    The game is really good and a major step in the right direction for the franchise, the only issues is that both campaigns are pretty much the same thing and Claire's face could have been better looking. I hope they add some free DLC side stories to add more value to the game, the story and game play are both well done along with the music/sound effects and the enemies are also well done.The game is really good and a major step in the right direction for the franchise, the only issues is that both campaigns are pretty much the same thing and Claire's face could have been better looking.

    Pretty hard to screw up a Resident Evil 2 remake and for the most part they didn't but the cut content from the original is pretty unforgivable and unnecessary

    Resident Evil 2 is a complete remake of the classic, and much-loved 1998 original.

    .RE2 retains the things many fans love such as inventory management, puzzles and use of key items, and largely keeps the gloriously silly story of the original game intact. Tank controls and static backdrops are gone, in favour of a more modern third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. This makes combat more intuitive and adds to the immersion.

    Playing in the dark, with headphones or a good sound system helps create some truly tense moments, and the sound design is top notch. Often you can hear enemies before you can see them, sometimes on the floors above you, sometimes right around the corner - ready to strike!
    The audio/visual experience in RE2 is very polished and the game looks stunning, perhaps due to the use of Capcom's proprietary graphics engine, the RE Engine, which was first seen in Resident Evil 7. There were no noticeable drops in frame-rate or other graphical tech issues during my play through; the game ran solidly and smoothly at all times.

    RE2 gives you the option of two different protagonists, Leon or Claire, and depending on who you choose, certain locations and puzzles will be different, but not overtly so. Upon completing the game as one character, you can then play through the second character's campaign. The differences are not huge, but you get to see some more locations and play small sections as sub-characters, which helps flesh out the story.

    Combat is satisfying, with a variety of weapons to brutally dismember zombies and destroy the monsters lurking in the shadows, however it sometimes feels clunky and stilted. I found myself wishing for a button command which allowed me to dodge enemy attacks. Capcom have flirted with the idea of a dodge mechanism in the RE:Revelations spin off titles, to various degrees of success, and it would have made sense to include one in RE2, just to help the combat feel more free-flowing.

    RE2 is not a massive game and each campaign takes between 6-8 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore and which optional puzzles you choose to complete. Capcom have created an experience which is quality over quantity - it's a tight, slick, and well put together game, just don't expect it to be an 80 hour, open world time-sink; it is simply not that type of game, nor does it try to be.

    Overall, RE2 is an utterly fantastic and fun experience, despite some minor concerns. I don't regret paying full retail for it, and I think most Resident Evil fans will eat this up, like a zombie hound chewing on a rotting corpse!    … Expand

I also did not care for the DLCs that CAPCOM delivered even if they were for free, they were just mindless run & shoot games (and the game is not designed for that type of play, so they feel clumsy), I played them once, was not impressed and have not played them again.

The structure of the game really gives you the feeling that you are in control of your discoveries. Everything has been carefully mapped out to discover what it takes to make progress. In addition, it is nice that jumpscares are not used obsessively because it is not necessary to make the gamer feel scared. A weak point of the game's design is the two-part story. Where you expect that you can discover a completely new area with the second main character, this turns out not to be the case. You'll have to go through the same area (you've already completed with your first character) with minor tweaks here and there. At the start of your second character's story, your first play through seems to be totally forgotten. Yet, both story are needed to understand the full picture.

    Nevertheless, this is a game that will leave you on the edge of your seat while you lose track of time!

    Pros:
    - Atmosphere - Zombies
    - Story
    - Puzzles of the environment - Dualsense features

    Cons:

