Resident Evil 2

Game Overview
Capcom released Resident Evil 2 for the Nintendo 64 in 1998, a time when the console was known for its colorful platformers and racing games. This port brought a tense, cinematic survival horror experience to the system, standing out among its peers with its moody atmosphere and detailed pre rendered backgrounds.You control either Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop, or Claire Redfield, a college student searching for her brother, as they navigate the zombie infested Raccoon City. The main objective is to survive the outbreak, solve environmental puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the viral disaster. Key mechanics include managing limited ammunition and healing items, exploring interconnected locations room by room, and solving inventory based puzzles to progress. The pacing is deliberate, often punctuated by sudden enemy encounters, and the difficulty comes from resource scarcity and unpredictable threats. It feels like a constant, careful balancing act between exploration and survival.
