Resident Evil 2 is a 1998 survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation. It is the second main installment in the Resident Evil series. The player controls rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield, who must escape Raccoon City after its citizens are transformed into zombies by a biological weapon two months after the events of the original Resident Evil. The gameplay focuses on exploration, puzzles, and combat; the main difference from its predecessor are the branching paths, with each player character having unique storylines, partners and obstacles.

Runs well on modern hardware.
