Going into Resistance 2, I had high expectations that it would surpass its predecessor, but while it may not have exceeded my expectations, it certainly did not disappoint. The gameplay has been noticeably enhanced with a more modern feel, and the addition of health regeneration is a welcomed improvement. However, I did notice a shift in the tone of the game, with less emphasis on horror and tension and more focus on waves of enemies. That being said, the different locales are visually stunning and the game is a joy to play. While I do miss the weapon wheel from the previous game, which allowed for more creative solutions to combat, Resistance 2 is still an exceptional first-person shooter. Overall, while it may feel a bit generic at times, Resistance 2 is a great-looking and highly enjoyable game.
