    Exactly what a modern Resident Evil title should be. It's genuinely terrifying, you get to explore every nook and cranny, the tension is always there, and it's just one excellent remake overall.

    Listen Square Enix, this is how you do a remake.

    The atmosphere and plot were mostly kept faithful to. The original soundtrack is available (and still better, frankly.) But the gameplay and graphics are a huge step up. The combat is improved, and Mr X as a roaming enemy is a fantastic idea. Its basically every thing a remake should be.

    -Sound is great
    -Length is great
    -Level Design is awesome.
    -No big changes in the story.

    For me simply one of the best games of the last decade. Playing it on the hardest mode is just what a Game, playing in a Zombie Apocalypse, should feel like. You think twice what kinda equipment you carry and what move you make next, because everything is deadly. In my honest opinion: this game is just perfect. Played through it a couple of times. Love it every time I do.
    The chances of ruining a remake and therefore pulling the original title with it into the abyss of disappointment are always pretty high. Especially if you change a game so drastically in turns of perspective like this one. From the original locked camera game with is almost non dynamic but more tactical approach, to a third person shooter, what makes a game insanely more dynamic just by that change. And with that change of perspective it is easy to induce too much action into it. (Resident evil 4 Is a good example here, because of the third person perspective and the fast shooting, loading and aiming, the action factor is pretty high.) To not loose the connection to the original tactical feeling is the art. But they mastered this links between old and new perfectly. It really feels like the original resident evil 2 in third person. Very well done Capcom!    … Expand

    Resident Evil 2 remake has become a prime example of how to reimagine a game. I love the game's simple but charming story, horrific and unique enemies, and incredibly well designed locations to investigate.

Trazendo o terror vivido por Claire Redfield e Leon S. Kennedy em Raccon City, Resident Evil 2 possui apenas pontos positivos. Sobre a gameplay: muito mais dinâmica com a câmera over the shoulder e a possibilidade de movimentação ao mirar, pois antes a câmera era fixa e não era permitido a movimentação ao usar uma arma, o que tornava a gameplay muito engessada e longe da realidade; o sistema de backtracking está bastante presente nesse jogo, sendo uma marca registrada na franquia. Sobre os gráficos e ambientação: estão perfeitos, e em cada ambiente há um nível de detalhe e realismo muito bem feito ao ponto de você sentir que está mesmo dentro do universo de Resident Evil; a iluminação é um ponto muito alto aqui. Sobre os inimigos: imprevisíveis e resistentes, o que faz você refletir se vale a pena gastar seus recursos ou apenas ignorá-los; há excelentes batalhas de chefes. Sobre a história: o drama aqui é de longe muito melhor que o original, onde a dublagem era muito mecanizada e não transmitia emoções; aqui sentiremos o desespero dos personagens em buscar uma saída, bem como mostram mais sua personalidade durante o decorrer do jogo, seja nas cutscenes ou na própria gameplay, onde os personagens são reativos aos inimigos. O drama envolvendo a família Birkin é melhor explorado também. O terror está presente do começo ao fim, e mesmo finalizando o jogo várias vezes, ele consegue trazer esse sentimento cada nova campanha. O jogo possui um fator replay muito grande, não só pelo fato de ser dividido em duas jornadas, mas que a experiência é tão positiva que faz você querer testar suas habilidades em uma dificuldade mais avançada ou para desbloquear as recompensas por rank. Vale muito a pena jogar Resident Evil 2.… Expand

    - the story is simple but well executed
    - the game looks beautiful
    - the sound design is unrivaled

    Cons
    - while the game offers scenario A and B for both characters, not much changes besides the first five and the last five minutes

    This is a remake of one of the classic horror games that completely redefines the word remake. When I hear about a game being remade and remastered for the modern consoles it usually means that they added three pixels to a single can in level 3 and that is it. However, RE2 is a completely new game made from the ground up and given so much love, care and attention that it came out as one of the most beloved games of the modern generation.

    Top to bottom this game looks beautiful and sounds just divine. I swear to god if you play this with a solid pair of headphones you can avoid enemies just by hearing them from around a corner perfectly. The spatial awareness this sound system allows is unlike anything I have ever seen.

    Segmented into four different scenarios, you can attack this game from any direction you like. You can play as either Leon or Claire, each with their own unique arsenal of weapons, their own stories, their own unique bosses and even their own separate sections of the game.

    The only place where the game stumbles is the differences between the A and B scenarios. Sure there are differences like different solutions to the various puzzles, but if you played Leon A and went into Leon B, besides the first cutscene and the unique pathing in the first five minutes, the playthrough is identical story wise, besides once again, the final five minutes. Cutscenes and all.

    This however is not as big of a deal for me, as I had plenty of fun speedrunning through the game after my first playthrough, in order to get the S tier playthroughs. Hardcore brings its own unique challenge, with limiting the inventory slots upgrades from six to three and requiring items found in the game to save.

    Overall, RE2 Remake should be a gold standard on how to bring an old classic to modern audiences. If you have not played this gem, you won't regret picking it up.    … Expand

    The atmosphere in this game is everything and really reminds you how horror games should be instead of never ending jumpscares. It reminds you how terrifying it feels to be chased around and to walk alone in dark corridors with nothing but a few bullets in your gun. The graphics are very detailed, everything feels very polished.
