This game is definitely one of those underrated gems..
The story might be a lil bit predictable, but the atmosphere really pulls you in...
The characters are fun (especially natalia), and the co-op gameplay is like cherry on a cake...
While it might not get as much love as other entries in the series, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're into creepy survival horror or retro games...

I had a second Revelation, the Residents on this island may in fact be Evil.

For some reason every Resident Evil game makes me want to 100% it. They're just that good

Resident Evil Revelations 2 was well done and I loved that they kept the original theme of resident evil which was pure horror. The aesthetic of this game is just sooo good and the storyline is incredibly captivating but what sucks is that they left it on a cliffhanger but who knows, we might get a resident evil revelations 3 in the future who knows :D. Overall 10/10 game.
p.s I still believe RE: Revelations 1 was better, especially raid mode.
RE-EDIT : After spending 100 hours in this game, i can easily say that this game is 10x better than revelations 1. The aesthetic of the game and the horro of it is on point! and as for raid mode, revelations 2's raid mode is INFINITELY better than revelations 1 and a lot more fun

Review
If you try to take a look at the reviews most people don’t tell why they dislike it. The only thing that is hated is that its split in episodes. Yeah, playing the package and seeing a “last time on lost” esque recap is just idiotic. But being able to buy now the whole package: what does the game offer now?
Gameplay
First the biggest difference to revelations 1 is that the npc who follows you is now someone you can actively change to at any time. There is also the possibility to play the game in split screen which is somewhat the optimal way. Its one of the most unique coop games as its a story that is meant to be played for two people. You constantly split up and have to do tasks that help the other person to advance.
In combat only one person uses weapons while the other has two options. If you play as moira you have solely a flashlight and a melee weapon. Both being useful support weapons for setting up follow attacks. If you play as the kid in barry episodes you are basically useless. You can only throw bricks which are break easily, dont do any damage and are hard to set up. Your task is solely to point at invisible enemies if they appear.
This creates a somewhat of a asymmetric coop shooter that is more horror focused than resident evil 5 while also being relatively fun in combat, if you aren’t playing the kid in barry´s episode. Instead of upgrading weapons through a shop, you can find upgrades in secret chests that the support character can open. There is also a skill system adding some abilities which is okay.
There is also high replay value with various different modes or the mercenaries mode that is a bit more easier than the first revelations and less grindy.
Story
You are trapped on an island, starting in a prison and going further to explore what this island is about. If you play barry´s episode, its set in a different time uncovering more. Those two storylines collide and end up in a satisfying finale that is a bit more memorable than the first revelations, although having not much in common story wise aside a few mentions.
Sound
Maybe one of the weaker resident evil soundtracks while still being decent. Voice acting is available in more than just English, also neat.
Graphics
Originally programmed for being a download title, its available even on the PS vita. But this is not that noticeable on the pc port. It has a decent grunge look to it and feels more like a silent hill game. Neat.
Conclusion/TL;DR
I think its a decent resident evil spin-off. The unique coop aspects is what made the game really fun for me. It stands out from the rest due to this, although having its downsides. Combat is decent but absolutely boring for people who have to play the child. There should have been more aspects to the support character gameplay. Although its still fun playing this coop horror shooter.

Got it on sale and it was worth it. Not the best RE title out there but imo it received undeserved hate. It's a good entry. Fun gameplay, replayability which is integral to RE games, we even have a skill tree. Raid mode is also fun. Love the rodeo outfit and urban ninja costume for Claire and Moira.
