A remake of Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 2 is a remake of 1998's Resident Evil 2. The game was not developed with the intent of improving the original, but rather a reimagining of the original story with redesigned maps, characters and story elements. Gameplay mechanics are more similar to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard though with the use of an over-the-shoulder camera.

A triumphant return to form in survival horror gameplay. Excellent tension and atmosphere, great resource-stretching gameplay, awesome level design. Has the twin tensions of your first playthrough(s) being desperation in dreading what waits across the corner and whether you will have the resources to deal with it, with subsequent playthroughs (speedruns) having the tension of not knowing whether you'll be fast enough to make that S+ rank. Wonderful time. Shame they couldn't put in the zapping system and more differences between the campaigns, but nothing is perfect (it gets 5 stars anyway)
