    Exactly what a modern Resident Evil title should be. It's genuinely terrifying, you get to explore every nook and cranny, the tension is always there, and it's just one excellent remake overall.

    Esse Remake é a melhor definição de como Resident Evil deveria ser nos dias atuais... 3° pessoa, lugares apertados, presença de zumbís e terror puro! Foi fiél ao clássico.

    Great remake of the original sadly almost no improvements on the story structure other than better cutscenes and voice acting.

    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!

    Simplesmente esplendido.
    Primordialmente, é importante destacar que houveram mudanças narrativas em relação ao título original, em alguns aspectos negativa como a falta de coerência entre os atos A e B.
    Em segundo plano, o jogo não apresenta outros defeitos. em quesitos técnicos o jogo é impecável, e adapta muito bem a experiência original PS1. O terror é muito presente, e os inimigos

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is interesting, but it's not a remake at all. This game is Resident Evil 7, it looks like Resident Evil 2, the important places of the game, important and special types, the original version of this remake is removed. It's interesting that the new camera was not made for Resident Evil 2. Disappointing and awful remake

The lighting really made this game so much better as well. Mr X is a wonderful addition, constantly keeping me on my toes and it really feels like they've nailed the distribution of resources, although I did find myself running into way more blue herbs than was really necessary. The story is actually pretty good and wholistic from both Leon's and Claire's perspectives, with enough differentiating them to make me want to finish both campaigns to get a fuller understanding of the events unfolding in Raccoon City. RE Engine looks beautiful here as well. Expand

    Waste of Money and Time. Boring Game, mediocre GFX, lame Story, Enemies are dumb/broken, only 4-5h playtime. 15 Years ago this would be good enough but now this is a Joke.

Its a well polished game, its graphics are polished, how the map works, puzzles are addictive and the story and ending is very compelling for a decade old game. Inventory system and gun upgrade is very addicting as well and its voice

    Pedazo de cacho de juegarral, una atmósfera de terror con elementos clásicos de la saga y esa cámara al hombro que tantísimo me gusta, perfectamente doblado al castellano.

    This game is absolutely amazing!
    The atmosphere is tight, scary, and tense. The police station is one of the best video game locations ever, it's just so good and memorable! Tyrant constantly chasing you is also a great addition to the game, as it requires your fast thinking, and pushes you to think fast.
    Definitely one of the best remakes ever. My top favorite game!

    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.

    It's an amazing game with a story that holds you and even being in 3rd person makes you feel a great fear like in the current games of the franchise.

    Uma aula de como fazer um remake de um jogo, Perfeito no que se propõe, fazendo com que um jogo de 1998 que tinha uma jogabilidade ultrapassada, ficasse perfeito nos dias atuais, è um jogo nostálgico que vai mexer com seus sentimentos e deixar vc de boca aberta vendo o quão incríveis ficou o remake. Incrível como a Capcom caprichou aqui.

    As a remake it is incredible. Improves many flaws the original had. Combat, setting, level design, story are all very good. The lack of variety from the A and B scenarios is the main flaw. Not much of a difference between these 2 routes.

    It’s really a 9.5 but whatever, it’s the best horror game ever. I’ve played it 11 times and it never gets old, the pacing never slows down and the atmosphere is the best out of any game.

    Great mysterious atmosphere, great graphics, great puzzles, great horror aspect, great NG+ without much repetition, different endings. Maybe the controls and how the character is moved around is a little outdated, but still is enjoyable. Overall great experience

    Comparing to RE3R way is much much better, let's admit we all seen Capcom could've done in the 3rd game serie remake like if they would've pay attention as much as they did on RE2R

    The best remake in video game history. With the gameplay of RE4, the graphics of RE7 certainly couldn't go wrong and in fact capcom brings RE2 back in a truly excellent way

    One of the best remakes and stayed true to the original where you get to play 2 characters to experience different perspective and locations to go to.

    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.
