Resident Evil 2
In Resident Evil 2 you survive a Raccoon City police station full of zombies, while a giant in a coat and hat walks the corridors after you. His name is Mr. X. In the 1998 original he showed up only in the second campaign; in the 2019 remake he hunts you already in the first.

The developers admitted they never expected players to love their stalker this much. He soon became a meme himself, and his heavy footsteps scare you even when he is out of sight.
Capcom built Leon's and Claire's faces from scans of real models.
There are two campaigns, as Leon and as Claire, and after the first a "2nd run" tells the same story from the other side. If you dislike retracing your steps, note that some reviewers complained about running down corridors you have already cleared, and said that by the second or third meeting Mr. X annoys more than he scares. Players leave 97% positive out of 160,320 reviews; critics give it 89 on Metacritic. By our Recommended Score it is #34 of 4,736 games.
The remake sold over 10 million copies, more than the original, and Capcom went on to remake Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4. Liked it? Try the Resident Evil 4 remake, where fear turns into action, and Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, where the main series first went first-person.
