If you're a fan of the older games you won't be disappointed and the harder difficulties will in fact fill you with the same desperation as RE2 did back when you played it on PS1. For newcomers to the series it certainly offers some help in the form of the assisted mode if you're not comfortable with the survival horror scene. Personally i played in standard mode and had a great time. Managing inventory, deciding whether to run or shoot, searching for keys, clues, and jack handles. I am extremely pleased with my experience. It's also worth mentioning that it's worth playing on PS4 Pro!… Expand

    Resident Evil 2 is the pinnacle of a franchise that’s on an upswing after a series of ups and downs.

    The game is really good and a major step in the right direction for the franchise, the only issues is that both campaigns are pretty much the same thing and Claire's face could have been better looking. I hope they add some free DLC side stories to add more value to the game, the story and game play are both well done along with the music/sound effects and the enemies are also well done.The game is really good and a major step in the right direction for the franchise, the only issues is that both campaigns are pretty much the same thing and Claire's face could have been better looking.

Lo que en un inicio pudo confundirse con una posible secuela de Deadly Creatures (de parte de THQ para el Nintendo Wii) resultó en el juego que necesitábamos, pero no lo sabíamos.

    Resident Evil 2 pasó a considerarse como un remake para después cambiar la idea a una reimaginación, pero no es ni uno ni otro, ¿por qué? Sigue leyendo:

    Después de 20 años de haber salido el original Resident Evil 2, CAPCOM decidió darle una pequeña sacudida al título y nos trae esta obra maestra en todo su esplendor y de la manera en que debería de jugarse sin limitaciones. Lo primero que notarás es el obvio salto en gráficas. Leon S. Kennedy y Claire Redfield regresan como los protagonistas del incidente de Raccoon City junto con Sherry Birkin y Ada Wong como personajes secundarios.

    La historia es exactamente la misma, sin embargo, hay una cantidad considerable de cambios necesarios en varios aspectos. La acción transcurre en la estación de policía de Raccoon City para después avanzar hacia las mismas instalaciones de Umbrella, pero la manera en que se suscitan los hechos cambia. Es aquí donde entra el término de reimaginación.

    Lo mismo, pero es un juego completamente distinto.

    Gracias a la nueva movilidad, las luces se mantienen apagadas y vagarás por los rumbos en una obscuridad casi total que te hará hacer uso de una linterna que tu personaje usará frecuentemente de manera automática. Claro, habrá momentos en los que puedas revivir la fuente de iluminación, pero no cuentes mucho con ello.

    ¿Es un juego para todos?

    Las generaciones actuales no están acostumbradas al género survival horror, y es culpa del mismo CAPCOM, ya que desde Resident Evil 4 nos malacostumbraron a ver a los enemigos como piñatas por la gran cantidad de municiones y hierbas regenerativas que podíamos encontrar. Resident Evil 2 retoma esa ansiedad de querer administrar bien tu suplemento de batalla y no llegar a la guerra sin los medios suficientes.

    La increíble mejora en las gráficas y la gran cantidad de cuidado en los detalles te hará maravillar, pues debes poner atención hasta en las paredes porque podrías encontrar alguna pista para ese puzzle que creías sin solución. También, el juego cuenta con varios easter eggs y guiños a otros RE, además de menciones a varias sagas a la par icónicas.

    El audio es inmejorable. Es una muy buena recomendación jugar con audífonos puestos, ya que de esta manera sentirás el acecho de los enemigos de una mejor manera, adentrándote en los zapatos de Leon o de Claire. Y a pesar de que ya conozcas la historia, el juego se siente tan nuevo que no importa cuán preparado estés para los eventos, esta emplea de manera correcta, y sin ser predecible, los afamados “jump-scares”.

    Un punto negativo es que el juego está limitado en el aspecto de detección de los enemigos, como los Lickers, que únicamente te detectarán si los tocas, corres o si los atacas. Quizá esto te parezca lógico, pero el juego te permite determinar la velocidad con la que caminas, y lo más lógico sería caminar lento para no ser detectado; esto es inútil, pues, aunque camines a toda velocidad, mientras no pulses el botón de correr, los Lickers no te seguirán. Sin duda fue una oportunidad que no aprovecharon como se debía.

