![]() PE2’s story isn’t bad mind you if the goal was to provide a serviceable fanfiction, then mission accomplished, I guess. However, compared to PE2’s shadow organization creating ‘Artificial Neo-Mitochondria Creatures,’ the consequent underground labs, and the little girl plot device character, it’s hard to deny Resident Evil‘s narrative influences affected the sequel to a much higher degree. Parasite Eve was originally a buddy-cop horror story about a monster on the loose in New York City, and most of the game followed a cast of characters struggling to take it down and the effect the investigation was having on them. The resemblance shows through the game’s plot as well as its gameplay. ![]() Parasite Eve II is a bit controversial among fans of the series, with much of its criticism aimed at the game’s increased inspiration from the Resident Evil franchise. If you haven’t checked it out yet, we’d highly recommend you do so here. This article acts as a sort of a follow up to our previous retrospective article on the first Parasite Eve. I feel too often games get wrongly compared to Resident Evil or Silent Hill merely because those franchises are so foundational to the survival horror genre, but the comparison is warranted in the case of Parasite Eve II. To commemorate this occasion, I figured it’s time to take a closer look at the game’s sequel, Parasite Eve II. Twenty-one years, I still absolutely adore Square Enix’s foray into horror - Parasite Eve.
