    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This "re-imagination" or "reboot/remake hybrid" of RE2, happens almost in an alternative universe of the franchise, so we could basically say that it is like a "Resident Evil 2: Shattered Memories", and that was not what the developers of CRAPCOM promised us in 2015, even in CRAPCOM's click bait video, it was the word REMAKE in the title of the 2015 version, which is not even present in the 2019 version for an obvious reason!!!
    -Now some examples-:
    *If a person still lives, but was infected, completely succumb to the infection of the t-Virus takes about 11 days canonically in Resident Evil, and depending on the metabolism, and health of the same, the time may minimally vary a few days, in the case "The Keeper", a character from RE1//REMAKE, was a little over the 11 days, but all this is already contradicted by what happens at the beginning of this game, where the controlled protagonist comes across someone who appears to have recently been bitten inside the store of a gas station, but shortly after, this one becomes a zombie like just because.
    *John Clemens(canonical character) is not even mentioned by Ada Wong or Annette Birkin, Ada also does not have the photo of them both as a couple in her inventory, and the relationship of them had already been alleged in RE1(original and REMAKE), including in one of the puzzles of those games.
    *Enemies like the Plant 43 or Ivy, that even appear in other games canonically connected to the original RE2, like the on original scenarios of RE: The Darkside Chronicles(by this I mean those who are officially canonical) with the Ivy+YX, which are an improved version of the Plants 43 from the RE2 original, which means that the original Plants 43 are also canonical.
    *The Mother Plant, which is the progenitor of the Plants 43 is also a canonical, since it appears in RE: Outbreak and being officially named in the same way too; There is only one giant Plant 43 in the re-imagination, which could be said that the same replaced the Mother Plant, but this would contradict what was established by both The Darkside Chronicles and Outbreak.
    *In the canonical scenarios of RE: The Umbrella Chronicles, Ada is confirmed to have been attacked, and knocked out by Mr. X, which is something that never happens in the re-imagination of RE2, either in the 1st Run or the 2nd Run of the same.    … Expand

    - combat is deeply broken, RE2 level of difficulty does not translate into this game, basically you can't do anything without being overwhelmed by the game difficulty. It's just stupid (I can easily beat original RE2 almost blindfolded...). They played their Dark Souls card here to dodge any criticism at the poor execution.

    - to reiterate, I had no issues at all with RE2 control scheme, it was perfect. This stupid over the shoulder view makes the game unplayable.

    - in original RE2 you could kill zombies, here you can't, no matter what. Which basically means you need to run like crazy through the whole level, skipping everything, reading nothing and using an online guide to solve puzzles, because you can't collect the various clues.

    - pixel-perfect precision is required in aiming. Which basically means it's impossible to kill anything, because you have to aim at the head, which is basically impossible with a console controller. I don't care what people say about this, in RE2 you could aim at the head, here you simply can't. Almost 20 years later and you can't aim at the head of an enemy, it's simply ridiculous.

    - graphics and audio are ok, the only thing really.

    badly executed game, they just thrown in a bunch of assets from RE7 and pushed the difficulty level to 11, so they can create artificial gameplay and people will play the "git gud" card to avoid criticism.

    Games like this should never even be allowed on the market, it's a scam, pure and simple.

    Stay away from this and invest your money in real games. Capcom is doing everything possible to kill this franchise, really.    … Expand

    The game has been so.. altered in comparison with the original, that obviously it can no longer be considered a REMAKE, but a Reboot & that was not promised in 2015 by CAPCOM; Basically.., it's just another RE4, with a RE2 skin & mixed with elements of games like DOOM!

    Despite being a $60 game, it lacks so much detail you would expect in full priced games. The gameplay is so outdated. I know it's a remake, but I still expect lots of detail in $60 games. You can't shoot through windows and the developers were too lazy to design the protagonists using the tools in real-time. The AI is so stupid and lazily designed, that the developers just made the zombies bullet sponges. The Tyrant is so annoying, and isn't even scary.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the campaigns, there is not a reason to touch this game again. There isn't even Raid Mode or Mercenaries to be found. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. It's pathetic that developers have gotten so lazy and greedy, they are starting to sell half of the game at full price. SP only and MP only games for $60 are a disgrace. I would have been fine with no multiplayer if the game was like $30 or less, but they were too greedy for that. I recommend you wait until this game is $5 or wait until it's free on PS Plus.    … Expand

    Why did they cut content (such as The Marshalling Yard area, some extra costumes, some weapons, and the Extreme Battle Mode), why the Scenario A doesn't connect with Scenario B? WHY THE OVER THE SHOYLDER CAMERA?! This is not a remake... is crap.

