The stunning graphics, incredible survival horror combat and wonderfully eerie setting make picking up a copy of Resident Evil 2 a no-brainer.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is everything a remake should aspire to be. It captures the feel of the original almost perfectly while updating and improving almost everything. It has its flaws, but nothing detracts from the excellent experience. It's fun, spooky, and everything Resident Evil 2 was — but even better. Fans of the franchise and newcomers should enjoy themselves greatly. If you like killing zombies, you owe it to yourself to try out RE2 Remake.

The best remake out of the remake’s not counting 2002 remake. It has the scary feeling that some of us that played the og remember for the first time. The environment even add to the horror theme in my option the perfect resident remake.

Good game, better than X-Men 2, better than even X-Men 1, but worse than Devil May Cry X

Resident Evil 2 plays its cards very well, and offers its benefits to a level of excellence that make this remake a title that's indispensable.
Resident Evil 2’s remake highlights just how great Capcom’s first sequel in the Resident Evil series ways, but does it in a way that makes it the most compelling entry in the series thus far. It’s smart changes merge with the classic design expertly, while its atmosphere is rich thanks to gorgeous lighting and incredible sound design. It’s a reminder of the past, but this remake would be a fine direction for the future of Resident Evil.
Aside from the disappointing 2nd Run scenarios, I feel confident in saying that this is the best Resident Evil game ever released. It brings back everything that fans loved from the PS1 classic, and presents it in a fresh, modern way that's both exciting and nostalgic in a modern age.
In spite of its progression carrying the weight of the years and its strongly cliche scenario, Resident Evil 2 remains an exciting game in its mode of thought, its inventiveness and its execution.
By trying to please so many different players the game will probably not satisfy anyone completely. Resident Evil veterans will feel like it is a bit too simple and unfaithful. New players will wonder about the 90s logic in spending so much time looking for keys so you can politely unlock doors when your backpack is loaded with rocket launchers and oversized shotguns which could just as easily have blown them off their hinges.
One of the best remakes out there. True definition of survival horror. A masterpiece.

One major gripe I got, gotta say it straight, A and B scenarios, they didn't innovate, B's practically gone, no depth, just a disguise.

The original Resident Evil 2 is my favorite game of all time so I was ready for a long time for this remake to come out. I did have a lot of fun playing this game I just don’t like that they cut content from the original. One major issue I have is how they did the A and B scenarios. The B scenario is pretty much gone. It is more of a Claire campaign and a Leon campaign and they do not change much from 1st run to 2nd run.
