Beneath the cheery surface is an inventive, dark, fourth wall breaking psychological horror that spins its story in directions I promise youll never see coming. Seriously this is not for the faint of heart.Resident Evil 2 (2019) | CapcomPS5, PS4Extra and PremiumPlay VideoReturning to the zombie-infested Raccoon City might have filled rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy and student Claire Redfield with fear, but the rest of us couldnt wait for the stunning remake to hit PS4 and PS5.
