    Simply put... The greatest video game of all time.

    Capcom please remake RE3 & Outbreak in the exact same style as this game.

    Resident Evil is back baby!

    Resident Evil 2 HD is one of the best entries in the Resident Evil series. This game arguably has the best gameplay and story in the series. I’d also go as far as saying this game’s atmosphere is on par with Resident Evil HD. This might also be the most accessible entry in this franchise as the story is still early in the timeline and not too complicated.

This might also be the most accessible entry in this franchise as the story is still early in the timeline and not too complicated. If the Resident Evil franchise interests you, I say start here. There’s a solid story, good characters, fun gameplay, good scares, and a decent amount of replay value. The only thing stopping me from saying this is my dream Resident Evil game is the lack of a co-op mercenary type mode. I know it wasn’t in the original and I don’t consider it to be a flaw, but it would’ve been a welcome addition and kept me coming back frequently to play with friends.… Expand

    Oh boy, how much I hate scary games. And yet, I finished RE2 twice already and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into grinding that platinum trophy. My second favourite game of 2019.

    The game is a master peace. Capcom has exceeded expectations and is possibly there best game to date. The events are slightly different to the original, but I'm glad it isn't. It's absolutely terrifying, especially wondering the gloomy, dark corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department.

    The story could be better and the different scenarios don't differ enough but the game is extremely intense and fun which more than makes up for it. 98/100

    The Resident Evil 2 video game is a way to revive and rescue classics. The whole game is brought and interpreted with the technology of this era. It is not convenient to compare this version with its predecessor. However, it is a good idea to remake classic so that new generations can live these stories with new mechanics and new graphics. In addition, the difficulty is perceived differently by saying it that way, there are complicated puzzles that require patience. Conclusion: Recommended.

    バイオハザード2ビデオゲームは復活し、古典を救うための方法です。 ゲーム全体はこの時代の技術でもたらされ、解釈されています。 このバージョンとその前バージョンを比較するのは便利ではありません。 しかし、新しい世代が新しい力学と新しいグラフィックでこれらの物語を生きることができるように、古典を作り直すことは良い考えです。 また、難しさはそのようにそれを言うことによって異なる認識され、忍耐を必要とする複雑なパズルがあります。 結論：おすすめです。    … Expand

    Much of Resident Evil 2’s milieu is created with the benefit of modern technology, of course, with the RE engine flexing its muscle in lighting and detail and binaural audio creating a genuinely spine-chilling soundscape of shuffling footsteps and inhuman shrieks. But key to it is that somewhat lost art of crafting a small, detailed and believably joined-up setting.

    Resident Evil 2 Remake is everything I was hoping it could be and so much more. It elevates the RE2 experience in every possible way and delivers a tense survival horror game with tight gameplay that feels modern and fresh while remaining sufficiently faithful to the original. This is a must play for all Resident Evil fans.

    As a long time fan who played and enjoyed the original at release, this remake is the definition on how remakes should be. It captured the intense environment of RE as never before.

It captured the intense environment of RE as never before. This is a RE game that actually scared me and made me feel pressure in certain parts which is what i need from a survival horror game.
    The engine used (RE ENGINE) has been improved from RE7 and the new camera angels works almost perfectly (few spots where a bit awkward).
    The re-imagination of the RE2 story is perfect, as a fan of the lore i couldn't be happier.
    The game is lengthy enough to enjoy it but not long enough to discourage second breakthroughs.
    New comers to the series will enjoy it as much as older fans, this game combines the best of being a huge fan-service to the original and offering new perspective to new comers.
    It plays great, it looks great and its scary.
    If you're a fan of the above mentioned; this game is a MUST.    … Expand

    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]
