    I seldom play horror games because I get scared easily and when I do play I usually do not last long. The big exception to this rule Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

The big exception to this rule Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It is a horror game, but not in the normal alone-in-the-dark kind of way. The game has you guide two couples through the story. Which is a bit less scary. This could disappoint horror fans, as isolation is a cornerstone in any horror story, but it allows squeamish people like me to play it. Perhaps one can say that it isn't a real horror game?

    Revelations 2 strongest part is probably the team system. It should allow the team members to be played by different players in a sequel, but in this one one is controlled by the player and the other by the computer. You can switch between the two at will and you have to, as it will help overcome obstacles. You can also give the other member commands. Each member has certain strengths that you can use to the teams advantage.

    The first couple is Claire and Moira. Claire is the older of the two and the fighter. She gets to handle the weapons, such as the pistol and shotgun. Moira is a teen and has some special abilities. She can blind adversaries with her torchlight and has a crowbar that she can use for bashing attacks and followup attacks.

    The other couple consists of Barry and Natalia. Barry takes the role Claire has and is the fighter. Natalia, a child of around twelve has special abilities in that she can sense danger, spot treasure and see invisible enemies. She can't fight so Barry has to do all the fighting, but she can tell him where to shoot.

    The trick is to have the members of a couple work together. Especially Natalia's ability to see invisible enemies will be important.

    Each couple finds itself on the same forlorn island that used to be operated by the Soviets until it was abandoned to the local populace. After a while a group of people representing a company showed up to ostensibly operate the mine. But the inhabitants started to get suspicious when people started to disappear or change. The island itself eventually became dangerous as evil creatures start to roam around.

    Claire and Moira are the first on the island because they are kidnapped and locked up in a prison. They manage to escape and try to flee the island but find that the only way to get away is to find the one who is in charge. The path to freedom leads through the heart of danger.

    Barry arrives six months later to find Moira, his daughter after she has send out an emergency broadcast. When he sets foot on the island he encounters Natalia. Not knowing what to do with her, he takes her along, and he soon finds out that she can help him with her special abilities.

    The nice part in the game is the interaction between the two members of a couple. Especially that between Barry, as a replacement father, and Natalia. Claire and Moira act more like friends. Time is spend on making this connection believable. Another is the one that links Barry with Moira.

    The progress over the island is less impressive. There are various dangers, felt more keenly because of the lack of ammunition, especially by the first couple. There some traps, puzzles and boss encounters, nothing really surprising when you think of it, but coupled with the team system it works nicely. The narration isn't top notch for a book or a movie, but for a game it is good.. An additional factor that makes this installment better is that the movie has a different atmosphere as it's direct predecessors. It more resembles the earlier creepy resident evil installments than the action oriented later ones.

    The lowdown: Resident Evil Revelations 2 isn't a very remarkable game, but with it's team work mechanism, creepy mood and more story based angle allows for a much needed revitalization of the Resident Evil series. It shows a possible way to go, but it depends Capcom to take that route. Will it improve on this or will it take another road entirely? It remains to be seen.

    3rd person zombie shooter with some pretty mild puzzles but it's a fun game regardless. Occasional boss battles, occasional stealth moments, worthy of a 2nd play through also

    Extremely short game. Maybe 4-5 hours to play all the way through.

    The controls and camera are difficult to deal with, the game stutters frequently.

    The game itself, never really lives up to the resident evil mantle in my opinion, and just isn't much fun.

    I'd recommend waiting for a package deal where you can buy all the episodes at once.

    A game that has no coop because the PC is a superior device, according to CAPCOM. This game causes sttutering, a small bit random crash to desktop. But, even without coop, you can pay for useless DLC. A good game, solid alone gameplay, was just not good in the PC. AI of second player is a mess, you will dislike it a lot.

    Can't finish the game, due to a bug in the final episode. (can't move my char in a certain boss fight)
    Not going to restart a whole episode, just to check out if it's bugged again at the same place.

    So far the game was OK until that point the game was bugged.
    By far not the best Resident Evil, but also no the worst...

