Buy Resident Evil 2 / BIOHAZARD RE:2

The new Resident Evil 2 is a complete remake and not only a remastered version of the original survival-horror title from 1998. The game follows the story of Claire Renfield and Leon Kennedy as they try to escape from a zombie-infested Racoon City.

Played in a third-person over-the-shoulder perspective with incredible graphics, Resident Evil 2 features a series of changes that emphasize even more the survival-horror theme in the game. You will explore Racoon City while solving puzzles and fighting monsters, equipped with firearms and limited ammunition. This adds a tactical element to the weapon usage. But fear not, there will be a gunpowder crafting system in the game that will let you partially mitigate the well-known ammunition-shortage of the original title. Just don't become trigger-happy and waste your limited resources.

You can check the characters' health and use medicine to heal wounds or assign weapons on the status screen. If a character gets hurt, it will slow down, so make sure you keep their health as good as possible. There is also limited space to carry items, so you will have to save items you can't carry in boxes thru the game, as you might need them later. This is a seamless world, so it pays to have caches of items when zombies can follow you from one room to the next one. Also, you will be able to unlock Claire and Leon’s classic costumes from the original Resident Evil 2 for free, and bonus missions with HUNK and Tofu will be part of the game too, not DLC.

The game revisits all the old places, but there are changes, so old and new players can enjoy this classic cult game.
