Well deserved. Shockingly good. A perfect ten.

 

[nial]

Well deserved.

 

[T-0800]

Great game but I'm not sure if it is better than the original though.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I swear this game is like $7 dollars on every PlayStation sale.

 

[Soodanim]

Not a perfect ten*, but a very very good game with a plenty of content for those that want it.

*Second scenario fuck up thanks to it being a last minute addition. Should have had more inter-scenario/cross character stuff and expanded on the original's ideas rather than ditching the mechanic entirely.

 

[lh032]

i was hoping to be RE4 remake soon.

RE4 has better "play section" for me.
I replayed 7 times lol

 

[Skyfox]

Game of the decade

 

[xVodevil]

Still my favorite game in the series, I mean of course both the original and this remake! Well deserved! I keep saying, but still good for them and keep 'em coming!
We proper can't have enough RE games in existance Hopgin Code Veronica is next, never got to play that one.

The people have spoken: Remakes/Remasters > Backwards Compatibility

With GameCube , PS3 /Xbox 360 remakes taking up prime dead space in the charts this month & saying you haven't seen the last of us it's clear that people would rather have games remade to take advantage of the new hardware than to get small BC enhancements.

Finished the game but it's too boring for my tastes. Resident evil 4 remake is what i i want in RE games going forward.

 

[Eimran]

I think RE4 R has the potential to exceed that. Best game I played this year. Finished it 8 times already

 

[ZehDon]

REMake 2 is probably my favourite entry, all things said. I've certainly replayed it the most. Do I wish it had a proper B Scenario? Sure, but everything we did get is basically TPS survival horror perfected. Glad to see it doing so darn well.

 

[rofif]

It might be the best RE game

 

[Apocryphon]

Well deserved. Game is incredible.

The RE4 Remake is also excellent, but RE2R and RE7 are basically perfect. Shame Village was dogshit and 3R was meh.

 

[Roberts]

This reminds me I have to finally do Claire playthrough. And yeah, it’s up there with 4R as the best.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Perfect RE game if it wasn’t for that trash B-scenario.

 

[rofif]

Perfect RE game if it wasn’t for that trash B-scenario.

B scenario is rushed.
But A scenarios are good. Do You rpefer Leon A or Claire A ?

 

[The artful mincer]

Hopefully it's the Bluepoint for future RE titles going forward.

 

[Soodanim]

B scenario is rushed.
But A scenarios are good. Do You rpefer Leon A or Claire A ?

The hype of that cutscene half way through Claire's is one of those memorable moments for me, especially as such a big fan of the original, but part of me wants to say Leon's is better. Hard to say though, really.

I think I like Leon weapons more and Ada is pure sex

Leon‘s ma man. Always has been.

[Badlucktroll]

Lord willing, Silent Hill 2 shall break this record.

Claire doesn't have her crossbow this time round, that's an automatic loss

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Lord willing, Silent Hill 2 shall break this record.

How? It isn't even for sale anymore.

 

[Badlucktroll]

How? It isn't even for sale anymore.

Silent Hill 2 Remake

 

[skneogaf]

It's the best resident evil game in my opinion so deserved.

3rd person resident evil is best resident evil.

 

[Diddy X]

Very good game but 7 is better.

 

[Robb]

Well deserved, fantastic remake!

 

[Northeastmonk]

I was amazing by how satisfying it was. I loved how satisfying it was walking around the police station on PS1.

 

[poodaddy]

Silent Hill 2 Remake

 

[Ginzeen]

RES 2 remake still my favorite one. Just by a little. Can't wait for RES 5 remake.

 

[Fools idol]

I enjoyed 4REmake a lot more but both superb games

 

[Represent.]

Fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic gore. Fantastic zombie killing.

Didn’t finish it. Too many fucking puzzles. Took me right out of it. Got to the final stage though

 

[PlayerNumber0ne]

Well deserved

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Incredibly overrated remake. The music is trash, B Scenario doesn't exist and they nickel and dimed you for costumes. It's a 7/10 at best.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Overrated dumbed down game.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Not surprising at all...

Besides maybe the sewer section, RE 2 is arguably as close to perfect as it gets.

Replayable, as every RE game should be.
It took the very limited story and dialogue from the original, broke it down, and rebuilt it into something special, while still keeping the spirit of the original intact.

Incredible voice acting, subtle but well implemented music. Surprisingly similar gameplay to the original, with a few new spices to keep it engaging for a newer and older audience.

It's fucking excellent.

 

[bender]

It's just behind RE:Make as my favorite remake in the series. Definitely S-Tier, but it is based on my favorite entry in the series.

 

[Mr Moose]

Just bought this and RE3 on PC for £12. Beat RE3 today, seemed really short. Already have RE2 on my PS4/5 so might not bother with PC version.

 

[K' Dash]

Great game but I'm not sure if it is better than the original though.

it's complicated.

RE2 is better than OG RE1 by a country mile, just better in every aspect.

If we compare RE2 with REmake, its a close fight, I honestly could not choose.

If we talk about RE2make vs REmake, then it's easy, REmake all the way, even though I love RE2make.
