    An excellent remake overall. Great graphics and does a somewhat better justice to the original RE2. My only gripe is worse dialogue and voice acting, so so inventory layout with limited space and a quick ending, we're talking less than twenty seconds it seems.

    Resident Evil 2 is a complete remake of the classic, and much-loved 1998 original.

    .RE2 retains the things many fans love such as inventory management, puzzles and use of key items, and largely keeps the gloriously silly story of the original game intact. Tank controls and static backdrops are gone, in favour of a more modern third-person over-the-shoulder perspective. This makes combat more intuitive and adds to the immersion.

    Playing in the dark, with headphones or a good sound system helps create some truly tense moments, and the sound design is top notch. Often you can hear enemies before you can see them, sometimes on the floors above you, sometimes right around the corner - ready to strike!
    The audio/visual experience in RE2 is very polished and the game looks stunning, perhaps due to the use of Capcom's proprietary graphics engine, the RE Engine, which was first seen in Resident Evil 7. There were no noticeable drops in frame-rate or other graphical tech issues during my play through; the game ran solidly and smoothly at all times.

    RE2 gives you the option of two different protagonists, Leon or Claire, and depending on who you choose, certain locations and puzzles will be different, but not overtly so. Upon completing the game as one character, you can then play through the second character's campaign. The differences are not huge, but you get to see some more locations and play small sections as sub-characters, which helps flesh out the story.

    Combat is satisfying, with a variety of weapons to brutally dismember zombies and destroy the monsters lurking in the shadows, however it sometimes feels clunky and stilted. I found myself wishing for a button command which allowed me to dodge enemy attacks. Capcom have flirted with the idea of a dodge mechanism in the RE:Revelations spin off titles, to various degrees of success, and it would have made sense to include one in RE2, just to help the combat feel more free-flowing.

    RE2 is not a massive game and each campaign takes between 6-8 hours depending on how thoroughly you explore and which optional puzzles you choose to complete. Capcom have created an experience which is quality over quantity - it's a tight, slick, and well put together game, just don't expect it to be an 80 hour, open world time-sink; it is simply not that type of game, nor does it try to be.

    Overall, RE2 is an utterly fantastic and fun experience, despite some minor concerns. I don't regret paying full retail for it, and I think most Resident Evil fans will eat this up, like a zombie hound chewing on a rotting corpse!    … Expand

    I was a child 20 years ago, I bought my Resident Evil 2 game disc with my pocket money, which left a deep impression on me. After 20 years, I can finally return to the Raccoon City. The game make the dark, wet, rotten Raccoon Police Department look like alive, the game flow is very smooth, the tight resources are just right, the young Leon and Claire are very cute. I love this game!

The music was also missing from the game most of the time. The original RE2 had one of the best soundtracks and it was sad that it wasn't in the remake unless you bought it for extra. I hope they continue with this horror route for the future games. It was great to play some classic Resident Evil. I think they could improve in some aspects though. The campaigns didn't feel like a full story and the game felt a bit rushed towards the end. The separate campaigns hardly intertwined also. I had a lot of fun with the game though since I'm a big fan of the classic games.… Expand

    As an old player, who was 12 when first playing RE1 and RE2 back in the day, I was worried about this remake, thinking "it wouldn't be as it was". And it wasn't, not completely. However, the characters feels genuine and as I remember them, some of the more epic moments has been kept in like I remembered them and the storyline is, albeit built up more, pretty much as I remember it. WhereAs an old player, who was 12 when first playing RE1 and RE2 back in the day, I was worried about this remake, thinking "it wouldn't be as it was". And it wasn't, not completely. However, the characters feels genuine and as I remember them, some of the more epic moments has been kept in like I remembered them and the storyline is, albeit built up more, pretty much as I remember it. Where they've made changes, they've put in alternative scenes, like changing the first licker meeting to a different location or made it play out a bit differently; while yet still having the "feel of the moment" be preserved. I still remember that mind-numbing horror from first seeing the licker, and I felt it again now; to an even greater degree because they have somehow managed to make lickers feel even more bloody terrifying than they were! They're bigger, faster and a genuine threat that makes you hesitate to take them on even if you need to for the one reason or the other. The zombies, you can still run circles around them, for the most part, but they are really pesky and tend to get back up again. So seeing a hallway with 2 or more of them still cause a big lump in my throat, because like the original, ammo is scarce, health items are scarce; and you constantly have to be watchful of how much you spend needlessly.

