[Griffin576]

Scariness is all down to perception. I like the thrill in this game personally. Some parts are scary, especially for the first time as you don't know what to expect.
I recommend watching someone play a small snippet to get a feel for the game.
But the game is highly worth it in my opinion.

I often broadcast my games so if you ever want to see something let me know. Same for if you're ever stuck etc etc

I've felt like Resident Evil has always been more about "Panic Moments" than a consistent sense of dread.
Situations where you're suddenly faced with a serious problem and it's not immediately clear how to best deal with it, or when somehting you think is going to work doesn't quite go as you thought it would and you have to improvise, quickly.

Resident Evil 2'19 does this really well.

This game has more gore than scare. It's scary because of difficulty, usually for new players.

[LiuBao]

would say the game is moderate in horror but later on in the game it gets less scarier in my opinon

[Jamiboy]

Here I am 45minutes in and contemplating if I wanna refund or not. It's very scary and full of jump scares. If you are asking the question then probably it is scary. Don't know about you, but I personally don't like horror genre at all. Just wanted to try this one since I played this game when it originally launched on playstation at my friends house.

Well . . .
RE4 you are like Chuck Norris beating down the crap out of a bunch of ragdolls and you can find ammo everywhere anywhere you need and want all the time (if you explore and dont just go missing shots all the time).
RE2 Remake is a survival horror that forces you to run through zombies and other enemies to save your ammo (but still you can find ammo needed to kill everything if you explore properly for scavenging and dont just go wasting bullets a lot) but the core thing is to dodge stuff not to kill everything.

]In case you dont want to read some spoilers, just skip it:
In case you dont want to read, just skip it The most scary moments are jumpscares of enemies next to your face or you hearing Mr X stomping around and you dont know exactly where he is or when he will show up (probably on the worst situation like where you already have a licker in front and 2 zombies behind or when you are at a dead end already with a licker at you . . . or some even worst situation).
So yes, to avoid this kind of situation, learn the area and what zombies and lickers you have to kill to make your life easier with Mr X around and just dont waste ammo on Mr X In case you dont want to read, just skip it
Learn the game and there wont be anything scary at all, but the first times you play it probably will be some jumpscares and dangerous situations, yes

scariest thing to happen to me was i was fleeing Mr X, lickers, and zombies, and X decided to throw a licker which smacked into the wall in front of me as a ragdoll.
I think he just clipped into a dead licker and it glitched but it freaked me out

It has it's freaky moments but nothing too wild and crazy. A few jump scares, creepy atmosphere, sense of desperation.

If you want to dial it up to 11; install the 1st person mod, then you get a Alien: Isolation atmosphere thing going on with the Resident Evil 2 setting. Highly recommended!

This with 1st person mod would give you an Alien Isolation atmosphere :D

Mildly scary. Subjective to each person.

It has scary (jumpscare) moments from time to time, but I wouldn't say it's a full fledged horror game with a lot of jumpscares. It's the atmosphere, the constant unease, the knowledge that you could die at any moment and that you're being followed and any wrong move could get you killed. That's why it's "survival" horror. Personally, I dislike horror games that are just trying to jumpscare you as much as possible, I much prefer the constant uneasiness I get playing RE titles.

It's close to the Silent Hill games, but this one is more action-based while Silent Hill is more about the story-telling and the journey or so to speak.
