RE2 is an absolute classic. This remaster is so much more than a graphical revamp. It broadly sticks to the format and story of the original RE2, but adds to, revises, and refines much of it – it feels like a new game and is worth it even if you have played RE2 plenty of times over. Strongly recommend this as one of the best games of the year, no doubt.

This is how a remake should be done. They have taken the bones of the original and remixed it so that it feels familiar enough to players of the original but different enough to be full of surprises.

Having not played RE:2 when it was first released on the PS1, I was very excited to get stuck into the remake on PS4. It's beautiful to look at and incredible engrossing to play. Probably the peak of the series in terms of genuine survival horror until RE:7 came along many years later.
