Resident Evil 2 Review

For our main segment this week, we're talking about the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, an updated version of the 1998 game of the same name. You play through this survival horror game as college student Claire or rookie cop Leon, as Raccoon City is overrun with disgusting abominations! This week we talk about Rachel’s feelings about toggling the joystick, so much inventory management, map wizardry, illusive check marks, dressing for the job you want (i.e. Ada’s wardrobe), and relentless tyrants.

Our review of the Resident Evil Remaster (2015): https://utterlyunqualifiedgaming.com/episode-14-resident-evil/

It looks like per the "canon" ending, both Jill and Chris survive the events of RE1. And wow, the Resident Evil timeline is very messy. It looks like RE2 takes place a couple months (?) after the events of RE1, and RE3 takes place before  (and after?) RE2. Very confusing indeed.

Apparently Tyrant wears a trench coat as a power limiter and to help him "blend in". https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Limiter
