Navigating the RCPDвЂ™s suffocatingly dark corridors is never impossible, but it sure as hell feels like it at times.

Clearing a hallway of enemies is satisfying but expect previously cleared locations to replenish themselves full of zombies later in the story and, because, why not, you will probably get to see some lickers there, too. Every time I felt like I was getting a grip on the world I had been carelessly plopped into, some twist would shift my perspective. Even the early moments of the game are relentless, especially for someone who is not used to the design intricacies of this genre.

Find a few spare bullets sitting on that bench? ThatвЂ™s nice, you can keep them if youвЂ™d rather sacrifice a chunk of your health to the two zombies guarding the nearest save station. You are always given the chance to hold your own when faced against the fallout of the Umbrella Corporation, but Resident Evil 2 never once misses an opportunity to pull the rug out from underneath your feet.

Resident Evil 2 is not afraid to bring your worst fears to the forefront of your mind. So, with no prior knowledge of the original and mountains of stress, I persevered into the crumbling walls of Raccoon City as Leon S. A title many praised as one of 2019вЂ™s best games for only USD$15 on Black Friday? Honestly, who could pass that up? I wouldnвЂ™t shuffle into my second-ever Resident Evil game until a few weeks later, and I would be lying if I said I was not scared to do so. My presumptions aside, IвЂ™m not one to pass up a killer deal. Something about the feeling of helplessness that so many horror games have adopted this near-passed generation rubs me the wrong way I would like to have some power to fight back. I had only ever dipped my toes into horror, with my catalogue of spooky games having only consisted of the Dead Space franchise and Resident Evil 7 before this point. Making the time for any video game was a lost cause at this point, much less a game in a genre that I typically steer away from. Tackling these problems was an equation that I had not yet solved, and I surely did not have the time to learn. What sent me into the second real major downward spiral of my life is not important just know that I spent most of the lead up to this time either working or in my own, obsessive head. At the least, one is more likely to become aware of lifeвЂ™s daily roadblocks as age barrels toward us. In high school, I thought my world was in flames any time I failed a history test, but now, with a significant other and bills to pay, suddenly my well-being affected those around me. As you age, there is more to lose there are stakes to maintaining a happy, healthy life. I had dealt with sadness before, when I was younger, but the damn monster that many know as вЂdepressionвЂ™ had rematerialized in my brain, stronger than ever.

A lot of those same thoughts I mentioned earlier were actually what paraded around my brain at this time-I really was lost.

When I started the game in the frigid early days of December, life was getting the best of me. OK, maybe IвЂ™m being dramatic, but, as someone who always finishes the games they start, the fact that I almost quit the Resident Evil 2 remake halfway into its campaign is something I didnвЂ™t expect. X, these are the thoughts that occupy my mind. As I look back on the first time I met Mr. I wanted to be rid of this hell I found myself in. I started blaming myself as time progressed, as if there was anything in this world that I could have done to keep myself out of this situation. вЂњWhen will this end? Is this my life now?вЂќ Desperation quickly took hold of me like the hungry undead, and soon the loneliness began to kick in, too. With my heart always beating out of my chest, it felt like there really was no light at the end of the tunnel.
