great port that is all

Brilliant remake of an already brilliant classic.

Very enjoyable two hours. Well worth the price tag. Would love to see more co-op puzzle games like this.

As a long-time fan of the Resident Evil franchise, you can bet I've been eagerly waiting for a remake for a long time. With the huge success of the RE1 remaster, it was only a matter of time before Capcom would tackle the most beloved entry of the series. And by God, they actually did it.

Not much has to be explained as to why RE Engine works so well for this game. While I didn't necessary dislike the first-person gameplay that RE7 had, I find myself preferring RE2's over-the-shoulder camera (Probably the RE4 fanboy in me talking). This game feels absolutely remarkable. The added features that make exploring a million times more convenient than ever. Less of those needless going around in circles like in the old days. Everything looks bloody gorgeous. It still manages to retain the horrific atmosphere that made RE2 so great. Side note: Hearing Mr. X's heavy footsteps in different areas of the police station made me wanna piss my pants countless times.

There's still a lot to say about this remake, however I'll leave it at this: I couldn't be happier with how this game turned out. I definitely see myself playing this game over and over again, while still being able to look back at the original game without feeling cheated. I'm twenty-five years old now, but playing this game made me feel like that little boy who cowered at the thought of living in Raccoon City again.

I'm glad to RE2 under the spotlight once again. Let's hope that someday, RE3 will get the same treatment.
Bravo, Capcom. Bravo.

Yuri is life

There's actually little for me to say about this game that hasn't already been said.

It's elegant in its simplicity. Yet at the same time, there's so much to strategize as you go through level per level.

Highly addictive, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. The casual game I've been searching for.

Hot damn. I cannot put my actual feelings for this game into words.

I bought this game knowing that there was so much hype surrounding it, so I had my expectations of course. I've had horrible experiences boarding any form of hypetrain, so I tend to hold my judgment off until I actually finish a game.

That being said, Pony Island is bloody genius.

DO NOT LET THIS GAME'S CHILDISH TITLE DECEIVE YOU.

I cannot explain more without spoiling the entirety of the experience, but I can guarantee that this game is absolutely fantastic at what it brings to the player. It's very unlike any other game I've played before.

It's a relatively short game, so you can finish it in a sitting or two. And with its low price tag, I would say that it's something on the Steam store that you CANNOT ignore.

Buy this game and play it. It deserves your time, money, and utmost respect.

this vn is weird. 10/10

Entered this game expecting a simple nostalgia trip.

Came out heartbroken beyond words.

"Goodbye."

10/10

I'd write an entire thesis about how much I loved playing this game if I had the time.

Emotions were flying everywhere. The atmosphere was superb. The music was refreshing. The game proves that you don't need time-bending powers to know that life really is strange.

Now one of my favorite coming-of-age pieces. I love this game to bits.
