Resident Evil 2 was another fantastic Resident Evil game that I’m so glad I’ve beaten. The plot centers around the outbreak of the G virus beginning in Raccoon City, and Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield retreating to the police station, where they believe they will be safe but are dead wrong. Gameplay focuses around exploring a variety of areas and shooting zombies when they get in your way. The survival horror element of this game is very shown, with a lot of puzzles having to be solved around the city and the limited resources you have. The game did get kinda tiring after going through basically the exact same thing four times and to see everything the game had to offer, but the contrast between Leon’s and Claire’s stories had enough for me and I realize that the preferred way to play it is to play Leon or Claire A then B as to not get burnt out on the same story over and over. The game at first isn’t too stressful, but once you meet Mr. X you will want to stay away from him. He will follow you throughout most of the game and can not be killed, so you’re gonna have to think smart with your strategies to make sure you don’t get cornered by him. Overall, Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic survival horror game and I hope I can play even more like it. The Resident Evil games have been fantastic so far, and I can’t wait to experience the rest.
