-Incredible Graphics. The RE Engine is superb.
-Extremely tight and fun gameplay.
-Does right by the original
Could have used just a little extra something. It's basically too faithful which is a good or a bad thing depending on who you ask.
-The second scenario modes are weak.
- The intro section is too short, why is this?
This is a near perfect remake. I still prefer the remake of the original game to this one for one simple reason. I think the original remake goes just a step further. They added in some interesting twists that elevated it a bit. If I had to fault RE2 for anything. It’s that it plays it too safe. That being said. This is a gorgeous, incredibly fun and scary game. The zombies are a blast to fight.
Conclusion: I loved this game but if I had to be honest, I wish it had gone further and surprised us a bit more. Purist out there may disagree but I think they could have expanded the early parts of the game.
Almost everything about this game is perfect- the innovation, the expanding of characters stories and arcs, the reimagining of events that are more grounded and stremalined, etc, etc, etc. It’s hard not to give this game a 10 honestly, but the only thing that’s kind of missing is maybe the buildup and payoff part of the story that I felt got undercut by something just being lackluster for the scenario. Can’t 100% put my finger on it, but I think it has to do with the boss battles being nearly identical between scenarios which wouldn’t make sense from a plot perspective- sort of what I would call a silly oversight from a narrative point of view- basically there should have been more interaction between Leon and Claire throughout the game, and things that one person already did should be made less similar in the 2nd Run. I think this was handled more cohesively and more logically in the original and is part of what made it a classic in the first place. Regardless, everything else about this game is beyond the moon amazing, especially the graphics- my GOD they look good. Plus with so much replay value- so close to perfection and I’m sure those new to the franchise will find it bar-setting in terms of the whole package coming together.