Ich konnte es leider nie lange spielen, weil es einfach zu unheimlich war. Ich bin mir nicht mehr ganz sicher, aber die erste Ingame Cutszene in der ein Glatzköpfiger Zombi an einer Leiche nagt ist mir immer noch schwer im Magen. Das war 1996 und ich war 16. Heute bin ich 43 und spiele das Remake vom Resident Evil 2. RE2 Classic erschien eigentlich 1998 und spielt nicht im Evil Resident sondern im Evil Racoon City. Die Seuche ist ausgebrochen und die Stadt geht vor die Hunde. Als Leon oder Claire kämpft und rätselt man sich durch 4-5 Gebiete die fast alle in guter alter MetroidVania Tradition miteinander verbunden sind. Backtracking ist also für Progress erforderlich. Das erste was man feststellt ist, dass technisch wirklich viel Arbeit und Geld das Spiel gesteckt wurde. Mein Gott sieht das gut aus. Tolle Licht und vor allem zur Stimmung beitragende Schatteneffekte. Feuchte Oberflächen glitzern wunderschön und Schleim und Blut (was bei diesem Spiel durchaus wichtig ist) sieht wunderbar ekelhaft aus. Generell sind die Goreeffekte sehr gut. Animation von Zombies und anderem NPCs sind gelungen. Die Optik ist also ausnahmslos wirklich toll umgesetzt. Was aber im Soundbereich geleistet wurde ist wirklich fantastisch. Es ist so bedrückend wenn man das Schlurfen und stöhnen eine Zombies hört, ihn aber nicht sieht. Alle Gegnersounds sind irgendwie auf diese Art und Weise verstöhrend bis unheimlich.Man ist ständig von Angst geprägt und nervös. Das absichtlich sehr träge Zielsystem und der weniger agile Character tragen noch dazu bei. Ständig lugt man vorsichtig um Ecken und prüft ob Leichen am Boden nicht evtl. doch wieder aufstehen könnten. Angst und vor allem Panik machen sich vor allem dann breit, wenn der Munitionsvorrat zur neige geht. Und das wird immer wieder unweigerlich passieren, denn Munition selten. Die Story kennt man und ich will nicht näher drauf eingehen. Es sei erwähnt, dass es eben RE ist und man da keine Wunder erwarten sollte. Weder in der Art wie erzählt wird, noch in der Ausarbeitung der Protagonisten. Allenfalls 90er Jahre Acitonniveau darf erwartet werden. Dennoch hat es mich unterhalten und ich wollte bis zum Schluss wissen was als nächstes passiert. Deswegen habe ich mich überzeugen lassen, dass Spiel nochmal durchzuspielen, Vor allem auch, weil ein zweiter Durchgang tatsächlich in abgewandelter Form vom Spiel angeboten wird. Soll heißen die Story und RE typischen Rätsel sind leicht abgewandelt. Man kommt in Gebiete die im ersten Durchgang nicht erreichbar waren. Das ist zumindest nett. RE2 Remake hat mir wirklich großen Spaß gemacht. Ich kann es wirklich empfehlen. Ein seht gutes Remake.… Expand

    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

    RE 2 is one of my favorite games and this remake does the original justice. If you're new to the RE universe and want to get into it this is a great place to start. My only gripe is that Mr X can be more of an annoyance than a scary threat and you find yourself going the long way around just to avoid him because it brings the game to a grinding stop

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While this game is really fun and polished, sadly it fails to live up to the original. The scenarios are barely different, all of the campaigns feature both birkin and mr x and a few enemies and locations are removed, but if I were to review it without compairing it to the 1998 classic, I'd say it deserves the rating I have given it. The gunplay feels great, the voice acting, while somewhat stale, is still better than most games that have come out in the past 5 years, there is a lot of replay value, it's fun to try and speedrun, and the graphics are absolutely breathtaking. Definetely a must for anyone owning a ps4 or ps5.… Expand

    Listen Square Enix, this is how you do a remake.

    The atmosphere and plot were mostly kept faithful to. The original soundtrack is available (and still better, frankly.) But the gameplay and graphics are a huge step up. The combat is improved, and Mr X as a roaming enemy is a fantastic idea. Its basically every thing a remake should be.

    Disappointing that Capcom have cut the B scenarios, there is a 2nd run that you can play with some remixed puzzles and item placement however the story is the same as your previous 1st run. Where this really causes issues is that the Leon and Claire scenarios don't compliment each other. Also the loss of the marshalling yard loses a link to RE0

A few satisfying ah-ha! moments have you unlocking a vital shortcut back to earlier areas, powering up weapons, and of course, blasting a few dozen zombies along the way is great; but the lovingly implemented improvements don't best the tedium still at this game's core.

    - Mr.X section lasted way too long. It made it very frustrating to figure out where I should be going next because I had no time to think. Basically, forcing myself to die over and over again or go online to check out a walkthrough. I shouldnt have to do this. It ruined the game.

    -Zombies. Too many Zombies. Shooting them 10 times and they're still charging at me. Backtracking to same old space with no ammo and immortal zombies basically.

    Summary
    -------------
    The graphics, music and acting were top notch. Unfortunately, the game's difficulty was changed to become more frustrating. It wasn't a positive for me since it made me stop playing. I don't enjoy going online reading walkthroughs to find a solution because zombies take 30 bullets to kill and they can get back up. The puzzles were fantastic but what's the point when Mr.X is running after you for 33% of the game. Had they limited the time he was chasing you , it could've been excellent game.    … Expand

    The graphics and gameplay are mostly stunning and excellent. This is top-tier quality.