    ¿Vale los 60 dólares?
    Cada título requiere su esfuerzo para producirlo y terminarlo. Resident Evil 2 es un juego que se programó desde cero y cada una de sus características son completamente nuevas. Por esta sola razón puedo decir que sí lo vale, pues no es un simple port. Sin embargo, si eres alguien exigente como yo y requieres un alto replay value, déjame decirte un par de párrafos.

    Para obtener la experiencia completa, tienes que terminar el juego cuatro veces como mínimo. Algunos eventos de este cambiarán si eliges primero a Leon o a Claire, es decir, la historia tendrá ligeros cambios si Claire llega primero a la estación de policía, por lo que Leon ya no interactuará de la misma manera, y viceversa. Esto te tomará un tiempo considerable dependiendo el cómo quieras disfrutarlo, pues además hay muchos skins por desbloquear.

    Resident Evil 2 es, en definitiva, un gran título. Sus excelentes ventas no me dejan mentir y CAPCOM cometería un grave error si no comenzara a desarrollar Resident Evil 3 Remake desde ya (aunado a los múltiples guiños que hay). Tal vez la inclusión de un modo multiplayer lo haría mejor, pero por ahora, disfrutemos de la nostalgia renovada que nos otorga.    … Expand

В сравнении с оригинальной игрой - наполнения, диалогов, да и геймплея здесь всё таки меньше. 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

    Magnificient... not only for hardcore fans but also for new comers. The RE Engine is sublime.
    The reasons why I did not give the game a perfect score are two-fold. First, the lack of some cutscenes that were already in the original one. Second, the missed opportunity to create an intertwined scenario with the two protagonists. The choice of scenario A & B is pretty awkward.

    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

    First off, the amount of environment detail, the quality of assets and level design - keeping the scavenging/surviving fun at all times. I did not get bored at any point in the game.

    Play smart; this is not a gunslinger game - conserve ammo, be smart and play with the dismemberment system. Any shot to a zombie will earn you a small window to run past them without triggering a grab.

    I do think the puzzles were a bit too easy; you'd know where to use it immediatly - the trip there, however, might be the challange of it. But it did keep the pacing at a constant rate, which was good.

    The OTS view is excellent. Any other scheme would most likely break the game/immersion. Tank controls would absolutely have ruined it.

    The game engine is fantastically optimized, running heavy environment details and atmospheric effects at a AAA level at all times in densly populated areas - if you disagree, do learn more about game engines, what "costs" in rendering, and cross-platform pitfalls in general. Go for PC version if you're a GFX whore, or PS4 (base/pro) for still awesome gfx, and the good 'ol controller.

    All in all, the most complete horror game to date - excited for more, and please go for RE3 next! Or any new RE game with the same play-style and atmosphere.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Die hallenden Schritte breiten sich in der Ferne aus und nähern sich allmählich. Ich muss schnell sein, denn Tyrant ist hinterher - eine Tötungsmaschine, von der ich mich nur losreißen kann, aber nicht zerstören kann. In den engen Räumen der Polizeistation muss schnell und vorsichtig vorgegangen werden - Leon Kennedy wird bald diesen Albtraum verlassen.

    Als Capcom gerade ein Remake von Resident Evil 2 ankündigte, wartete ich auf die Rückkehr der Horrorklassiker und die Gelegenheit, erneut in die Geheimnisse der Polizeistation Racoon City einzutauchen, von jedem Geräusch in den Abwasserkanälen zu zucken und im Labor zu überleben. Einst war das ursprüngliche Spiel mein erster Horror, es gab mir viele Eindrücke, Tausende tote Nervenzellen und setzte die Messlatte für meine Erwartungen an das Genre. Und als mich der Anfang des Remakes von Resident Evil 2 mit einer Welle von Nostalgie überwältigte, stürzte ich tatsächlich in ein neues Spiel.

