This part of the “Resident Evil 2” remake reminded me most of the original. It’s a puzzle-oriented element that quickly ramps up as players have to scan walls and hack conduits so they can exit rooms full of zombies or avoid a seemingly indestructible monster called Tyrant. Whereas Leon was reliant on gunplay, Ada uses a gadget that lets her track wires through walls and find power conduits. This part of “Resident Evil 2” highlights the differences between the two characters’ playstyles. Partway through the Leon chapter, he is injured and Ada takes over. It uses up the grenade or damages the durability of the knife, but it’s often worth it to conserve health. A nice wrinkle in the gameplay is that if players have a grenade or knife equipped and they are attacked by a zombie, they can stuff the zombie’s mouth with an explosive or stab it in the head with the knife. Players have to equip the grenades as a subweapon, which removes a knife or other weapon. Players can defeat it if they arm Leon with enough grenades, but it’s nerve-wracking fight. It’s a type of monster to give players nightmares and it almost requires players to use the blue herbs they find scattered throughout the stage. The undead are surprisingly tough and it take several bullets to put them down.įurthermore, he’ll encounter a horrifically mutated creature that spews out poisonous tadpole creatures. If they inch closer to them, they could run away and start again. Players have to shoot zombies in the head before they reach players and chow down on them.
With Leon Kennedy in the lead, the gameplay is focused on the classic survival-horror mechanics. It’s a classic premise for the series and one that puts players in a labyrinthine level where they have to fend off zombies while trying to Annette Birkin and her lab. After seeing the impact of the zombie outbreak on the populace, the two go into the sewers looking for a secret underground Umbrella lab. That was immediately noticeable when I picked up the demo and found Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong teaming up to escape the Raccoon City Police Department. It’s not just a visual upgrade with an updated combat system.Įvery element of “Resident Evil 2” seems to have been redone. Although the upcoming remake brought me to familiar territory, everything about the game was different. Everything I knew about “Resident Evil 2” wouldn’t help me here.