    The downsides are where it gets interesting. Some of them have been carried over due to the age of the original game. For example, there is much backtracking to open doors once you've obtained the relevant keys etc. In modern-day gaming this comes across as rather repetitive and lazy, cheaply increasing the length of the game.

    Secondly, there is an invincible enemy or two who randomly appears and stalks you throughout a large part of the game. At first this is quite startling and unnerving in the fun sense, however it quickly becomes grating, as he can also cause you to backtrack a lot to escape or waste precious ammo in stalling him until you can escape. This is also surprising as Resident Evil 7 had the same issue and I'm surprised they didn't learn from that.

    Finally, the zombies themselves, or specifically their impressive and frustrating ability to absorb bullets like raindrops. It makes some sense to discourage us from fighting every single zombie, however it also becomes tedious and frustrating that I have to expend 6 or 7 bullets to ensure a zombie is permanently neutralised. This is not practical and is not enjoyable.

    While I was playing this an observer noted that "it needs more action" and I think they were right. There is too much banal content that was accepted 20 years ago due to the limitations of technology. Perhaps Capcom did not want to stray too far from the source material, but I'm a firm believer in rose-tinted glasses needing to be removed. I could have enjoyed this game so much more and I am glad it was a gift because it really is not worth the launch price. Wait until it is £20 or less.    … Expand

I don't want to seem pretentious so I'm just gonna lay all my cards out on the table and say I don't think it was a great idea trying to do both. Shooting enemies in the game is unsatisfying. Every enemy is very bullet spongy, because the designers clearly wanted the player to not be able to kill every enemy they come across. So very obviously they wanted players to get used to playing something like REmake 1 where you planned you route, learn to juke zombies, and speedrun as fast as you can to the finish by learning the layout. This should have been fixed camera like the classics in my opinion because the third person camera lends itself to action but the gameplay doesn't. The good thing about the action oriented RE games is that the combat in those games are fun on their own and you could play those games just for that and it would be a satisfying experience. Combat in RE2make is very not fun. You're supposed to avoid combat at all costs if you can. The meta of the game is just avoid all enemies and sprint to the finish which makes the replay value of the game very diminished after you learn how to do this. I completed the game twice on Standard, then twice on Professional, then did the 4th survivor plus Tofu Survivor before I wrote this review.… Expand

    Parto de la base de que estoy en contra de los remakes, pero al menos en este caso, no es el remake de un juego de 2010, al menos hablamos de un juego medianamente antiguo, en el cual han tenido que rehacer el juego por completo.

    Creo que capcom ha hecho un juego muy a la altura de todas las generaciones nuevas que no lo hubiesen jugado en su momento, han sabido introducir una ambientación correcta de lo que se espera en un juego de terror, y no solo con unos pocos jumpscares, el conjunto de sonidos, música, iluminación y demás elementos nos permiten disfrutar de una sensación de terror a menudo.

    En lo que a personajes se refiere, creo que aquí han cometido uno de los mayores errores, ya que han cambiado muchas cosas originales para, supongo que hacer una construcción de personajes mas simple para gente joven.
    La relación entre los 2 protagonistas, es casi nula, no se justifica prácticamente que finalmente se vayan juntos, en la historia original coincidían en sucesivas ocasiones, incluso teniendo una radio para estar en contacto, esto ayuda al jugador a empatizar con los personajes y además justifica el hecho de que haya 2 personajes "cooperando" en un escenario para buscar la solución y escapar.
    La doctora Annete es uno de los cambios que menos me han gustado, ya que en la obra original odiaba a Leon por hacer daño a su marido, esta claro que era una persona enferma obsesionada y loca ya que viendo en lo que se ha convertido William lo lógico sería lo que ocurre en el remake, que ella quiera respuestas y detener a su marido, pero me gustaba la versión original de un personaje mentalmente dañado y orgullosa de su creación, que en este remake simplemente es una mala madre pero responsable socialmente.
    La aparición de personajes de la obra original con historias modificadas(Marvin el poli, el jefe irons, Ben el de la celda) es una idea atractiva, pero nada desarrollada. Ben tiene una novia que justamente es el "Trofeo" del jefe irnos, pero no nos dice nada mas, cosa que no hubiese costado ni 30 minutos de juego. El policía Marvin sustituye una genial cinemática como la que nos ofrecían en 1998 en su conversión a zombie, por su cooperación continua, conversación en la trama y que le cojamos cariño, pero luego se muere y ya, ahí esta, hecho un zombie le matamos y punto. Y sobre el jefe Irons, no costaba nada haber desarrollado un poquito el tema del orfanato, y hablando sobre el orfanato...

