This is a masterpiece, loved every bits of it, played Claire A and Leon B scenarios (loved the story) and they compliment each other, the horror, jumpscares, combat and survival are S+.

A great representation of what a remake should be and even motivated me to go play the original Resident Evil 2,

This game actually made me interested in Resident Evil. I saw that every game after 4 was just more action focused and deviated too much from their survival horror roots; then came this game and it seemed like a fresh straightforward restart for the franchise.

I wouldn't say this game is that scary, but it sure as hell knows how to keep you on your toes. Most of this game takes place in a police station infested by unkillable zombies and mutant monsters; even tho you have guns and tools at your disposal, most of what you are going to be doing is running away if you want to survive.

I also love the constant fear that no matter where I am, I always run the risk of bumping into a 7 foot tall monster that will stop at nothing to catch me and kill me. Mr X is not that much of a threat for most of the game, but man is it scary whenever I turn around a corner or open a door and it turns out he is right there, approaching me rapidly.

Probably the best survival horror game I've played....Granted, I haven't played that many......lol.

So Resident Evil 2 has been my 2nd RE game (how fitting! I know), and in restrospective, it feels like Capcom quite learned and improved their games after 7, which already was a great game.

It's amazing how they updated/remade this iconic classic with a new engine and made it accessible according to nowadays mechanics without losing the essence that the original game had.

I won't say much about the game, most likely because most of you guys already know what it is about, and how Survival Horror games work, cause it feels like I was the only person on whole ass planet earth that hadn't played the series yet.

That said, and keeping in mind I've only beaten Leon's route, cause, yes, game includes two routes, I've got to say that game has amazed me, it really feels scary and anxious all the time without relying that much on jumpscares or anything like that, the atmosphere is really well done, and the game feels way more arcade than 7, which is how i expected the game to be and I'm glad they chose this direction.

Story and narrative are interesting enough, some of the characters are charismatic, gunplay is fine (I guess?), puzzles are interesting and doable, some boss fights are messy yet fun, the graphic quality and artistic direction are both awesome, gameplay in general is pretty neat and i especially like how the animations (compared to 7) and sounds are done!

That said, you guys should check this game out! Its excellent, a classic, and truly cheap!

Special thanks to a friend that gifted me this game a while ago :') and to my cutie viewers that stayed with me the whole streams!

I haven't played many games that have put me on edge as much as this one did. After RE7, this is definitely the second scariest RE game. I love the vibe and story of the earlier RE games as in 0,1,3 and Code Veronica where its a grounded story about a bioweapon virus that goes to shit. The mystery/conspiracy and the survival horror element are very much present in this one. I haven't played the original but this remake was a great experience blind. It kind of made me dislike RE3 (which I played prior) a little because I didn't realize how similar the areas where to this, there's areas you visit in both like the police station, sewers and Umbrella HQ, although its not exactly the same, there are reused rooms. This along with the Nemesis which mimics Mr X in this game, Mr X is far more scarier though. Hearing his footsteps would traumatize me and I had moments where I slowly leave a room making sure my footsteps cant be heard then a quick turn around the corner and he was right there.

The dialogue is a bit cringe at times, and feels like it was written by Japanese who base their dialogue off cheesy 80s American action movies. It can be pretty cliche or there's lines that are completely out of place, like when Ada blows up a vent and then says "Like candy from a baby" it is such a weird time to say that and I don't even think makes sense in that context. The graphics and atmosphere are elite, and focuses more on psychological horror than jump scares even though there were some of those.

Something I didn't like was the A B story mechanic. I originally played as Leon, then when beating the game, I'm given the option to play Claire's side which was advertised to show what happens with her as you were playing with Leon, completing both A and B stories unlocks the true ending too. I decided to go ahead and do a Claire B story to find its the exact same game just with Claire. Puzzles are identical, the solution locations are slightly altered, enemy placement is also slightly changed as if that does anything, rooms and areas also the same. Bosses are also the same, so as Leon I would walk on a grate that collapses, fight a boss, kill it, then in Claire's story which happens around the same time, the grate is magically fixed, it breaks again when I walk on it and then I need to fight the same boss which is already dead. I ended up quitting the B story about 25% in because I found it to be a waste of time. Apparently in the original its very well done where different things actually happen, actions also impact the other playthrough so I might check that out in the future, kinda sucks they didn't do that here.

I've pretty much played every RE game now other than 6 which I'm not sure I will ever finish due to how bad it is, but I can say this game is def up there as one of the best and up there for horror games in general.
