All complaints here about how this game "feels" seems to come from people who never played Anything before RE5 or at least RE4 or directly no RE ever, also complaints about not being "innovative" are weird, if they make some innovations the game is blamed to be a shooter as happened to RE6, if they keep the same "feeling" for it someone's complaints is that there is no innovation, what the heck.

    People who likes the classic RE atmosphere will find bread for their teeth here, graphics maybe are not jawdropping but nonetheless very good, sound is ok, the story is ok, this is an overall good game and a very good RE, my rating would be a 8.5 but I round up to 10 cause it's sad to see clueless ranting people rating this game in the range 0-4.    … Expand

    It's good. Control are so much better compare to resident evil 5. I think much of the RE series having lame controls, haven't play RE 6 so i dont know bout that one. Just get used to it and you will be okay. The graphic is very nice since it's a port from 3ds. The story are much interesting compare to 5. Overall a good game. 9/10 but i'll give it 10/10

    Challenging, fun, exciting, creepy,
    As Resident Evil fan (since Re/bio1)I like the way they brought back the old school "survival horror" and mixed it in with the new school look.
    But the Controlls are a bit annoying (at the first moment) and I wasn't happy about jill's look, not the best(preffe the design from re5) but it is okay.
    so um,
    9/10.

    The best resident evil game, it has the combat of 4, but with better aiming and the labyrinthine environments of remake mainly on a cruse ship and has a great plot, likeable characters and a touch of that res evil charm.

    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.

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

    - Jill Valentine, she does not look like original character from 3rd part. Why she has changed so much?

    Capcom should defiantly go for horror mode. Otherwise they will kill entire series in matter of few years. If I want to play a shooter I will go for shooter, I want Resident Evil as i was from start. This is how game succeed and this is how it should be all time.

    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

    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.

    Um excelente game e um Resident Evil praticamente perfeito. Há um balanceamento muito bom entre combate e terror, o famoso survivor horror. 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.

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

    This is actually good and entertaining. It has a few jump scared but I actually enjoyed everything about it. The controls are clunky but thats pretty standard in most RE games. The co-op mode is really well done, as well and is essentially a way to have more fun after the story is over. I would say the game is worth about 30 dollars, pick it up if its on a steam sale.

Graphically talking, it is ok, I would not give 10/10 on graphic, but anyone rating a game on the graphic without considering his high playbility and good interface with the commands (the commands are ported in a simplified way that is currently shared among the RE games). So Story: 9/10 Graphic: 7/10 Controls and UI: 6.5/10

    The game also offer a raid version of the game which allow the game to have a bit more of longevity, still, I haven't tried that at the moment.

    RE Revelation is the best game in the series after RE4. This game really deserved to be played. Though graphics are not very good, but still main thing in a game is gameplay and story and Revelations does not lose in either of that. The PC port might have some minor issues, but that shouldn't be something stopping you from enjoying this awesome game.

    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

    There are many more but, you guys got the point right?

    Please do look at this Review Capcom and Nintendo it will help for future references (I noticed those problems by reviewing the reviews myself and I'm even hoping that you guys haven't) I know most RE fans wouldn't like a 2 player campaign but can't you at least make an option where you can play 1 player w/ an AI that can't help that much or another option where you can play 1 player but you can pick whether the AI will help also an option where players can pick if they want to play 1 or 2 players like in RE 5 and 6    … 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. It requires a little too much backtracking. Dodging was a bit awkward and hard to use. Save for visuals this is what the main Resident Evil series should have become.

    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.
