The editors didn't like
There are a few uneven gameplay moments
With one enemy hurting the pacing and a brief section that doesn't work as well as the rest

Casuals will get their asses kicked
Gets off to a slow start
Some silly adventure game logic
Sluggish movement a pain during boss fights
Occasional pacing issues that make certain sections frustrating
Resident Evil 2 ($60 on Humble) is more than just a remake. It's proof there's room for Resident Evil in the modern horror landscape—and without compromising the core of the series the way Resident Evil VII did.Don't get me wrong, I loved Resident Evil VI...

Cleverly expanded yet faithful to the original, Separate story structure works nicely, Looks fabulous, Horror element brought to the fore, Loads of replay value, Iconic in every way
Certain ammo is too hard to find, Possible to face boss-battles without the necessary firepower
The original Resident Evil 2's horror dynamics garnered a huge amount of praise at the time. The 2019 remake makes the maximum use of modern technology to take them to an even higher plane. As a result the new Resident Evil 2 is an absolute tour de force...

Abstract: Let's get this out of the way: Resident Evil 2 is the best game in Capcom's long-running survival horror series and possibly the greatest example of the genre ever produced. Released in 1998, two years after the agenda-setting Resident Evil, it introduced...

Abstract: Have you ever been to the cinema only for some idiot to spend the entire two hours kicking the back of your chair? It's so annoying, isn't it? The film could be the best you've ever seen, but it's impossible to enjoy because Popcorn Lionel Messi has decid...
Abstract: You know you're playing a good Resident Evil game when you need to keep a pen and a piece of scrap paper close at hand. Sitting on the first open page of my notepad, in a frantic scrawl, are rudimentary diagrams with numbers sticking out at odd angles, re...

It looks great, Zombies are amazingly grotesque, Great puzzles and atmosphere
Fumbly controls, Clunky boss fights, Feels oddly foreshortened towards the end
A beautifully made and reverent take on the original game that works both as a remake and a completely new game...

Bar-raising visual presentation, Incredibly immersive audio, Welcome gameplay tweaks, Surprisingly good story, Scary as hell
Your future nightmares
Your first few hours with RE2 will likely be spent marveling at its presentation. But once you've become accustomed to how Leon realistically limps and clutches his side when he's wounded, or how pelting rain and gathering puddles simultaneously deliver...
Abstract: Roll up, roll up, welcome to the circus! Inside you'll find a man whose legs have been eaten clean off, key and door systems based on chess pieces, and a mutant gator the size of a truck that chases you through the sewers. Fancy playing hide-and-seek with...