    But I can't recommend a game that prevents me of finishing it...

    As a co-op game it sucks. There's no online co-op so you're forced to play on the same PC with 2 controllers. This wouldn't be a problem if the split-screen wasn't such a horrible eye-sore.

    As a singleplayer experience it's actually an ok game. Gameplay is fun most of the time. I'm glad the laser pointer is back. The story starts out good, holds your interest for the first few episodes,

This games progression & atmosphere feel more in the vein of RE4/5 and not the horrible later outings like RE6/Racoon City. However it is obvious the production value & feeling of being part of something bigger isnt there like it is in RE4/5/6, the story is a much more down to earth version with really minimal twists.

    The 4 episodic format feels sadly like a poor excuse from Capcom at gathering in money in a different way, its not well balanced at all in its length like the episodes from RE5 or 6 which felt just right for people to end their game session, this game really needed a extra episode or some message popup when arriving at a new long section of the game like for example "The Sewers" or something. The episodes are way too long on episode 2,3 & 4 especially the ones with Barry/Natalia.

    Gameplay alternates between and stealth quite often and actually gives you the feling of conserving ammo unlike RE6 which messed that part up. However the stealth mechanics in this game are rather weak and only really adds to slowing the game down way too much too often along with the re-arrival of one of the worst implementations in the RE Revelations games which is the "Genesis Scanner" from RE:R1 which had your character scanning walls and floors of cleared areas for items. This time its there in a slighlty lighter form by switching your character but is still a weak and annoying gameplay element due to not only taking away from the pace of the game but also making you feel like you are hoarding because you will use it in a game where you might be afraid the game doesnt give you enough ammo and might have to restart a episode & need the BP points in the game from jewels you find this way to upgrade your character throughout the game.

    The core gameplay revolves around the switching between your 2 characters in each episode. It really screams co-op if you want to go through the game by yourself sadly due to many annoyances. First of all getting caught by enemies usually locks you up often with their moves which really infuriates you towards your AI partner and secondly the controls are just not very intuitive at all, and with 2 characters to manage it really feels like a artificial way of Capcom to implement panic moments and tension by relying on slow & poorly implemented controls. You never really ever throughout the game feel in control of your actions due to this. Im all in for a 2nd partner in the newer RE games as the dialogue between them and their environments add to the atmosphere and story, but the partner controls should have been left to the AI in singleplayer imo & for people playing it in Co Op.
    This is sadly where i feel the RE: Rev. games fail, the partner controls are more of a pacekiller & an annoyance rather than giving you a feel of exploration and immersion it just grows old very quick looking at a barrel at a corner to see if something will glint that you can pickup all the time.

    Overall i can only recommend this game if youre going to play co-op, it is just way too slow alone with the partner mechanic, stick to the main series for the solo experiences imo. The story albeit easy to follow does idd feel like its been done before in the series and doesnt add much new to the series. The production value and variation feels cheap, there really isnt any surprises, its all the same type of areas you are accustomed to in the RE games with sewers,labs & construction areas. The enemy variation is surprisingly low and weak, theres like 5-6 types of common type of enemies throughout the entire game which really makes it feel like this game was quickly done and covered in its episodic format so people wouldnt notice these things. Theres only a few bosses and they require minimal wit and tactic which is really dissapointing as the 3D RE games usually require you to use timing and your environment often against the bosses. In this game they really only require you to move around all the time and shoot them to expose their weak points. The last boss in the game especially is action wise dissapointing, it barely does anything against you and just wanders around the level waiting for you to take it out of its misery.

    Overall i think its a decent entry to the series after the abonimation that was RCity & Re6 but it is also a game that indicates clearly that Capcom has lost their way and dont really know how capture the control and feel RE4 & 5 had, it feels like a mishmash between poor stealth elements and bad unintuitive controls to create fear & panic, whereas RE4 & 5 was all about the exploration & immersion of the new environments and encountering new types of enemies along with great cinematics and dialogue. This just feels subpar if you have played either of those.

