What an awful first day on your new job. As Leon S. Kennedy, you are on your way to your new duty as a cop in Raccoon City, and discover that the small town is being overrun by hordes of seemingly dead people, and not the kind ones. In Resident Evil 2 you uncover the backgrounds to this sudden zombie outbreak, and thanks to the Remake, it looks fantastic. Since 2019, even those who are not so hardcore to overlook the fixed camera and tank controls can finally enjoy this zombie action.

If one playthrough is not enough for you...

Make sure to replay the game as the alternative main character, Claire, who looks for her missing brother. The remake also includes additional game modes where you can showcase your survival skills, for example, as the mayor's daughter or a special force agent.

Now there really is no excuse to let this game rot on your Pile of Shame. Grab your badge and enter the survival Horror!
