    Capcom is really good at remakes. It's an absolute masterpiece. I played the whole game nervously.Because a zombie could show up at any moment.

    The classic Resident Evil game that sets the action and horror level very well. Although I got to know the Resident Evil series with the 7th game, this was my favorite game. really successful.

    One of the best games of all time. Great package overall, beautiful graphics, great optimisation, so much content for a very low price. This is what survival horror is all about!

    A masterfully recreated game of the original, I wouldn't call the remake a perfect remake but it's damn close. For me what stops this remake from being a perfect 10 is that Claire does not get her iconic crossbow in this game (come on, you could have easily put this in Capcom and had it make sense.

Off the top of my head; you find it in the evidence room accompanied by a memo saying it was confiscated from a game hunter after being arrested for drunken behaviour) and because the devs REALLY missed a golden opportunity to have Leon and Claire interact more through the story. If time was a factor or laziness simply not wanting to animate cutscenes it would have been so easy to just have the characters communicate over the radio. Overall, a must play on any platform.… Expand

    simplesmente lindo. um projeto de respeito, praticamente uma carta de amor pros reisdent evil's classicos do ps1.

    aliás, resident evil 5 e 6 não merecem um remake

    For me, the best Resident Evil game to date. Only thing that let it down was the b scenarios and lack of interaction between the 2 leads which was present in the original but still as far as a single experience it's pretty much flawless

    As a newcomer to this series, i started with resident evil 2. All i can say is its a very amazing game, the visuals,gameplay, characters,etc. are all very good, it has a great story. It has great dlc's as well, completed all of them. This was almost close to a masterpiece, if not for the bad enemy/boss variety and few sequences were boring. So its a 9.5/10 for me. Highly recommened.

    Definitely and i dont say this without meaning TOP 2 resident evil game to ever release. This is imo the re experience, by this time re4 remake has come out and while both are very good, this is the re experience. The level design is incredible, the atmosphere is incredible, MR X is so intimidating. Really good

    Great horror game. Gameplay is smooth, there is good action and it has scary chases through the map. Atmosphere keeps you on your toes with tension if you have enough to survive next minutes.

    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.