Within 10 minutes of Rev2 you see more interesting and varied enemies than in the entirety of Rev1. The audio was also night and day, the voice actors did a great job in Rev2, and the sound in general was top notch, the guns sounded meaty and the enemies were frightening. The visuals were also massively improved which is to be expected, but it was appreciated, the cut scenes looked especially good. As for the gameplay it was similar just refined, movement felt far less clunky, and I really liked how the partners were treated this time around.

    El juego me parece totalmente recomendable, si te gusta la ambientación 'de miedo' claro está.

    El escenario de juego es de ambiente tétrico, por así decirlo, una isla en estado de abandono, donde los enemigos oson monstruos o dementes victimas de experimentación semejantes a zombis (capcom los llama afligidos, que parecen estar en estado de putrefacción)

    La historia viene a llenar huecos en la saga de RE, para empezar, en RE:5 se menciona explicitamente acerca de 'una isla del sur' donde alguien conocido por Albert Wesker 'prosigue con determinados experimentos'.

    Pues este juego desgrana esas anotaciones descubiertas en RE:5.

    El modo campaña se desenvuelve con dos duos de protagonistas, cada cual con una habilidad diferente, lo que resulta en tener que saber cuando conviene más uno u otro (....)

    El juego recupera el factor 'dosificación' de los items (munición, hierbas etc) porque estos no abundan (a diferencia de RE:6 donde resultaban excesivos) asi que conviene no disparar más de la cuenta o no curarte 'demasiado'. Se recupera también el compartir los items con el compañero (como en el RE:5).

    El juego invita a explorar tranquilamente porque nunca se sabe por donde podrá salirte un enemigo, y además en ocasiones es importante no ser descubierto. Hay que decir que el juego no abusa de este factor.

    Por otro lado el juego es a mi juicio muy rejugable.

    Por un lado tiene dos finales en el modo historia, y esto depende de una determinada decisión que tomemos en el juego.

    Aparte de ser rejugable por el interés en ver ambos finales, también hay recompensas por descubrir determinados secretos distribuidos a lo largo del mapa (emblemas, dibujos en paredes, o 'bichitos')

    Entre las recompensas, desde modelos 3D de los protagonistas, desbloqueo de trajes, wallpapers, documentos con información complementaria al juego de los mismos protagonistas u otros que no aparecen en este pero pertenecen a la saga (que ligan argumentalmente este juego entre el RE:5 y el RE:6, recordemos que argumentalmente Revelarions 2 se situa entre estos dos juegos ANTES del RE:6)

    Acabar el modo historia, además te recompensa con modos extra de dificultad.

    De inicio tienes, facil, normal y superviviente, y a estos se añaden el modo SIN SALIDA (No Hope) y invisible y contrarrelog.

    Además del modo historia, hay un modo extra llamado MODO ASALTO. En este modo vas acumulando puntos de experiencia y dinero, donde se premia la supervivencia con un nivel inferior al de la IA, lo que lo hace más dificil aún. El reto es llegar al nivel 100.

    Este modo también ofrece cooperativo online.

    Técnicamente, el juego ofrece una experencia de hasta 1080p/60fps estables.

    Los gráficos, sin destacar como si se tratase de una AAA (superproducción) porque no lo es (incluso de salida el juego era barato) están francamente bien.

    Todo tiene un aspecto buscadamente 'sucio' (no todo, claro) e incluso la imagen tiene un granulado propio de las películas en celuloide que aportan una ambientación más siniestra. Muy bien en este sentido. (motor gráfico es el clásico de CAPCOM MT Framework)

    Por último mencionar el sonido. Muy impactante jugar si es posible con un home cinema 5.1 o 7.1, el juego cobra otra dimensión.

    Totalmemte en castellano (puedes elegir también inglés, francés, alemán o japonés) tanto en doblaje como subtítulos.

    BSO, como suele ser tradición en estos juegos de CAPCOM, la banda sonora es literalmente de película. Muy buena, bien distribuida según la acción y apetece escuchar.

    Mi veredicto es muy positivo. (Nota:575.9 hrs on record)

    Do not.

