Venture into the pop-up Raccoon City Police Headquarters set up on the show floor of New York Comic Con 2018, and you’ll be greeted by splatters and smears of crimson fake blood, mangled limbs, and throwback 90s decor. (When was the last time you saw a Gateway PC?) Capcom’s remake of the 1998 zombie horror classic Resident Evil 2 took everyone by surprise when it was first announced at E3 back in June, earning more than a few Best in Show plaudits in the process. Spend a bit of time with the game and you’ll realize its appeal is about more than nostalgia. RE2’s careful environmental design, challenging enemies and limited resources make it an anxiety-spiking thrill to play, no rose-tinted glasses necessary.

Capcom brought two demos of the game to NYCC. In the first, you play as Leon Kennedy, the rookie cop having the worst first day on the job you can possibly imagine. This comes from an early section of the game, as you’re getting your bearings around the police station, solving puzzles and piecing together the mystery of Raccoon City. Another, more advanced demo lets you step into the shoes of Claire Redfield at a later stage in the game, taking on a gigantic, shambling boss with a large moist eyeball glaring out of one shoulder.
