es muy weno,muy weno
jogo delicioso, com dois protagonistas perfeitos, o jogo não termina após zerar, ele só começa de verdade, quando você aprende sobre o jogo, matar zumbis vira um passeio no parque
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!!! A must try i swear
Atmosphere — 9/10 Resident Evil 2 Remake creates an excellent sense of mystery and exploration. Searching for keys, solving puzzles, and gradually unlocking new areas makes the Raccoon City Police Department feel like one giant interconnected puzzle. While the atmosphere is fantastic, I still believe the original Resident Evil 2 created stronger suspense. Its fixed camera angles often concealed what was ahead, making every hallway and room feel unpredictable. Horror — 8.5/10 Rather than relying on frequent jump scares, the game builds fear through limited resources, oppressive environments, and the constant pressure of Mr. X. Although highly effective, I still found the original Resident Evil 2 slightly scarier, as its presentation created a stronger sense of uncertainty and surprise. Gameplay — 9/10 Resident Evil 2 Remake successfully modernizes the classic survival horror formula. Every bullet matters, inventory management remains meaningful, and exploration is consistently rewarding. Combat is intentionally simple yet impactful, emphasizing survival rather than action. Enemy Design — 9.5/10 Every enemy serves a purpose. Zombies are durable and dangerous, Lickers force players to move carefully, and Mr. X completely changes the pace of exploration. His relentless pursuit creates constant tension without feeling unfair. Level Design — 9.5/10 The interconnected design of the Raccoon City Police Department is outstanding. Unlocking shortcuts, discovering hidden paths, and revisiting familiar locations with newly acquired tools make exploration both satisfying and rewarding. Graphics & Presentation — 9.5/10 Powered by the RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 Remake remains visually impressive. Character models, lighting, environmental details, animations, and sound design all contribute to an immersive survival horror experience. Story — 8.5/10 The story is simple but effective. It doesn't aim to be emotionally complex, but it provides enough motivation to keep both Leon's and Claire's campaigns engaging from beginning to end. Faithfulness to the Original — 8/10 The remake successfully reimagines the 1998 classic while preserving its core identity. However, the simplified A/B scenarios and the removal of several memorable enemies and moments prevent it from completely surpassing the original. Replay Value — 9/10 With two playable protagonists, Second Run mode, higher difficulties, unlockable weapons, achievements, and speedrun potential, Resident Evil 2 Remake offers excellent replay value despite its relatively short campaign. Pros - One of the best video game remakes ever made. - Successfully modernizes a survival horror classic while preserving its identity. - Outstanding level design and rewarding exploration. - Meaningful resource management and puzzle-solving. - Memorable enemy encounters, especially Mr. X. - Excellent visuals and presentation powered by the RE Engine. - Strong replay value. Cons - The A/B scenarios are less distinct than in the original. - Several memorable enemies and moments from the 1998 version were omitted. - While more cinematic, the remake doesn't fully capture the same level of suspense and unpredictability as the original. Final Verdict — 9.3/10 Disclaimer: I last played the original Resident Evil 2 around 15 years ago. If my memory isn't playing tricks on me... maybe it's time for a replay:vv.
Solo me pase el modo historia leon a, estoy haciendo claire b. La historia de leon a me encanto, en especial la comisaria, que era muy divertida y podias hacer de todo mientras escapabas de tyrant o mr x. Luego de la comisaria la parte de las alcantarillas tambien es buena y es un poco mas dificil porque aparecen los bichos esos en el agua, y al final el laboratorio me gusto tambien bastante. En general el juego me sorprendio mucho ya que creia que era la sombra del 4 remake, pero se termino transformando en mi juego actual favorito. lo recomiendo mucho, y diria que es el mejor resident evil para comenzar en la franquicia
awesome game 20/10 the only thing i wish was in this one is crouching. when you think about it too whilst playing it feels like there are sort of plot holes when playing as B since the doors are all locked again and all of the stuff is reset which should be that way of course but story wise it felt a bit off because of this and when playing as leon you can never see sherry or claire around and as claire you can never see leon or ada around even though they are literally in tandem the entire game otherwise it was really fun even the puzzles
amazing game