    Honestly I think this game is slightly above the original Revelations. I love the gaps it fills in in the universe, and I love all the new characters that get introduced. Some of the areas are very atmospheric and feature music that sets the mood for the creepy atmosphere almost perfectly. However, this aspect is spoiled in the Vita version due to sound compression. There's also set dressing that's missing in that version that I think ads a lot to the overall experience. Sadly, there are still some dumb moments that take me out of the immersion personally. It's not quite Resident Evil 4, but it's damn close.

    The gameplay here is some of the best the series has to offer, and it accents this game's Raid mode perfectly. While a lot of level design assets get recycled over and over again in Raid mode, the enjoyable gameplay loop makes it fun to grind despite the repetition. Having the game connected to ResidentEvil.Net and being able to participate in events and reap the rewards also makes the grind less painful (Something the Vita version completely lacks.)

    Overall, Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a great game in it's own right, but do not play the gimped Vita port. If you're looking for an intense Horror experience, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a great action game with heavy Horror elements, this is for you.

    A hooked story that varies a bit the dynamics of the saga bringing a new virus that, this time, is interesting: the Virus-T Phobos .
    The appearance of that character finally reveals some unresolved secrets.

    Respite to the gameplay, the camera is not so annoying and the animations have improved a lot, but the gunplay still does not feel good at all.
    Still, it works well and it's very funny.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In general, the plot was interesting and even, almost to the last part of the game, intriguing. Even when the intrigue subsides and everything becomes clear, it is still interesting.
    But this is where the positive aspects of the game end and disappointments begin:
    ...
    I didn't like the skills system: for me it was almost useless and not interesting. You play for 4 characters and the system is the same for everyone: + 10% damage when crouching, and you play the whole game on the cocks ... + 10% damage on the 1st shot from switching weapons, and you "spin the roulette wheel of your arsenal" for the whole game... +10 % brick damage, + 10% pry bar damage, + 10% knife damage. And so on, and so on ... and in the end you do not get to the most interesting skill, because everything was pulled over by the mediocre ones.
    I didn't like the fact that a lot of table boxes or vertical ones are simply empty, and a lot of loot drops are experience stones, not ammunition when there are 2-3 bullets left after the next boss or a crowd of enemies. By the way, yes, TOO much ammo is spent on some bosses in the game, it's not even just survival game-play, but an exaggerated complication by sucking the player's ammunition.
    A little girl drags iron boxes - this is laughing through tears for an adequate setting of the plot.
    I was pissed off by frequent lags during attacks or enemy aperients, and endless end credits that can't be skipped at the end of the game.
    This game is designed exclusively for co-op, although you can switch characters. In solo it is extremely annoying, constant switching, and the constant need to look for hidden objects with that second character.
    ...
    I was very disappointed with the last episode.
    1) A piece of a tower fell on the girl (not just a little crushed, but huge blocks fell on her head), but in a good ending she just scratched her leg ... sh*t, because of such a concrete blow, there would be only a wet blood spot from her, what a stupidity?
    2) Barry - a tough "bearded lumberjack - survivalist" by inner nature, suddenly loses his bone spine when he needed to make the last shot at the one who will send the whole World into the zombie abyss, just because this monster moved into a little girl's body. I despise such spineless characters in games/films/books.

    For all RE lovers this game will be interesting. For other than fans - no.

    Pros:
    - Old characters: Clair and Barry.
    - New story, simple gameplay, fast, not demanding.
    - Controls are smooth, camera is fine.
    - Two different timelines.

    Cons.:
    - Episodic approach. Annoying to buy the game piece by piece. It should be abandoned once and for all.
    - Game design is pretty poor.

    The forced camera turns are really annoying. Mouse movement is generally poor.

    Even on a new, high end PC in 2020 there are many parts where the game will lag/skip when an enemy shows up and/or starts to attack, and it gets you killed. The d3d9.dll file did not fix this. Neither did the launch options. They may have made it even worse. Has 4 episodes (as short as chapters) within the

    Has 4 episodes (as short as chapters) within the same game. Apparently you have to buy each one. Definitely not worth it I would say, but even if you wanted to I don't see a way to do it. The "online store" option doesn't work. Says "failed to acquire data". Oh, I see on Steam you can buy them for $6 each. No thanks.

