Capcom modernising their Resident Evil catalogue was no small task, and they obviously had to make some tough decisions, but the end result was more than impressive. With such a revitalisation of the series (starting with 7 respectively) it made me fall in love all over again. Out with the old, in the new: third-person, photorealistic visuals, tweaks to the story, expanded maps, just a complete overhaul.

Resident Evil 2 was fantastic to play, the police department one of the best experiences—including all the backtracking. If the game was set solely in that station I would’ve loved it just the same. The added threat of Mr X stomping the corridors made for some stressful moments, the stalker enemy a mechanic Capcom clearly likes. Definitely a favourite of mine, I hope my love for the franchise never fizzles out.