    Von der Passage des Originals sind nur Emotionen geblieben, einige Plotpunkte finden ihren Weg in die Erinnerung, aber ansonsten ist es fast eine neue Erfahrung. Das Game hat genug zu bieten, um den Spieler vor dem Bildschirm zu halten. Jeder Fund trägt noch etwas weiter mit sich und aktiviert ein neues Glied in der Kette der Ereignisse um die Charaktere herum.

    Ein Remake von Resident Evil 2 hält ständig in Spannung. Die perfekte Spannung, wo das Blut in den Adern kalt läuft. Es ist nicht nur ein ständiges Gefühl, dass jemand Sie gleich angreift, nein. Das Spiel durchdringt ständig ein Gefühl der Angst, zermalmt die Musik oder äußert die Stille.

    Gleichzeitig gibt es genug Rätseln , von denen einige Neuankömmlinge in die Knie gezwungen werden. Ich hatte zum Beispiel Schwierigkeiten mit der Einbeziehung von Elektrizität auf dem Parkplatz, aber in dieser Zeit gelang es mir, die gesamte Fläche zu reinigen und fast alle Türen zu öffnen. Auf der Karte wird dies äußerst bequem angezeigt - wenn alle Elemente im Raum gesammelt wurden und alle Fragen „geschlossen“ sind, werden sie blau und rot markiert.

    RE2 überraschte mich unangenehm mit der Anzahl der Gegner, die aus dem Nichts kamen. Es gab einen Moment, als ich ins Fotolabor ging, nahm ein Foto mit... beim Ausgehen standen vor mir zwei Zombies, die vorher nicht da waren. Das Fenster ist voll mit Holz, der Flur ist leer. WO KOMMEN DIE HER?!Das nervt. Auch Zombies, die mit 10 Kopfschüsse noch immer aufstehen und zur gleichen Zeit reicht ein Schuss für die anderen. Im Ernst? Solche Momente verderben den Eindruck nicht, aber sie sehen extrem seltsam aus.

    Neuer RE2 ist größer geworden. Wenn das Original an einigen Abenden fertig gespielt werden konnte, beträgt die Dauer einer Kampagne nun etwa 15 Stunden. Irgendwann, nach ein paar Stunden Horror Story lief das Spiel ganz ruhig ab und meine Nervenzellen haben begonnen sich wieder aufzubauen. Nix da! Eine ungewöhnliche Zwischensequenz oder ein neues Hindernis für die Hauptfigur lässt einen fast aufspringen. Du kannst ja nicht vorstellen, wie ich durch die Korridore der Polizeistation gerannt bin, als ich zum ersten Mal den Tyrant traf.

    Wenn du das Original nicht gespielt hast, ist es eine großartige Gelegenheit, den Klassiker kennenzulernen. Höchstwahrscheinlich wirst du dich an das Tempo des Spiels, das Format und einige Aktionen gewöhnen müssen. Zum Beispiel passte ich mein Verhalten nur beim vierten Treffen mit einem Zombie an. Für diejenigen, die sich an Resident Evil erinnern und die Überlieferungen des Spiels gut kennen, ist dies ein Grund, zurück zu gehen um die Erinnerungen zu erfrischen.

    Resident Evil 2 war ein farbenfroher und atmosphärischer Horror. Dich erwarten zwei Kampagnen, etwa 25 Stunden Spielzeit, heftige Schlachten mit Bossen, Rätseln und Geheimnissen der Umbrella Corporation. Und ich gehe meine Nervenzellen wieder aufbauen.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For a game that requires multiple playthroughs of the same story in a largely linear way, I was surprised just how fantastic and addictive this was. Coupled with the difficulty and having to look at videos, i found this game not just something i sat down mindlessly playing but something I really had to concentrate on. I hadn't played the original so had no nostalgia. This was a new experience for me, one which I thoroughly enjoyed.

    Pros:

    I was genuinely scared when travelling down dark corridors - the zombie placements were really good.
    The sound is fantastic. This adds to the tension.
    If you like going for trophies and following guides, the game will definitely scratch an itch.
    Likewise the puzzles can be a real challenge for anyone looking to solve things independently.
    The A - B storylines work perfectly together.
    Shooting the zombies is really satisfying.

