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!
