    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

    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.

    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...).

    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.

    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?

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.

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

    I'm not in the majority with this opinion, but this is a boring puzzle game that teases you with great shooting mechanics and barely any zombies to shoot. I hope you like shooting bosses though, plenty of them. This is a testament to why 3-6 progressively cranked up the action to the umpteenth degree.

    Game is extremely boring. Weak story, few dialogs, bad combat design, repetitiveness and a lot of back tracking.

    Game play is fun for a while, until you get to a boss fight, then you will want to pull your hair out. I only play on Hardcore. I have never played on any other difficulty because then you don't get the ink ribbon and inventory experience of the original. Couldn't they have left those in tact while just making the bosses easier? Any why can't I break free from a zombie by mashing buttons, like in the original? Why can't I stomp a grounded zombies head, like in the original?

    The game focused heavily on puzzles scattered throughout the infested city which, in turn, involved quite a bit of back-tracking. The satisfaction comes from putting all of the pieces together as you explore the map and facing dangers that will always put you on the edge of your seat.

    Resident Evil 2 excelled over other survival horror games by emphasizing on the never-ending threat(s) that challenge you to manage your equipment and supplies efficiently. Going through certain areas in the game made me question whether it was worth spending my HP or ammo and to me, this is why Resident Evil 2 deserve a 9; aside from the incredible graphics, atmosphere, and story, it makes you actually think about your decisions and the trade-offs that comes with it.

    The reason that stops RE2 from getting a 10 is the somewhat poor dialogue that may or may not be too noticeable through protagonists regardless of the great voice performances. In addition to the cliche-esque dialogues, the game also consists of silly plot-holes that can be easily neglected and enjoyed.

    Yes it is a short game, but having the same system of A and B gives it replay value, also it has some extra minigames. It feels like a good Resident Evil.

    If RE2 was already one of my favorites, this adaptation enhances it in the best way, a good mix between RE2 + RE4 + RE7.

    PS. I think my only complaint would be that I don't consider this title as a remake, if not a reinterpretation, due to the big camera change, don't get me wrong, I love this perspective from the shoulder, but I think that for it to be a remake, a classic camera was necessary. Still it's one of my favorite RE (better than RE 7, btw).

    On retrouve nos chers protagonistes, Leon Kennedy et Claire Redfield, s'imprégnant dans une aventure horrifique à Racoon City, et leurs but...est bien de survivre !

    """
    Ce qui fait la diversité de ce jeu, c'est qu'il y a deux modes histoire, le premier où tu vas incarner Leon Kennedy, et le second où tu vas incarner Claire Redfield. En plus, l'intelligence de ce jeu c'est que, peut importe si tu incarne tel(s) personnage (s), l'histoire est la même et les événements se dérouleront de la même façon. En gros les séquences se suivent même avec les histoires différentes.
    """

    """
    Le jeu est composé d'un mode facile, normal et hardcore. D'ailleurs, après l'avoir fini, vous aurez quelques **** bonus pour prolonger le plaisir. En gros ce sera d'autres **** gameplay, enfin d'autres défis, qui auront des difficultés différentes, parce que certains sont plus durs que d'autres.
    """

    D'ailleurs il n'est pas facile (même si tu le met en mode facile), vous aurez beaucoup d'énigmes, d'ailleurs elles se trouvent beaucoup dans la partie du commissariat. D'ailleurs qu'est ce que je pense de la partie du commissariat ?

    COMMISSARIAT (CRITIQUE) :
    C'est une excellente partie, d'où l'espace est gigantesque pour nous faire découvrir tel(s) et tel(s) énigmes. Pour faire renforcer l'ambiance horrifique, il y aura bien sûr, quelques endroits plongés dans le noir d'où certaines créatures (qui sont puissantes niveau des attaques), feront leurs présences. Mais ce n'est pas tout, l'énorme point fort du jeu c'est
    """
    que une créature gigantesque, du nom de Mr X alias le Tyrant, vous poursuivra sans arrêt dans tout le commissariat
    """
    , histoire de nous mettre plus en tension, ce qui créera une sorte de course contre la montre.

    D'ailleurs comme je le dis, il n'est absolument pas facile, parce que le faite de viser la tête d'un zombie n'est pas du tout évident, surtout si il passe son temps à bouger... un conseil, si vous voulez en ralentir un, visez les jambes ;)

    D'ailleurs, une erreur à ne pas absolument faire :
    *Ca ne sert à rien de tirer toutes vos balles sur le tyrant, du coup vous aurez épuiser toutes vos munitions et il ne mourra pas, car il est invincible*

    EN COMBIEN DE TEMPS SE FINIT-IL ?
    En 10 heures, mais si vous l'avez déjà fini, et que vous le refaite cette fois-ci en speedrunnant, le temps de gameplay sera de 3h.

    Qui est le plus beau ? Claire ou Leon ?

    """
    Ce n'est pas important, bien sûr que je n'allais pas aborder ce point ;)
    """

    LES POINTS POSITIFS :
    - Un Tyrant invincible qui vous poursuit sans arrêt
    - Une excellente ambiance et un environnement agréable
    - Une scène de fin explosive !
    - Un alligator zombifié
    - Aucun bug !
    - Des graphismes excellents bien sûr !

    LES POINTS NEGATIFS :
    - Le fait qu'on ne puisse pas esquiver les attaques
    - Le fait de viser la tête d'un zombie n'est pas évident (peut importe la sensibilité)
    - Qu'on ne puisse pas survivre à l'attaque d'une créature (qui a l'apparence d'une plante) dans le labo !

    CONCLUSION : Un chef-d'oeuvre du genre des jeux horrifiques !

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, creepy atmosphere, true to the original and has good replay value.

    The story feels a bit plain and dated though and the writing doesn’t feel very modern, but since it’s a remake this isn’t really a bad thing.

    + Graphics and atmosphere are great
    + Tense survival action with loads of RE-hallmarked ”Yes I made it! Aw **** now I gotta go back through there again”-moments
    + Nostalgia

    - Voice acting and writing feels shallow and quite unengaging (I can’t imagine anyone reacting to a mutated 10-foot abomination with a casual ”This HAS to be a joke.”)
    - The story feels very ”90’s”

    In particular, the love story sub-plot between Leon and Ada is incredibly cringe-worthy. It’s a good thing he didn’t stay on the force being so gullible and prone to manipulation.

    But all in all, it’s a remake that stays very true to its original while doing an incredible job of face-lifting both graphics and gameplay to make it feel modern and engaging.
