Resident Evil 2 Remake, developed and published by Capcom, is a ground-up reimagining of the iconic 1998 survival horror game. Built using the powerful RE Engine, the remake modernizes gameplay while preserving the tension, pacing and atmosphere that defined the original.
 

Set during the catastrophic outbreak in Raccoon City, players experience the story through two intersecting campaigns starring Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie police officer on his first day and Claire Redfield, a college student searching for her missing brother. Their journeys overlap but feature unique locations, encounters, puzzles and story moments.
 

Gameplay is presented from an over-the-shoulder perspective, emphasizing resource management, exploration and survival. Ammunition and healing items are scarce, forcing players to decide whether to fight enemies or avoid confrontation. Zombies are more durable and unpredictable, increasing tension in every encounter.
 

The game’s setting—the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD)—is a masterclass in horror level design. Dark corridors, locked doors, puzzle-filled rooms and constant backtracking create a claustrophobic and suspenseful atmosphere. The relentless Tyrant (Mr. X) stalks players through the station, adding persistent pressure and fear.
 

Visuals, lighting, sound design, and animations elevate immersion, while reworked puzzles and enemy behavior keep even veteran players on edge. Additional modes like The 4th Survivor, The Ghost Survivors and time-based challenges extend replay value.
 

With its perfect balance of nostalgia and innovation, Resident Evil 2 Remake is widely regarded as one of the best survival horror games ever made.
