Just finished playing the main game, Leon for the 1st run, Claire for the 2nd. I enjoyed this a lot overall. For a game that's what... seven or more years old now, this still looks really good. When I started, I found myself surprised how I took my time at the intro gas station just taking in all the little details. The gameplay and movement feel fantastic. The atmosphere and sound design are great as well. The story is... well, Resident Evil. It can be a mix between serious scenes and borderline horror B movie goofiness, which I personally really enjoy. There are a lot of extra game play modes, but I only tried them a little bit so don't feel like I can fairly review them. From what little I played, they are much harder than the main story modes.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is what I consider the perfect Resident Evil game. From its god-tier level design to its fun and engaging puzzles, everything feels incredible. This is easily one of the greatest video game remakes ever made, alongside Final Fantasy VII Remake, and it shows what can happen when developers truly respect and understand the source material. Unlike Resident Evil 3, which lost much of the essence of the original game, Resident Evil 2 Remake preserves everything that made the classic special while improving it in almost every way. In my opinion, it's even better than the original. The atmosphere, exploration, resource management, and constant tension come together to create one of the best survival horror experiences ever made. I've played through this game countless times while working toward 100% achievements, yet I never got bored for a single moment. Every playthrough remained just as enjoyable as the last, which speaks volumes about the game's incredible replay value and overall quality. It's easily one of my all-time favorite games and, for me, a 10/10 masterpiece.
Hiçbir Resident Evil oyununda bunun kadar korkmadım. Ne RE7 ne RE8 ne de diğerleri. Tabi bunun sebebi Mr. X. O gelecek diye karakolda koşmuyorum, zombilere sıkmamaya çalışıyorum ama yine de geliyor. Koşarak kaçıyorum saklanıyorum sonra dışarı çıkıyorum yine geliyor. Bir odadan bir şey alayım puzzle çözeyim diyorum yine geliyor. Nolur gelme artık. Ne olursan ol gelme. Güm güm ayak seslerini duymak bile tedirgin ediyor. Belki de ben çok korkağım. Neyse her şekilde güzel bir RE oyunu alın oynayın.
This game set the gold standard of how a modern remake should be.

嗯嗯 里昂叔叔我爱你
для начала очень хорошо. надо будет пройти игру, но моя детская травма даст о себе знать когда будет очень страшно и я сломаю монитор. 10/10
For everyone who came for Leon. Certified action-horror classic. Still looks excellent, brutal, stylish, iconic
Completed both the endings and I will say this is one of the best horror games of all time. In the start I was literally scared of the zombies and dark. There are some jumpscares too. But as you proceed and become habitual with the game, it becomes less scary. But still I will say it has a good amount of horror which actually scares you. The best part of the game is that it challenges you. I completed the game with scarcity of both ammo and health. I fought bosses without ammo and in low health which is sometimes annoying but it makes you play better with time and makes you to save ammos and health for the next time. Also in my first run I upgraded guns very little which caused me trouble in the game but in 2nd run I upgraded guns properly so it felt good and satisfying. I loved this game very much. This is my first RE game and it has been an exceptional game for me. It holds a special place in my heart. And at last ADA WONG you stole my heart pls return it to me. 10/10 definitely play it.
the black people in this game die and it made me sad and i love black people
