Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better…
No wonder Romero loved it and even directed one of its TV ads…
Resident Evil 2 lives rent free in my childhood nightmares, for it was the very first RE game I ever played.
The creepy CG opening cutscenes of both Leon and Claire gave me nightmares for MONTHS, but somehow only pushed me to play the game even further.
The opening streets of Raccoon City give off a vibe, completely unmatched to this day, even with the Remakes, and the following claustrophobic sections in the police station, sewers, and labs, only further increase the tension in a game that is so excellently paced and thought out.
This is the game that opened my 7 or 8 year old mind (give or take) into further exploring the Survival Horror genre, and created in me a long lasting impact that stands strong to this very day at my almost 30 years of age.
What a masterpiece of a game, and, a turning point in the gaming industry that allowed the games of today to be what they are.
Impeccable.