    Es la mejor decisión del juego, me encanta que añadan cosas así en juegos que vuelven a hacer, un escenario nuevo con historia adicional, pero no lo desarrollan nada!apenas hay un par de hojas con notas, pero solo sirve para que manejemos a sherry durante 5 minutos, podríamos haber tenido que realizar alguna puzzle de todos los que han quitado del juego original o algo...

    El juego es muy fluido, hay algunos fallos de texturas por exceso de brillo a veces, pero sinceramente no pongo ni una pega en este punto, y los enemigos están super bien hechos, me encanta como puedes dispararles a una pierna y que se caigan y cosas así, aunque es cierto, que han eliminado muchos enemigos para tardar menos en hacerlo, y se hecha en falta algunos enemigos como las arañas.
    La munición diría que es acorde a la dificultad que elijas, ya que en dificultad normal, es cierto que te puede sobrar bastante, pero es que es eso lo que has elegido, que sea NORMAL, si quieres un autentico reto, la dificultad hardcore es un reto decente para estas generaciones.

    El juego creo que se merecería una nota mucho mas amplia de haber mantenido lo que era el punto mas fuerte del juego de 1998, que eran las campañas simultáneas con una coherencia. En este juego simplemente lo que han hecho es una serie de historias diferentes que comparten el 80% de los hechos ocurridos, ES UN TERRIBLE ERROR. No lo hace mal juego, pero si lo hace mal remake. Me explico, una persona que no haya jugado al juego original veo normal que diga que este juego le parece un 8,5 puesto que me parece muy buen juego, pero creo que dandole un 7 he sido muy benévolo ya que es casi un insulto que algo que era MAGNIFICO como esas 2 campañas en las que cuando uno hacia algo, el otro no tenia que hacerlo, o que coger un arma significaba que el otro no iba a poder hacerlo, era genial para la época y a día de hoy, una idea genial para crear coherencia y continuidad en una historia de 2 personajes que recorren un mismo escenario a la vez.

    por útimo, han censurado muchas cosas, me gustaría que fuese mas explícito, que si te revientan la cabeza sea vea, pero bueno, entiendo que al igual que como han hecho con Anette, quieren que todo sea mas "Family Friendly".

    En resumen, una recomendación segura a cualquiera que lo quiera jugar, y de gustarte, que juegues a la obra original para disfrutarla tambien.    … Expand

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!

    Resident Evil 2 war damals ne Bombe. **** hatte man Schiss, wenn man ein neues Gebiet betrat und nicht sehen konnte, was um die Ecke geschah. Durch die vorgerenderten Hintergründe und die vertonten Dialoge war Resident Evil wie ein Gruselfilm zu selber spielen und - sterben.

Durch die vorgerenderten Hintergründe und die vertonten Dialoge war Resident Evil wie ein Gruselfilm zu selber spielen und - sterben. Überraschend ist, wie viel Capcom vom ursprünglichen Charme, Grusel und Spielgefühl in ein modernes Spielgewand hat übertragen können. Chapeau für diese Leistung.

    Was allerdings auch mit ins Hier uns Jetzt übertragen wurde, sind die doch sehr altbackene Spielmechaniken und schrecklich schlecht gespielten B Movie Cut-Scenes. Resident Evil 2 ist auch heute sicher noch ein gutes Spiel. Aber nur dann, wenn man die entsprechende Nostalgie für alte B Movie Horrer Schinken mitbringt. Resident Evil 2 ist heute sicherlich alles andere als kreativ und frisch. Wer frischen, inspirierten B-Movie Horror sucht, sollte sich eher einmal ein The Evil Within 2 anschauen. Wer eher auf anspruchsvolle Kost steht, der kommt an Hellblade Senua's Sacrafice nicht vorbei. Als VR Erlebnis ist auch ein Resi 7 sicher nochmals anders zu bewerten, als die neuerlichen Remakes der alten Formel aus PSOne Zeiten. Persönlich kann ich den ganzen neuerlich Hype um die Resi Remake Spiele nicht ganz nachvollziehen, wie auch den etwas überzogenen Wertungspiegel. Als Fan Service allerdings hat Capcom wirklich alles richtig gemacht.    … Expand

    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.

    A really well done remake. However, the game has very stressful points that made me lose my pleasure in playing. The first point is that the characters are very dumb. They no longer run when there is a giant guy after them, on the contrary, they "run" as if they were walking down the avenue. Not to mention that they are so weak that they can't even keep a zombie away when it grabs them.A really well done remake.

