Revelations adapts the pre-rendered titles' defining traits to the modern RE, bringing back the series' name to a more grounded state, and actually knows what it wants to be this time: a survival-horror game that focuses on the atmosphere. Revelations reinforces this in the earlier hours of the campaign, where the player is greeted by distant eerie sounds, dark corridors, and the occasional jump scare that's done so effectively due to tension build-up. Some of the scariest parts of the game are the paths leading to the bosses because you can hear their cries echoing the hallways, either laughing from the thrill of the hunt or desperately crying for help. The tension does slow down during the latter half of the game, but the way leading there has been consistent in tone and quality.

    Revelations uses an episodic structure to move the plot forward. This was done by the developers because "the game needed to be suitable for playing on portable hardware,"[web.archive.org] regarding the the original 3DS release. The 12 episodes featured in the game contain different scenarios from the perspective of three playable characters and their partners, all contributing small pieces of information and some backstory for the grand finale. While the game starts and ends exactly how a Resident Evil fan expects it too, this has got to be the most complicated series entry to date because there are a lot of character motivations to factor in, and the most important plot points are shown so poorly, with little explanation on why things happened the way they happened; Revelations isn't as straightforward as the games before it so some time is needed to fully grasp the story.

    Overall, a good game and a great entry to the RE franchise. It retains the B-movie feel that the rest of the series is known for, and the gameplay combines the best of both worlds to deliver a solid experience. Definitely a must-have for the RE fan.

    And there you have it.    … Expand

    Resident Evil Revelations is a third person shooter. Resident Evil Revelations suffered from boring underwater sections and below standard graphics. But Resident Evil Revelations' flaws do not take away from all of the good things it has to offer, including a great raid mode, some horror elements, good combat, and lots of great moments in the game.

    This game is generally very well created. It has unique setting. Player is pitted into the ghost ship, with enemies crawling around every corner and behind every door.

Player is pitted into the ghost ship, with enemies crawling around every corner and behind every door. It sets up the intense and unsettling atmosphere and claustrophobic elements that comes from game's setting also helps intensifying atmosphere of game. One downside of this is, that this game tries to put some variety in gaming by shifting the game's perspective to that of someone else. That includes someone in snowy mountain, the office building under siege, etc. Although all levels are quite well designed, it never struck me as strong as the haunted ship.

    Unlike the previous Resident Evil series where action overthrew the very fundamental the horror out of window, this game quite succeeds in its attempt to balance the horror and the action. There are a lot of weapons to help you survive, but you never feel completely prepared for encounter with enemies. This also adds nice intensity to general feel of game.

    However, this game's story is completely detached from original storyline, which might throw off some Resident Evil fan. Well, this can be forgiven as story isn't much of big deal in Resident Evil games. However, what I can't forgive is the graphic. Although things looks ok generally, the texture looks like it just crawled from 2008. Although graphic isn't much of concern when you're trying survive, I expected it to be on par with games currently out there.

    I can't help but feeling this game is like B-rated horror movie. Although there are certainly some good traits about this game, I don't think this is worth full game price, even more so considering this is originally 3DS game. Survival horror (or action) fans will guaranteed to find enjoyment in this game, but I'd wait until price drops.    … Expand

    Why 5? Because it is a mix of pros and cons.

    Pros: 1. Original horror feeling like resident evil 1 to 3 AND NO MORE STUPID QTE FREQUENT CUTSCENE! 2.

    Cons:
    1. poor port and crappy control, esp. mouse sensitivity issue
    2. poor texture quality due to NDS port
    3. useless partner due to poor AI and they deal ZERO damage to enemy

    There are few things i actually liked like monster design witch fits here well.Also i liked boss fights for providing some challenge.
    Resident Evil: Revelations is good for 3ds port, but painful combat,identity crisis (it's not either a horror or a pure shooter),and weak story line even for resident evil title (terrible dialogues drag it down.Also there is no coop campaign this time.

