    An excellent reimagining of Resident Evil 2. If there is one game you should play for PS4, it's this one. Like Zelda, but with guns & zombies. I wouldn't quite classify it as a straight up remake though, but it's very close.

    Lack of zapping system in remake which cause missing the B scenario in the original edition. The map of the lab can be better. However these flaws won't affect that I will give this game a 10 out of 10.

    I have never played any resident evil game prior to this one and this was one hell of an introduction. No hand holding, excellent pacing and the first game to actually scare me. One of the few remakes that's actually good if not better than the original. 10/10

    Excellent game, one of the best of the Resident Evil series. They managed to make this remake enjoyable for both new players and fans of the original. The small tweaks on the story and gameplay were perfectly executed. It's a game where you just want to play it several times.

    I still remember, the day I got a copy of RE2 on pc I happen to get home and family was out for the rest of the afternoon. You wont believe the jump scares I got from it. Specially on the first time the zombie dog jump through the window on the hallway. I loved the puzzles, and the atmosphere created by the sounds of your steps, made you feel you were in danger at every second.

I have to say this new version, surpassed my expectations, I loved I was able to play one of my all time favorites, in a different person view, and with an improved inventory, and shooting. Only down was that it felt too short. Wish I had more new areas we didn't have in the original. Like expand the city a bit more. But I'm happy we got this treat of a game.… Expand

    I remember my cousin playing the original on the N64 and was scared half to death. Years later I finally decided to tackle it as I'm older but to my realization, this game still makes me poop my pants, thanks to Mr. X.

    this game its one of the best, if not the best remake ever done. i played it on the ps5 and damn, stunning visuals + locked 60 fps feels so good. the puzzles and the game design (and of course the plot) are jaw dropping, and theres a feeling inside you that makes you want to explore the whole thing, all the places to find more supplies and learn more about the lore behind it all. butthis game its one of the best, if not the best remake ever done. i played it on the ps5 and damn, stunning visuals + locked 60 fps feels so good. the puzzles and the game design (and of course the plot) are jaw dropping, and theres a feeling inside you that makes you want to explore the whole thing, all the places to find more supplies and learn more about the lore behind it all. but theres also a sense of loneliness and fear there, which, seriously, its amazing. a must play for anyone who can put theirs hands on it.… Expand

    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good: Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan. Story is simple and thank god    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good:
    Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan.

    Story is simple and thank god for that, no great morels beside helping people and zombies/umbrella = bad. This is Resident Evil, story comes second or not at all.

    Characters like the story are simple but receive just enough developmental to feel more then one dimensional Resident Evil characters. Its also fun seeing baby face Leon and Clair who are just great as the protagonists.

    No Ludonarrative Dissonance here, I find it very distracting when the story and game play tones thematically don't match. RE2 pulls this off with the threat feeling real in both cut scenes and in game. Its a small thing but your character model becomes more damaged as the game goes on, really helps to connect the cut scenes and game play.

    Mr X is awesome

    Very repayable, first time you a just making it through by the skim of your teeth, 2nd you are much more confident and can get through with a lot more ease and 3rd, 4th and 5th times you are going for speed runs for unlocks but you never disrespect the common zombie because they are always a threat.

    The different scenarios are fun and have enough different item locations to feel fresh

    The Bad:
    I do find it odd that Leon and Clair's scenarios don't cross over at all, this was a feature of the original but is completely absent here. A missed opportunity.

    One exception to the Ludonarrative Dissonance rule is that the main characters can take a few bites in game but in cut scenes one bite a death sentence, oops.

    Conclusion:
    Resident Evil fans have had to put up with some BS in the past but with RE2 remake and the great RE7 a few years back RE is back and Capcom is on a winning streak. I personally cannot wait for RE8, might just be the only reason I buy a PS5......

    10/10 Fantastic game, new standard for Resident Evil, game remakes and maybe survival horror as a whole    … Expand

    I would be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable survival horror game in recent memory than the Resident Evil 2 Remake. 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.

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

    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.
