About RESIDENT EVIL 2 / BIOHAZARD RE:2
About this game
Developed and published by CAPCOM.
Watch the beginning of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield's story in Resident Evil 2
Re-experience or discover a classic!
Whether you played it during its first release back in 1998 or you're just finding it now, this is a fantastic way to get back (or in!) to Resident Evil 2!
Two sides of a coin
Play the campaign from both perspectives — Leon's and Claire's. This creative narration will suck you into the story!
Prevail through all obstacles
Fight and win against terrifying enemies, explore dark and creepy corridors, solve puzzles to progress, and use all the items at your disposal to survive. You'll really need all you can give to weather this storm!
Modernized
Classics are fantastic and timeless, but they're still old! To fix that, the game was modernized through the new over-the-shoulder camera mode! But don't worry, the old way is still available.
Upgraded visuals
Built from the ground up on CAPCOM'S RE Engine, the visuals are now photorealistic, meaning that whether you're fighting zombies or roaming corridors, you'll be up close and personal!
Steam Deck
And finally, if you feel like taking your zombie-killing elsewhere, you'll be able to because the game is verified on the Steam Deck!

One of best remakes I played.
Completely new graphic but everything that make RE classic zombie game is still there and more. Original was my first RE game and remake charmed me same way as original one.

This is a remake to remember, it's such a fun game though a little more concentrated on the main story and it's cut out some bosses to speed up progression. it's a great game to play through for the story, and afterwards there are speedrun challenges that you can complete to unlock other goodies that make multiple playthrough actually enjoyable. like being able to mow down zombies with a gatling gun.

Very good addition to the series and a great revival of the original game. It game personally to me feel a bit cheap with some of the mechanics but I enjoyed my time with it and would strongly recommend it on a sale if you like horror games, especially those with a bit of puzzles in them! extra features compared to the original too!

Remakes very rarely get the job done better than the original however re2 does it in spades with at least four different ways to play, this game is worth full price let alone if you can find it on sale
