Resident Evil 2 Remake [Let's Play] - Claire B Campaign - 01 - A New Scenario
Resident Evil 2 Remake is a survival horror game based on the PS1 classic rebuilt from the ground up. Unlike the remake of the first game, this one replaces fixed-camera angle with over the shoulder gameplay. Set in the zombie-infested Raccoon City where a viral outbreak has turned the population into monsters, the game follows Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield who set out to survive the night and eventually discover the dark secrets of the Umbrella Corporation.
Resident Evil 2 Remake, retains the original's limited resources, encouraging you to approach every encounter with fresh tactics rather than relying on brute force. The gameplay is streamlined, but the tension remains which is why I think RE2 is a Remake done right!
The game's pacing is genuinely fun! I taste panic a lot in this version of the game compared to other RE titles, but I never felt cheated - a change in approach always led me to progress even if it required a few tries. Like classic Resident Evil, the tense action sequences followed by slow puzzle solving in a good balance. The game is very scary but not overly so...
As of writing this, I finished both Leon A and Claire B scenarios. Here's the Play List for the series on 3Speak. In Claire's campaign, I was more used to the game, and I still used a guide to collect the best weapons earlier (missed the Magnum in Leon's campaign) but since Mr. X was stalking me from the beginning, it was still hard despite me getting used to the game. Claire's scenario has Sherry, a small girl whose gameplay segments blew me away with how well they incorporated a child in a zombie game! It's a far cry from escort missions in Resident Evil's older era! I recommend!!
