    Es IMPRESIONANTE COMO ESTE JUEGO CORRE EN 1080p en modo docj y 720 en portatil. El frame es de 30, pero son muy estables. La verdad es que es un port excelente! El unico fallo que le veo son los tiempos de carga.

    Easily the best quality port so far on switch. Capcom really surprised me. For me personally it's the best resident evil game I have played, though I loved the first and 3 too. IT's a must buy imo, there is a staggering amount of content and the graphics look great even in handheld mode.

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a step in the right direction. First of all, it fills in a blank spot in the series telling the story between Resident Evil 5 and 6, reintroducing two characters, one from the original game and the other from Code Veronica X.

    If you are familiar with Resident Evil 4 the gameplay is very similar, except for the fact they added new improved mechanics to the gameplay. The story is lengthy ranging over 10 hours on one play through. The Nintendo Switch version added a few extra perks to the gameplay using the joy con controllers. There is also a two player local co-op mode and an online mode raid mode. Raid mode give you simple challenges using small portions of maps from may different Resident Evil titles, along with creatures. All in all the game is lengthy, challenging, with a decent story filling in the blanks to the RE timeline, experimenting with online elements. Anyone wanting to fill in the Resident Evil story, this is a must.    … Expand

    I’m over 12 hours playing this game on Nintendo Switch Lite, and it’s one of the greatest, and deepest Resident Evil experiences I’ve ever had as the game’s just amazing on Switch as playing handheld makes it so much more immersive, and the game itself is so damn good as I can’t say enough about how deep the story is, and the fact it’s both survival horror but also plenty of action withI’m over 12 hours playing this game on Nintendo Switch Lite, and it’s one of the greatest, and deepest Resident Evil experiences I’ve ever had as the game’s just amazing on Switch as playing handheld makes it so much more immersive, and the game itself is so damn good as I can’t say enough about how deep the story is, and the fact it’s both survival horror but also plenty of action with top notch gun play mixed in is something ya rarely find in a game, and I’ve played every resident evil game except the Remake of 3 as I haven’t gotten around to that one but outside of that I’ve been playing them since 1997 give or take, and both Revelation 1 & Revelation 2 are two of the best game’s I’ve ever played in my Life, and I didn’t think Revelations 2 could be as good as 1 but I was wrong as it’s just as good if not better as both games are 10 of 10 for Me as it don’t get much better than this for solo single player, and the Switch Lite looks superb, and crisp, and the atmosphere as I lay here on the Bed lights off playing this game handheld with earphones on is just too good, and I’ve already put over 12 to 16 hours give or take about, and I’m still not finished as I just entered the Mansion in the final episode with Barry, and I ain’t sure if this is the last part or if I’ll play with Claire again or what but it’s been incredible, and then also cause I got the Switch version it comes with 2 extra episodes I can play after the main campaign is finished, and so all in all like I said this game gets a 10, and any true resident evil fans if you’ve never played Revelation 1 & 2 you’re missing out on 2 of the best games ever created as to say they’re underrated is an understatement as they’re both the real deal survival horror type resident evil but packed with action, amazing gameplay, awesome graphics, excellent weapons, etc etc etc… Expand

    This game is great, runs good. It deserves a 82. I love it. The games runs at 60 FPS and 1080p

    This is a really good game. It is well hidden in the eshop now. You have to look deep and it is often on offer. The game offers around 20-25 hours to stealth zombie killing fun. When you are done with that you can play raid mode. The raid mode ins't as fun as the main campaigns and included DLC.

    It is the best thing on the Switch which compares to the last of us.

    I know that Switch have his limitation but, i think that game would be much better. OK, is full playable game, and runs at 1080p! But, the "antialiasing" option is turned off, and the "ambient occlusion" too. This take away the game experience. I think 900p with that options "on" would be much better!

    A pesar de los largos tiempos de cargas este juego es increíble, pero lo que más me gusta es la posibilidad de jugar a pantalla dividida.

    It seems he was born to take full advantage of his potential on this console.
    Too bad for the loading ...

    Way better than the first Revelations. It has really really good graphics for Switch standard and I love the fact that you can switch between characters. It gives it so much more the feeling to interact with your enviroment.
    Great game overall.

    Sadly it is a bit short in my eyes. Also the big selling point of Resident Evil games that they are frightening isnt really the case. I dont find any RE game frightening at all (compared to lets say Outlast). It is more an atmospheric shooter than a horror survival game but it is still good.
    Absolutely worth the money you spent for it.    … Expand

    Good resident evil game whit good gameplay, better Than resident evil 6 in every way, this is were the series should take inspiration from, the only bad things is the graphic it look dated even for the ps3 era, but this dosent ruin the experience and its still a good game

    EDITED: Since finishing the game I've bumped this up to a 8. Replayability factor is crazy high.

    OLDER POST: Never played a Resident Evil game before—I’m 3/4 of the way through the main campaign—and if this is any measure of the RE formula I’ll be visiting every previous entry when finished.

    For someone who’s over straight-up first person shooters (me!) this offers a great mix of story, stealth, puzzles and zombie kills, complemented by pretty sweet graphics for Switch—the quarry stage is stunning on a big screen.

    Highly recommended.    … Expand

    Não sei porque muitos não gostaram desse jogo, na minha opinião é um dos melhores que já joguei, boa jogabilidade, história legal, senti de volta aquele clima de meio terror, "zumbis" meios bobalhões iguais os jogos antigos (Diferente de outros resident que parece call of Duty),
    Gostei muito.

    It's quite a good port imo. The graphic looks really nice, soundtrack makes better imersion and the story can soak you in. From the developing site it's really good production and Capcom did a good job. Shooting is fun and models of enemies quite spooky. Tip from me - wait for a discount on e-shop, cause it appers very often. Downsides? The    # sometimes spooky, sometimes annoying #

    Um jogo muito bonito e otimizado. Resident Evil Revelations 2 tem um Co-Op extremamente divertido que flui muito bem por sinal.

    Nose cuantas horas le dedique a este increíble titulo, me pegue una viciada tanto en el modo campaña como en las misiones secundarias. Ver correr semejante titulo en 720p a 30fps en mis manos, Simplemente increíble.

    Resident Evil Revelations 2 takes everything from the first game and improves upon it. Although I am torn between which location I prefer (Cruise Ship vs Island facility) I feel that this sequel has benefitted from being developed for consoles. The Revelations spinoff series has produced arguably two of the best Resident Evil games since Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube, and now we can finally experience them both together on a Nintendo console!

    While Resident Evil Revelations 2 borrows sparingly from its contemporaries, it is better than it's budget would have you believe it to be. The story is just the right amount of schlock with a smaller yet more focused cast. The tension is actually present in a moody well realised setting. The overall game feel lends itself to a much more enjoyable experience when compared to its predecessor too. Add in a comprehensive (yet slightly grindy) Raid Mode and you've got yourself a winner.
