If you are fan of classic RE2 this game will let you dream. The best money value for this masterpiece, complete in all its versions (standard and japanese) with some nice extra features.
Resident Evil 2, originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, is without a doubt one of the most iconic games of the 32-bit era. Developed by Capcom, the title not only solidified the franchise as a benchmark in the survival horror genre, but also raised the bar in terms of narrative, gameplay, and atmosphere. Even today, it's remembered as a true masterpiece.
Gameplay – Tension and strategy at every step
The gameplay in Resident Evil 2 is fantastic because it offers a unique mix of action, exploration, and resource management. The constant feeling of vulnerability — with limited ammo, clever puzzles, and relentless enemies — creates a tension-filled experience from start to finish. The "tank controls," while awkward for newcomers, are essential to the game's identity, demanding precision and caution. Additionally, the "Scenario A and B" system for protagonists Leon and Claire adds brilliant replay value, showing different sides of the story depending on the play order.
Graphics – Dark, detailed, and atmospheric
For its time, Resident Evil 2 featured impressive visuals. The pre-rendered backgrounds were rich in detail and atmosphere, whether in the dark hallways of the police station or the eerie Umbrella laboratories. The use of lighting, shadows, and creature design reinforced the game's feeling of dread and mystery. Despite technical limitations, it effectively conveyed emotion and fear through its visuals.
Story – Resident Evil 2 follows Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie cop, and Claire Redfield, who is searching for her brother, as they arrive in Raccoon City—only to find it overrun by a viral outbreak. As they struggle to survive, they uncover a deeper conspiracy behind the T-Virus and the sinister Umbrella Corporation. The dual campaigns show the story from both perspectives, revealing new details and making the narrative richer and more engaging.
Score: 10/10
Ever since I got the OG RE on GOG, I've been EAGERLY awaiting the release of 2 & 3. Seeing that it'd release on 8/27 even more so. It doesn't disappoint. Whatsoever. It's a must play for any Resident Evil Fan.
I have been begging for these games to port to PC for so long! i can't believe they are finally here. I still own all of them on PS but they look terrible on modern TV's so i gave up in hopes that this day would finally come, thank you Capcom/GOG! Would love to see dino crysis next!