Not to mention that they are so weak that they can't even keep a zombie away when it grabs them. The protagonists have a very precarious intelligence. Another very annoying point is that zombies are almost immortal. To a creature with rotten and weak flesh, they appear to be too strong. A shot or two at most should be enough to kill a zombie. When the brain is hit, body activity is over, nothing else works. The game also has very exaggerated enemies, some seem too forced. A guy with an arm the size of a building with an eye in the middle, a crododile the size of a bus, zombies that have become trees ...… Expand

    What was fun in 1998 at least from my perspective definitely doesn't mean it is fun in 2019, and even new graphics with different camera won't make it fun, if the gameplay is the same chore of constantly revisiting areas with new items that enable you to progress to a new area that was previously locked, which gets even worse after the first half of the game, because then, as if it wasn'tWhat was fun in 1998 at least from my perspective definitely doesn't mean it is fun in 2019, and even new graphics with different camera won't make it fun, if the gameplay is the same chore of constantly revisiting areas with new items that enable you to progress to a new area that was previously locked, which gets even worse after the first half of the game, because then, as if it wasn't enough already, you are suddenly forced to take detours, and spend more time on the way to an area that you visited 5 times already.

    There are some highly impressive things about this remake, like the use of volumetric lighting, the binaural sounds that should be a new standard in games, or even such small details as that amazing intro animation of a trucker eating a burger.

    However, when you get over the first two hours, and learn the level design, and the effective way of gameplay, instead of having some feeling of satisfaction from accomplishment in that genre defining constantly increasing survival horror pressure, everything becomes repetitive, boring, and slowly falling into a routine that won't change until the end of the game.    … Expand

    Game is extremely boring. Weak story, few dialogs, bad combat design, repetitiveness and a lot of back tracking.
    Objectively average game has too many flaws, that’s why high scores are given only by blind fans, not by people who have never played original game.

    P.S. RE3 remake did way better work than this.

    The nostalgia has gotta stop.
    If your looking for just what the title says - your going to be very happy with this game.
    But I was expecting something that was touched upon beyond the graphics. This game is infuriating and annoying beyond what is fun. I like a good challenge to, but this just is not fun. Its not fun being constantly hunted by the Tyrant while trying to figure out where    The nostalgia has gotta stop.

    This game is infuriating and annoying beyond what is fun. I like a good challenge to, but this just is not fun. Its not fun being constantly hunted by the Tyrant while trying to figure out where to go. Having to play through the same area almost always twice to know exactly how to do it is not fun.
    This game has some brilliant moments pushing me forward, but it is overly infuriating in my opinion.
    The back tracking also hurts the game, you back track a lot in this one.
    This would have been a solid 8 if the game was not so harsh, constantly forcing me to conserve every bullet and if I miss two shots I have to re-do large parts again, if there was not so much back tracking and if the story was more interesting. All the 10 scores out here are probably just people being nostalgic or we got a lot of fanboys out there unwilling to see the glaring issues this game has    … Expand

    WTF like ten shots to the head and several knife attacks and the damn zombie still bit Leon on the leg on the floor. Calling BS to that level of RNG damage system. Going to pass get this on a sale in a year or two.

Going to pass get this on a sale in a year or two.

    Ok finally received the full version December 2019. I think I actually prefer the fast paced over the top mindless action nonsense that was Resident Evil 6. Nostalgia trickery just does not cut it. So this remake really needed to up its game, but comes across as a less crappy looking version of the crappy Revelations series.

    Worst portrayal of Leon and Ada to date due to mediocre voice actors. Slow paced and boring padding due to inventory management back tracking to storage chests. Combat not even a patch on Dead Space or The Evil Within. Boss set pieces seen it all done before and better. Story not even original just a remake.

    The movement seriously this dated and this limited? Even original RE 1 to 5 had a 180 turn movement. Turning in this game is SO slow. Running in this game is SO slow. You know like if these people were obese geriatric asthmatics, but these are like very young fit looking people. Hell even crappy Revelation series had a immersive Alan Wake type dodge mechanic. Limited movement + bullet sponge = lazy contrived difficulty.

    What was with the jank door opening and the general awful camera issues when fighting Lickers. The environments looked visually unimpressive for the most part. Technically other than those few issues the game ran really well. With only one crash on the Claire story line.

    That tank stalker type character just isn't scary or intimidating. I found it more annoying than anything else. Again that type of character has been done better in other games.

    Well at least RE2 remake is better than Umbrella Corps and Revelations series, oh deary me. Mildly entertaining in places with my brain on auto pilot and zoned out for the most part.    … Expand

I suggest this game to horror enthusiasts and old fashion gaming lovers. Resident Evil 7 is much better in my opinion more scary,more action and more fair.

    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]

    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.
