Resident Evil 2 Remake PS4 Pro Review By Oliver Staley

Resident Evil 2 Remake

    I remember playing the excellent Resident Evil 2 way back when I had a PS One and it was crazy in those days after the first game set in the infamous mansion where would Capcom take the series next they took it straight to the streets and police department of Raccoon City the game was focused round the police department as should I say the key location like the mansion in the first game, where you'd be fighting off zombie police officers and working out puzzles Ala Resident Evil items needing to be placed in certain objects which unlocks another item of use. So how dose the remake feel authentic or is it a remolding that completely takes you away from the feel of the original. Well I say the locations, puzzles enemies haven't changed and I glad to say it's a welcoming return to all things Resident Evil 2 the game was produced with the RE Engine and the graphics have a very Resi 7 feel to it, the game plays like a dream with Leon S Kennedy been a joy to play and the graphics are some of the best graphics out there check out the zombie models you can shot different limbs and shoot actual body parts clean of them. The police station is a marvel to look at with traces of what was once a museum so there's the inclusion of key areas like the art room and library and statues. The action is great with having to find ammo and using it wisely at some point you be able to get access to a shot gun which makes blowing the anatomy off zombies even more satisfying the puzzles are very traditional like the first game where one of your first objectives is to find three medallions to unlock the a underground area this game feels just right in the Resi universe the fresh feel it had when 1,2 & 3 retained the original feel before the Capcom started experimenting with different angles in the series like 4 becoming over the shoulder and more action focused, Resident Evil 2 Remake is the perfect revamp of one of the greatest games from the PlayStation era, brilliant graphics great atmosphere and brilliant traditional puzzles to keep the Resi faith brilliant game great amount of action creepy police station and later you'll discover a hidden underground are which holds more secrets behind the T-Virus, if it's been years since playing Resident Evil 2 make this a come back to marvel at, you love coming back to Raccoon City.
