    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Completé su versión clásica más de 80 veces en PC durante mi adolescencia. Han logrado una buena adaptación, expandiendo satisfactoriamente los escenarios para darle esa continuidad fluida, ahora que no hay tiempos de carga entre puertas.

    Aunque se echa en falta algo de puzzles y, en menor medida, algunos enemigos clásicos, las criaturas G, o los lickers son muy duros de pelar, por lo que no eclipsa el entretenimiento. Su modo hardcore está deliciosamente bien llevado. Los extras (gratuitos, una joya a día de hoy), dan un margen de desafío bueno, y ver a 5 "tofus" ha sido una pasada. El DLC de la banda sonora es muy barato, y mejoró otro aspecto que me pareció flojo (aunque aquí me pega la nostalgia en el corazoncito). Lo recomiendo mucho más que la re-imaginación que hicieron de la tercera entrega.

    El principal punto negativo que he de exponer, es que el clásico "zapping system" ahora está ausente, lo que afecta a la continuidad. Pero por entretenimiento y desafío está muy a la altura. Como fan de la saga le daría un 9, dentro de su género (juego de ciclo corto de 3 h cuando ya te lo has pasado, en las siguientes rondas), aunque no alcanza ni en broma a pesos pesados como God Of War, RDR2, Bloodborne, Sekiro, The Witcher 3... ojo, que sigue siendo muy disfrutable.

    An excellent reimagining of Resident Evil 2. If there is one game you should play for PS4, it's this one. Like Zelda, but with guns & zombies. I wouldn't quite classify it as a straight up remake though, but it's very close.

    Lack of zapping system in remake which cause missing the B scenario in the original edition. The map of the lab can be better. However these flaws won't affect that I will give this game a 10 out of 10.

Only down was that it felt too short. Wish I had more new areas we didn't have in the original. Like expand the city a bit more. But I'm happy we got this treat of a game. Expand

    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good: Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan. Story is simple and thank god
    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good:
    Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan.

    Story is simple and thank god for that, no great morels beside helping people and zombies/umbrella = bad. This is Resident Evil, story comes second or not at all.

    Characters like the story are simple but receive just enough developmental to feel more then one dimensional Resident Evil characters. Its also fun seeing baby face Leon and Clair who are just great as the protagonists.

    No Ludonarrative Dissonance here, I find it very distracting when the story and game play tones thematically don't match. RE2 pulls this off with the threat feeling real in both cut scenes and in game. Its a small thing but your character model becomes more damaged as the game goes on, really helps to connect the cut scenes and game play.

    Mr X is awesome

    Very repayable, first time you a just making it through by the skim of your teeth, 2nd you are much more confident and can get through with a lot more ease and 3rd, 4th and 5th times you are going for speed runs for unlocks but you never disrespect the common zombie because they are always a threat.

    The different scenarios are fun and have enough different item locations to feel fresh

    The Bad:
    I do find it odd that Leon and Clair's scenarios don't cross over at all, this was a feature of the original but is completely absent here. A missed opportunity.

    One exception to the Ludonarrative Dissonance rule is that the main characters can take a few bites in game but in cut scenes one bite a death sentence, oops.

    Conclusion:
    Resident Evil fans have had to put up with some BS in the past but with RE2 remake and the great RE7 a few years back RE is back and Capcom is on a winning streak. I personally cannot wait for RE8, might just be the only reason I buy a PS5......

    10/10 Fantastic game, new standard for Resident Evil, game remakes and maybe survival horror as a whole

    I would be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable survival horror game in recent memory than the Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I personally don't have any sort of nostalgic attachment for the original game, but I do have a tremendous amount of respect for it. Considering how great RE7 turned out, I was more than eager to want to give this game a shot, and man oh man this game just blew it out of the water. At this point in time, RE2R is now my favorite game in the series.

    The story follows much of the same beats as the original RE2, but with a retooled script and additions thrown in to help add to the experience, all the while retaining the personalities and quirks of the characters. Leon is still a loveable dork, Claire is still caring and badass, and Ada is still a mysterious fem fatal. All these characters are voiced incredibly well and are some of the best performances in the series so far. While the situations themselves are still incredibly serious, there's still a level of classic RE camp to help alleviate some of the more dramatic moments, while not feeling to out of place. There are even some genuine emotional moments that personally got to me like with Kendo the gun shop owner. However, I do feel that they could have done a bit more to flesh out Leon and Claire's friendship as they very rarely have any interactions with each other, and very quickly they start to act buddy-buddy with one another. If you are a fan of the original than you may be disappointed to know that the scenario system from the original doesn't work the way it used to. You can still choose Claire A/Leon B and vice versa, but the changes to the layout and item placement from the original is no longer present.

    Honestly, though, that's really it as far as the negatives I have with the game, because everything else about it is just so damn good. If you've played Resident Evil Revelations 2, you'll be familiar with how this game controls. Movement feels just right, the gunplay is tricky, but satisfying to pull off. Ammo is limited early on and the zombies do not go down easy, making them a real threat in this game. The game carries over the traditional item management of the classics, having you choose between important key items, additional ammo or healing items. Knowing the layout of your surroundings is important for you to fully manage your inventory and knowing which paths to take and which zombies to kill or run past. It's survival horror gameplay at its finest. That's not even getting into the horror that is Mr. X. This lumbering brick wall will stalk you everywhere you go. Unless you are in a safe room or are extremely quiet, he will find you and lay the smackdown. It's one of the most intense gameplay elements I have experienced in some time. All of this is backed up by pitch perfect sound design. Everything from the moans of the zombies, to the pounding footsteps of Mr. X, and the well-placed musical cues. The soundtrack for this game overall is great, but a really cool thing that you can do is add the original RE2 98 soundtrack to this game and it fits just as perfectly (though its a shame it's locked behind a paywall).