    I can't comment on much more without spoiling, but that's the essence of it. Somehow, they have recreated the "scares" and amplified them! RE2 RM is an absolutely terrifying game to play at times; and there are moments where you think you're safe, just to turn around and see something that makes your heart pretty much explode. I don't know how many times I started swearing at the screen, cause something scared the living you know what out of me. And I'm not that easy to scare, to be honest, having been a horror movie/-games fan for many years.

    And it does a good job of making sure you get the kind of game experience you want. If you like it rough, there's hard-core mode. If you're on the squeamish side, there's an easy mode. And if you think maybe you just wanna go the middle way, there's that option too. Another thing I really liked was that you can choose your controller set; alternative buttons for various actions. The default button for the running toggle is the R3 (stick) which is rough on my thumb which tends to get inflamed. I could switch the controller set to one where the run toggle was on R1 instead, which is much easier on my hands. So albeit giving you a hard core horrifying experience; the game mechanics themselves are user friendly and gives a lot of options so that you can play the game in a way that's comfortable for you and gives you the kind of experience you want.

    Last things; this game, is possibly the most gorgeous game I have seen in a long, long time! Sure, it's bloody and full of gore, but man those graphics are absolutely amazing from the scenery to the facial animations of the characters. And the atmosphere, created by the eerie music, weird scary noises and the flickering lights here and there; its brutal and ingenious all at the same time. I can't even begin to say how impressed I was by how they've built this fantastic horror play box. There's some serious effort that's been put in and every facet of the game is so incredibly well done.

    For me, who was worried when the details of the game started coming out, I can't say anything else than that they really positively surprised me in the end. It's an easy 10/10 for me; and I am so happy that they did such an amazing job with it, considering I've been waiting 5 years for this game to finally show up, after they announced it was in the works. Must be five years now, no? I waited before that too, but the point is; this old timer is very happy with the end result! And even though Claire and Leon looks younger, it makes sense that they do since they are actually supposed to be quite young and looked perhaps a bit too old for their actual age in the older games. Ada was portrayed pretty well too, although she looks more Asian/white than actual Asian. Imagine a Kristin Kreuk, only maybe a bit less sweet and with a bit more bite.

    I babble. 10/10 guys. Highly recommended if you like scaring yourself silly, hehe. And it works for both old timers like me and the new crowd, I'd imagine, as it tells the story well and stands on its own feet.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil 2 is the remake fans of the game and series have been looking for. There is so much that is done right with this iteration of RE2. Lighting and the OTS perspective add an eerie dimension to once familiar haunting grounds. New players and old will be thrilled and chilled with the additions to the game.

    The classic modes, such as 2nd scenarios, The 4th Survivor, and The Tofu Survivor are still there. New unlockables are available, too, such as art, models, and some nice secrets for hardcore (not necessarily the hardcore mode) players. And Capcom is planning on adding Ghost Survivors for free on February 15th, which will add another mode to the game, so this game is just packed to the gills with content without any of them feeling bloated.

    Much of the game has been cleaned up to reduce the amount of drag in the game. As well as this, the survival horror aspects of the first 3 games are brought back in a wonderful. You're encouraged to not waste bullets on every zombie, though a skilled player can still take down every enemy with no real issues. Many of the set piece fights are changed up to keep players on their toes, including old RE2 players familiar with every aspect of the original game. What's also nice is that the story is allowed to unravel a little less rigidly. You're given no pretext about Umbrella until later in the game.

