's start with the zombies: they're tougher now, which is great, however, headshots do jack now! Why? In the original, the reason why you couldn't aim was that you couldn't aim! You were stuck in place and only able to aim at a 45% degree angle! It made sense if you couldn't headshot (although the shotgun "could" headshot if close enough).
    in the remake you can freely aim anywhere on the zombie but despite that your damage will be the same, head or feet or whatever, and this is sad because the zombies are MARVELOUSLY animated and they interact flawlessly with the environment: they can crawl on tables, fall from stairs, their limbs can be torn apart and more. I mean it's a tactic to basically shoot to their knees as it stuns them! However, headshots should at least do the most damage and the only way to reliably one-shot zombies is to score a critical hit. Or use the shotty/magnum

    The weird thing, however? These are the hardest enemies in the game! Lickers? Just walk past them. Dogs? 3-4 shots and they're down. Mr. X? he's so easy to dodge and you're safe in certain areas anyway! The sewer monsters? Annoying but easy to dodge once you know the pattern. Plant zombies? Tough but you don't want to kill them only stun them. Even boss fights are a joke in comparison to zombies! And yet zombies have no weak points. It's no wonder the RPD is the hardest part of the game.

    Speaking of enemies, I HATED Mr. X: he was the biggest nuisance of the entire game and I can't believe people are actually scared by him. For starters, he looks less threatening than the original version and secondly he's so easy to avoid that the only reason he'll give you pain, is when you need to do puzzles. Yeah that's it: he's annoying when you need to get puzzles done, but besides that? It's a joke really.
    What a letdown: from a legitimately scary enemy that in the original you had the anticipation and the fear of "when" he'll come to you, in the remake he's just another "stalker" enemy that stalks you too much - he can hear your gunshots - and only serves to cause annoyance. PLEASE CAPCOM DON'T DO THIS FOR NEMESIS PLEASE, MAKE HIM ACTUALLY SCARY AND NOT THIS PITIFUL EXCUSE OF A HORROR TROPE.

    And lastly, too many swear words. No, I'm not one of those don't worry but I can't say the dialogues are brilliant.
    In the original, there weren't many swearings (or any at all?) and all dialogues were about campy and corny lines delivered to make it look like a cheesy gore movie...and it worked! These lines helped lighten the mood because they were so hilariously bad it's amazing. But in the remake? You'll see so much **** that you'll get bored and feel annoyed more than anything because they take everything too seriously and it's really hard to follow. I get it, it's a remake, but the original trilogy was a campy horror game and while I don't expect the same dialogues at least make them sound less edgy! It's silly but the whole wrong reason!
    Oh and Claire looks terrible and I mean it: she looks like a cosplayer who plays the role of Claire. Leon is fine and so everyone else, especially like the new look of Ada, Ben, Annette and Irons. Thankfully you can swap some costumes.

    Overall, I recommend this game because it's very good, it's extremely well made, it's detailed and it's basically what I hoped after RE4 came: a dark, scary game with a great setting. And thanks to the remake's changes it'll be all fresh like in '98!

    PS: shame on you capcom for forcing us to buy the soundtrack for the original game! It was only 3 bucks but come on! Nickle and diming already? At least the '98 models are free...    … Expand

    Pros: Great atmosphere, enemy design, music and the layout of the first and third part of the game are brilliant.

    Cons: The different story lines... don't fit together at all. I was expecting the A & B stories to be intertwined and complement each other. However, this isn't the case, the plot of those supposedly different stories don't align, they are more or less the same, but with different characters & weapons. Weirdly enough, certain enemies have a completely different fate depending on which story you chose - which makes no sense and feels like this aspect has either been rushed and/or not been cared about. The old games were much better in this regard, and I can't help but think that if Shinki Mikami still worked for Capcom, he would never have let such an obvious flaw come into the game.

    Resident Evil 2 actually one of the best games I've ever played. Incredible atmosphere, good survival gameplay, good art, good story. I don't like zombie too much, but I definitely love zombie from RE.

    I did love the original back in the day, and I know this remake was restrained a bit by having to stick to certain gameplay elements, but it just felt too clunky in this day and age. Noticed it the most in boss fights the most.
    Like the original tho, the game gets under your skin in a real foreboding way, so points for that.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is not as fun as RE4, and not as dreadful (in the horror way) as the first half of RE1:Remake. Nor is it particularly difficult as a survival horror game.

    The level design is circular but doesn't feel as claustrophobic, horrific, and never-ending as the mansion in RE1:Remake.

    The game design takes RE4's basics while 'modernizing' it, taking out/reducing the interplay that was present in RE4. Which makes RE2:Remake essentially a precision shooter/survival horror hybrid.

    I enjoyed it, but nothing stands out as particularly exceptional in any genre except for a few technical feats and interesting ideas. Even compared to other Resident Evil games.    … Expand

    I can't give this game a 10 because of how terrible the boss fights are (with a couple exceptions).

    Otherwise, this game is near perfection. This is the best remake ever and quite possibly goty 2019.

    The atmosphere of horror is overwhelming and proves that in 2019 there is a place for a Resident-like story in which the modern visuals heighten and not lessen the fear. It’s the best Resident Evil ever. [03/2019, p.40]

    The stunning graphics, incredible survival horror combat and wonderfully eerie setting make picking up a copy of Resident Evil 2 a no-brainer.

    Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful recreation of a believed original that, not only recaptures the glory of that game, but also improves upon it from a visual and gameplay standpoint. All in all, don’t miss out on this one.
