    The presentation side of the game is simply stunning and the horrifying atmosphere that’s created by both the visuals and sound design is out of this world.

I was thoroughly impressed with the level design because exploring each nook and cranny always felt rewarding and it definitely made the gameplay even more immersive.In terms of content there is a great deal for you to get to grips with and revisiting the game always feels fresh so multiple play throughs is a must. Combat feels fluid and responsive at all times and destroying zombies and other enemies always felt satisfying and in some ways unique. They’ve paid homage to the original game extremely well while also adding tweaks and changes which definitely make it feel like a new addition to the Resident Evil franchise. The story seems to have more depth this time around and this definitely made me become even more attached to the characters within it. Each enemy poses a different challenge this time around and they seem to be more clever which makes the gameplay more challenging and fulfilling. The original Resident Evil 2 is loved by so many and for me it’s definitely my favorite games in the series. The reimagination of Resident Evil 2 is something I’ve been following really closely over the past couple of years and everything I saw during that time just made me more and more excited because it looked incredible. The screenshots however didn’t do the game enough justice because in my opinion this game has some of the best visuals and sound design I’ve ever experienced and this is the process throughout. Everything about this reimagination then has been completed with a lot of love and effort and they’ve paid homage to the original extremely well whilst also making it fresh at the same time. The story feels fresh and the characters within it feel fresh and without a doubt the combat packs a punch in all areas. Of course it wouldn’t be Resident Evil if it didn’t have zombies and I’m not exaggerating when I say that the zombies actually frightened me, in fact each of the enemies frightened me. This however just made me want to carry on even more and this isn’t a problem either because in terms of content the game has more than enough to keep you satisfied. All in all then Resident Evil 2 is that good that I can say without a doubt that it will be in my top 5 games of the year already and you owe yourself to get this if you’re a fan of the Resident Evil series because I’m a massive fan of the franchise and this is definitely my favorite game the series has delivered so far. Can't wait to see what the reimagining of resident evil 0 which is next up on the list has to offer us. This game is a MUST HAVE for anyone playing in the past or new players alike. Amazingly done... Nice work Capcom!… Expand

    Once a masterpiece, always a masterpiece!!

    Capcom has really done it with this amazing masterpiece and have gained themselves the title of King of Remakes!! This game is absolutely what I could've asked for. It has got RE4's view that actually fits perfectly! This game is a must play for everybody!!!

    A masterpiece of a game. So much more than a remake. If you are on the fence at all jump off and go for it.

    I mean, just wow. When i finished it i instantly started a new game, which i finished as fast as the first one and few months later i finished it the third time. It's one of the few games ever that i've given 10/10. Perfect balance between action, horror and looting for me.

    This is how you do a remaster.

I don't understand the negative reviews, do people realize what it takes to make a game of this quality? Developers need to see more positive feedback for their hard work so we continue to get quality remasters and innovative new games in the future. Of course this game is better on Xbox, Sony is over-hyped under-powered trash, the only reason they get good exclusives is because they have a hand in every market (money=power). Support American consoles! (and Nintendo, because they are in fact an amazing Japanese company focused on what matters; good quality games.)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es todo lo que Resident Evil debería ser, el engine del juego funciona muy bien, el poder desmembrar a los zombies dependiendo donde les dispares es genial, oir los pasos de Mr X le agrega una tensión muy disfrutable, el juego se siente fluido, el survival horror se sigue sientiendo presente a pesar de tener el over shoulder aim, de hecho el poder apuntar sube de nivel a la experiencia, el poder tener la opción de jugar con la banda sonora clasica es algo que agradeceré siempre si no este juego tuviera otra puntuación, no puedo esperar por el rermake del 3… Expand

    Sin importar donde se juegue, sea PS4, Xbox One o PC el videojuego es sencillamente genial, un videojuego completamente nuevo, nutrido e inspirado por la entrega original de los 90; y si buscas apreciar la calidad grafica de este videjuego en una videoconsola, la versión de Xbox One X está a 4K y HDR nativos.

    That game... is a clear 10. It looks freaking amazing, the gameplay handles great... I mean... what a game. This is how you make a remaster/remake. The atmosphere is always haunting, the horror is feelable. It is my personal favorite game. I don't need more words, it is self explaining why I rate that one as one of the best if not the best that I've ever played.

    Jogo foda, campanha foda, desafiador, amei demais. Mas não recomendo para pessoas que não gostam de um desafio, porque vai quebrar um pouco a cabeça e o combate é desafiador

    Excelente título.... Mas que un remake es una reimaginacion que va mas aya de solo mejorar los gráficos y la jugabilidad, mantiene la esencia de los juegos viejos de resident evil de supervivencia pero dando un gran salto a la época actual.

    Resident Evil is one of, if not my favorite game series of all time. They knocked it out of the park with this REmake. I can’t wait to play RE3make and whatever new Resident Evil games Capcom is working on. Must play.

    Resident Evil 2 takes nearly all of the joy and gameplay mechanics of the original and cranks them to 11, providing a gory, dark, and refined version of a classic. And the graphics, of course, are phenomenal

    The first time I played this game was blind to a group of friends who were also blind and let me tell you that the game is probably easier to be afraid of when using cheat codes of The Forest on cheatland

    At first I met the idea of a Resident Evil 2 remake with a lot of scepticism. I was wrong. I played both, the original PlayStation and the Xbox One version with both characters, Leon and Claire. I loved the classic version but long last I liked the remake even more. Especially the camera settings and the graphics improve the game enormously.

    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.
