    Revelations 2 Episode 2 makes the story and characters a little bit more engaging, and that's probably the biggest success of this chapter. It also brings new types of enemies and one "final boss" but, gameplay-wise, this second entry remains the very same as the first.

    Fans of the series will appreciate the plot twists, whilst newcomers can get stuck into a well-grounded Resident Evil game that is so far living up to its heritage.

    If you bought the first episode, nab the second.

    Keeps the rhythm of the first episode, without adding or changing anything on its way. The history is interesting, and the gameplay remains as fun as it was. Could be better, but also it could be much worse.

    In the end, Resident Evil Revelations 2: Episode 2 is another “of course” purchase. If you liked Episode 1, picking this episode up will be a no brainer, and frankly the game is only getting better. If you didn’t, Episode 2 isn’t going to turn heads and convert naysayers. It’s just more of the same with a welcome tweak to difficulty, and honestly, that’ s exactly what I wanted.

    The second episode of Revelations 2 offers a bit more action than the first one, and is not quite as good. Barry Burton is a pretty boring character and the setting isn’t that interesting. Still, it is a title that every Resident Evil fan should take a closer look at.

    This new episode confirms that Revelations 2 wants to revive the old Resident evil roots, and it works quite well... Enough to really look forward to the next chapter.

    When I finished Revelations I exclaimed "this is the best Res I've played since the original trilogy". With confrontations that are stickingWhen I finished Revelations I exclaimed "this is the best Res I've played since the original trilogy". With confrontations that are sticking in the memory, some great dialogue and a play style that has me thinking a touch more than usual, at the halfway point Revelations 2 could overtake its predecessor.

    I've not experienced waiting for the next part of game like a TV show before. I think I like it. I don't like creepy dolls with metal rods through them though, and that's where we might be starting episode 3. A scary franchise unsettling me? Outrageous.
