ShimmeyWill Resident Evil 2 Review
Jun 2, 2025
Much like RE:Remake, this title effectively captures the satisfaction of slowly and sequentially going through objectives and planning out your little adventures. Resource management in hardcore mode is also enjoyable. Visuals and atmosphere are gorgeous. Main issues, Mr X and the William are outrageously dull and annoying to deal with. None of the boss fights are tense, scary or challenging in a satisfying way. While these issues are fine during the first playthrough, they really hurt my motivation to finish my subsequent playthroughs. Lacking boss fights has been an issue with RE games and this title doesn't rectify this unfortunately. Otherwise, great game!
