    Genial juego, con un soberbio ambiente, una gran jugabilidad, una rejugabilidad muy considerable,una buena historia y buenos personajes. Vale la pena

    Superb zombie slaying redone in gorgeous modern presentation. It doesn’t tread the classic RE2 path verbatim but the modern quality of life improvements really help bring the game into a modern era where fans of the original, and newbies alike can all enjoy. A must have for any Zombie fan!

    Game so far is pretty dope. As in the rest of the series, ammo and health always hard to come by. That can get quite frustrating, but you make it through. Definitely worth your time.

    É um ótimo jogo! Extremamente bonito graficamente, com uma história intrigante, inimigos icônicos, terror excepcional (os jump scares são tudo na minha vida).
    Os games extra são incríveis também, jogo sempre.
    É gratificante o cuidado que a Capcom teve com esse Remake, sendo bastante fiel ao original. Um dos maiores acertos e com certeza um dos melhores jogos de RE

    A great remake with engaging gameplay, immersive video and audio design. Just a little too short for my liking.

    I don't see what all the hype is about. It's a well-executed Resident Evil game. There's nothing particularly special or original about it. Compared to RE7 which was a true masterpiece 9/10 and truly revolutionary, RE2 remake is like the title, just a standard remake. It really doesn't go beyond that.

    Not gunna write out a novel on how much I love this game but damn it’s great. In my top 5 RE’s of all time.. if I had to pick, so far it would be..

    1. RE4
    2. RE2 Remake ( this one )
    3. RE1HD Remake
    4. RE7
    5. RE3 original ( not the remake )..

    **** love Resident Evil.

    As a long time fan of the series, seeing this game getting a remake treatment has put a smile on my face. I had bought the deluxe edition at launch date, and didn't disappoint. I was hoping the scenario routes for both Leon & Claire was different like the original Resi 2, but beggers can't be choosers. Some of the new puzzles are OK, as for the Ghost Survivor DLC, is pretty cool to have.

    An absolute masterpiece. Technically perfect: superb gameplay and perfect graphics.
    Intense, thrilling and fun story although with some puzzlingly stupid details (some character dress, some lines of the plot...).
    Must play (and re-play, and re-play....)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really enjoyable game, the graphics are great, the cinematography (if you can call it that) is just jaw dropping. With this game it's the simple things that make it work, an interface that doesn't get in the way, voices and acting that believable, the easing between cutscene and gameplay. It's all refined and well executed.

    They seem to really get what makes a horror game, the storyline, the iconic imagery and genuinely scary moments.

    One niggle to the game is that you have the ability to play the game along the same timeline with two main characters but in many cases, you do the same objectives - it would be nice to have been totally separate.    … Expand

    Resident evil as I always wanted it. There are a lot of puzzles, the doors opening and closing without loading is really the turning point, although it was an implementation that was already present in 4. I enjoyed playing with it.It remains one of my favorite video games, I expected to see the same quality in 3 too, unfortunately it wasn't like that. Why not turn RE 7 into this kind of game?

    Resident Evil 2 es el ejemplo de como hacer un Remake perfecto, junto con FFVII, estos juegos hacen un giro en prácticamente todo el juego original, pero se siente la esencia que tenían originalmente, León y Claire son excelentes personajes y muy queridos por el fandom, y ese nuevo estilo les quedo de lujo, la historia es muy muy interesante, es muy buena, el único pero que se le tiene, yResident Evil 2 es el ejemplo de como hacer un Remake perfecto, junto con FFVII, estos juegos hacen un giro en prácticamente todo el juego original, pero se siente la esencia que tenían originalmente, León y Claire son excelentes personajes y muy queridos por el fandom, y ese nuevo estilo les quedo de lujo, la historia es muy muy interesante, es muy buena, el único pero que se le tiene, y que eso le resta para no ser un juego de 95, tiene unas contradicciones BRUTALES, son simplemente horribles, parece que Capcom no pensó mucho sobre la conexión de ambas historias y solo hicieron partes nuevas junto con reciclado, pero bueno, es de los pocos puntos malos que le podría encontrar, pero realmente es un algo negativo muy gordo, la cámara le queda perfecto, es simplemente asombroso jugar RE2 con cámara en tercera persona, y Mr. X es igual de tenebroso que en el original, sin duda estar investigando y de repente oír los pasos de que se aproxima es fabuloso, las armas de cada uno son bastante buenas, pero sinceramente me quedo con Claire, su historia como armas me atraen mas, realmente es un muy muy buen juego, me hubiera gustado ver localizaciones nuevas o enemigos nuevos, aunque esto ya es una opinión impopular, sin dudas junto a FFVII es el mejor Remake jamás hecho, logro hacer un juego tanto para viejos jugadores como para los nuevos jugadores, muy bien Capcom, podría atreverme a decir que es el mejor juego que hiciste en la generación de Ps4 y One, es una terrible joya.… Expand

    Resident Evil has always been a hallmark of my childhood nostalgia. I remember spending entire nights watching my older brother play through the titles while my father helped solve puzzles and point him in the right direction.

I remember spending entire nights watching my older brother play through the titles while my father helped solve puzzles and point him in the right direction. Fast forward almost 18 years later, It'd finally be my chance to play a resident evil title on my own. I think the most impressive feat that this game accomplished was it's ability to really go all in on that horror atmosphere that has been missing from the last few titles. In the previous installments (mostly Resident evil 5 and 6) the non-stop action made it a little bit difficult to really embrace its history as a top dog in the survival horror genre. I think Resident Evil 2 Remake is a perfect entry in the series because it really cements this series as one of the greatest of all time. Despite the game being third person and lacking the "tank controls" of the original, I think Capcom did an excellent job portraying Leon's first day on the job through the intentionally clunky controls and the zombies themselves being bullet sponges just like the classic titles. The return of certain enemies allows for some truly dynamic gameplay sequences that make for some really memorable moments. The new and improved layout of the police station along with all of the updated puzzles and level designs does the original plenty of justice. All in all, I think that Resident Evil 2 Remake deserves all of the praise it's gotten and then some for putting Capcom back on the map and restoring the Resident Evil franchise to its former glory.… Expand

    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

Además, al ser un juego que llegó casi al final de la generación, aprovecha al máximo la potencia de estas consolas. También hay que destacar sus 2 campañas (Leon y Claire), que aunque no tienen una coherencia narrativa perfecta, aportan cada una sus diferencias suficientes como para hacer que el título sea muy rejugable. Recomiendo mucho jugarlo en la dificultad más alta (hardcore) para disfrutar realmente el juego. Duración aproximada: 20 horas con las 2 campañas.… 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.
