    32 a 128 bits reflejados en este increíble juego. Tiene una ambientación impecable, Mr X es lo mejor del titulo. Zombies como tienen que ser, puzles buenísimos. Una jugabilidad entre el 4 y el 2 es medio raro decirlo asi pero digamos que tiene lo mejor de los dos mundos. La parte de la niña de lo mejor de terror que visto en mucho tiempo.

    En los malo podría decir que para mi le falta la banda sonora original que ya este deposi impuesta en el juego, que es maravillosa. Algunas zonas como la alcantarilla para mi no esta al nivel. La parte 2 ya se de Leon o Claire es demasiado similar una entre otra. El juego aunque se muy bueno se te hace bastante corto y al menos para mi da un poco de pereza un jugar otra vez haber que paso en esa escena post créditos de la primera parte del juego. Capaz si hubiera sido diferente merecería por supuesto mas nota, no le quita que esa un maravillo juego que si eres fan de Resident Evil como a los juegos de terror es una compra obligatoria 8.5/10.    … Expand

    Un remake casi perfecto.
    Mejora en absolutamente todo al original, técnica y jugablemente impecable, todo tiene más sentido. Si rascamos un poco diremos que la coherencia de continuidad entre las 2 campañas no existe, pues el original lo desarrollaba mejor, pero, hace que el concepto de este sea parecido al de las 2 campañas del primero, es decir, no se entrelazan entre ellas.

It took me way too long to get to this game but I finally was able to beat it. Having not played the original Resident Evil 2 but being a big fan of the franchise, I went into this game with high expectations and no idea of what was going to happen. This game pulled me in from the get go with the classic Resident Evil corny yet charming dialogue, gruesome and scary set pieces, great and fluid gameplay, and a truthfully terrifying atmosphere. I love the incorporation of Mr. X in this game as he stalks you and lurks around various corners. It's a gameplay element that always keeps you on your toes and makes you think before going certain places or using one of the very sparse resources in the game. Unfortunately, it seems that since this game was a critical and financial success, Capcom will most likely milk these remakes as much as they can(as seen with the lackluster but still passable Resident Evil 3 remake). But this game is a must play if you are a horror fan or not. It's a truthfully groundbreaking remake that will live in infamy for years to come.… Expand

    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.… Expand

    Resident evil as I always wanted it. There are a lot of puzzles, the doors opening and closing without loading is really the turning point, although it was an implementation that was already present in 4. I enjoyed playing with it.It remains one of my favorite video games, I expected to see the same quality in 3 too, unfortunately it wasn't like that. Why not turn RE 7 into this kind of game?

Managing your inventory is still key but the addition of being able to upgrade the no. of slots by finding pouches and being able to discard iraticates any frustrations I had with the original. The gameplay is smooth and tight saying goodbye to tank controls and hello to 8th gen controls. While using your arsenal of weapons never felt better the enemy is still a threat, with even the basic zombie being able to take multiple headshots before going down and the tougher enemies are real resource drainers. The resource management conundrum of whether it's worth it killing a enemy or deciding to try to run around them. and terror the creatures envoke is exactly what I want out of the genre. The puzzles return and are just as well balanced as before challenging but not frustrating. The addition of Mr X however is what makes the game special. The unkillable brute follows you around everywhere and the sounds of his footsteps instantly put you on edge. The two playable characters of Chris and Claire are really well acted and a joy to play with through this well told story. There arsenal changes, story changes and unique area make both playthroughs a must with Claire's being my preference. The only downside is the lackluster boss fights that bring the game down a little. Overall a must play game for anyone remotely interested in giving it a shot… Expand

    I have RE2 remake a perfect 10 because I don’t know how it could be improved. Gone are the cumbersome tank controls. With more than a new coat of paint, RE2 was remade from the ground-up but retains everything that made the original great. They managed to capture genuine terror as you progress through the game. True “survival horror” makes a triumphant return in this one.

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.    … Expand

If you want to play for the story and just run through the game, the Assisted or Normal modes allow for that while the Hardcore mode brings an extra challenge without being insanely difficult.

    The only complaint I have is just how hard the "No Way Out" scenario is in the Ghost Survivor's DLC. It is the only trophy I haven't been able to get but thankfully it's separated from the main game trophies so if you're a trophy hunter you don't have to worry about that.

    An absolute masterpiece. Technically perfect: superb gameplay and perfect graphics.
    Intense, thrilling and fun story although with some puzzlingly stupid details (some character dress, some lines of the plot...).
    Must play (and re-play, and re-play....)

    Resident evil 2 remake would’ve been a 10/10 if the scenarios made since, but it’s still a great game and should’ve won game of the year in 2019.

    I don't see what all the hype is about. It's a well-executed Resident Evil game. There's nothing particularly special or original about it. Compared to RE7 which was a true masterpiece 9/10 and truly revolutionary, RE2 remake is like the title, just a standard remake. It really doesn't go beyond that.

    Quando estavam desenvolvendo esse jogo achei que a escolha da câmera em terceira pessoa em cima dos ombros era meio estranha por não ser nem a câmera do jogo original e nem a câmera que a CAPCOM estava introduzindo em seus títulos mais recentes, a câmera em primeira pessoa, e no fim eles escolheram um estilo de câmera que estavam abandonando... estranho mas... .

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

    It's a good game but it didn't blow me away, the gameplay is solid but I would have liked it to be more fleshed out, especially the movement. I didn't find this game very scary, the Tyrant was the scariest part but he was more annoying than scary imo. I thought the story on Leons side was pretty mediocre, I didn't like Leons VA, and a lot of the writing on his side was cheesy or cliche.It's a good game but it didn't blow me away, the gameplay is solid but I would have liked it to be more fleshed out, especially the movement.

    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.

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While this game is fun and at multiple point I found myself playing for House because I was enjoying it so much, I ran into some annoying parts that messed up the flow of the game. For me, when Tyrant shows up, the game takes a small dip in the fun factor. I go from a lot of enjoyment to annoyance with this huge gray guy that I can’t kill and teleports all around the station and restricts my ability to explore the station - which was my favorite part. You should in no way play this game for the story by the way, cuz it’s real bad. The most fun parts are the moments where the fear sits in when you’re exploring the zombie ridden police station. There were so many parts I was just blown away by how much I actually wanted to explore everything! When I look past the annoying Tyrant and some of the enemies, this is a pretty good game on it’s own right.… Expand

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.    … Expand