Maybe next time zombies will need to be bought separately? By the way, zombies are cheating, you need 6 - 12 HEADSHOTS (!) to kill, although, in all zombie movies, one is enough. Lickers are also cheating, teleporting from the far ends of the corridor and instantly strike. Mr. X not scary, but really annoyng, he is teleporting from different parts of the police station and under no circumstances can enter the save rooms, yeah, a tyrant ... It is still constantly dark everywhere, such as for escalating fear, but this is a rather cheap trick. Ada Wong have a fantastic device, which allow her see electronics through the walls and switch it. In an underground laboratory, there are huge columns in which luminous matter rotates, like some aliens technology, why it in Resident Evil? Plus stupid announcer messages in the same laboratory, why all this?

The hitbox detection is a complete disaster, zombies will ALWAYS grab you even if you are far from them, if you are within 1 meter range, they will attract you like a magnet and grab you. Leon looks so weak, awkwars and the whole game has nothing to do with the original, they forgot to play the original, no creepy music, no atmosphere, no fixed camera angles, no crows, no spiders, no badass Leon and Claire, westernized characters, cheesy voice acting plagued with unnecessary swearing, and plenty of bugs filling this broken game.

    Severely disappointing. Only RE 6 is worse in terms of main line games and remakes.
    Pros:
    Looks great. Sound is great Story is generally based on RE2, so no problems there Cons: enemy AI and Combat is god awful. Regular zombies have either invincibility frames or the hit detection is broken. When you shoot a zombie 8 times in the head, you expect that it would do something. Puzzles    Severely disappointing.

    Puzzles are a joke. The game is rated M, why are the puzzles designed for 2nd graders?
    Boss fights are atrocious. They have 'weak points' that you are supposed to target, but they put the weak points on the sides of the body, so the difference between beating a boss is often based on RNG of "which side he is walking to you with exposed". If he is walking with the weak point unexposed, too bad, run around until he decides to walk with the other side leading. If he decides to keep his arm in front of his weak point, too bad.
    As a massive RE fan, it pains me that I could not bear to finish the 4 campaigns of the main story because I actually hated playing the game, something I have only experienced with RE6 prior. I was even able to bear completing RE survivor and Dead Aim and I could not bear playing RE2 remake any more.

    Resident Evil 2 sucks for the same reason why many other EA major titles suck, people accept the difficulty adjustment but I will call it for what it is. It is a cheap and lazy materialistic mechanic which avoids the devs of the game to actually make AI smarter. Nobody buys a game to have inconsistency and boring gameplay (I'll get onto the boring aspect later) which makes one zombie tankResident Evil 2 sucks for the same reason why many other EA major titles suck, people accept the difficulty adjustment but I will call it for what it is. It is a cheap and lazy materialistic mechanic which avoids the devs of the game to actually make AI smarter. Nobody buys a game to have inconsistency and boring gameplay (I'll get onto the boring aspect later) which makes one zombie tank 15+ bullets to the head to suddenly one zombies head exploding with 1 pistol shot its beyond absurd and it ruins the flow of the gameplay.

    Whilst I dislike the DA (difficulty adjustment) we must also talk about the somewhat awful controls, they have looked to put in the over the shoulder style whilst this is something I wanted they haven't implemented it effectively. Whilst the boring fanatics of the game may argue the controls being manipulated to speed run a game is necessary how can I ignore that other reputable games removing bugs and unintended things that allow people to move quicker than intended whilst Capcom leaves their game a buggy mess? All the stupid bugs and inconsistency in the game will remain just with the lacklustre AI and reliance on DA because the devs are devoid of any creativity. We're on the precipitant of pushing the barriers of gaming creativity look no further than RDR2 and Cyberpunk 2077 what does RE2:Remake bring to the table? NOTHING!

    Moving towards gameplay which for me is the boring aspect, the entire gameplay is on the basis of doing puzzles, speed running the game... Who is this fun to? A small handful of people, why are you targeting a game with a budget of multi-millions of dollars towards a small crowd? The actual gameplay, boss fights are absolutely piss poor! Absolutely some of the worst boss battles I have ever, EVER seen! I mean, literally what were they even thinking? All the latest technology available and we are talking about a boss battle being no different to fighting a bog standard zombie? Shoot the big glowy eye, really that is it... Such a weak set piece.

    Let us also have a quick little talk about the devs being lazy with audio queues, seriously all of the different pistol types sounding the EXACT SAME!?! Are you kidding me? I will also break this into animations, when shooting the guns it doesn't really seem like you are actually firing a real gun when firing the handguns.