    This game really sets a high mark for game remakes, and I hope that Capcom will at least follow up with RE3: Nemesis, which is also due for an overhaul for modern generations.    … Expand

It comes so close to being perfect; The only lack luster aspects of the game are the somewhat underwhelming story and characters, but it still makes for an engaging enough plot with decent enough characters to keep you invested and care. The true nature of this masterpiece is the atmosphere, it's level design, the amazingly well rendered and animated monsters, and the sense of desperation as you try to survive with the limited resources that you have. Despite enemies getting somewhat repetitive over halfway through the game, they always manage to be unpredictable and creepy till the end. The true star of the show is mr. X, stalking you from Corridor to corridor with this heavy, loud, echoing steps, vibrating throughout shafts and wooden planks of hallways and rooms. The survival elements are great and well-balanced. Resource Management comes down to organization, Scavenging, crafting, and making sure that you're always prepared at any moment. If you're not, be prepared for hell or likely even death. The amount of content here is fantastic. You can play as either Leon or Claire in two different playthroughs, using different weapons as well as having different story moments and different characters you encounter and play as. As well as there being different modes like the fourth Survivor, second scenarios, costumes, concept art, character models and hardcore mode, and more. This game is fantastic; I wholeheartedly recommend that you buy this game if you love survival horror.… Expand

Не смотря на то, что итоговый продукт выглядит великолепно, не покидает ощущение, что с разработкой и релизом очень торопились, как будто что-то было упущено. Что касается персонажей — Леон просто потрясающий, тот самый Леон, которого мы заслуживаем, Леон здесь — это бьющий ключом энтузиазм, молодость и наивность, хочет спасти всех и каждого, умён и оптимистичен. Лично на мой взгляд, Леон это сердце данной игры, живое и искреннее. И очень жаль, что игра, до неприличного, короткая (проходится за 8 часов в среднем). Далее Клэр — уже лучше, но снова провал, совершенно не похожа на каноничный образ, какой-то совершенно неуместный большой зад и немного колхозная мимика лица. Нет, это не Клэр, но всё таки лучше, чем то отвратительно ужасное воплощение из Revelation 2. Лучшее что было с Клэр, это Resident Evil 2 и Degeneration и кажется на этом Клэр можно смело хоронить, так как попытки Capcom сделать из Клэр жертву в угоду феминистических движений выглядят крайне удручающе. Что касается Ады — как всегда великолепно, да ещё на фоне с местной Клэр, Ада выглядит вдвойне прекрасней. Вообще Ада у Capcom всегда получается совершенно одинаковой внешне (что в случае с её внешностью идет только в плюс). По итогу можно сказать, что игра получилась действительно отличная, не идеальная (идеальных не бывает), но за потрясающе исполненного Леона, готов закрыть глаза на очень короткую продолжительность и в очередной раз провальную Клэр. И думаю успех Resident Evil 2 Remake не оставляет сомнений относительно ремейка третьей части.… Expand

I don't want to seem pretentious so I'm just gonna lay all my cards out on the table and say I don't think it was a great idea trying to do both. Shooting enemies in the game is unsatisfying. Every enemy is very bullet spongy, because the designers clearly wanted the player to not be able to kill every enemy they come across. So very obviously they wanted players to get used to playing something like REmake 1 where you planned you route, learn to juke zombies, and speedrun as fast as you can to the finish by learning the layout. This should have been fixed camera like the classics in my opinion because the third person camera lends itself to action but the gameplay doesn't. The good thing about the action oriented RE games is that the combat in those games are fun on their own and you could play those games just for that and it would be a satisfying experience. Combat in RE2make is very not fun. You're supposed to avoid combat at all costs if you can. The meta of the game is just avoid all enemies and sprint to the finish which makes the replay value of the game very diminished after you learn how to do this.

    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]

    The stunning graphics, incredible survival horror combat and wonderfully eerie setting make picking up a copy of Resident Evil 2 a no-brainer.

    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.