    So i will start with the obvious, the graphics. Very sub-par especially for a pc port, very ps2 feel.
    The controls, i used both the mouse and keyboard and a controller and well....they are very clunky. Aiming has to be the worst its a combination of magnetic targeting and no real balance between camera speeding out of control to slow-mo.

    This is more like resident evil series than RE6. Graphics are very bad, i don't mind. Much interesting method in this game is the story. No sprint (no needed). Bad dodging. The dialog is awful. Add some puzzle (easy puzzle). There is a slight variety of monsters. Add some upgrade for weapons

    Just as awesome as Resident Evil 5. Tremendous and fun gameplay. Incredible story and with the episodes it's like a TV-series. Every time they say "Previously on Resident Evil: Revelations" it reminds me of the TV-series 24 with Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer. I love the cutscenes and the Raid Mode is just fun as hell, great feature.

It feels like a pint-sized version of Resident Evil 5. There is some backtracking included, but only after clearing out rooms filled with ooze. At that point, the ship is so uninteresting the backtracking just wastes time since there are zero interesting puzzles, just finding keys.

    There are times this feels like a kiddie game despite the overly sexual Jessica and a tiny bit of cursing because of silly anime style side characters and the weak gore factor. There is blood spurting and splashing, but you can't even get decapitated and the enemies melt into puddles of ooze. To be expected being original made for a kid's handheld console.

    After finishing the game, I have to say this is the weakest ending to a Resident Evil game ever. Good thing it wasn't a part of the main series.

    Emotions usually run high at game launches and people only want to listen to what they want to hear, but I'll say this game isn't worth full sticker price. It plays like a slightly enhanced mobile game and not the HD remake you would be expecting. There are some genuinely thrilling moments (this is an action game, not scary like survival horror), but overall I'm a bit disappointed.    … Expand

La única pega es su apartado visual y animaciones un poco desfasado para los tiempos de hoy, es comprensible de que es un port de una portátil que fue desarrollado pensado para ese hardware pero Capcom podía haber hecho un mejor esfuerzo en esos apartados es por eso que le doy un 9. El otro aspecto es el contenido como siempre de costumbre los Resident Evil tienen gran cantidad de contenidos algo que agradezco mucho. Conclusión no lo he terminado todo llevo 5 horas jugadas y hasta ahora me tiene enviciado, sus escenarios oscuros en el buque del Queen Zenobia es sorprendente, la ambientación donde se origina es de lo mas original el movimiento del barco entre otros aspectos que le dan un realismo y una tensión bastante satisfactoria creo que Resident Evil debe seguir esa linea de suspenso y oscuridad le queda muy bien, no fui tan generoso con las primeras entregas no fueron juegos de mucho agrado, pero creo que Capcom debería plantearse en hacer las próximas entregas con acción mas pasiva y mas con toques de survivar horror. Creo que pagar 50 dolares por un port es algo exagerado teniendo en cuenta que ya había salido 1 año atrás en la Nintendo 3DS pero bueno en mi opinión valió la pena..… Expand

The story it self is rather boring and the characters are no developed enough for me to care about them in the slightest, there is also some silly love story crap going on too but I really didn't care enough to find out.

    Graphics

    I don't tend to really care about graphics but they look really bad in some areas and the lip syncing is terrible at times. There are alot of low-rez textures on most of the objects so when you get close to them it just look awful and some of the characters look pretty crap too.

    Control

    Moving around is a pain to get used to as you can turn around at a ridicules speed, I had to change the mouse sensitivity because moving and aiming was really god damn difficult. I also don't like some of the binding as you had to hold W+Left Click to doge attacks but sometimes my character would use the knife in stead of dodging which got me killed alot. I found the camera a bit to low for my liking so my character would sometimes get in the way to the point where I could not see stuff coming towards me.

    Gameplay

    Gameplay is your standard Resident Evil gameplay which is shoot or run past everything which is fun for a while but it soon got repetitive for me and I just wanted the game to end. Your teammates AI is AWFUL, my AI partner would rarely ever use his/her gun and the enemies would just walk right past them!