    Cons:

    Playing for extended periods of time got exhausting, especially when going for the speedruns.
    If you are looking to mow down waves of zombies you will be disappointed because more often than not you will run past them not killing them.
    The boss battles can be extremely challenging. On boss took me over an hour, 20-30 attempts to defeat.
    Mr X seems to turn up out of the blue at the most annoying points which I understand is to add to the challenge but created moments of extreme rage.

    Whilst I got extremely frustrated in places, I have to give this game a 9. It loses a point because it won't be a game that I will sink 1000s of hours into and if I think about the amount of content, there isn't a huge amount. What there is however, is an extremely tightly woven and polished game which plays fantastically well.    … Expand

    I started only from RE4 so I was thrilled to see how the second entry of this series will be and I was amazed.
    The RE engine is just amazing and what it can handle, from the start I felt disgusted in a positive way from all the gore and felt immersed from the scary atmosphere.
    Also the item management and Mister X build so much tension that I never felt bored. There is just one thing    I started only from RE4 so I was thrilled to see how the second entry of this series will be and I was amazed.

    There is just one thing the developer could have done better.
    After playing both Leon (first) then Claire, I wished there story lines would tie in more together and would built more on each others actions.

    For example, why I extinguished the fire on the helicopter with Leon and in the second playtrough with Claire as well? I am aware it happened in the original RE2 too, but as the developer mentioned, RE2 is more of a reimagination than a remake, so I think they could have figured another way here.

Ich konnte es leider nie lange spielen, weil es einfach zu unheimlich war. Ich bin mir nicht mehr ganz sicher, aber die erste Ingame Cutszene in der ein Glatzköpfiger Zombi an einer Leiche nagt ist mir immer noch schwer im Magen. Das war 1996 und ich war 16. Heute bin ich 43 und spiele das Remake vom Resident Evil 2. RE2 Classic erschien eigentlich 1998 und spielt nicht im Evil Resident sondern im Evil Racoon City. Die Seuche ist ausgebrochen und die Stadt geht vor die Hunde. Als Leon oder Claire kämpft und rätselt man sich durch 4-5 Gebiete die fast alle in guter alter MetroidVania Tradition miteinander verbunden sind. Backtracking ist also für Progress erforderlich. Das erste was man feststellt ist, dass technisch wirklich viel Arbeit und Geld das Spiel gesteckt wurde. Mein Gott sieht das gut aus. Tolle Licht und vor allem zur Stimmung beitragende Schatteneffekte. Feuchte Oberflächen glitzern wunderschön und Schleim und Blut (was bei diesem Spiel durchaus wichtig ist) sieht wunderbar ekelhaft aus. Generell sind die Goreeffekte sehr gut. Animation von Zombies und anderem NPCs sind gelungen. Die Optik ist also ausnahmslos wirklich toll umgesetzt. Was aber im Soundbereich geleistet wurde ist wirklich fantastisch. Es ist so bedrückend wenn man das Schlurfen und stöhnen eine Zombies hört, ihn aber nicht sieht. Alle Gegnersounds sind irgendwie auf diese Art und Weise verstöhrend bis unheimlich.Man ist ständig von Angst geprägt und nervös. Das absichtlich sehr träge Zielsystem und der weniger agile Character tragen noch dazu bei. Ständig lugt man vorsichtig um Ecken und prüft ob Leichen am Boden nicht evtl. doch wieder aufstehen könnten. Angst und vor allem Panik machen sich vor allem dann breit, wenn der Munitionsvorrat zur neige geht. Und das wird immer wieder unweigerlich passieren, denn Munition selten. Die Story kennt man und ich will nicht näher drauf eingehen. Es sei erwähnt, dass es eben RE ist und man da keine Wunder erwarten sollte. Weder in der Art wie erzählt wird, noch in der Ausarbeitung der Protagonisten. Allenfalls 90er Jahre Acitonniveau darf erwartet werden. Dennoch hat es mich unterhalten und ich wollte bis zum Schluss wissen was als nächstes passiert. Deswegen habe ich mich überzeugen lassen, dass Spiel nochmal durchzuspielen, Vor allem auch, weil ein zweiter Durchgang tatsächlich in abgewandelter Form vom Spiel angeboten wird. Soll heißen die Story und RE typischen Rätsel sind leicht abgewandelt. Man kommt in Gebiete die im ersten Durchgang nicht erreichbar waren. Das ist zumindest nett. RE2 Remake hat mir wirklich großen Spaß gemacht. Ich kann es wirklich empfehlen. Ein seht gutes Remake.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Completé su versión clásica más de 80 veces en PC durante mi adolescencia. Han logrado una buena adaptación, expandiendo satisfactoriamente los escenarios para darle esa continuidad fluida, ahora que no hay tiempos de carga entre puertas.

