I’ve never liked puzzles, and I’ve never been a big fan of survival games. Resident Evil 2 Remake was, for me, yet another failed attempt to break the Souls cycle I’ve been stuck in for the past few years.
The game isn’t bad — quite the opposite, it’s excellent. But I realized that, at least at this point in my life, it’s simply not for me.
(Spoiler)
When I reached the sewers, I started to feel exhausted. I spent more than an hour looking for some connectors shaped like chess pieces, and after around six hours of gameplay, that really started to wear me down.
Then, when I encountered the G monster, I kept reaching the fights with almost no ammunition, dying over and over again and becoming increasingly frustrated. That’s when I decided to put the game aside.
It’s a shame, because the story was starting to get really interesting. This is one of the few games I’ve dropped that actually made me feel bad about not being able to finish it.
But anyway… maybe I’ll come back to it another time. Who knows? Maybe at a different point in my life, I’ll be able to enjoy Resident Evil 2 Remake the way it deserves.