    When I first played the game, I thought is going to be worse as hell, but when I almost finished it I realised that RE: R is the second best after 6. Good graphics, nice levels, scary plot and captivating characters. What I didn't like was the lack of defence, the tiny melee attack and poor aiming.

    Resident Evil Revelations is a very strange game, to me. Allow me to get the negatives out of the way first :

    At first, I hated it with a passion. All of the good things from the recent, modern Resident Evil games were gone. Upon hitting an enemy, they seldom react, if ever. You would end up emptying entire clips into an enemy only for them to go through a pre-baked death animation    Resident Evil Revelations is a very strange game, to me. Allow me to get the negatives out of the way first :

    At first, I hated it with a passion. All of the good things from the recent, modern Resident Evil games were gone. Upon hitting an enemy, they seldom react, if ever. You would end up emptying entire clips into an enemy only for them to go through a pre-baked death animation once their invisible health bar reached zero. The ability to dodge or perform context actions is virtually gone. The only time you can perform a context attack is when the random number roller decides you have triggered a 'stun state' on the enemy, at which point you move close, then hold down the action button, and release to perform a close combat attack. While that sounds similar to recent games, your character is simply stood still in a random pose while they 'charge up damage' for release, and just looks dumb in all honesty. The new dodging mechanic is atrocious. You have to position yourself directly in the way of the attack, and then flick forwards on the controller (if using the USB XBOX360 controller) to dodge. If your timing is even slightly off, you will naturally get hit. The problem? The game doesn't prompt you when the 'flick now to dodge' period is, and the only area to trigger it is often in the dumbest location to be, often directly in front of the enemy.

    Now, this said? It isn't that bad of a game. The mechanics can be frustrating as hell, but the game quickly grows on you. Once you discard any notion of playing a 'modern' Resident Evil game, it gets better (albeit with weak bullet-sponging action for a shooter). You have to pay more attention to how you move, so that you don't allow yourself to become cornered or open to certain kinds of attack (there is a 'standard' enemy that has a slow ranged attack). You have to pay more attention to your ammo, be wary of your health, and weigh up how to engage the enemy or whether to just retreat. Granted, I was playing on one difficulty above normal, so I imagine the standard experience is quite tame, perhaps even boring.

    The story is a usual hammy Resident Evil affair, but one that feels strangely non-canon given how little mention it gets elsewhere in the series, despite how huge of an event the story would have been in the Resident Evil world (and the formation of the BSAA). Despite the gameplay change, after my first two bitter chapters where I was still hung up on modern RE games, I really got into it, and felt compelled to keep playing to see how it all turns out. The story is a bit messy, with the focus jumping between various groups of characters, but otherwise pretty solid if you don't mind the usual dramatic action tropes. Though as per usual RE writing, there was one supremely aggravatingly poorly written character, the typical random sex-appeal female who makes everything about "do you have a crush on me?" "are you trying to ask me out?" "why won't this guy take my hint?". Thanks for making every one of your players roll their eyes with the force of a tornado, guys. Thankfully Jill provides a stoic, highly effective and mission-focused female lead that squarely flips off all the usual bimbo qualities in favour of being a straight-up field agent. Chris is also less of a complete meathead here too, and when he finally gets to stand beside Jill as a support character, you finally get an "IT'S GO TIME" echo of the original Resident Evils. Parker, the new support character, is suprisingly likeable for a goofball. His sense of humour is not so overdone that he doesn't know when to shut up and put on his game face, and he actually has a bit of depth to him rather than being a slightly chubby comic relief guy. He actually feels like somebody you want to have covering your back, y'know?

