The date January 25th is forever etched in the hearts of Resident Evil fans. It was in 2019 that gamers had the opportunity to relive one of the greatest classic games on the PlayStation One, but now in the form of a remake: Resident Evil 2.
Five years later, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield’s adventure through a deserted Raccoon City is firmly established in the gaming universe across all industries. According to updated data, the remake became the best-selling game in the history of the franchise, selling 13.1 million copies.
Moreover, the game received almost unanimous reviews, with gameplay, visuals and character design being some of the most talked about aspects. Positive reviews led to the game receiving a score of 91 on Metacritic and being awarded a “Must Play” title.
Happy fifth anniversary, Resident Evil 2! In 2019, a revitalized Raccoon City welcomed a rookie cop and a college student, neither of whom had any idea of the nightmare they were about to endure. Share your memories of returning or the first time you came to Raccoon City.
