The atmosphere of horror is overwhelming and proves that in 2019 there is a place for a Resident-like story in which the modern visuals heighten and not lessen the fear. It’s the best Resident Evil ever. [03/2019, p.40]

Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful recreation of a believed original that, not only recaptures the glory of that game, but also improves upon it from a visual and gameplay standpoint. All in all, don’t miss out on this one.

不仅丧尸打不死，全程还弹药格子紧张，真的是恐怖氛围拉满。尤其暴君出现后那个音乐简直能把人吓出心脏病。所以后面用了风灵月影心法通的关，不得不说王阿姨yyds。

This game is not just my favorite game of all time, it's a part of my life. I've played countless games over the years, but nothing has ever made me feel the same emotions, excitement, and attachment that this game gave me. The characters, story, atmosphere, soundtrack, and gameplay are simply unforgettable. Every time I replay it, I discover something new and fall in love with it all over again. This game will always have a special place in my heart, no matter how many years pass.

Resident Evil 2 Remake is everything a remake should aspire to be. It captures the feel of the original almost perfectly while updating and improving almost everything. It has its flaws, but nothing detracts from the excellent experience. It's fun, spooky, and everything Resident Evil 2 was — but even better. Fans of the franchise and newcomers should enjoy themselves greatly. If you like killing zombies, you owe it to yourself to try out RE2 Remake.

Resident Evil 2 plays its cards very well, and offers its benefits to a level of excellence that make this remake a title that's indispensable.

Resident Evil 2’s remake highlights just how great Capcom’s first sequel in the Resident Evil series ways, but does it in a way that makes it the most compelling entry in the series thus far. It’s smart changes merge with the classic design expertly, while its atmosphere is rich thanks to gorgeous lighting and incredible sound design. It’s a reminder of the past, but this remake would be a fine direction for the future of Resident Evil.

Aside from the disappointing 2nd Run scenarios, I feel confident in saying that this is the best Resident Evil game ever released. It brings back everything that fans loved from the PS1 classic, and presents it in a fresh, modern way that's both exciting and nostalgic in a modern age.

In spite of its progression carrying the weight of the years and its strongly cliche scenario, Resident Evil 2 remains an exciting game in its mode of thought, its inventiveness and its execution.

By trying to please so many different players the game will probably not satisfy anyone completely. Resident Evil veterans will feel like it is a bit too simple and unfaithful. New players will wonder about the 90s logic in spending so much time looking for keys so you can politely unlock doors when your backpack is loaded with rocket launchers and oversized shotguns which could just as easily have blown them off their hinges.

Excellent game, with updated graphics and compelling gameplay. Puzzles remain the best from classic RE. The atmosphere and horror is amazing, along with Thrants presence being amplified compared to classic game. However i wished the mechanic where Leon and Claire story is affected by who the player picked first.

Um baita jogo. A ambientação é muito bem feita e a história se destaca bastante em relação aos primeiros jogos. A gameplay não é das melhores, mas também não chega a atrapalhar. No geral, é um jogo muito sólido.

Absolute peak survival horror. Perfectly balanced on resources that keeps you right in the limit of being alive and having what you need to keep going. But puzzles are a big part of this game, more than action based games in the franchise. And this is why I’m not ever playing one of these again. Confusing maps, a lot of backtracking trying to find the right path. It’s hard not having to google or watch videos to advance. Had fun but also a lot of frustration.

I absolutely hate this game. For me, it’s the worst in the RE series. Awful story, boring gameplay, and the dumbest puzzles ever. Feels like the devs had a contest for who could make the most ridiculous puzzles. It’s not even hard. I finished it first run in 7 hours and 18 minutes.
SummaryIn Resident Evil 2, the classic action, tense exploration, and puzzle solving gameplay that defined the Resident Evil series returns. Players join rookie police officer Leon Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield, who are thrust together by a disastrous outbreak in Raccoon City that transformed its population into deadly zombies.
