The cutscene of the lady turning into the monster was incredible for the time.

IIRC this game its in some kind of IP Hell, which its why we got some shitty “The 3rd Birthday” instead of an actual 3rd entry.
Too bad because i absolutely loved both games, i should replay them soon, i know most of the second game secrets and endings.

I prefer the original over this one, it felt too much like resident evil.

I’m so glad that Parasite Eve 2 was the last game of the series. There’s no need to tarnish it with some other horrible game.

I recently went through Parasite Eve 1 and tried to play PE2, and I thought it was… not very good. The first one wasn’t flawless but it was intriguing, and atmospherically powerful. The 2nd one shits the bed with the gameplay and doesn’t hook you at all narratively.
And I mean FFS, the first game had full joystick controls and a turn-based gameplay with a real-time positioning element, and the sequel goes more action… with tank controls?? What the hell? I have never seen a sequel downgrade itself so hard like that.
The 2nd one was also much worse loading wise, changing to any other scenes/camera angle (this is a static-camera game with pre-rendered backgrounds, so you change a lot) takes over a second, a problem the first one, again, did not have at all.
I have 0 nostalgia, never heard about them before this year. First one holds up. Second one does not.
