True Resident Evil fans will really enjoy this one! For starters, the campaign is nice step forward from the over-dramatic Revelations 1 and takes a step back into a much darker setting. The partner system has been balanced out now, so that they are there as "help" and not as someone to make the game easier. Combat is MUCH tighter than Resident Evil 6 and controls like RE 5 did.

The partner system has been balanced out now, so that they are there as "help" and not as someone to make the game easier. Combat is MUCH tighter than Resident Evil 6 and controls like RE 5 did. It still plays less like a survival horror game and still more action oriented.
The story is a big improvement over the Rev 1 and adds a more diverse setting for each episode. As for the "bad guy", this one was kind of weak and was hoping for a potential revival for a certain major antagonist. The final boss was no where as challenging as Revelations 1's final. As for the monsters themselves, there is a decent variety and some real cheap ones. Overall the main story is pretty balanced and improves where the last few titles were falling behind at.
What brings the score of this game to a 9 for me, is the raid mode. Which is a VAST improvement over the previous entry. Not only does the game give you the option to use characters from the title, there are almost all of the fan favorites included as unlockables. The also applies to the stages that can be unlocked. These feature settings from the main game, Resident Evil Revelations and practically all of the areas in RE6. All the while giving higher challenges, player skills and weapons from the three previously mentioned titles.
Finally, there are the many unlockables, filters and modes to try, like time attack.
As a fan since Resident Evil's original release, I thoroughly enjoy this game and still go back to it from time to time.… Expand
