20 Best Video Games Of 2019

3. Resident Evil 2 Remake

Setting a new standard for remakes, Capcom revisiting a notable highpoint in their legacy sees them making gaming history all over again.

Because they didn't just go back and reskin things in 4k, a la Crash, Spyro, CTR and Medieval. Instead, this is the corridor crawling isometric delights of the original RE2, done through the Resident Evil 4 mould.

Over-shoulder aiming, beloved item-based progression that forces you to revisit and analyse every nook and cranny to progress, even RE2 Remake's map keeps you locked on what to do next.

Multiple campaigns from Leon and Claire's perspectives keep things fresh, and that's without mentioning the Resident Evil 3: Nemesis-teasing tech of Mr. X - a lumbering, indestructible menace you can never truly defeat.

After so many years of tonal experimentation and one deviation into first-person horror, Resident Evil 2 Remake is Capcom showing why they're one of the best developers in gaming history.
