Resident Evil 2 Remake vs. Resident Evil 7
Winner: Resident Evil 2 Remake
Wow, did we seriously just give the win to Resident Evil 2 in every category? Yeah, I guess we did.
It’s important to note that both RE2 and RE7 are excellent survival horror games, and I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of future Resident Evil games being done in a first-person perspective going forward.
However, as great as Resident Evil 7 is, it just feels outclassed in almost every way by the remake of the best game in the series. Resident Evil 2 features quite possibly the best-designed levels in the entire series, complete with puzzles that can serve as actual brainteasers at times.
It’s tense in all the right ways, but never overstays its welcome, as the game knows exactly when it’s time to start allowing the player to feel a little more powerful. The over-the-shoulder perspective works well in RE2, giving players a new look at the memorable RPD.
Resident Evil 2 just has it all, making it the best game we’ve ever played in the Resident Evil series, and that’s why it takes the win.
But that’s just our opinion. Do you feel that Resident Evil 7 is a better horror game overall? Did we get it so unforgivably wrong? Let us know in the comments down below.
