    Probably the best game on the 3DS or any platform in a long time. Amazingly executed. Anyone who gives it a score less than 90 either doesn't have a clue or is too stuck up. Amazing!

    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.

    Its not my favorite 3ds game or Resident Evil installment as the sequel I believe is better, however its a nice shooter for the 3ds library.

    Resident Evil Revelations is a poor attempt at returning the series to it's survival horror roots. From slow paced game play to the inability to see your own health bar, it's a mere spin-off that cashes in on the series' popularity instead of providing a fun filled experience.

    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

    I've beaten the game in four days. I remember not being able put it down until I am at the very end. At some point you totally forget this is a handheld console game. Graphics are awesome. It's just another great RE game

    Un bon jeu, qui en monture "jeu portable" est pas mal du tout. On retrouve une certaine "essence" Resident Evil, qui fait plaisir à voir (ambiance, musique, mise en scène). Mais on regrette que ce soit sur console portable que Capcom passe pour faire un RE (à sa sortie initiale) proche des premiers.

    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.
    - Besides Jill, there is no remarkable characters.
    - The story could have been better, less complicated and without Dante Alighieri.    … Expand

    5.5/10.
    While it was a fun experience to play with a friend the game (traded off after each chapter), why some of the episode parts were 5 minutes I couldn't tell you. While it was fun, tedious aspects of the game made it less fun. The scanning for items and enemies to get herbs felt like a chore. The location itself isn't much to write home about, a ship can only be so interesting. The    5.5/10.

The location itself isn't much to write home about, a ship can only be so interesting. The new characters are bland and pretty stereotypical, minus Jessica she gets some cool points for being a little different. The returning Chris and Jill are good, but nothing new. The game looks good and strange at the same time, like there's polish but too smooth, can't quite figure out what it is. But the story, oh the story is where it falters. An interesting concept at first with the efficient city, but we don't go there, for the most part, stuck on the boat. Why are you on the boat? Misleading backstabbing politics that you can see from a mile away. Resident Evil isn't known for amazing dialogue or VO work, but this is pretty bottom of the barrel. At one point the ship is blowing up, but then you're running on the upper deck trying to get away. Guy dies, somehow comes back to life, and somehow meets you, hurt, in another place on your way to another chapter....it's sloppy. Character motivations are also pretty stretched.
    Gun play is good and upgrades system I enjoyed, but it isn't enough to recommend this game to play.    … Expand

    I will talk about the Wii U version: I'm not a "true" Resident Evil fan, but I really enjoyed this game and I'm waiting for the pack of Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 for Switch!!

    Cuando has jugado ya a muchos juegos de esta saga revelations no te dice nada especial. Yo siempre me quedaré con la primera trilogía y el 4 para gamecube. Eso si, se deja jugar

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Best parts of survival action are horror moments and online cooperation. RE: Revelations show the potential of 3DS in full scale. [Feb 2012]

    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.
