Goodness, that was leaps and bound worse than Survivor. That game didn't make a whole lot of sense from, well, any angle, but at least it had charm. It was garbage, but it was garbage desperately trying to be a Resident Evil game, attempting to carve out its own place in the canon. This gave it an uncanny quality that was quite captivating. Survivor 2 jettisons all that Resident Evil identity in the gameplay and is instead just a dreadful 30-minute-long arcade shooter. We're getting the Code Veronica story again here, a game I already found kinda charmless, this time abridged to the point of incoherence. Survivor 2 inexplicably lacks voice acting, so there isn't even anything to laugh at. Just an irredeemable mess.

I unironically love Survivor but Survivor 2 is easily the worst RE game ever made, and it has some stiff competition lmfao
It's a fucking travesty. Survivor's good traits were just jettisoned for this sequel. I reckon being an arcade game first is partly responsibly for the direction this one took, lacking as it is in any RE identity, but still, it's disappointing. Shoulda stayed in the arcade.