    The lack of a sprint and dodge function was a bit vexing at first, and the lack of combat reactions really betrayed this game, but overall it's an enjoyable experience if you can just let go of the AAA-style modern REs. It won't be for everyone though, so I would suggest downloading the demo before you purchase. Also, it is worth noting that this is a port of a portable console game, with a little re-working on visuals. Even then, the visuals are not exactly superb. There are some beautiful little details here and there, but the lower-poly enemy models are very noticeable.

    I like that they are trying to give their fans a more nostalgic flavour, but I don't think they needed to discard the positives they learned from their newer games. Some of the enemy designs are excellent, while others are quite lacking. Gotta give those concept dudes some real credit for what they replaced the standard zombies with!

    Unless you only enjoyed the modern ones, if you are a Resident Evil fan, consider my rating at a +1.
    If you aren't a fan of the series, I would subtract one or maybe even two.
    I can see this being a real marmite game, you'd either love it or hate it.    … Expand

The graphics are of the same quality as Resident Evil 4, but ... I do not know ... they've put on a weird blue filter, and the image has a very annoying motion blur. The scenarios are also very empty, and it takes a while for them to be less linear to be of the same resident evil style. It was in this game that I discovered that I can not stand the same formula of resident evil (except for re7 that was well done). Expect betrayals, sexual tension that will never be realized because capcom hates romance in their games, just as shounem jump hates novels in their shounem manga, albino zombies, mysterious villains, a jigsaw scenario that no one in the world would do, just to open a door, a place that resembles a mansion of 3 to 4 floors (a ship in this case).
    Another annoying thing is that the game is episodic and at the beginning of every episode has an unnecessary summary, which should help players suffering from amnenia.
    The movement is strange, it's as if the character is sliding across the floor, not running across the floor. Shooting in this game is not pleasurable, these new enemies do not react to your shots convincingly.    … Expand

    Anyway, the graphics are decent by today's standards, but nothing special. The environments are well built, and the sound is great. The gameplay is fun, but not as tight as RE6 (which was a worse game, ironically).

    What really kills this game is the enemies and story. The enemies are not scary and mostly just boring. The story is another convoluted, timeline-shifting, multi-character playable mess. Capcom really needs to break this little phase they are in, because this and RE6 could have had a much more concise and meaningful story. Give me a continuous adventure full of exploration and horror like the originals or RE4. Please Capcom.

    Overall though, the story was at least interesting. The exploration of the ship and the combat is what kept me playing. Raid mode is also very fun. It adds an RPG-esque style to the campaign maps, which is actually pretty addicting.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I originally played this on the 3ds when it first came out but since sold off the 3ds and the game. But I have since found it on steam and found it to be a much more excellent and well rounded entry in the RE franchise. I haven't felt scared playing RE since RE3 Nemesis and Code VEronica X. This game delivers top scary moments unlike some of the post RE4 games. I know RE4 was popular with the fresh look and controls but it lacked the fear factor and tension of the original trilogy.

    Revelations gets the action and horror balance just right with the new scanner to add more depth to finding items and studying your enemies. Not only are we treated to some old characters and enemies but the new t-abyss creatures are a welcome yet terrifying site. While I will miss the bog standard zombies of old the T-Abyss creatures make up for it. The return of the Hunters is a great nostalgia moment and they are as dangerous as ever.

    The overall plot is very good, out of all the RE Franchise Revelations feels much more character driven. Your not just stuck with one character to play as too. You jump between 4 pairs of characters to control throughout the game. Each pairing has different exclusive enemies to face so the game wont get repetative.

    Graphically I wasn't expecting a huge jump from 3ds to PC but they are good enough. But on a large screen the sight of a T-Abyss creature or a Hunter coming at you is much more intense than it is on a handheld console.

    Not much else I can say except if your a resident evil fan you will love this game, if your new to resident evil this is a great game to try out    … Expand

    A very solid game. It has a decent story, exploration (my favorite), all right shooting and simple puzzles. Not too short, not too long, nicely split into episodes. Negligible negatives.

