Games Like Resident Evil 2 (1998)

Resident Evil 2 from 1998 is a masterclass in tension and atmosphere that still holds up today. You step into the shoes of rookie cop Leon Kennedy or college student Claire Redfield as they fight their way through a city overrun by zombies and twisted creatures. The game is all about survival. You scavenge for limited ammo and healing items while solving puzzles and making tough choices about what to carry. The dark hallways of Raccoon City Police Department feel real and claustrophobic. Every creaking floorboard or distant moan ramps up the fear. You have to manage your inventory carefully and think ahead because running out of supplies means death. The music swells at just the right moments and the sound design makes you jump at every shadow. It's not just about fighting zombies. It's about the dread of not knowing what's around the next corner. This game made horror feel personal and unforgettable.
