Andrés Aquino · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Another Impressive Port For The Switch 2 When the Switch 2 came out, my initial question was “why?” Why give a new updated Switch that looks and arguably plays the exact same as the original model?

Andrés Aquino · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Resident Evil 2 is a masterpiece, and its Switch 2 edition runs like a dream — here’s how I’d rate Capcom’s survival horror remake on Nintendo’s hybrid system.
Harry Padoan · Oct 13, 2026 Reviewed on Switch 2Read full review - Twenty years ago, Resident Evil 2 set the standards for the survival horror genre. Now the remake has raised the bar, and in doing that, it ended up becoming the best Resident Evil title ever made.
Kyle Nicol · Feb 06, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full review - All told, Resident Evil 2 is an utterly fantastic remake, reimagining a 90’s classic for a modern audience with modern sensibilities. A single playthrough is slight at about 8-10 hours, but every minute is oozing with quality. If that’s enough for you there are also alternative routes with other characters, a couple of secret modes and some fairly crazy unlockables for those who absolutely master the game. Resident Evil 2 is a brilliant rendition of one of the finest survival horror experiences of all time.

Trailers & Screenshots:
A port of Resident Evil 2, enhanced with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.
Resident Evil 2 is a sequel to the first Resident Evil title. Like the previous game in the series, Resident Evil 2 is a 3D action-adventure using three-dimensional polygon characters over two-dimensional pre-rendered backgrounds, with the action viewed through a variety of cinematic fixed camera angles in each room. Players can choose to play as one of two possible characters; each goes through the same initial scenario but with differences in the type of weaponry they find and the people they meet along the way.
