The game has been praised by critics for its enhanced graphics, although visuals are just one of the positive changes that the remake has brought. Most noticeably is the way the game has been reworked, making it both easier to play and providing even more tension and horror.
For example, the ‘zapping’ system which allowed players to experience two characters’ scenarios in the classic game, has been removed and replaced by traditional save files. This makes the game more linear, which although it may sound like a step back, actually creates a more consistent and traditional gameplay experience which is welcomed by fans of the series.
The developers have also opened up the game, allowing multiple routes and choices throughout the game, while also still providing plenty of horror and suspense. This means players have the option to explore, rather than being stuck in one recurring linear loop.
It’s clear that the Resident Evil 2 Remake has made a great effort to remain respectful to the original, while also modernising numerous aspects. There’s also the benefit of no longer having to bear the blocky graphics of the original.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is therefore an example of how a remake can be done right, offering fans of the franchise and new players alike the perfect way to experience the classic horror game in a new and modernised light. Not to mention, the positive reaction to the remake is likely to drive the series forward in exciting ways for the long-term future.
