Resident Evil 2 remake is a gorgeously gory blast from the past

The demo starts off with Leon, who is a rookie during this time, arriving at the Raccoon City police station. By this point, Raccoon City has been completely overrun by the zombie outbreak, with very few survivors in sight.

Entering the police station, the original hall has been faithfully recreated with the same graphical fidelity that made Resident Evil 7 so memorable. Now, it’s easier to admire thanks to the new camera, making it feel more intimate and claustrophobic like Resident Evil 4.

The updated visuals give the police station an impressive prestige and an almost overwhelming grandiosity. The architecture helps create a great atmosphere, making the experience feel wrought with unbearable tension.

It’s been years since I survived Resident Evil 2, so I can’t say if the puzzles, item locations, and the narrative is exactly the same. But there’s certainly a comfortable familiarity when playing the remake, the corridors, the ornate statues, the obtuse riddles. It feels like the penultimate Resident Evil experience fans have been eagerly awaiting to play, even more than the revamped versions of the first Resident Evil.