    If you are even remotely interested in horror games, you need to play this game point blank period. It's not simply one of the best games series has to offer, it's one of the best in its class.

    I honestly enjoyed this game very much. It felt great, it felt nice. I loved playing as Claire and I loved playing as Leon. Although I really did not like the A and B scenarios. Capcom could have done them better instead of making them basically a copy and paste of each other. Mr X annoyed me a lot but that was his intention. Overall I loved Leon and Claire.

    As a long time fan of the series, seeing this game getting a remake treatment has put a smile on my face. I had bought the deluxe edition at launch date, and didn't disappoint. I was hoping the scenario routes for both Leon & Claire was different like the original Resi 2, but beggers can't be choosers. Some of the new puzzles are OK, as for the Ghost Survivor DLC, is pretty cool to have.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really enjoyable game, the graphics are great, the cinematography (if you can call it that) is just jaw dropping. With this game it's the simple things that make it work, an interface that doesn't get in the way, voices and acting that believable, the easing between cutscene and gameplay. It's all refined and well executed.

    They seem to really get what makes a horror game, the storyline, the iconic imagery and genuinely scary moments.

    One niggle to the game is that you have the ability to play the game along the same timeline with two main characters but in many cases, you do the same objectives - it would be nice to have been totally separate.

    Resident Evil has always been a hallmark of my childhood nostalgia.

I remember spending entire nights watching my older brother play through the titles while my father helped solve puzzles and point him in the right direction. Fast forward almost 18 years later, It'd finally be my chance to play a resident evil title on my own. I think the most impressive feat that this game accomplished was it's ability to really go all in on that horror atmosphere that has been missing from the last few titles. In the previous installments (mostly Resident evil 5 and 6) the non-stop action made it a little bit difficult to really embrace its history as a top dog in the survival horror genre. I think Resident Evil 2 Remake is a perfect entry in the series because it really cements this series as one of the greatest of all time. Despite the game being third person and lacking the "tank controls" of the original, I think Capcom did an excellent job portraying Leon's first day on the job through the intentionally clunky controls and the zombies themselves being bullet sponges just like the classic titles. The return of certain enemies allows for some truly dynamic gameplay sequences that make for some really memorable moments. The new and improved layout of the police station along with all of the updated puzzles and level designs does the original plenty of justice. All in all, I think that Resident Evil 2 Remake deserves all of the praise it's gotten and then some for putting Capcom back on the map and restoring the Resident Evil franchise to its former glory.

Además, al ser un juego que llegó casi al final de la generación, aprovecha al máximo la potencia de estas consolas. También hay que destacar sus 2 campañas (Leon y Claire), que aunque no tienen una coherencia narrativa perfecta, aportan cada una sus diferencias suficientes como para hacer que el título sea muy rejugable. Recomiendo mucho jugarlo en la dificultad más alta (hardcore) para disfrutar realmente el juego. Duración aproximada: 20 horas con las 2 campañas. Expand

    A perfect remake and also a rethinking of the legendary re 2 from 1998, this game brings back that same feeling of fear and tension from resident evil, the perfect atmosphere for horror, good visuals and graphics, well optimized game, 4 different companies and medium difficulty, this is an example of what capcom still can!

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

If time was a factor or laziness simply not wanting to animate cutscenes it would have been so easy to just have the characters communicate over the radio. Overall, a must play on any platform.

    As a new player into the series of Resident Evil, I felt that I've been missing out the classic horror series after playing the fantastic remake. This by itself is an incredible survival horror game and it had allured me into the lore of Umbrella Corps. and the characters within it.

    The game focused heavily on puzzles scattered throughout the infested city which, in turn, involved quite a bit of back-tracking. The satisfaction comes from putting all of the pieces together as you explore the map and facing dangers that will always put you on the edge of your seat.

    Resident Evil 2 excelled over other survival horror games by emphasizing on the never-ending threat(s) that challenge you to manage your equipment and supplies efficiently. Going through certain areas in the game made me question whether it was worth spending my HP or ammo and to me, this is why Resident Evil 2 deserve a 9; aside from the incredible graphics, atmosphere, and story, it makes you actually think about your decisions and the trade-offs that comes with it.

    The reason that stops RE2 from getting a 10 is the somewhat poor dialogue that may or may not be too noticeable through protagonists regardless of the great voice performances. In addition to the cliche-esque dialogues, the game also consists of silly plot-holes that can be easily neglected and enjoyed.

    If RE2 was already one of my favorites, this adaptation enhances it in the best way, a good mix between RE2 + RE4 + RE7.

    PS. I think my only complaint would be that I don't consider this title as a remake, if not a reinterpretation, due to the big camera change, don't get me wrong, I love this perspective from the shoulder, but I think that for it to be a remake, a classic camera was necessary. Still it's one of my favorite RE (better than RE 7, btw).
