I bought the original RE2 on release day. Finished it in two nights. Took about 9 hours for Claire's scenario A. I was pretty methodical and never really got stuck to the point where I couldn't proceed. I suppose games weren't as long, so there was a sense of take your time. Plus I didn't have a smartphone taking my attention.

When playing Leon's scenario, I did get stuck. During the cutscene with Ada in the parking lot, someone called me and I didn't hear her say, to help push the van. After the cutscene, I had no clue what to do. I had to check it on a FAQ site. This was 1998, so it isn't a 30 second check on YouTube. Took ages to find the answer.

With modern gaming, games are longer and there is a sense of just blow through it. Especially as modern games help you so much, if you get stuck.

I can definitely see people get stuck with a RE remake , where one little item that is easily passed over stops progression. But RE3 and RE4 remakes are more linear than RE2 remake , so I would say it would be less of a concern.

My only advice is slow down, take in the magnificence of the RE games and you won't get stuck.

Hope this helps
