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 newcomer to this series, i started with resident evil 2. All i can say is its a very amazing game, the visuals,gameplay, characters,etc. are all very good, it has a great story. It has great dlc's as well, completed all of them. This was almost close to a masterpiece, if not for the bad enemy/boss variety and few sequences were boring. So its a 9.5/10 for me. Highly recommened.

    Resident Evil 2 remake has become a prime example of how to reimagine a game. I love the game's simple but charming story, horrific and unique enemies, and incredibly well designed locations to investigate.

    Even though I found Resident Evil Village to be a heavily flawed game, I was actually quite interested in playing more Resident Evil games. Unfortunately, Resident Evil 7: biohazard's strong emphasis on horror didn't interest me at all, so I decided to play Resident Evil 2.

    Even though I found Resident Evil Village to be a heavily flawed game, I was actually quite interested in playing more Resident Evil games. Unfortunately, Resident Evil 7: biohazard's strong emphasis on horror didn't interest me at all, so I decided to play Resident Evil 2.
    Anyway, so, I wasn't expecting a good story from Resident Evil 2 and I didn't really get a good story; it's not bad, in fact, it managed to surprise me at times but it's just not necessarily good either. It's definitely not an important part of the game though, so it didn't affect my thoughts on the game overall.
    The characters are decent; Claire is great, Leon is cool, Ada is fine and the side-characters are okay, even if most of them are not memorable.
    The gameplay is amazing though! There's a wide variety of weapons & items, the shooting mechanics feel extremely satisfying and the survival horror elements are wonderful.
    The atmosphere and the representation are perfect, and they're accompanied by breathtaking graphics, outstanding audio and absolutely incredible level design. These are some of the most important parts in a survival horror game for me and Resident Evil 2 excels in every single one of them.
    Also, the boss fights are surprisingly exciting and interesting, albeit not very well designed for the most part.
    I feel like the only serious complaint I have about the game is how the second run feels very similar to the first run and its implementation messes up the story and the backtracking in some instances, unfortunately.

    Pros:
    + Addictive gameplay
    + Superb atmosphere & audio
    + Gorgeous visuals
    + Awesome level design

    Cons:
    - The addition of the second run isn't executed very well

    Narrative: 4/10
    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: ?/10
    Characters: 6/10
    Graphics/Audio: 10/10

    Final Rating: 9/10
    - Amazing -
    Resident Evil 2 is an excellent survival horror game and a fantastic game overall... and that comes from someone who isn't a big fan of horror games.

    Do I recommend it?:
    It's quite scary but very enjoyable experience, so... yes, unless you despise horror games.

    - the game looks beautiful
    - the sound design is unrivaled

    Cons
    - while the game offers scenario A and B for both characters, not much changes besides the first five and the last five minutes

    This is a remake of one of the classic horror games that completely redefines the word remake. When I hear about a game being remade and remastered for the modern consoles it usually means that they added three pixels to a single can in level 3 and that is it. However, RE2 is a completely new game made from the ground up and given so much love, care and attention that it came out as one of the most beloved games of the modern generation.

    Top to bottom this game looks beautiful and sounds just divine. I swear to god if you play this with a solid pair of headphones you can avoid enemies just by hearing them from around a corner perfectly. The spatial awareness this sound system allows is unlike anything I have ever seen.

    Segmented into four different scenarios, you can attack this game from any direction you like. You can play as either Leon or Claire, each with their own unique arsenal of weapons, their own stories, their own unique bosses and even their own separate sections of the game.

    The only place where the game stumbles is the differences between the A and B scenarios. Sure there are differences like different solutions to the various puzzles, but if you played Leon A and went into Leon B, besides the first cutscene and the unique pathing in the first five minutes, the playthrough is identical story wise, besides once again, the final five minutes. Cutscenes and all.

    This however is not as big of a deal for me, as I had plenty of fun speedrunning through the game after my first playthrough, in order to get the S tier playthroughs. Hardcore brings its own unique challenge, with limiting the inventory slots upgrades from six to three and requiring items found in the game to save.

    Overall, RE2 Remake should be a gold standard on how to bring an old classic to modern audiences. If you have not played this gem, you won't regret picking it up.

The sound design is spot-on, with every creak and groan in the background adding to the tension and fear.

    The gameplay is just as good as the graphics and sound. The controls are tight, and the combat is satisfyingly challenging. The puzzles are clever and engaging, and they fit seamlessly into the narrative. The game is also optimized for the PS4, with smooth and fluid gameplay.

    The story follows Leon and Claire, two characters trying to survive a zombie apocalypse in Raccoon City. The narrative is gripping, and the characters are well-written and engaging. The game also features multiple endings, giving players a reason to replay the game.