On the other hand, if you plan on playing this game with your 360 controller or a gamepad then be warned, the controls will start to feel way too clunky. In-fact, the controls will get so clunky that you'll most likely end up giving up the thought of putting in any effort into aiming/combat which brings us to the game's main flaws. After completing a couple chapters, you start to realize very soon that your lazy shooting/fleeing will be compensated for at the end of every chapter by being reimbursed (either in the form as playing a different character or being in a different scenario). Although the aforementioned gripe may seem contrary to the original Resident Evil ways, the game makes up for this by creating the same creepy/mysterious atmosphere through its main storyline by introducing us to various shady organizations, their relations to specific incidents, and through its various levels/maps. A noteworthy trait to mention now would also be the maps which usually tend to be more creepy/exploration oriented in design (true to the series' roots) as opposed to the more open, combat-intuitive worlds Capcom is steadily introducing (whether they are good or not is up to you). Finally, the longer and longer you lead yourself to playing this game, the more and more focused becomes the game's biggest design flaw: It's overly campy and sometimes outright retarded dialogue. Beautiful and almost original (I know I've gone too far calling a Resident Evil scenario Original) moments are utterly crushed into mere dust particles, nay, faint traces of what was once matter, by the horrid dialogue scripts of the main characters. What first starts off as an easy to ignore flaw/tribute to resident evil 1 (depending on your perspective), quickly starts to turn into a cranial syringe penetrating through the outter layers of your brain the further you progress in the story. The campy dialogue literally starts to slowly transform into utter retardation. A sample quote from episode 2: Jessica says to Chris, "It's freezing!". Chris replies, "You should've worn your thermal underwear". Brace yourselves folks, because that's only the second chapter.… Expand

    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.

    Coming off of Resident Evil 5, as the series last main entry, Revelations feels familar, but it also brings a different approach in how the game plays aswell. For starters there is the TV series styled episodic nature, about whom i have somewhat mixed feelings. It kinda helps if you're the type of person who plays games in shorter bursts, however it may get in the way if you prefer a more consistant, less interupted storyline. You also get to play as several protagonists, each with their own partner and each in their own unqiue scenarios, aswell as when their story arks converge with other protagonists. Though Jill's and Parker's story take the center stage and is the most interesting out of the bunch if you'd ask me.

    From what it seems, Revelations is the first Resident Evil game that allows you to finally move and shoot, albeit at a slower pace which doesnt allow the game to become a run of the mill action shooter, its a very welcome feature still. Combat can feel satisfying and a mixed bag at the same time. Weapons do have a nice, decently impactful feeling, but enemies can feel like damage absorbing black holes at times, who are not going down when they should. Revelations is kinda of conservative when it comes to giving you ammo and health regenarting items, so you must try to get the most out of every shot you take and be mindful not to take chances with enemies in close quarters, as the levels can be very tight and at times forcing you into a corner. One mini-boss encounter can be especially tricky, as the game keeps throwing endless amounts of minor enemies at you before you take down the mini-boss himself, running out of ammo completely is a real danger in this instance. For most people probably a minor, gameplay related thing of which im not a fan of and that somewhat ruins the immersion is how you are forced to jump down from pretty high up places and land like its nothing, instead of using the ladder, that is right there, that could be used to slide or climb down.

    The main area where you play is the cruise ship. If you choose to disable the HUD map for immersion's sake, navigating the ship can be quite cumbersome, as the main menu map is quite confusing in operating it. There is also the CastleVania element, teasing you with things that you can only unclock at a later stage in the game. The ship enviroment itself is well done, you can feel the sense of claustrophobia in the tight level design thats infused with atmosphere oozing dread. Overall there are parts of the ship where there is a really nice attention to detail paid to, like the central, european opera like, hub with a huge clock. Another small but annoying attention to detail related thing are the holstered pistols, once you pull out your pistol for usage, the holster still appears to be holstering it, essentially breaking the immersion again somewhat if you're paying attention to it.