    Aunque se echa en falta algo de puzzles y, en menor medida, algunos enemigos clásicos, las criaturas G, o los lickers son muy duros de pelar, por lo que no eclipsa el entretenimiento. Su modo hardcore está deliciosamente bien llevado. Los extras (gratuitos, una joya a día de hoy), dan un margen de desafío bueno, y ver a 5 "tofus" ha sido una pasada. El DLC de la banda sonora es muy barato, y mejoró otro aspecto que me pareció flojo (aunque aquí me pega la nostalgia en el corazoncito). Lo recomiendo mucho más que la re-imaginación que hicieron de la tercera entrega.

    El principal punto negativo que he de exponer, es que el clásico "zapping system" ahora está ausente, lo que afecta a la continuidad. Pero por entretenimiento y desafío está muy a la altura. Como fan de la saga le daría un 9, dentro de su género (juego de ciclo corto de 3 h cuando ya te lo has pasado, en las siguientes rondas), aunque no alcanza ni en broma a pesos pesados como God Of War, RDR2, Bloodborne, Sekiro, The Witcher 3... ojo, que sigue siendo muy disfrutable.    … Expand

    An excellent reimagining of Resident Evil 2. If there is one game you should play for PS4, it's this one. Like Zelda, but with guns & zombies. I wouldn't quite classify it as a straight up remake though, but it's very close.

    Lack of zapping system in remake which cause missing the B scenario in the original edition. The map of the lab can be better. However these flaws won't affect that I will give this game a 10 out of 10.

    I'm not a Resident evil player but I think R.E 2 remake could've been a good game and I'd like that.

    Visual e gameplay são muito bons, porém a história não é bem construída e as duas campanhas não se encaixam, com eventos que acontecem nas duas, sendo difícil saber que personagem fez o que e quando.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While this game is fun and at multiple point I found myself playing for House because I was enjoying it so much, I ran into some annoying parts that messed up the flow of the game. For me, when Tyrant shows up, the game takes a small dip in the fun factor. I go from a lot of enjoyment to annoyance with this huge gray guy that I can’t kill and teleports all around the station and restricts my ability to explore the station - which was my favorite part. You should in no way play this game for the story by the way, cuz it’s real bad. The most fun parts are the moments where the fear sits in when you’re exploring the zombie ridden police station. There were so many parts I was just blown away by how much I actually wanted to explore everything! When I look past the annoying Tyrant and some of the enemies, this is a pretty good game on it’s own right.… Expand

I have to say this new version, surpassed my expectations, I loved I was able to play one of my all time favorites, in a different person view, and with an improved inventory, and shooting. Only down was that it felt too short. Wish I had more new areas we didn't have in the original. Like expand the city a bit more. But I'm happy we got this treat of a game.… Expand

    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good: Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan. Story is simple and thank god    It feels like this game was made for me, its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but this is a great introduction to survival horror if you have yet to jump in.

    The Good:
    Gameplay is king here. It feels perfect, you are never quite on top of the situation and the game rewards you for both preparing well and improvising when things don't go to plan.

    Story is simple and thank god for that, no great morels beside helping people and zombies/umbrella = bad. This is Resident Evil, story comes second or not at all.

