[XB1] Resident Evil 2 $21.98 @ Microsoft Store

80

Given the announcement of RE4 coming out in 2023, thought I'd point people towards one of the greatest video game remakes, Resident Evil 2.

It's the same setting as the original, but with an expanded story and stronger horror focus. The RE Engine runs well on low-end hardware so it will look better than usual for the Xbox One.

Graphics review.

The game can be replayed a second time with the other character option, with a b character story option. The game can be beaten in 6hrs if you aren't interested in exploration to unlock hidden equipment.

If you need more convincing, there is a free demo.

Also: Resident Evil 2+3 is $33.98


For those who are willing to jump thru a few hoops to save some money, I just bought RES2 Deluxe Argentinian for $12.25 AUD (8 EUR) after paying in Euro. The Argentinian code isn't supposed to work on my Australian account, but after using the 6-month free VPN from KeepSolid, connecting to an Argentinian server and then going to https://redeem.microsoft.com/ and waiting the 45 minutes for each page to load, I was able to add the Argentinian code to my AU Xbox account.

Some of the cheaper banks like Up & Macquarie don't have excess fees for other currencies, they charge the standard MasterCard exchange rate.

This is something I also did with The Witcher 3 GOTY deal from a few months back, stacking up a few cheap copies that are going to be upgraded to Series X for free soon. RES2 will get a free upgrade as well.
