About this game

How it plays

Resident Evil 2 puts you in the boots of a rookie cop and a college student trying to survive a single night in a city that’s already lost. You explore the Raccoon City Police Department building room by room, picking locks, solving item-based puzzles, and managing a genuinely limited inventory where every decision to carry ammo instead of a healing item can come back to bite you. Combat is deliberate rather than fast: zombies eat bullets and keep coming, and knowing when to run past a threat instead of fighting it is as much a skill as your aim. The Deluxe Edition adds a stack of cosmetic costumes for Leon and Claire, an alternate weapon skin in the Samurai Edge Albert Model, and the option to swap in the original game’s soundtrack, so you can play it with either a modern score or a nostalgic one.

Who it’s for

If you like survival horror that rewards map memorization and resource planning over reflexes, this is close to the genre’s high point. Fans of the 1998 original will get a kick out of walking the same hallways rebuilt from the ground up, and the soundtrack swap here is a nice touch for anyone who wants that specific throwback feeling. It’s less of a fit if you want a straightforward action shooter, since ammo scarcity and backtracking are the whole point, not a flaw to route around. People who get genuinely rattled by tense, gory horror should also go in with eyes open, since the atmosphere here is doing real work.

Is it worth it?

For anyone who already knows they like Resident Evil or survival horror generally, this is the kind of game that holds up to repeat playthroughs since knowing the map changes how you approach the puzzles and encounters the second and third time through. The Deluxe Edition mainly sweetens the deal with cosmetic extras rather than new mechanics, so the core value is really about how much you want the base game plus a bit of flavor on top. It’s a well-regarded, complete package rather than something that needs future updates to feel finished, which makes it a solid pickup whenever it’s discounted instead of something you need to grab at full price the day you hear about it.