    Visually the game wont take your breath away, even in 2013 it wouldnt, but overall art style still pulls it through. While the character models are reasonably well detailed, at times the environments can be filled with very low resolution assets, such as the unreadable text signs.

    And & all, Revelations is a good game and a worthy entry into the series, one that should be played if you're going through the series, even as a newcomer.    … Expand

История двух солдат в заснеженной местности внезапно стала не менее интересной, чем история основной героини всей серии (интересно, эти ребята ещё где-нибудь появятся?).
    Но всё-таки данная игра не дотягивает до уровня номерных частей. Сначала мне казалось, что это прям-таки настоящая "номерная часть без номера", вроде Code: Veronica, но увы, нет, это не так, достаточно было после прохождение Revelations поиграть несколько часов в Resident Evil 6.

Damn, this is the best and interesting boss from all the parts of the Resident Evil games that I managed to play until now(0-5). I also liked the way the storytelling was done in the game - in the form of serial episodes. This is a stylish solution in which everything was done correctly and is not tainted by any silly clichés or plot mistakes. The story itself was a little predictable, but it was still interesting. In it's own way, as if I returned to the 90s watching average action movie in front of the TV in the evening. Unfortunately, this is where the good things ends.
    1) I may be wrong, but for the entire time of the game I have never seen that my partner would have helped with anything with his shootings, except for a couple of times when he pushed an approaching enemy away from me. I understand that co-op is co-op and so on, but if you want to play solo or you don't have friend for games, this is an extremely bad idea for the game.
    2) The idea of ​​scanning enemies is implemented very, very terrible: live enemies give a little more percentage, but most of the enemies either do not give you a chance to do this, or the corpses almost instantly disappear.
    3) I really do not like when not third-party stories, but the main story of the game, is served with "notes, along the entire game". It looks very stupid (just an example, not about this game): you walk down the street - "I am a scientist and so on" ...you go into a house - "after that something happened" ... you go through the garden - "and started this and that" ...You reach the barn in the garden - "And it all ended with that" ... This is! very! stupid!
    4) I really didn't like the local map. 3D that cannot be deployed normally. It's horrible.
    5) Again, I could be wrong, but it seemed to me(and not only to me, in some reviews, this was also mentioned) that dodging here works at it's own discretion: If the game has a good mood - you will dodge, but if no - a monster will eat you.
    6) I wonder, how did they speak with each other, using an underwater suit, in which you hold an air hose in your mouth? F***g mentally?
    7) I said that nostalgia brought me back to watching an action movie, and it was really nice ...Not nice was that this action movie has now become a most part of the game. The franchise, along with its virus, has mutated from interesting zombies with survival and strained fear ... into a rainbow of various monsters and fear that they will simply throw them all at you at the same moment, or give you one big that will make you say "what the hell is this?". Some of them look interesting(about bosses), but the most - just awkward.    … Expand

