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.

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:

    This game is more of the same the old formula with a different look and new gadgets ,i don't care for the graphics or the raid mode, the scare rate is 0/10,The story was industrial RE.

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

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

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

    Taking the game from its stereoscopic 3D original and downgrading it to monoscopic 2D without even building the option to enable 3D if one has the hardware is a gigantic downgrade. I don't care how many more polygons you render, how many more colors the palette can actively use it's garbage because the depth perception or even the option to have it has been removed. To me, having loved the 3DS version this was a gigantic letdown that tore 40% of what the game had to offer away from the experience.

    What's really a letdown about the downgrade to monoscopic 2D here is this is a desperate move by Capcom to cash in over their failed Resident Evil 6 release. It's turning out to be more of a slap in the face to the gamer than anything else. It's been rushed, downgraded and it's essentially the very same game with nothing new to offer.    … Expand

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

    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

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

    This game are basically design for 3DS,So it feels normal in PC platform,The 'Origin' is really weird when you use it to searching things,but the game are just fine totally,Not too bad for me.

    The controls are not good enough. Graphics are not looking good. It didn't give to me an old ''resident evil'' games' feeling.

    Резик унылый стал таковым с четвертой части и по revelation 1 и 2. Это игра просто позор

    Good game with a fun campaign and a good story. The weapon upgrade system and ammo reserve I thought was cool too and the graphics are still very good.
    I see some reviews saying that it was good to have returned a little bit of the horror of the series, but this for me is pure teasing with the 4 and 5, because there is only suspense in the first chapter and ooooh there.

    Resident Evil: Recelations is a mediocre video game. The fact is RE:Revelations is better than RE6 but this fact is not enough to make this game good.

    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.

    Just like the zombies that the Resident Evil brand was built on, Revelations proves that there might be life after death (or at least severe downward spiral) after all.

    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.