    Resident Evil é uma das minhas franquias favoritas, entretanto, o Resident Evil Revelations 2 até tem uma história razoável, mas se tem algo que não combinou e não vai combinar com Resident Evil é dividir o jogo em episódios/capítulos que começou lá no RE4, mas ainda, vc consegue manter o interesse no game pq segue sem recapitular o que aconteceu no ep. passado, é um prelúdio do cap.Resident Evil é uma das minhas franquias favoritas, entretanto, o Resident Evil Revelations 2 até tem uma história razoável, mas se tem algo que não combinou e não vai combinar com Resident Evil é dividir o jogo em episódios/capítulos que começou lá no RE4, mas ainda, vc consegue manter o interesse no game pq segue sem recapitular o que aconteceu no ep. passado, é um prelúdio do cap. seguinte e segue o jogo. Agora se tem algo que irrita profundamente no 'Revelations' é ouvir toda hora q vai entrar no jogo ' Previously on blablabla'. Chega a ser chato, fora os defeitos técnicos, talvez a única coisa boa seja o gameplay que melhorou muito do 6 que foi um desastre, mas ainda não salva Resident Evil Revelations 2. Os gráficos para um jogo que é 2015 tem cara de jogo de inicio de gen passada, só com um Reshade que o jogo fica digno de jogar com um bom gráfico.

    Espero que se a Capcom continuar na cronologia do RE: Revelations, que seja mais próximo do que foi o Resident Evil 2 de 2019, direto e reto, separando as campanhas de cada personagem que possa aparecer no jogo e sem a porcaria dos capitulos, que seja um jogo COMPLETO, ao contrário do que é no RE: Revelations 2.

    Só tenho esse game pq sou muito fã da franquia Resident Evil, mas não dá pra dar joinha nesse jogo por conta disso e da história clichê, mas razoável, o Revelations 1 é chato, mas dá pra jogar, o 2 é bem arrastado, achei o jogo bem tranquilo relacionado aos outros, mas essa parada de episódios e a chamada no estilo série de TV ao iniciar o game é chato demais. Só não consegue ser pior que o Resident Evil 6, nem incluo o Operation Raccoon City pq aquele foi feito pela finada Slant Six Games, fora os outros Spin Offs como Umbrella Corps e cia.

    Só compre se vc for muito fã assim como eu e se tiver uma BOA promoção.

    A CAPCOM ainda estava em um período de transição até o excelente Resident Evil 7 que salvou a franquia. Que o Revelations 3 tome o mesmo caminho e histórias mais sólidas sem aquele clima de malhação que dominou o RE6, RE: Revelations 1 e 2.

    Contrary to others I prefer this one to RE: revelations 1, it has better enemies and boss fights and they finally showed some creativity (of course some of it copied from TLOU), at last i'm gonna say the atmosphere of the whole game was more realistic and more horrifying.

    To the features of the game, you can add interaction between the characters, namely switching between them. You will often have to interact with many parts of the "puzzles" using both characters.

    The game is great, I am satisfied with everything. There is even an online mode in which you can choose and pump several main characters of the game. Pass there missions in solo or in co-op. The game itself is divided into episodes.

Man sieht halt jede Map drei Mal hintereinander, in ziemlich kurzer Zeit.

    First of all, as a previous RE Revelations it is different branch of RE universe. Once you get used to it it's really catchy gaming. Story line is a little bit **** but playing for Barry and "the" girl is worth it.

    Despite its obvious tight budget, Revelations 2 is a much better game than the last offering in the main series, Resident Evil 6.
  3. Capcom doesn’t fund Revelations series properly, so Revelations 2 at times looks too old-fashioned and underpolished, – yet it still manages to be sufficiently tense, difficult and interesting for a series’ fan. [May 2015, p.66]
