Resident Evil 2 is a remake of the 1998 game of the same name. Unlike the 1998 game, which uses tank controls and fixed camera angles, the remake is an over-the-shoulder third-person shooter. Unlike the original game, players can now save their progress whenever they like inside safe rooms. However, there is an option to play Hardcore mode in which players will only be able to save by collecting and using the limited number of Ink Ribbons. Upon completing the campaign for the first time, players can then play through the 2nd Run as the other character where the story runs concurrently with the first playthrough. For example, several doors will already be found unlocked.

Why Are We Doing a Top 15 Puzzle Games List?

Puzzle video games are designed to challenge the player to solve puzzles using logic, spatial and pattern recognition, and sequence solving.

A puzzle intends to challenge and entertain anyone that is attempting to complete it. Puzzle video games do all of those things. They offer challenges designed to frustrate but give a sense of reward and accomplishment when completed.

Puzzle games are found in many genres, with many action, platform, and even RPGs offering puzzle elements to break or change the gameplay.

Puzzles can be a variety of challenges, including logical, physics-based, exploration-based, or even completed through trial-and-error.

Successful games that use puzzle elements use them as a way to extend gameplay or enhance gameplay. Games such as Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and Uncharted are examples of games that are not necessarily considered puzzle games but use them as a means to enhance the story and world in which the game resides.

Games considered to be puzzle games are successful due to their ability to challenge while still using the same mechanics consistently.

Games such as Lemmings, Candy Crush, Syberia, Broken Sword, Myst, and Portal are great examples of puzzle games that continue to challenge even though the gameplay and mechanics either don’t change or change very little.

Puzzles are found in almost every game now, and offer variety in gameplay, different challenges, high rewards, and can even give a sense of accomplishment. And isn’t that what games should be about?
