From my biggest disappointment of 2019 to my personal game of the year. Resident Evil 2 remake is a testament to what can be done when you bring something old into the new generation, putting a fresh coat of paint on it and giving it a bit of polish.

What came with that, similar to its preceding title, Resident Evil 7, was a stellar achievement list which incentivised replayability. You’ll be looking at four separate story routes to speed-run, quick-step and get through without healing.

What becomes a more difficult task is upping the difficulty, which Hardcore Rookie/College Student require you to do.

Now, if we look at the achievement from a perspective of natural progression, you’d likely have gone through the game four times, then, if you’re an achievement hunter, in under 14,000 steps, without using the item box and without healing. From there, you’ll have unlocked an assortment of goodies to help you through your hardcore playthrough, making the increased damage and health of enemies and bosses a breeze.

Though, this is only so if you’ve played it through a few times and gotten said items, if not, it’s going to be a manic run from police station to sewers to science lab.
