Best Metacritic Games of January 2019
1) Resident Evil 2 (91)
More than twenty years since Resident Evil 2 first released, Capcom’s remake finally launched and is the highest rated game of January 2019.
It’s a phenomenal remake of what was already an excellent survival horror game. The upgraded version of Raccoon City and the police station look unbelievable, the new camera setting makes the game feel more modern, and it’s terrifying throughout.
It keeps the stylings of the late 90s original, including the enjoyable puzzles and cheesy story, but makes everything feel like an advancement of the Resident Evil series.
The different enemies (especially Mr. X) keep you on your toes, not only when it comes to scares but how you’re exploring the world. It’ll be interesting to see how the best aspects of this remake and 2017’s Resident Evil 7 are combined as the series moves forward.
Not only is Resident Evil 2 the best remake we have ever seen, but it’s also one of the best survival horror games ever released.
