More about Resident Evil 2
The press gave it 89; the people who bought it give it 97 percent. An 8-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 4,658 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.
