Resident Evil 2

Capcom has not only recreated Resident Evil 2, but entirely redesigned it to be a bigger and more robust horror experience. The sense of dread and tension they created is unwavering throughout each of the six-hour campaigns. The choices they made only help expand upon the characters and the overall universe, along with making the gameplay a little easier for more people to survive this unforgiving world.

What Capcom has created here with Resident Evil 2 is somewhat unprecedented. While remakes aren’t a new thing in video games, the way in which Capcom has been able to change so many facets of Resident Evil 2 while keeping the core of the game intact is one of the most impressive accomplishments I’ve seen in quite some time. Better yet, they found a way to improve on a beloved classic, which is no short order.
