I thought about challenging myself and leaving my comfort zone by playing a horror game. I have never really played one, and I have always stayed far away from horror stuff. I get scared very easily, and I don’t like the dark. So it started with me picking up the demo of the Resident Evil 2 remake, and I played for 30 minutes before backing out when I reached the West Office. I thought I couldn't do this. The next …

Resident Evil 2 is a perfect remake that shows how horror games should be remade. The atmosphere of Raccoon City is truly flawless. Every corridor is narrow, every sound is unsettling, and you constantly play with the feeling of "what's going to happen next?". The game takes the classic zombie theme to new heights with modern graphics and excellent sound design. The separate stories of Leon and Claire significantly …

This was my first ever Resident Evil. Beat both Leon n Claire’s runs, n I feel I could navigate the RPD blindfolded at this point. The map design’s straight up chef’s kiss, puzzles hit just the right difficulty n all the clues tie together super smoothly. Only thing is every zombie’s a total damage sponge, so taking them down feels pretty weak early on. Horror-wise, most of the tension comes from the constant …

So fun game, tense atmosphere, and visuals look incredible! Mr. X Scary bastard!

One of the best survival horror remakes ever made. Great atmosphere, amazing graphics, and the RPD exploration is unforgettable. Mr. X makes the game even more intense. Highly recommended.

95% of the 355 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Resident Evil 2. The complaint that keeps coming up: zombies are damage sponges early on. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Resident Evil 2 received "universal acclaim" for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, and "generally favorable reviews" for the Windows version from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic. OpenCritic reports that 97% of 205 critic reviews recommend the game, with critics praising its scariness, gameplay, and faithfulness to the original. The consensus on the website states: "Resident Evil 2 is a gold-standard for how to do a remake, combining the original's nostalgia with modernized and fresh gameplay to bring an awesome experience for players old and new. This may be the best Resident Evil game ever released." Ben Reeves of Game Informer wrote that "Resident Evil 2 not only…

The way he just roams around, actively listening for you to run or fire your gun. Would love to see this kind of behaviour used again.

I rented a Playstation from my small town video game store and was hooked on survival horror for life.

But one day I randomly thought of trying this game, just to see if I could deal with the horror and maybe face my fears somehow.

It actually feels satisfying to solve them instead…

Relive both stories with glorious modern features. It's a fun game from start to finish with a neat little story to tell. The back and forth can get a little tedious but sort of adds a bit of a metroidvania feel to it when looking for bonus treasures and useful upgrades. That being said there is a bit of cut and reworked content from the original.…

Leon’s story is more about him trying to survive his first day as a police officer by finding a way out of the Raccoon Police Department and helping Ada secure a sample of the G-Virus. I liked his campaign because his scenes with Ada made the story more fun to follow, and getting to play as her for a bit was a nice change. Claire’s side feels more emotional. Her story starts to feel more…
