About Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror game that arrived in the late 1990s for the PlayStation, building upon the foundation of its predecessor.

Players choose between two protagonists, Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield, each with their own unique story paths and starting items. You explore the dark and atmospheric Raccoon City, which has been overrun by zombies and other grotesque creatures due to a viral outbreak. The gameplay focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and combat against these threats, all while managing a very limited inventory of ammunition, health items, and keys. Finding and using specific items on the environment is key to progressing through the various locations, from police stations to underground laboratories.

A hallmark of Resident Evil 2 is its fixed camera angles, which create suspense by limiting your field of vision and often hiding dangers just out of sight. The tank control scheme means you move in the direction your character is facing, adding to the deliberate pace and challenge. Discovering weapon upgrades, combining herbs for healing, and saving your progress at typewriters are crucial survival mechanics that define the experience of Resident Evil 2.
