Resident Evil 2 Remake

Capcom's 2019 Resident Evil 2 Remake reinvented survival horror for a new generation, earning a 91 on Metacritic and outperforming the average remake in genre history. Mr. X's relentless pursuit was a game-changer, with AI that tracks the player across 80% of the police station map, increasing tension exponentially. This entry is 20% shorter than Resident Evil 4 Remake but compensates with tighter puzzles and resource management. It directly influenced #1's design philosophy, proving that fewer resources can mean greater horror, and is faster than the typical survival horror in pacing.
