Resident Evil 2 Reviews
Resident Evil 2 has been reborn and retooled in all the best ways possible. This is the best video game remake that other modernized classics of its ilk should be judged by.
Resident Evil 2 Remake does more than make a great game look prettier for the modern crowd. The changes make the game a brand-new experience for those who have played the original, but the title keeps a sense of familiarity that prevents it from being totally unfamiliar.
It’s a love letter to survival horror, delivered direct like a bullet to the head.
Modern additions to the classic Resident Evil formula have made Resident Evil 2 an excellent remake although I am a little disappointed with how the 2nd Run campaigns are handled.
Far from flawless, the Resident Evil 2 remake was clearly made by fans for fans, improving every aspect with modern technology without losing the essence of the original. For fans of the 1998 classic, one word: indispensable.

If you haven’t played a modern survival horror masterpiece, you can’t go wrong with Resident Evil 2 on the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s on par with other platforms when docked, and it still delivers a solid experience on the go.
Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition brings a practically perfect remake to the Switch 2, and it looks gorgeous and runs beautifully there.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is not just an outstanding remake — it is one of the best survival horror games ever made, with Mr. X as a masterclass in enemy design and the police station as one of gaming's most perfectly crafted environments.

Resident Evil is a franchise that exemplifies horror, and Resident Evil 2 (2019) goes even beyond that. It is, quite simply, the finest horror game I have ever played.
Resident Evil 2 is the pinnacle of a franchise that’s on an upswing after a series of ups and downs. It’s the product of a Capcom that understands its fanbase and reverently respects its survival horror roots. Resident Evil 2 improved nearly everything from the original without screwing anything up in the process, and it will be remembered as another Resident Evil classic because of it. This is Resident Evil at its unprecedented best, and it’s awe-inspiring to witness.
RE2 is a great game, and one well worth playing. Even if you haven't played a Resident Evil game before, or if the difficulty had scared you off, that shouldn't stop you from playing this one. The game's easy mode is perfect for newcomers, and it's hardcore mode is great for long time series fans. It's a game that was made for everyone, and one you should give a chance if you haven't already. This is Capcom at their finest.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is a triumphant return to Raccoon City, combining modern gameplay with the original's charm. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, it's a must-play experience.

Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic get for Game Pass, and the new port on the Microsoft Store is excellent. It’s Play Anywhere, terrifying, and well worth checking out for anyone looking to clap some zombie cheeks.
Resident Evil 2 is a fantastic survival horror experience that has a brilliant world and puzzle design and even found new ways to scare me. There is a lot to experience in the game and will be fun to replay for years to come. This is how all video game remakes should be treated. It stays true to what made the original so great but wasn’t afraid to change aspects of the game to keep things fresh for veteran players and bring the game into the modern age and a real contender for one of the best games this year.
Resident Evil 2 offers a genuinely amazing survival horror experience that does its best to stay true to the original while modernizing it in the best ways possible.
Resident Evil 2 is the best nostalgia operation and the most apt relaunch of a franchise that was starting to stagnate before the experimental seventh chapter. Showing that it has understood its duality, made of the echo that speaks to the players of the 90s and of the more modern one with an action soul, Capcom gives new life to Raccoon City.

Resident evil is an icon in the gaming horror genre, with its remake doing so much to bring it back into the spotlight. This review however is for the 2nd and 3rd installments. I am going to be honest here, I never played RE1 to completion. I didn't play the remake either, I started with RE2 and man was I impressed. I wasn't into the horror survival games like most, but I always respected it. So how well do the remakes stack up, lets break it down.
Resident Evil 2 blends amazing graphics, great sound design and intimidating enemies to create a nerve wrecking horror experience. Capcom didn't forget the series' roots while modernizing as well: the hallmark of a great remake.

Resident Evil 2 fills the gap of single-player games, not very long, but incredibly addictive, relatively linear and devoid of all the ills of the current gaming industry. It is a perfectly polished remake, which is a model for other producers, how old classics should be restored, but it is also an excellent game, able to compete as a separate being with the largest titles.

Capcom has proven themselves to be extremely capable of not only capturing what made the original game so incredible – but how to add little touches to improve it. Resident Evil 2 is not a simple remake, it’s a love letter to the franchise and the fans who have stood by the series through thick and thin. Do not miss this.
