    De todos os Resident Evil da "era moderna", esse parece ser o que mais se aproxima da ambientação da mansão Spencer e da sensação de vulnerabilidade que a trilogia inicial apresentava. Grande jogo

    Un juegardo. La 3DS echa humo con este juego. Imprescindible y ya casi descatalogado.

    I can´t believe how good this version of the game looks, the story and atmosphere returns to survival horror like the original resident evil games. it´s the perfect balance between action and horror that Capcom never accomplishes in modern Resident Evil games.

    Probably the most graphically beautiful game I've seen on 3DS, and I don't think I'll see any better. Capcom has always been the king of optimization for any hardware. I do not advise you to play it on home consoles or PC, this game was created specifically for the portable and it plays wonderfully there. On the big screen, this game will look too cheapy and short

    the best part of resident evil. The game uses the full potential of the console. Convenient controls, incredible graphics for such hardware, a serial plot allows you to quickly recall the entire plot, cool post-content that is as long as a storyline. 10/10

    Although some may see some glaring issues with the game, i'd like to say that it is the most graphically impressive on the 3ds, has incredible gameplay so enjoyable they gave it its own mode, one of the best atmospheric soundtracks, and an incredibly grabbing story. To call raid mode an arcade-y experience really undersells just how fun it is, and it adds a lot of extra play time.

Although some have accused the game of not really being a horror game, i found myself jumping at multiple points. I read a review that claims the final boss is too hard, and makes the game impossible to defeat. I did die multiple times at that encounter, but it never felt too overpowering, and with subsequent playthroughs of the campaign, it became like second nature. My favorite game on my favorite system. God bless Capcom.… Expand

    игра оставила только положительные впечатления. Хоррор и сурвайвл составляющие выдержаны хорошо. Есть легкий дефицит патронов, глотающие как губка воду враги, пару раз натравят скримеров, но благо игра этим не увлекается. В основном действия протекают на корабле. Атмосфера в игре выдержана не плохо. Но я знаю игру в этом жанре, где действия игры, так же протекают на корабле, ноигра оставила только положительные впечатления.

Но я знаю игру в этом жанре, где действия игры, так же протекают на корабле, но атмосфернее, игра называется Cold Fear (Cold fear кстати вышел почти одновременно с RE4, первую обвиняли в плагиате, в чем я сильно сомневаюсь. Несмотря на проср...й финал, игра мне очень и очень понравилась). Но нельзя сказать, что в этом плане Revelations хуже, она более "попсовая", хотя по части исследований, игра ближе именно к классике, а шутерная часть - родственник четверки. Игра не дает тебе ощущения, что находишься на корабле, хотя будет и качка местами, а в один момент корабль начнет тонуть и нам придется поплавать. Возможно все выше названное придирки, но в остальном, больше не увидел минусов. Игра понравилась. Особенно понравилось "сериальное повествование", почему в других играх так не делают, в играх для стац консолей? Это очень актуально для современного геймера, у которого между игровыми сессиями может 2-3 дня пройти, а то и больше. Для портатива это даже не критично, ведь портативка всегда с нами.

    В общем игру советую.    … Expand

    Got to admit, this is one great game. I was dissapointed that the controls are messed up as there is only 1 circlepad so that moving is a **** But the game is still good with a great plot and a long game for a 3ds and although it does have a circlepad pro support but the circlepad pro sucked.

    Score/Nota: 7.5/10

    The RE franchise has always been to my liking and that is why I gave an opportunity to this new delivery. Visually it is incredible, probably the most powerful games in the 3DS catalog, quite fluid except for a couple of exceptions. Another success of Capcom is to continue betting on the third person perspective since it gives more dynamism to the game as such, added to the impeccable art of the environment and the excellent sound arrangements that create the ideal atmosphere for this type of genre. On the other hand, the story goes from more to less, which is a shame since there were no times before where Jill Valentine was the protagonist, and that is that the story is getting longer and more unnecessarily, creating ridiculous plot-holes; added to this, the extra content of the game, like the different modes, are very uninteresting, which takes away the game's re-playability, eliminating the only truly interesting mode that was Mercenary Mode. In turn, and as it happens with several games of the 3DS that require a strong interaction with the control, shortly after playing, it will be incredibly uncomfortable.

