Such a good game. I remember when this game was first released in 2019, I had it pirated and it would run so bad on my old PC. 40 FPS on low/medium. It looked so bad, but I had so much fun playing it. Finished it 3 times actually back then, and promised myself the next one I'll play it, it will be on a better PC. Few years later, I bought it on Steam, and actually played it on Max settings at 100 FPS haha. And damn, it is as fun as it first was. One of my favourite Horror games of all time. Though the game is quite old, it still looks so good. The rain, the textures, the characters, the reflections, the gore, it is an amazing game. So far my favourite Resident Evil game. Maybe Resident Evil 4 Remake will change that. And not gonna lie, as I grew older, horror games and movies stopped getting a reaction out of me. This damn game, and its subtle jumpscares which are so damn predictible, got me so many times. I still remember this one time, recently, since I forgot most of the game. There was a zombie sitting on the bench in the women's bathroom. I was so expecting him to attack me, but he simply collpased as I got nearer. I literally stood still for like one minute trying to process what the Hell happend. I was so expecting him to jump me, but he didn't. And then there is MR X. He is not scary. But I remember playing as Claire, I was sitting in the Clock Tower room, and it was so quiet, the only thing you could hear was MR X's foot steps. Actually terrifying. lol Overally, great game. Would recommended it to anyone who loves Zombie games, survival Horror, or just third person games. Looks great, runs great, only had a bug the entire game, and that was because I was playing on DX11. It's cheap too. And you'll get lots of content out of it, so I think it's worth buying even in 2025. Also, small rant. I was close to finishing the game on S+ rank on Hardcore in 2 hours. I go killed right at the end. I uninstalled the game. Nope. Never gonna attempt this again. For at least the next 24 hours. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2958565590 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2954484065

The Resident Evil 2 Remake is an extraordinary reimagining of the 1998 classic, bringing players back to Raccoon City with a perfect mix of nostalgia and modern enhancements. With updated graphics, refined gameplay mechanics, and a deep focus on storytelling, this remake is a masterclass in survival horror. A Returning Classic The game offers two intertwined perspectives, showcasing both Leon Kennedy's and Claire Redfield's struggles during the outbreak. Leon's journey highlights his transformation from a rookie cop to a hardened survivor, while Claire’s path focuses on her determination to protect Sherry Birkin, a child caught in the chaos. Both stories are well-developed, offering a sense of depth and emotional connection to the characters. Engaging Multiple Perspective Gameplays The addition of Ada Wong's segments brings a fresh layer of intrigue, as her espionage-themed gameplay contrasts perfectly with the survival horror. Similarly, the Ghost Survivors mode introduces side stories of other characters, exploring what-ifs and adding more replayability to the game. Visuals and Atmosphere Visually, the game is stunning, with the RE Engine delivering atmospheric lighting and grotesque enemy designs. Every encounter with zombies and the relentless Mr. X feels heart-stopping, thanks to impeccable sound design and dynamic music that heightens tension. Sometimes Mr. X comes out of nowhere and that is Scary AF. Pros: [*]Faithful yet innovative retelling of a classic. [*]Stunning visuals and terrifying atmosphere. [*]Engaging dual-protagonist campaigns with meaningful storylines. [*]Replayable content with Ghost Survivors mode. [*]Intense and satisfying survival horror gameplay. Cons: [*]Some puzzles may feel repetitive. [*]Mr. X's relentless pursuit can be frustrating for some players. Conclusion The Resident Evil 2 Remake is a love letter to fans of the original while being an excellent entry point for newcomers. It blends cinematic storytelling, gripping gameplay, and unforgettable moments, making it one of the best survival horror games in recent years. If you haven’t returned to Raccoon City yet, now is the perfect time.

Whoever thought it was necessary to remove the iconic "resident evil" voice in the main menu... It was a bad idea and no you are not as smart or visionary as you think. You should definitely feel bad.

April 2024

Played this game with one hand. Fascinating and life changing experience, wish Leon could bust a nut in me the same way he busts the zombies heads.
