    This game is so good it set a new standard for future RE games. The only nitpicks I have is the characters should be able to run faster - even for a short period of time - and turn on and off the flashlight at will. Everything else is almost perfect.

    Recientemente me lo he pasado tras haber jugado al 7,village y 4 remake, y debo decir que sí, tiene la esencia que todo Resident Evil debe tener, para mí no supera al 4 porque no me convence del todo el tema que juegues dos veces algo similar para conocer las dos historias, pero dejando de lado eso, es un juego fantástico, muy buen cuidado, con unas mecánicas perfectas y un transfondo yRecientemente me lo he pasado tras haber jugado al 7,village y 4 remake, y debo decir que sí, tiene la esencia que todo Resident Evil debe tener, para mí no supera al 4 porque no me convence del todo el tema que juegues dos veces algo similar para conocer las dos historias, pero dejando de lado eso, es un juego fantástico, muy buen cuidado, con unas mecánicas perfectas y un transfondo y escenarios bastante correctos.

    Отличнейшая игра, нет слов. Я не играл в оригинальную игру, но несмотря на это, RE2 Remake мне очень сильно полюбился. Однозначно лучшая игра 2019 года

    Un remake a la altura de una obra maestra de ps1. Gráficos inmersivos, buena dificultdad....todo lo que un fan de los resident evil clásicos esperaría de una juego de nueva generación.

    Es lo mejor que he jugado en PS4, los unicos errores son la poca consistencia que hay entre sus dos campañas.

    Very good remake. Idea and implementation on high level. Likes atmosphere, dark corners. Not same game with better graphics, but still gives nostalgic senses.

    Juegazo de calidad, desde el primer trailer dio buenas vibras y el juego es muy bueno tanto en duracion como en su genero, tiene fallitos pero son insignificantes aunque como remake es brutal y lo que se a recortado son cosas minimas, en fin un juegazo de lujo.

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

    I can't describe what this game made me feel. I felt relaxed because of cleaning the map and trying to collect all the objects, but I also had this weird feeling in my stomach because of the zombies that may appear at any moment.
    I hope this remake of an old RE makes other developers to make games like the first RE and Silent Hill.

    Quando estavam desenvolvendo esse jogo achei que a escolha da câmera em terceira pessoa em cima dos ombros era meio estranha por não ser nem a câmera do jogo original e nem a câmera que a CAPCOM estava introduzindo em seus títulos mais recentes, a câmera em primeira pessoa, e no fim eles escolheram um estilo de câmera que estavam abandonando... estranho mas... .

Pensei: bom pra mim porque não sou particularmente fã da câmera em primeira pessoa, mas fiquei um pouco chateado já que esperava a câmera clássica já que para mim o remake do 1 foi mais do que perfeito e eu esperava que um remake do 2 seguisse aquele modelo que deu muito certo. Achava que a câmera nessa posição fosse levar o jogo pro mesmo lado dos RE4 e RE5, jogos dos quais eu gosto mas n era o que esperava do remake do dois. No final das contas essa escolha se mostrou muito fantasístico ao meu ver, uma vez que o estilo do jogo não foi puxado para o lado dos títulos de ação. Na verdade, e surpreendentemente, a atmosfera dos jogos clássicos se manteve, muito por causa da ótima ambientação, com lugares escuros, mas também por eles terem mantido os inimigos base (os zumbis) difíceis (o suficiente) de matar. Alias o jeito como eles parecem que morreram mas levantam depois de um tempo foi uma excelente adição ao clima de terror e insegurança. A manutenção do conceito de indas e vindas pelo mapa atras de itens chave somadas ao clima pesado, formado pela estética visual/sonora + inimigos que não são super fáceis de matar/ contornar + controles que não são super dinâmicos, e os gráficos potentes + o novo estilo de câmera, deu o jogo na minha opinião um ar de a modernização perfeita da própria essência dos títulos clássicos, tornando esse jogo um remake quasa perfeito, o único motivo pelo qual a nota é 9/10 e não 10/10 é que o jogo remove pequenas coisas da obra clássica, e aqui eu não digo que muda, ele corta mesmo: por exemplo as campanas B dos dois personagens são muito mais similares agr do na obra clássica. A talvez mais de uma década atrás o remake do próprio RE1, mostrou que um remake poderia ser o jogo original otimamente refeito + adições, e nisso a urgência do mercado moderno não permitiu ao RE2 remake.… Expand

    Resident evil 2 remake would’ve been a 10/10 if the scenarios made since, but it’s still a great game and should’ve won game of the year in 2019.

    One of the best remakes of games ever made, the game brings new details to the plot giving more cohesion to events. Gameplay as well as all the dynamics and graphics of the game are accurate. Some elements of the classic game were missing. I felt that there was a lack of interaction between the protagonists.

    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

    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]
