The magnum opus of the franchise in my opinion. More zombies, more ammo, more locations, and more bosses. It does everything right while going bigger than RE1. The design of the RPD is near flawless in enemy/item placement and navigation flow. The sewer and labs are less exciting but quick enough to get through that there's no time to get tired of them. The zapping mechanic is very light but still cool nonetheless, adding extra layers and variation for replayability.

I don't replay games often but the classic RE games are fantastic at encouraging it while keeping things fresh and fun. It scratches an itch in my brain going through this with the prior run's knowledge; being able to zone in on single-pixel corners for specific items and beat the game in two hours makes you feel like a human cheat code. Zero complaints other than maybe the puzzles being toddler-esque fit the square in the square hole kinda stuff.
