resident evil 2 remake may be one of the best remakes of all time i really can get behind this statement to be honest like it did nothing out of place and remade the entirety of the game from scratch and really refined the entire experience to heaven and back (apart from like the B route paths which were butchered a bit but thats fine i mean it didnt really damage the experience for me probably die hard fans were tearing their hair but i just marathoned everything resident evil this month or so so like i cant attest for that

playing resident evil 3 really showed me how interesting could still be playing the original ones and i can really understand the appeal that these games have to this day and had when they first came out i mean they were definitely monumental for their time

I played a little resident evil 1 the original after this one and its incredible how they managed to improve a lot of stuff like travelling through the different areas or being able to dodge the zombies or something simpler like how open the different places feel in this one it's. wow

whatever so like the game centers around fan favourites leon and claire and this time i also played leons route yknow i wanted to actually play as claire this time but the horny took my hand and chose leon (im not actually a fan of original leon OR remake leon hes ugly as shit this is just me thinking about resident evil 4 leon)

leon got fucked on his first day on the racoon police department job and claire is looking for his brother chris bla bla bla i already talked about this in the remakes review

as I played resident evil 3 I definitely was not expecting to enjoy these original experiences these much and it was a case for this one too this is fucking incredible

as always pre rendered backgrounds are fucking gorgeous maybe a little less than
the ones of resident evil 3 those are just absolutely jaw dropping but these ones are also pretty competent to make the rpd come to life and making it one of the most iconic places in the entire resident evil franchise

the models are also a downgrade from resident evil 3 (im talking like resident evil 3 came first but its just because I played that came before this one ok im sorry don't take me seriously) limbs are a bit janky but that's to be expected but yknow honestly they're pretty cool and all

in general the storylines and the gameplay are also standard resident evil you got a big virus outbreak and an infodump on the virus itself in the last 20 minutes then some explosions and then a final boss and then some more explosions the end BUT as you know this game got 2 campaigns and if you play as leon you get some insight on femme fatale ada and if you choose claire you can get to know the daughter of the main scientist behind the g virus so ideally you should play both campaigns one after the other since you will get some interesting implications in the different campaigns

umh

yknow what I was not expecting the fact that this game absolutely nailed the soundtrack what the actual fuck there's some BANGERS during the later part of the game that I was NOT expecting like I was dumb founded tbh and in general the sound design is fucking amazing I thought it was a prerogative of the remake because new technologies and such but this game got nothing to envy AND I might say that the ost on this one was definitely more iconic than the remake if that was even possible

all in all I think the argument of "you should still play the original even if you remake something" holds up pretty well and yeah I do beg you to play this game

also yeah this time too I finished the game with loads of ammo whatever it was expected
