Fantastic mod one of the best i've played.
It's a decent mod, but the pathing is especially confusing, enemies can take far too many shots to take down, ammo is at a premium, and while health supplies are well distributed, it doesn't much matter when you get 3-4 fast moving zombies gang-munching you.
A few things I've noticed that are especially frustrating, that I just cheat my way past:
1) The other half of the Jaguar Stone vanishes into a hole when you enter the small sewer tunnel under the street. I can't figure out a way to get to it.
2) You need 1 more Small Key than you can easily find - one's on the Helipad after you get the Club Key, and one's in the "Guardian Place" (room 210) by the basement stairs. You need three.
3) The safe combo in the East Office. I can't seem to find it.
4) The card key to the Weapon Storage. I can't find that, either.
Criticisms:
-Reducing the Beretta's ROF to "normal handgun" rate really holds it back, especially compared to the other weapons, it makes things unbalanced. The Beretta with its usual enhanced fire rate should be swapped with the Browning HP to maintain "weapon progression."
-Lack of ammo. I just can't get past this one. I don't CARE how hard you want to make it, when you don't have enough ammo to take on Fast Zombies and Lickers, it makes the deaths cheap and the game not fun. I always hack in a ton more ammo (250 9mm rounds and 100 shotgun shells, and I still go Black on ammo?). Either increase the damage for the weapons, decrease enemy health, or add 3x more ammo per pickup. My personal recommendation is to rebalance the damage so that it's identical at all ranges - the range-to-damage mechanic is completely unrealistic to scale.
-Pathing. Add files or some other cue to tell players where to go. Having developed games myself, you must assume your player is very dumb, and plant clues accordingly. Also, make it either clearer that certain environments have changed, or reduce the "re-visit" times. Some is good, too much is frustrating.
Positives:
-Weapon Progression! I always liked the idea of slowly upgrading my arsenal over time.
-New Enemies! The "half Lickers" and "plant zombies" are especially radical and awesome.
-New Pathways! Going EVERYWHERE more than once and feeling like I'm combing over the map region is wonderful.
-Expanded Areas! I always felt the game accelerated too much after the RPD. Like, once you leave the station, it's a race to the end, no more taking your time and exploring. You did a good job of abating that, and making the whole game feel more "explorey."
-Chief Irons is MORE Creepy! You know what I mean, here. I always kinda felt that the Mail to Chris was shoehorned in, and Irons had just snapped.. now? You make him come off like a total predator, and this is now my headcannon. The special zombies you added as a hint to this, further cements it.
-RE2R Costumes! I like them all - except Claire's - better than the originals. Yes, Leon's "Classic '98" SWAT uniform is very unique, but his RE2R uniform is more realistic. Sherry's updated Private School uniform looks more Upper Class American than the Classic '98 outfit. I still prefer Claire in short-shorts and black shorts underneath, with the red vest and knife sheath, though.
All in all, this is a fantastic Mod that, I feel, is held back badly by its shortcomings. It could have been a thousand times better of an experience, but unless you're playing with Invincibility On, it's just frustrating to all but the most dedicated players.
This is such a well-made mod that reflects sophisticated skills of the modder!
This Mod is so well done that we could put it in the real game. This is for me the hardest experience on Resident Evil 2. In difficult it is really impossible, I am very proud to have succeeded in finishing this Mod with Leon and Claire in this difficulty. I also managed to finish the Zombie Crisis mode in Hard. A game within a game. 10/10 Bravo to all the designers of this Mod. A big thank you to you!
Fantastic
Amateur awkward design leads to cheap deaths and frustration. It's basically enemy spam and everything sped up by 100%. I'll give it props for being one of the earliest RE2 mods but there's no denying it's poor quality.
Esse mod é INCRÍVEL, COMPLETO e MUITO BEM PRODUZIDO.
Tem tudo o que qualquer fã de Resident Evil 2 gostaria de ver no jogo, como novas mecânicas, roupas, itens, uma jornada nova e muito mais.
O mod Overhaul aproveita ao MÁXIMO o que Resident Evil 2 pode oferecer de melhor, tanto no quesito gráfico quanto nos recursos.
Meus sinceros PARABÉNS seguido de uma boca aberta maior do que a da Kuchisake Onna (lenda japonesa... hehe) para o desenvolvedor do mod.
Tudo de melhor e você é SEM PRECEDENTES e MUITO TALENTOSO.
The modded models are really cool, specially Claire, Leon and Sherry. I don't know if it's just me but the new animations of Birkin 3 makes it quite creepy, I love it.
Both stories are amazing. It's great how modifications are pulled even further in Claire's story, THANKS to Komizo for a hard work. I don't wanna ruin the surprise for those who haven't played it but even details as Claire aiming the MP5 from the shoulder and the mayor's daughter are excellent. As expected it was very tough, but fairly hard, a satisfying experience, I felt threatened even by spiders and crows.
I totally agree with 'SomeRE' user, this is way better than the original.
Every fan of RE must play the Overhaul mod
very good
Absolutely amazing mod. Really shows the time and care that went into it. This is truly a labor of love, an absolute joy to play!