    Characters like the story are simple but receive just enough developmental to feel more then one dimensional Resident Evil characters. Its also fun seeing baby face Leon and Clair who are just great as the protagonists.

    No Ludonarrative Dissonance here, I find it very distracting when the story and game play tones thematically don't match. RE2 pulls this off with the threat feeling real in both cut scenes and in game. Its a small thing but your character model becomes more damaged as the game goes on, really helps to connect the cut scenes and game play.

    Mr X is awesome

    Very repayable, first time you a just making it through by the skim of your teeth, 2nd you are much more confident and can get through with a lot more ease and 3rd, 4th and 5th times you are going for speed runs for unlocks but you never disrespect the common zombie because they are always a threat.

    The different scenarios are fun and have enough different item locations to feel fresh

    The Bad:
    I do find it odd that Leon and Clair's scenarios don't cross over at all, this was a feature of the original but is completely absent here. A missed opportunity.

    One exception to the Ludonarrative Dissonance rule is that the main characters can take a few bites in game but in cut scenes one bite a death sentence, oops.

    Conclusion:
    Resident Evil fans have had to put up with some BS in the past but with RE2 remake and the great RE7 a few years back RE is back and Capcom is on a winning streak. I personally cannot wait for RE8, might just be the only reason I buy a PS5......

    I would be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable survival horror game in recent memory than the Resident Evil 2 Remake.

I personally don't have any sort of nostalgic attachment for the original game, but I do have a tremendous amount of respect for it. Considering how great RE7 turned out, I was more than eager to want to give this game a shot, and man oh man this game just blew it out of the water. At this point in time, RE2R is now my favorite game in the series.

    The story follows much of the same beats as the original RE2, but with a retooled script and additions thrown in to help add to the experience, all the while retaining the personalities and quirks of the characters. Leon is still a loveable dork, Claire is still caring and badass, and Ada is still a mysterious fem fatal. All these characters are voiced incredibly well and are some of the best performances in the series so far. While the situations themselves are still incredibly serious, there's still a level of classic RE camp to help alleviate some of the more dramatic moments, while not feeling to out of place. There are even some genuine emotional moments that personally got to me like with Kendo the gun shop owner. However, I do feel that they could have done a bit more to flesh out Leon and Claire's friendship as they very rarely have any interactions with each other, and very quickly they start to act buddy-buddy with one another. If you are a fan of the original than you may be disappointed to know that the scenario system from the original doesn't work the way it used to. You can still choose Claire A/Leon B and vice versa, but the changes to the layout and item placement from the original is no longer present.

    Honestly, though, that's really it as far as the negatives I have with the game, because everything else about it is just so damn good. If you've played Resident Evil Revelations 2, you'll be familiar with how this game controls. Movement feels just right, the gunplay is tricky, but satisfying to pull off. Ammo is limited early on and the zombies do not go down easy, making them a real threat in this game. The game carries over the traditional item management of the classics, having you choose between important key items, additional ammo or healing items. Knowing the layout of your surroundings is important for you to fully manage your inventory and knowing which paths to take and which zombies to kill or run past. It's survival horror gameplay at its finest. That's not even getting into the horror that is Mr. X. This lumbering brick wall will stalk you everywhere you go. Unless you are in a safe room or are extremely quiet, he will find you and lay the smackdown. It's one of the most intense gameplay elements I have experienced in some time. All of this is backed up by pitch perfect sound design. Everything from the moans of the zombies, to the pounding footsteps of Mr. X, and the well-placed musical cues. The soundtrack for this game overall is great, but a really cool thing that you can do is add the original RE2 98 soundtrack to this game and it fits just as perfectly (though its a shame it's locked behind a paywall).

    If you are even remotely interested in horror games, you need to play this game point blank period. It's not simply one of the best games series has to offer, it's one of the best in its class.    … Expand

    I honestly enjoyed this game very much. It felt great, it felt nice. I loved playing as Claire and I loved playing as Leon. Although I really did not like the A and B scenarios. Capcom could have done them better instead of making them basically a copy and paste of each other. Mr X annoyed me a lot but that was his intention. Overall I loved Leon and Claire.

    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]
