From top to bottom, Resident Evil 2 is a stellar achievement from a team that obviously loved the source material and went to great lengths to update and enhance it without losing that original magic.
Resident Evil 2 drags an all-time classic horror game screaming into the new generation, and will terrify both fans and newcomers alike
Resident Evil 2 is more than a remake of a classic game, it's one of the most accomplished horror titles you'll play for a long time
Finally, Capcom has put a lot of game into Resident Evil 2. It has four remixed campaigns — two each for the playable characters Leon and Claire. But Capcom has also revealed plans to add even more. That includes a mode that randomizes where items are as well as new player characters.
That’s where Resident Evil succeeds. Not in the drivel spouted from its character’s mouths, but in the bullets spewed from their guns. Or better yet – the clicking of empty chambers, or the spine-chilling scratches of scrabbling overhead. I may hate lickers, but I’m also a little bit in love.
One of the best survival horror adventures ever released gets the royal remake treatment in 2019's first must-play game
Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror masterpiece, and sets an unbelievably high standard for video game remakes. The unrivaled realism, terror, and difficulty creates a tremendous, immersive experience that, honestly, makes other horror games look bad. I can see this game living on forever in speedruns, let's plays, and even discussions for the greatest horror games ever made.
Resident Evil 2 successfully updates the survival-horror classic for modern consoles, delivering one of the scariest games of the entire generation in the process.
Capcom's survival horror classic returns with improved visuals, new controls and a whole host of monstrous surprises
Capcom has shown the world exactly how classic games should be remade, and its name is Resident Evil 2.
Labelling this new version of Capcom's survival-horror classic a 'remake' somehow feels like an curious understatement.
Resident Evil 2 is one of the best remakes we've ever seen: it's a bit different from the classical survival horror released in 1998, while still remaining true to the original game.

Resident Evil 2 is a remake that went above and beyond the call of duty.
Resident Evil 2 might be one of the most accomplished remakes of the generation.
Resident Evil 2 is a polished, respectful remake of a survival horror classic that probably would have benefitted from a slightly more daring approach. Hints of a braver revamp are sprinkled throughout, but it doesn't take the risks necessary to join the canon of truly great video game remakes. Make no mistake though, if you loved the original Resident Evil 2, you'll likely love the remake, and new players who can tolerate a few old-school quirks ought to have gruesome good time as well.
Resident Evil 2 is a remake done right: a labour of love built primarily for the fans, welcoming new players but only so long as they're willing to meet it in the middle
Capcom has achieved the near-impossible with the remake of Resident Evil 2. A remarkable labour of design, iteration, faithfulness, and adaptation; a masterclass in knowing what to change, how to change it, and what to build upon, Resident Evil 2 in 2018 emerges from the shadow of its namesake with consummate ease.
