Resident Evil 2

Developer: Capcom

Resident Evil 2 plunges players into a tense, slow-burn survival horror adventure where careful exploration, limited resources, and clever puzzle-solving matter as much as combat. Playing as Leon or Claire, you navigate the atmospheric, monster-filled corridors of Raccoon City and the police station, managing inventory, solving environmental puzzles, and facing harrowing boss encounters. Tank-like controls and fixed camera angles heighten suspense and demand patience, while branching scenarios and sparse save points reward cautious play. It’s a defining late-'90s experience that still delivers memorable scares and strategic challenge for retro fans.