    I will give credit where credit is due whilst RE2:Remake massively fails on gameplay, being fun, consistency and giving a true B scenario it does get the atmosphere right. The game has good nods to the original with the original soundtrack it does somewhat stay true to the original. However I'm not ending it on a positive note because this game is absolutely not GOTY, for once I must say I think Capcom rushed a title its not normally something they would do but I am sure as anything that they have done so with this. It could have been much better but it appeased a very very small portion of their audience and ruined the games replay-ability.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Si l'on a fait le jeu original sur PS1, il n'y a rien à retenir de ce remake : graphismes décevants pour 2019 (particulièrement au niveau des reflets, dommage pour les égouts et le commissariat en granit qui représentent la quasi totalité de l'aventure), pants entiers du scénario coupés avec ce que ça comprend d'environnements, de mobs et de boss (maigrement compensé par un chapitre inédit très court et inintéressant tant au niveau du gameplay que du scénario alors que "Darkside chronicles" avait brièvement mais efficacement approfondi son histoire en suivant Aida s'échappant de Racoon City. Frustrant), musiques mythiques du jeu original retirées et vendues en dlc, le jeu ignore les excellentes nouveautés apportées par le remake du premier épisode, faux raccords dans les rares cinématiques ce qui rend l'histoire encore plus nanardesque que celle du jeu original, murs invisibles grossiers pour les ennemis comme dans les gens sdil y a 10 ans en arrière. Et je garde le pire pour la fin: alors que l'on attendait de ce remake de supprimer le principal défaut de l'original, à savoir les incohérences/redondances entre les quatres scénarios, ce remake les accentue encore plus alors qu'il n'avait plus que deux histoires à gérer. Donc merci bien le mur à faire exploser deux fois en quelques heures d'intervalle avec la même énigme à résoudre par exemple.

    Si vous n'avez jamais fait le jeu original alors foncez sur l'original. Si vous l'avez fait, restez avec vos souvenirs et partez sur les 2 épisodes "Revelations" qui sont bien meilleurs et modernes. Si vous êtes un voyageur temporel des années 90, craquez alors sur ce remake, il vous donnera un avant goût de ce que vous aurez dans 15 ans.    … Expand

You do the math. So, finding out that the Resi2 remake would be an over the shoulder affair ala RE4 I was already ready to throw my cash at this thing. Seeing the glowing reviews I just took the plunge. After all, even the worst RE game is worth getting at £15 on sale. Initially I was struck by the graphics and animations in the opening cut scene. Loved the tutorial gas station area but got eaten straight off the bat. Okay. Hard-core Mode really is that hard. I went for medium difficulty and started again. But, as I went through the early stages of the game I realised that the shooting is not the same at all. Because, the original game and many installments since have had one omnipresent joy guarenteed to make you feel ruddy bloody awesome: Aiming carefully at and blowing a reanimated corpses cranium into orbit in a shower of rouge confetti and gray matter. Glorious...

    But...not in this game. In this game you unleash all your ammo into a zombie head and it means as much as shooting the body in terms of stopping it in its tracks. And a critical headshot is randomised but of such low probability you don't want to waste ALL your ammo finding out that the RNG messed you over and now you have to reload your save and go again, hoping for a different result. And, I know it's just a video game, but it's just unlikely that if zombies did exist that you would have to pump 11 bullets into it to get the kill, kill, kill. Because guys, these zombies also don't know when they're dead. They keep having naps and then waking up for another midnight snack like a Terminator with a digestive tract. Another irritant I couldn't get past was the subweapon system. The combat knife is used, handily to check if a zombie is in fact dead. You arm it and you can slash away below you to finish the napping dead off before they eat your feet. But, if you ever get grabbed by a zombie and munched on a little you can avoid this by stabbing the zombie in the neck and pushing him or her off you, leaving you space and time to make haste out of there. But, you CAN'T, I repeat CAN'T get your knife back from the dead undead, no matter how dead they are. It's simply so immersion breaking I rolled my eyes every time I had to walk away from a combat knife I could, in a version of actual reality, just put my boot next to create a post and just pull of out the zombie. Oh, well. I'll just get another knife then, I guess. Which is what you have to do. That's right. Combat knife is a consumable. Now, the atmosphere I did genuinely find quite foreboding and tense, due to the fact that you are, as it turns out, really vulnerable. There are tonnes of zombies in this game and you always feel like you're one turn around the corner from being outnumbered and having to fledtfootedly negotiate a safe pathway through lurching limbs and wandering zombie mouths. It's really scary. But, another strange emersion-breaking feature makes this tension just feel needless: laboured movement and molasses-like speed of running. You can run. Yes. But, even though your chosen protagonist is surrounded by famished creepers baying for your blood, the most Leon or Claire can do to save themselves in terms of agility is limp forward as if they have just found out there's no toilet paper in the upstairs loo and now have to get to another toilet whilst being careful not to crap their own pants with diarrhea. Again, unrealistic. If I see a spider in the bath I run out of there like Usain Bolt. But our guys just move like Robert Deniro in the Irishman: look young enough but move about 89 years old. C'mon guys. This is RE. Give me something powerful to level up the odds here. So, the playstyle you are forced to adopt here is much like someone speedrunning Dark Souls. Fake one way, go the other, whilst occasionally sacking an enemy who poses as an impasse. It's just boring to me.

