Zombies take an excessive amount of bullets to kill and it's hard to tell if they're actually dead or if they'll spring back up and attack again. You can move and aim without issue and overall, it feels like a modern action game. Looks like he missed the helipad by just a bitĬombat is simple and more fluid than in older Resident Evil games. That being said, it is grotesquely gory in places. It's suspenseful without being soul-shatteringly scary so those who aren't interested in horror games should still be able to enjoy the action and exploration that it offers. Resident Evil 2's menacing ambiance is enhanced with plenty of creaking noises, dark rooms, and a few unexpected zombies that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Solving these puzzles is usually quite fun and none of them are tough enough that you'll get stuck. There are a dozen or so puzzle rooms, some that must be solved to proceed and others that are optional and usually reward you with powerful ammo or weapon upgrades. The map also tracks whether or not you've fully explored a room and acquired all of the items within it. Using the robust map, you can usually tell if you've missed any important locations that could hinder your progress. Many of the side rooms don't offer anything essential but if you're willing to examine them, you'll be rewarded with useful items and ammo.
Resident Evil 2 excels at keeping you on the correct path while also offering you the ability to explore as much or as little as you want. A hefty portion of the campaign takes place in the four stories of the police department that's filled with locked doors, secrets, upgrades, and key items that must be collected to proceed. Little do Leon and Claire know, the police department (formerly a museum) has already been inundated with zombies and most of the cops have already been killed or transformed into zombies. Zombies always look better on the other side of locked gates Escaping the fire spreading across the streets, they split up and flee for shelter in the Raccoon Police Department. After an opening cutscene sets an ominous tone, Leon and Claire immediately encounter their first group of zombies then narrowly avoid being blown to bits in a tanker explosion. The action starts right away for our two playable heroes: Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. In other words, this version of Resident Evil 2 is so much more than a remake. To me, it's more of an original game that was inspired by the 1998 version as a lot has been changed, upgraded, and improved. However, I have had a chance to watch some gameplay footage of the original game on YouTube to get a better understanding of its history and I've determined that it's not entirely fair to even refer to this new version of Resident Evil 2 as a remake. As I got older, I never bothered to go back and check it out due to the aged mechanics and the vast amounts of newer games I was interested in playing. I was only 12 when the game released and I wasn't allowed to play violent games nor was I all that interested in them. I'll be honest I've never actually played the original Resident Evil 2. Instead, why not buy some indie games with your hard-earned money? 💰 Well, that's not ominous at all.

Resident Evil 2 is also available for PS5 and Xbox OneĬapcom has been rather eager to re-release their older games on this current generation of consoles.
