Resident Evil 2 Reviews
After a years of hit-and-miss with this popular franchise, RE7 and RE2 Remake are a reminder of the greatness behind Capcom. With some drastic mechanic changes RE2 is not only a brilliant game but with Shadow of the Colossus is one of the greatest remakes of all time.

Without question, Capcom has shown the gaming world how to do a remake correctly in 2019. Resident Evil 2 is a much more refined experience than it was 21 years ago, and seeing it run on modern hardware is a visual treat to the eyes.
This version of Resident Evil 2 does what every remake should do; it retains what made the original great while rethinking the aspects that didn’t age as well. The remake gives players a chance to explore an absolute classic that definitely hasn’t aged all that well, and it’s a great nostalgia trip for fans of the series.
Resident Evil 2 will be the point of reference for the remakes in the years to come. Not only that, it will be one of the models to follow for the horror of the future, because this is not a simple makeover, it is a completely new game that improves the experience of the original work throughout. Finding weak points is really difficult: a story told to the great thanks to both aesthetic and content improvements, breathtaking graphics and gameplay that is the sum of classic horror combined with modernity that was asked for a remake.

Resident Evil 2 Remake presents exactly what has been lost in this franchise and now Capcom made the "going back to the roots" a reality. Thanks to its deeper story and characterization, innovation in zombie destructibility, intense and scary atmosphere and flawless gameplay, Resident Evil 2 goes beyond a remake and becomes a game that can exist and live alongside the classic version for years

Capcom has laid the foundations for what a good remake should be. Personally, I'm not surprised, they already did it with Resident Evil 1 in the Gamecube era and as with that previous work, the new REsident Evil team has taken some licenses in the lore of the game to better unite it. However, it still seems to me that there have been wasted opportunities to give consistency to the original, such as repeating puzzles, in Code Veronica the puzzles that one completed did not impede the progress of the other.

The remake of Resident Evil 2 is the ultimate survival horror experience that takes Mikami’s successful formula and shapes it to greatness. Resident Evil 2 remake is so good that I personally hope that Capcom focuses more on remakes instead of making new RE titles.

Fear and terror at every turn, Resident Evil 2 is the best way to enjoy survival horror at its peak, made by developers who know how to make it work. If this is the direction the series is heading in, consider us faithful servants to the undead hordes.
Looking for a great Resident Evil game or just a scary masterpiece? In that case Resident Evil 2 is all you need.

There’s one thing that permeates throughout my multiple playthroughs of Resident Evil 2 from the start right up until this very moment, and that’s how much love and care has been poured into this game. There’s an undeniable fervour present across Capcom’s recent titles that have come to an all-new climax with RE2. It single-handedly captures the essence of survival horror and what makes it great in a seemingly effortless fashion. The game is packed with content and modes that are all worth experiencing in their fullest, and Capcom should be commended for outdoing themselves yet again. RE2 is without a doubt the best remake I’ve ever had the privilege of playing, and I’m teeming with excitement now more than ever to see what’s in store next for the series that started it all.
Capcom has undoubtedly succeeded in the arduous task of renewing one of the most beloved chapters of its brand, so much so as to give hope in the same reconstruction work for the other episodes: on the other hand, with such a remake, it is easy to win the approval of the general public, whether they are long-time fans or people who try Resident Evil 2 for the first time.

Capcom is back on track after the good vibes with Resident Evil 7. Technically excellent and playable very well except for some tweaks that could improve the gaming experience. I hope that on our next stop in Raccoon City we can help a former STARS member escape the city while being harassed by another big guy. But that's another story...

Resident Evil 2 is equal parts terrifying, satisfying and interesting.
An almost perfect trip to Raccoon City shows what remakes have to look like. Now please take a look at the remake of the third part!

I can think of Resident Evil 2 Remake as a completely different game from the original game, which is really how the game offers a new camera perspective and different from the original with different audio representation and performance and different monsters, but in the same original story template, I enjoyed very much with this game that brought me back to the series and made me intend to experience the other parts I had missed in the past years and made me look back on Capcom's return to the right path with its latest games.