    So, RE4 continues to be the series highlight, I guess.    … Expand

    This game is short. Way too short and very slow. If you could run faster or non stop then you would be able to complete it in 5 hours. It doesn't last more than 10 or 11 hours if you are slow and exploring everything like me. Not worth the price. Get it cheap if you can and I would recommend Resident Evil 7 over this. It's much better.

    I think this game its not for 9/10 but 5/10 because it's an old game and we live at 2019 so they must have online like story coop with 2 players and mercenaries like resident evil 5,6. The graphics is nice with a interesting story but again they didn't afford a little time for those who want to play this games coop online with a friend for this reason I would not recommend it to someone.I think this game its not for 9/10 but 5/10 because it's an old game and we live at 2019 so they must have online like story coop with 2 players and mercenaries like resident evil 5,6.

Resident evil 7 and remastered were horrible!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Очень сложная игра, непонятно что делать вообще. Маленький инвентарь, очень неудобно. Главный персонаж даже прыгать не умеет. Лагает, я не для того комп за 30к покупал, чтобы у меня игры лагали, другие игры не так лагают. А на одном моменте,не скажу на каком, это-спойлер, у меня от лагов вылетает. В общем, очень не доволен игрой, хорошо хоть не покупал её, а то это деньги на ветер. Лучше бы сделали норм игру, без лагов, с большим инвентарём и чтоб персонаж прыгать мог или хотя бы мог с ноги дать как Айзек Кларк.… Expand

    I want to mention the characters look like preteens. That's the first thing I noticed. That alone ruins any believability in the characters having any depth or that the creators have any thought of trying to make an intelligent game. Next clue was a sign on a two way street that says "one way". Next the game says explore.

And it continues like that. Moving from one forced action to the next interspersed with ultra violent senseless imagery. Ancient Rome they enjoyed watching humans getting ripped apart. It was the national pastime. You know what happened to them? I'm appalled there's so many high reviews for this linear, overly violent, unintelligent, immoral, crude, abomination. It's nothing like the original. Graphics don't and never will make a game good contary to the claims here. And they're not even very good. It looks just like the other modern terrible RE released. Linear and vile. Play Alien Isolation.… Expand

    Un asco la verdad... Capcom no sabe ni hacer remakes. Deberían de aprender de Activision. Ellos si saben hacer remakes FIELES al material original como corresponde como el Crash N Sane Trilogy... Por que no podían sacar los 3 primeros Resident Evil y que sean fieles al original pero con un lavado de cara? Parecido a como hicieron con el remake de Gamecube!!! Eso hubiera estado interesante! Este remake se siente como un downgrade abismal del archi-conocido Resident Evil 4!!! Creo que ni el Tofu lo va a salvar...    … Expand

    resident evil 2 is one of those games you want to like because everyone of your friends love it. but you really cant. the way i see it, the game has 95 percent puzzles, 4 percent action and maybe 1 percent horror. if you love puzzles, this game is great. if you dont, its not for you. the only reason i dont give this game 0/10 is because the story, the few cutscenes in between are good andresident evil 2 is one of those games you want to like because everyone of your friends love it. but you really cant. the way i see it, the game has 95 percent puzzles, 4 percent action and maybe 1 percent horror. if you love puzzles, this game is great. if you dont, its not for you. the only reason i dont give this game 0/10 is because the story, the few cutscenes in between are good and the graphics are great.

    Screen is too dark and hard to see. No mini-map.
    Ammo is low and zombies are hard.
    Unlike the original, the appearance of tyrants is depressing.

    The atmosphere of horror is overwhelming and proves that in 2019 there is a place for a Resident-like story in which the modern visuals heighten and not lessen the fear. It’s the best Resident Evil ever. [03/2019, p.40]

    Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful recreation of a believed original that, not only recaptures the glory of that game, but also improves upon it from a visual and gameplay standpoint. All in all, don’t miss out on this one.
