This is a Resident Evil 2 REmake which features a graphical rebuild and changing of certain story elements to streamline game play. There are basically two "stories" that you can choose from, though the basic premise of the story is roughly the same: You can play as Leon Kennedy through the first day on the job of the Raccoon Police Department, or as Claire Redfield as she searches for her brother.

This game has a very different vibe to the original Resident Evil 2, that's not necessarily a bad thing since even though the original was extremely well made, the controls, pacing, and fixed camera are not for everyone. This REmake does an exceptional job of bringing the game into the more modern era of gaming. I personally would have loved a dodge in the game, but that's just me being a little picky.

The game looks beautiful, has some fun puzzle elements (though nothing quite like the first Resident Evil game with the bizarrely constructed manor), and introduces game play elements and features that provide a lot of quality of life improvement (being able to expand your inventory blessedly being one of them).

If you are a fan of the Resident Evil series for it's story telling, and you do not mind a shift in game play style to something that would be considered more action oriented, then this is a game that you will likely have a lot of fun playing. If you prefer the puzzle elements, tension, controls, and pacing of the original games then the changes they have made to modernize the game may not necessarily sit well with you. In my personal opinion, I think they game is amazing and definitely worth playing through. If price is a consideration, wait for the Steam sales that occur pretty often to pick it up, but the value for the money spent is there.

If you'd like to check out the begging of the game and a sample of what the actual game play will look like, I have a play through on my YouTube Gaming Channel. I will put a link to it below if you'd like to watch, below that I will also provide a link to the full playlist. If you would be so kind as to subscribe to the channel (only if you're interested, of course) please do so, it will greatly help my channel grow.
