    Masterpiece is really the only word i can use to adequately describe this project. Every facet is brilliant.

    -The Graphics and the new RE Engine has been buffered and worked on since its RE7 debut and its out of this world -Voice acting is great (looking at you Marvin :) ) - Level Design is amazing and backtracking done just right -The atmosphere is perfect. Its scary. -Gameplay    Masterpiece is really the only word i can use to adequately describe this project. Every facet is brilliant.

    -The atmosphere is perfect. Its scary.
    -Gameplay mechanics feel so good. Mr X comes at just the right time as your getting used to the station to put you back on edge. Ammo is scarce. The game is tough but fair.

    My one gripe is I wish the puzzles were more difficult some can be too simple.

    I love RE2. Go play it.    … Expand

Zombie behaviour and procedural damage is probably the best I've ever seen, making you feel part of a horror movie. The 4 main campaigns offer some additional replayability, although each person will probably find a favourite among the arrangements. Hunk and Tofu(s) return, along with a handful of super weapons to unlock through rankings, all offering a decent sized package. On the downside, as a RE4 fan, I feel like much of that game has been left to die and sadly the combat of this game doesn't come close to RE4's, nor does it have the variety of weaponry, upgrades and lacks the specifics of the inventory system. There are also not that many enemy types (which you could argue was a restriction of the source material in a way, but I feel there was room for a few additions). On top of this, Mr X's behaviour can be irritating at times, rather than horrific. Once you learn his rules, there are times when you're just running around trying to get thing done and he's wasting time rather than feeling like a threat. Also for me personally, I found the random head durability of the zombies to be aggravating at times, as you never know if they will take 12 shots or even just 1. So the optimum way to deal with most enemies is actually to run away, which doesn't suit my play style. With all this said, I feel like this is the second strongest RE game, after RE4. It beats the original and all other RE games in my view.… Expand

    This is a great remake. Capcom is setting a new high standard for remakes. They perfected the spooky atmosphere. I usually don't care about visuals but the graphics are incredible, too.

That is just plain annoying, the Birkin boss is nearly impossible to kill without wasting every single shotgun ammo and every single grenade, plust many pistol bullets (and I rarely missed his arm!!). The hitbox detection is a complete disaster, zombies will ALWAYS grab you even if you are far from them, if you are within 1 meter range, they will attract you like a magnet and grab you. Leon looks so weak, awkwars and the whole game has nothing to do with the original, they forgot to play the original, no creepy music, no atmosphere, no fixed camera angles, no crows, no spiders, no badass Leon and Claire, westernized characters, cheesy voice acting plagued with unnecessary swearing, and plenty of bugs filling this broken game. I am a long Resident Evil fan, I have played the classics as a child, and this one is a spit in the face to me… Expand

    A remake that looks like a whole new game but doesn't loses the original core and essence of the game, implements new mechanics and perfect the already known ones to innovate and at the same time still be Resident Evil at its best not leaving the survival horror elements aside for the action aspects of the game like previous deliveries of the franchise.

    Una joya, el mejor Survival horror de la generación, cámara en 3persona sobre el hombro que te sumerge en el juego, zombies a los que temeras, una dificultad hardcore muy buena, Mr X más implacable y peligroso que nunca, gráficos increíbles y a 60fps y 4k en one X

    This game is short. Way too short and very slow. If you could run faster or non stop then you would be able to complete it in 5 hours. It doesn't last more than 10 or 11 hours if you are slow and exploring everything like me. Not worth the price. Get it cheap if you can and I would recommend Resident Evil 7 over this. It's much better.

    Technically it is OUTSTANDING, graphics, sound, gameplay, etc. The story is the same than the original with a few changes for those who played the 1998 version and want to find something new. It is familiar, but different.

    This game is not only one of the best games ever. It is probably, one of the best remakes ever made. Maybe only the remake of the first Resident Evil for GameCube, and now on the current generations on HD, is on the discussion.

    The only thing I missed were more differences in A-B scenarios (1st and 2nd Run), and more interaction between booth characters during the story. Probably the original made better this aspect. But still, again, this game is a MUST PLAY.

    Came out in January. But probably, having in consideration Sekiro and depending on titles like The Last of Us Part II (if it comes on 2019), it is the main candidate for the "Game Of The Year" 2019 award. Thank you Capcom. Thank you for making Resident Evil scary again. MASTERPIECE.

    The game excels in the horror genre as well, jump scares done right and how can anyone forget the imposing Mr. X chasing you down with his loud footsteps echoing through the gorgeous locations. One of the most horrific moments of gaming history.

    The story is amazing just like the original, with a few changes which make the game more interesting and re-playable in my opinion

    The Second run although not as good as the original second run is still amazing which unlocks new weapons and the true ending, it is also re-playable as most likely you will want to do all runs with both the characters which are my favourite in the franchise Claire and Leon.

    This is a must for zombie or horror gamers which won’t let you down, this is Capcom at its finest but also 2019 at its best.    … 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.