    Although the story and the extra content of the game are very poor, at a playable level it is quite good, and at least here it tries to recover the essence of terror that the game had lost in its previous deliveries, we will see how Capcom continues in its future projects. 7.5/10

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    La saga RE siempre ha sido de mi agrado y es por ello que di una oportunidad a esta nueva entrega. Visualmente es increíble, probablemente de los juegos que más potentes del catálogo de la 3DS, bastante fluido salvo un par de excepciones. Otro acierto de Capcom es seguir apostando por la perspectiva en tercera persona ya que da más dinamismo al juego como tal, sumado al impecable arte del entorno y los excelentes arreglos sonoros que crean la atmosfera ideal para este tipo de género. Por otro lado, la historia va de más a menos, lo cual es una pena puesto que ya tiempos no había un RE donde Jill Valentine fuera la protagonista, y es que la historia se está alargando cada vez mas de manera innecesaria, creando ridículos agujeros argumentales; sumado a esto, el contenido extra del juego, como los diferentes modos, son muy poco interesantes, lo cual le quita re-jugabilidad al juego, eliminando el único modo verdaderamente interesante que era el Modo Mercenario. A su vez, y como pasa con varios juegos del 3DS que requieren una fuerte interacción con el control, al poco tiempo de jugar, será increíblemente incómodo.

    Aunque la historia y el contenido extra del juego sean paupérrimos, a nivel jugable está bastante bien, y al menos aquí se intenta recuperar la esencia de terror que el juego había perdido en sus entregas anteriores, veremos cómo sigue Capcom en sus futuros proyectos. 7.5/10    … Expand

    An amazing realease from Capcom reaches the 3ds, and how great it is. An exmaple of how games should be today: plenty of content, high replay value, and fun as hell. Although the story and the characters might not be the most interesting, the gameplay definetely stands up high. In Resident Evil Revelations, you will find a huge amount of weapons and a very strategic way to upgrade them.An amazing realease from Capcom reaches the 3ds, and how great it is.

Although the story and the characters might not be the most interesting, the gameplay definetely stands up high. In Resident Evil Revelations, you will find a huge amount of weapons and a very strategic way to upgrade them. You will have to go through an entire ship in the middle of the sea, where hope is almost gone, and will fight tons of creatures without making it impossible. Although, I warn you, RE Revelations is tough. Once you beat the game, you can also go to RAID MODE, where you can complete lots of missions, so you can unlock outfits and some other secret stuff. The graphics are probably the best on the 3DS, the music is good and it delivers atmosphere. If you are one of those who can only afford one game per year, THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU. RE Revelations is definetely not a return to the roots, but it is an outstanding game, and personally, I believe is better than any other RE Evil after RE4.
    + Neverending replay value.
    + Huge content.
    + Excellent presentation.
    + Raid Mode.
    + Challenging.
    + Lovely graphics.
    + Beautiful design and art.

    Overrated. Mostly praised for its graphics, it is a good game, but not that good. Impressive to play on the handheld, it has satisfying gameplay, decent story, good production values, but is short. Worth a single playthrough, though you are not missing much if you skip it.

    This game was my first Resident Evil experience. The first of many I hope. Best graphics on the 3DS and a great atmosphere all along the game play. The only problem is that the controls are nearly impossible to master on a regular 3DS

    A very great game, and the 3D effect and the touch screen add more elements of fun on this title. But same without the hardware power of Vita, this version is the best of all consoles. If the replay were better...the game deserve 9/10, easy. Great game, well done Capcom!

    Finally. A Resident Evil game with a good storyline, great controls, and the best atmosphere. Gameplay is great. I really liked the multiple perspectives. The story has unpredictable twists and turns. Perfectly placed jumpscares. Great diversity of enemies. One of the best 3DS games so far. RE:Revelations is a great step for Capcom, and a wake-up call to start fixing up the beloved RE franchise.

The horror aspect is there kind of, but Jill is pretty damn unstoppable if you get the hang of her dodge move and monsters tend to pop out and try to startle you from really obvious locations.

    Solid Resident evil game. Pushes the boundaries of 3ds almost everywhere where. Great old-school horror but that's hurt by some dull action sections but you may consider it successful crossbreeding of old-school horror and new-school action.

    Resident Evil: Revelations shows the potential that lies in Nintendos new handheld console. The story itself is masterfully told inepisodes, and the game has the best sound I've experienced on a 3DS sofar. The controls, however, seem a bit too stiff, but in a way thatalso enhanced the general claustrophobic atmosphere in the game.

    While survival-horror definitely isn't my best genre, Resident Evil: Revelations is easily one of the best 3DS games I've played to date. Just about any frustrations I've come across is due to my own lack of skill and experience with the franchise as a whole. If you're a Resident Evil fan with a 3DS, this is definitely one to pick up.
