About Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is a remake of 1998's Resident Evil 2. The game was not developed with the intent of improving the original, but rather a reimagining of the original story with redesigned maps, characters and story elements. Gameplay mechanics are more similar to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard though with the use of an over-the-shoulder camera.

    71% win rate over 612 duels is solid but I keep wondering if that number holds against the specific games it keeps facing, since those are tough opponents to beat consistently at that rank.

    pq siempre comparan con el original, aqui lo q importa es el puesto real en la tabla, no la nostalgia

    I might be wrong here but 94th feels a bit generous to me, the police station is great and then things get repetitive fast in my memory.

    Beat it twice and still jump at the same door.

    J'y ai joué un soir de panne d'internet, sans savoir à quoi m'attendre. Je n'ai pas dormi tranquille après ça.

    Yo lo jugué con mi hermana pasándonos el mando en cada susto, y creo que ese ranking no capta lo bien que funciona para compartirlo.

    La cámara al hombro le sienta bien, o mejor dicho, le da un ritmo que el original no tenía.

    Lo de la cámara al hombro está bien pero para mí el problema es otro, y es que los pasillos se repiten más de lo que parece cuando ya conoces el mapa entero.
