Kennedy and Claire Redfield-and a few fan-favorite bosses and locations have been recreated. You can still play as two characters-Leon S. It’s a remake, but it’s never a slave to the source material, adding or cleverly remixing enough elements to make it feel brand new. They just moan and lurch and grab, and there’s something enjoyably back-to-basics about that-a feeling that echoes through every claustrophobic hallway of this confident remake.Īfter the subversive, rule-breaking Resident Evil 7, with its grimy Southern Gothic aesthetic and intimate first-person horror, Resident Evil 2 is a return to a more familiar style of game. They don’t sprint or explode or sprout thrashing parasites like they do in newer Resident Evil games. Turn a corner, and as your flashlight beam catches their glassy white eyes they screech and trudge towards you, arms outstretched, jaws slung with glistening blood.
Shoot a leg off and they keep coming, dragging themselves along the floor, reaching at you with pale, clawing hands. They’re physical and clumsy and an absolute joy to kill-if you have the ammunition to spare. The undead in this game are incredible, horrible things: shuffling lumps of bloody meat who batter down doors, tumble through broken windows and lunge hungrily from the shadows.
One of the most remarkable things about this Resident Evil 2 remake is that it makes zombies-the slow, shambling, groaning kind-exciting again. A challenging, tense, and beautiful remake of a classic survival horror game, and with enough fresh ideas to make it feel excitingly new.