    Хорошая игра, которая добавляет огромное количество новых персонажей в серию, очень сильно расширяет ее лор и в целом отличается, от всех предыдущих уровней повествования. В отличие от RE6, где движение персонажа было крайне скоростным, здесь разработчики вернулись более к классической схеме, когда игрок почти всю игру зажимал кнопку бега, перемещаясь с одной части локации на другой. КХорошая игра, которая добавляет огромное количество новых персонажей в серию, очень сильно расширяет ее лор и в целом отличается, от всех предыдущих уровней повествования. В отличие от RE6, где движение персонажа было крайне скоростным, здесь разработчики вернулись более к классической схеме, когда игрок почти всю игру зажимал кнопку бега, перемещаясь с одной части локации на другой. К игре рекомендуется геймпад, хотя можно и на клавиатуре+мыши (в RE6 это было бы практически нереально).
    Сюжет игры повествует о событиях, происходящих между 4-ой и 5-ой частями, в частности, повествует о том, как именно была создана BSAA, некоторые детали и т.д.. Почти всю игру, за исключением последнего эпизода, главная героиня Джилл с меняющимися партнерами (за некоторых дают поиграть в разные части игры) будет бегать по огромному лайнеру, находящемуся в Средиземном Море. В игре была сильно расширена RPG-часть - по всему кораблю можно находить сумки, увеличивающие количество переносимых патронов (в отличие от предыдущих частей, привычного ячеечного инвентаря здесь нет, просто можно переносить какое-то максимальное количество патронов/травы), а также детали, дающие разные преимущества.
    Если о впечатлениях, игра мне понравилась. Геймплей неплохой (правда, дизайн врагов и их передвижение настолько деревянное, что кажется, что их делали в последний момент для галочки), сюжет затягивает (но не сразу, об этом позже), чем дальше идешь, тем бодрее становится повествование. Если вы ничего не знаете о серии, возможно вам будет сложно сориентироваться, но игра должна зайти
    Однако есть и недочеты и минусы. Главный из них - по лайнеру тяжело ориентироваться, а уж исследовать его не приносит никакого удовольствия. Да, формально его можно везде исследовать, но фактически, когда игрок идет по сюжету, он на это внимание мало обращает. Начало у игры также оставляет желать лучшего - примерно половину игры впечатление будет довольно средним, лишь ближе к концу, когда количество боев резко увеличится, появятся эпичные моменты, тогда вы измените свое отношение об игре на положительное. Графически игра для 2013-ого выглядит... очень средне, больше смахивает на 2007-2008. Ну, и наконец, есть недочеты по геймплею, в частности стрельба какая-то странная - чтобы убить начальных врагов, порой достаточно одного-двух выстрелов из пистолета, но часто умирают они гораздо медленнее, а в чем зависимость нанесения критической атаки я не знаю. Кроме того враги имеют очень деревянные анимации из-за порой попасть в ту же голову практически невозможно.

Certo, a movimentação é um pouco limitada, e a esquiva não é tão prática quanto a premissa quer, pelo menos para mim.

Sinceramente, o combate poderia ser melhor, mas a exploração e o gerenciamento de itens torna tudo mais interessante e compensa.

    O fato de inimigos não droparem itens, salva alguns casos, é bem positivo, pois você não é recompensado por abater um inimigo que deveria ser um empecilho. E falando em inimigos, a ideia de poder escanear inimigos e certos pontos no cenário para adquirir itens torna um jogo linear e um ambiente fechado bem explorável, adicionado um elemento interessante e tempo útil em cenários onde poderia ser apenas atravessar o cenário rapidamente evitando inimigos. Peças personalizadas para aprimorar armas também fazem o jogador sentir que é recompendado por jogar, e a personalização de armas é livre para o modo de jogo que o jogador preferir. Você é o cara que gosta de rifle? Fire power, cadência e velocidade de recarga. A mira não é boa? Metralhadora com capacidade, fire power e atordoamento. E por aí vai.

    A música e o ambiente criam um clima excelente e mantém uma tensão que, apesar de raramente assustar, deixa o jogador atento, principalmente em trechos que realmente tentam te deixar tenso, como o nosso amigo "Mayday".

    Enfim, é um jogo fenomenal, com uma boa história, uma ótima campanha, bons personagens, tudo bem redondinho, e é uma pena que não seja mais reconhecido pelos fãs da franquia. O único defeito que posso apontar é o sistema de combate em si que poderia ser mais polido, mas todo o mais é muito redondinho e gostoso de jogar.    … Expand

    Revelation has some flaws - an imperfect controlling system, some short and too easy levels and really stupid story moments, that are typical for the Resident Evil series. Still, despite all this, the new RE is a great game. Episodic formula works great with telling a large, multithreaded story, the game has some real horror, great boss fights and a new game mode. It's definitely worth your time.

    Porting Revelations to make it readily available to millions of gamers was a smart move by Capcom, but if you have played the 3DS version already then there is nothing new here for you. For everyone else, Capcom has done console and PC gamers a favor in providing a thrilling and riveting addition to this truly evil series.