    Overall, Resident Evil 2 is a must-play game for fans of the genre. The game's pacing, graphics, sound, and gameplay all come together to create a terrifyingly great experience. The game does have some minor flaws, but they do not detract from the overall experience. The game earns a 9/10 rating on Metacritic.

    I'm not in the majority with this opinion, but this is a boring puzzle game that teases you with great shooting mechanics and barely any zombies to shoot. I hope you like shooting bosses though, plenty of them. This is a testament to why 3-6 progressively cranked up the action to the umpteenth degree.

Trazendo o terror vivido por Claire Redfield e Leon S. Kennedy em Raccon City, Resident Evil 2 possui apenas pontos positivos. Sobre a gameplay: muito mais dinâmica com a câmera over the shoulder e a possibilidade de movimentação ao mirar, pois antes a câmera era fixa e não era permitido a movimentação ao usar uma arma, o que tornava a gameplay muito engessada e longe da realidade; o sistema de backtracking está bastante presente nesse jogo, sendo uma marca registrada na franquia. Sobre os gráficos e ambientação: estão perfeitos, e em cada ambiente há um nível de detalhe e realismo muito bem feito ao ponto de você sentir que está mesmo dentro do universo de Resident Evil; a iluminação é um ponto muito alto aqui. Sobre os inimigos: imprevisíveis e resistentes, o que faz você refletir se vale a pena gastar seus recursos ou apenas ignorá-los; há excelentes batalhas de chefes. Sobre a história: o drama aqui é de longe muito melhor que o original, onde a dublagem era muito mecanizada e não transmitia emoções; aqui sentiremos o desespero dos personagens em buscar uma saída, bem como mostram mais sua personalidade durante o decorrer do jogo, seja nas cutscenes ou na própria gameplay, onde os personagens são reativos aos inimigos. O drama envolvendo a família Birkin é melhor explorado também. O terror está presente do começo ao fim, e mesmo finalizando o jogo várias vezes, ele consegue trazer esse sentimento cada nova campanha. O jogo possui um fator replay muito grande, não só pelo fato de ser dividido em duas jornadas, mas que a experiência é tão positiva que faz você querer testar suas habilidades em uma dificuldade mais avançada ou para desbloquear as recompensas por rank. Vale muito a pena jogar Resident Evil 2. Expand

    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

    The puzzles are fun, the setting is cool, hearing the foot steps of the big dude is always creepy, and the gameplay is good. I had a great time playing this. This was the 2nd RE game I've really played. Beat 5 as a kid but barely remember it so I don't count it.

Porem vale ressaltar que segundo a Capcom este jogo não é um remake e sim uma reimaginação o que justifica algumas mudanças no seu enredo, o que não diminui o jogo em nada. Se vc é fã de survival horror ou dos Resident Evils clássicos do PS1 e PS2 esse é um jogo essencial para vc. Expand

    Screen is too dark and hard to see. No mini-map.
    Ammo is low and zombies are hard.
    Unlike the original, the appearance of tyrants is depressing.

    Resident Evil 2... It's back to the nostalgic survival horror we loved so much for so many years. CAPCOM has delivered an amazing game. I'd give it a 11/10 if I could, and maybe more.

My only problem with the game is that it's missing the uniqueness of the A and B scenarios from the original Resident Evil 2. That's just me nit-picking what I can about it. The game replaces things around to make it more than just a remake which is what is needed in the franchise. It's truly an amazing game that knows what it is, and I thank God that this game came out. It's definitely earned my favorite Survival Horror game. I'm glad to experience it again in a new light. If you read this review thanks for giving it the time to read.

    -Sound is great
    -Length is great
    -Level Design is awesome.
    -No big changes in the story.

    For me simply one of the best games of the last decade. Playing it on the hardest mode is just what a Game, playing in a Zombie Apocalypse, should feel like. You think twice what kinda equipment you carry and what move you make next, because everything is deadly. In my honest opinion: this game is just perfect. Played through it a couple of times. Love it every time I do.
    The chances of ruining a remake and therefore pulling the original title with it into the abyss of disappointment are always pretty high. Especially if you change a game so drastically in turns of perspective like this one. From the original locked camera game with is almost non dynamic but more tactical approach, to a third person shooter, what makes a game insanely more dynamic just by that change. And with that change of perspective it is easy to induce too much action into it. (Resident evil 4 Is a good example here, because of the third person perspective and the fast shooting, loading and aiming, the action factor is pretty high.) To not loose the connection to the original tactical feeling is the art. But they mastered this links between old and new perfectly. It really feels like the original resident evil 2 in third person. Very well done Capcom!

    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.

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:
    - Two-part story that have a lot of overlap and yet are not connected as a whole

    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.
