A pretty fantastic remake with some parts i don't really love.

Pros:
captures the original energy of the 90s game but with all new fancy graphix.
fun but different gameplay that involves shooting zombie legs for hours, much more fun than this sounds
Inventory management, route management, again more fun than it sounds
The dumb characters are still as dumb as in the original but just better acted now, a big thing missing from modern resident evil games. The player characters in recent games are basically pieces of toast.
I like all the small choices you get to make in the moment. Like waiting for the aim to focus for more damage or what part to aim for.

Cons:
Mr.X got tiring after a few minutes and i just generally hated him so removed him with a mod. I wish that might have made a way to knock him down for a set amount of time, maybe give you a cool thing for killing him, basically i just wanted nemesis from the third game.
Most "puzzles" were really just finding a piece of paper with the solution, which was a bit disappointing

8/10

Resident Evil 2 is an extraordinarily well presented example of claustrophobic horror that's built to emulate the feeling of dread and despair as you walk through the linear halls and corridors of the R.P.D.

There wasn't a single moment where I wasn't intrigued, exhilarated, or wonderous to the environment and gameplay that I was experiencing.

It feels like such a genuinely rare commodity to see Capcom dishing out such fabulous work that many developers struggle to compute with most consumers.

This game feels very proud of itself, and its not afraid to show it. Because the team at Capcom makes games with heart and soul.

The Original Soundtrack pairs beautifully with it as well, making it feel like a real 90s horror B-Roll film.

The Save Room theme will forever live in my head, each time hearing it was like a saving grace, a blanket over my body. Because for just a second, I could stop worrying about a zombie taking a bite of my ass.

(seriously please give this game a try)

I cannot stress enough on how amazed I was with this Remake.

A masterclass in how to update a classic game for modern audiences. With stunning graphics, tense gameplay, and a haunting soundtrack, this game is a must-play for fans of the series.

The ONLY downside I have with this remake are the cut content on what the original had. But I guess the additional content it has compensates it.

Amazing horror game with a real sense of stakes, with two great protagonists and refined gameplay. I have so much praise for the core concept behind the Resident Evil series as a newcomer, and this game blew my freaking mind away with how polished the experience feels. The environments and zombies look very real, and the way enemies respond to gunshots is pretty dynamic! The addition of Mr. X (or the Tyrant) into the fray JUST when you get comfortable flips the table on its head, and you can’t afford to waste time getting acquainted with your new surroundings anymore. The story being split in half for both Leon and Claire make playing through the game back-to-back worth it, for getting special insight into how the events of the game truly unfold. Legendary game experience, in my humble opinion.

Tudo que o remake adiciona é bom, mas eu ainda tenho a impressão que o jogo original é maior.

O jogo te deixa tenso o tempo todo.

Dito isso, só queria que tivesse um "new game +" para começar o jogo com todas as melhorias que você se matou para conseguir, tipo os espaços de inventario.

The thing that makes me always come back to the Resident Evil series, aside from the masterful level design and crazy plot lines, is that, fundamentally, I am a massive coward. I’m scared of pretty much everything in life. I love the horror genre because it makes me feel connected to my vulnerabilities, and stories like Silent Hill, Rule of Rose, Pathologic, Hello Charlotte, Shining, Night of the Living Dead, Possession, Kwaidan, Annihilation, etc somehow give me comfort and reason to explore myself about it. Even as an adult, I always struggle at the beginning of horror games because, when done good, it seems like nothing can be done, there is no hope, nothing to achieve, the world is just cruel and difficult to navigate and the next room will unavoidably kill me.

And then there’s Resident Evil. At the beginning, it is the bloody worst, always short on ammo, always killed by swarm of zombies, or lycans, or monsters, and encouraging as much as possible to run away from every danger. But also, it will always come the one moment where you are tested, with no escape or safe place to run back to, asked to prove if you really want to go on or just give up. Gun in hand and gathered your wits, the first boss crumbling to dust, you realize okay, I can actually do this.

Resident Evil is empowering just like that. It is not deep, nor cohesive, and very, very silly, lovingly so, but most of all it is a series of games about the moment you realize that it is possible to go on, you do have the strength, the mental fortitude to resist, you are getting out of here alive and the sun is going to rise over this brutal night. Nothing can ever defeat the human will to live.

It’s the best feeling ever.
