Als ich gehört habe das Capcom ein Remake davon machen will, war ich sehr gespannt. Über die Story muss ich ja nicht viel erzählen, die meisten Zocker kennen das Game und viel hat sich nicht geändert. So sehr ich mich auf das Spiel gefreut habe, dennoch habe ich mir bis jetzt Zeit gelassen um es zu Spielen, wieso weiß ich selbst nicht. Es verbindet das Survival-Horror-Feeling der Originalspiele mit der aktualisierten Over-the-Shoulder-Perspektive der modernen Spiele. Für Fans sei gesagt das Spiel fühlt sich Frisch an, es ist kein 1zu1 Remake, es ist fast ein Ganz neues Spiel geworden, und es macht einfach Spaß erneut in die Welt von Resident Evil 2 einzutauchen und soviel neues zu entdecken. Ton und Sprachausgabe sind großartig, ich habe es auf Deutsch gespielt, die Grafik sieht atemberaubend aus, besonders die tollen Details und das Leveldesign sind Hervorragend, auch die Story und Atmosphäre des Spiels sind einfach der Wahnsinn. Die Steuerung funktioniert hervorragend und die Kamera ist bis auf 2–3 Stellen auch nicht zu bemängeln, der Schwierigkeitsgrad ist erhöht worden, so können hier schon Standard Zombies gefährlich werden. Meine Erwartungen waren sehr hoch und die wurden sogar noch übertroffen. Capcom hat mehr als einen hervorragenden Job gemacht. Alles an diesem Remake wurde mit viel Liebe und Mühe fertiggestellt und sie haben das Original sehr gewürdigt und es gleichzeitig frisch gemacht.… Expand

The combat feels good, very good even, and because of that I wish the weapons were a little better (for example the ridiculous rate of fire of the VP70M, 2100 RPM reduced to circa 400), I can understand why they did it, but it doesn't make it less ridiculous. Also a few more models would've been nice. And a slightly more complex injury system, right now it's -1 on most hits, out of 3, with a blue herb I think you can take twice that. I'm not talking about a major rework, with field surgeries, but some minor improvements, like for example regular zombies varying in damage from 0.5 to 2, depending on your movement speed, distance, the speed of the zombie itself. Very retro and old school fans will definitely love it, same with new fans, but it feels very dated and could've been done better.

    Overall, definitely worth getting.    … Expand

    Previamente le había puesto un 7 sobre 10, pero luego de darle otra oportunidad le he subido el puntaje, sigo pensando que se le da demasiado mérito a este juego cuando lo más destacable es el apartado técnico, aún así es un remake muy bueno, solo después del remake del primer Resident Evil.

This game combines item management, tension, horror, fighting zombies and monsters, solving puzzles and a solid story in a way that innovates, but still stays true to the original from 1998. The difficulty on normal is well balanced. The different creatures are challenging to kill, but never unfair. Same goes for the puzzles. Some can be solved by just guessing and pressing buttons, others require more (logical) thinking. Those puzzles that require some brainpower are also challenging, but never impossible and leave you with an honest feeling of accomplishment after you solved them.
    The only negative points i can find are the soundtrack, which is barely there and doesn't really stand out compared to the original and the easy, unoriginal bossfights. Wasted potential in both cases in my opinion.
    What i especially like about the Resident Evil games is the fact, that they slow down the gameplay, they make you stop and look at the details, they make you think about your environment, about your inventory and how you proceed. It is a very welcome change and contrast compared to all the other fast paced-mainstream-openworld-battle-royale-mech-war-scifi-shooter-games currently out there. Although there are some jumpscares here and there, they aren't used too often. If you are not afraid and can stand the horror, try this game out! It might be worth it.    … Expand

    Contras: Parte da Ada é muito sem graça, puzzles repetitivos, arma dela de alta tecnologia e ''hackeamento'' não combina com o jogo e parte curta - Trilha sonora original estar só disponível na versão deluxe é maldade. Bola fora da Capcom.. Quedas de FPS muito comuns na RPD, chegou a incomodar.

    Talvez seja meu melhor jogo da geração, estou pensando sobre isso, pois o trono é do Bloodborne.

    It's the perfect example you'd give when someone asks what a remake is.
    Nostalgia hides all defects in an old video game such as RE 2: rough controls, confusing camera...
    These defects feel way worse when you try to replay that game, which happened to me when I emulated RE 2, it felt horrible after all the improvements that the industry have made. But RE 2 Remake improves everything and    It's the perfect example you'd give when someone asks what a remake is.

    But RE 2 Remake improves everything and brings RE 2 from 1998 to nowadays without changing the classical feeling. Yeah, there are no cartridges, but you still have the hardcore mode, and to be honest, it felt a bit useless; you could finish the game with 10 cartridges inside the trunk.
    It's not a Masterpiece as many people say: it's not an original game, it's a remake, but it still is a must-have video game, it won't disappoint you.

    Bellisimo, dificultad muy alta, aun es normal, la historia no esta muy distante al jugar con Claire o Leon, muy pocas diferencias es el único pero (al apegarse a la historia original) pero un juego de supervivencia con pocos recursos, tenso al maximo entre zombies, lickers, cerberus y Mr. X, y sobretodo lo mejor con un DLC a este día cosmetico que no influye en el modo de juego

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The recent remake of Resident Evil 2 was my first real introduction into the horror genre of video games. I had dabbled previously with games like Fear and Outlast, but I'd never had the guts (or balls) to stick with them and play them to the end. But my girlfriend and I made a bet that we would see this game through, and I am so glad that we did!

    Please keep in mind that we played on Xbox One X, and that the review will be a reflection of our experiences playing on it.

    Starting off, the controls were well designed. The game felt and played beautifully, with only a small complaint about the knife system being somewhat awkward to use with a controller. The combat was well thought out, and interactions with in world items operated smoothly, with some minor hiccups about having to stand in the exact right place and at the exact right angle to grab or interact with some items.

    The world was incredibly thought out, with a huge amount of attention put into nailing every detail and nuance. I was immediately impressed with the games graphics, and the quality of the often challenging facial expressions. When we bought the game, I was initially worried that this would end up like a Halo CE remastered, where the graphics had been updated, but simply pasted over the old world, creating collision issues when you interact with it. That was not the case here, as the world immediately engulfed me, and I was so absorbed by it that I hardly noticed the time passing by.

    The music was also incredible, in the way that it was not overbearing in any way shape or form. The music was always perfectly placed and balanced for the environment it was aiding, so much so that I've recently taken to listening to the OST while I prepare scripts and documents at work! The one thing that as an editor and script writer I found the most captivating was the ambiance. I was blown away by the attention this game put into getting the sounds for this game perfect. It can be summed up in one of my own experiences, right after the introduction of a certain stalker. I had just broken free of his gaze and ran screaming through the dark towards the main hall. I burst through the door, breathing a sigh of relief as I started down the stairs towards the save point, but I paused. I thought I had heard something. Thud. Thud. Thud. Boots. Heavy boots, and they we're most certainly not mine. I backed up the stairs and readied my pistol, aiming towards the door I had, just moments before, burst through. The door opened, and my heart, which was already beating like mad, stopped. My safe space was not quite as safe as it used to be, and the remainder of the night was spent sneaking around the police station, listening intently for the familiar sound of heavy boots chasing after me.

    Replayability was another thing I was concerned with when I initially bought the game. Is $80 too much for a game that I will play once and then, most likely, put away? Upon starting the game, I was faced with choosing Leon or Claire as my character. I thought this simply meant that I would proceed through the main story with either of the two, but upon completing the game as Leon, I was happy to discover there was a New Game+ mechanic, allowing me to play the campaign as Claire, as well as playing through Claire's own unique campaign, and after a bit of digging, I also found that there were two more game modes to play after these initial three. Overall, I'm quite pleased with what the game has to offer, and for the first time, I can honestly say I'm looking forward to playing a horror game again.

    That said, the game is not without its flaws. My biggest disappointment is that, towards the end of the game, the focus shifts from keeping you on your toes and scaring the pants off you, to rushing you through the final minutes of the game and then trapping you in a congested sequence of boss fights. That might not seem like a flaw, but to me, the fear and excitement wore off right when I would have been feeling it the most. The game flips from horror to action in the course of a minute, and it feels out of place. Of course, while I say this, I also realize that the game should stay as close to the original as possible, and still enjoyed my experience.

    My overall opinion of the game? If you're wanting to get into playing horror games or just enjoy a good scare? This game is the way to go. Besides an obvious buttload of gore, the game doesn't really cross the line in terms of disturbing content. If you've played Left 4 Dead and found it fun, then Resident Evil 2 Remake is a perfect addition to your library. The tension you feel is amazing, and as you progress through the game that feeling never seems to fade. The game always has a way to make it interesting and turn the tables on you. From the introduction of Mr.X to the unease that greets you with every loud sound, the Resident Evil 2 Remake is a masterpiece, and will be a game that I play for quite some time to come!    … Expand

    Taken as a 2019 game I found it to be superb, thoroughly modern in feel and mechanics, and superb looking, with excellent use of lighting and sound to create tension. Well paced, fair, and always tense, the game balances enjoyment and stress very well, punctuating high stress moments with a short respite to enjoy the surroundings and consider the various low effort puzzles. The gun play is enjoyable and the damage models on the zombies is superb, the only slightly frustrating element would be the tyrant as although not quite the threat he appears to be he does sometimes cause frustration during puzzle sections of the game.

    Overall although I did not find the setting to be quite as captivating as that in the evil within series I thoroughly enjoyed both play campaigns of this game, talking of which although similarities obviously exist between campaign A and B (unlocked by completing A) they are unique enough to be well worth playing through, having finished A I was ready to jump straight back into B and I have a huge library of barely played steam games to attest to the fact that I bore easily.

    Highly recommended, Capcom are on a role, and it's nice to see one AAA publisher getting things right in the current climate.    … Expand

    This Resident Evil 2 doesn't replace or overwrite its source game in the way 2002's Resident Evil did, but that doesn't mean it's a bad remake. Rather, it's one of the best the medium has seen; amplifying the underlying horror and replayability at the core of the franchise. Capcom has outdone itself in an era where they're not hurting for successes. Not for the faint of heart, but a survival horror masterpiece nonetheless, Resident Evil 2 sets a standard for good horror, good action, and damn good game design.
