Resident Evil: Revelations 2

The game is pretty fun but the fact that they offer to sell it for one episode at a time when the entire game is now available for purchase is a bit strange. People are likely to see the very low pricetag and assume that they'll be buying the full package for only a dollar.
Luckily I didn't make this mistake, I purchased the whole lot in one bundle for £12 which isn't so bad, especially for all the content that there is in this title.
The singleplayer story mode which I played the most is enjoyable and well-made, there are collectibles, challenges, and special modes such as invisible enemy mode for each chapter, which makes them very replayable.
After a lot of grind I did manage to get all of the achievements in this game, but I must say that it really did become somewhat difficult to do after a while, this is mostly because there are a fair number of sequences in each chapter which force your character to move at a walking pace while some dialogue happens in the background, these cutscenes are unskippable and must be done each time you play the chapter. If the option to skip all of this were present I would probably enjoy replaying this as much as I do other entries in the series like RE4 and RE5, but unfortunately that's not the case.
I played this game with a PS4 controller so I can't comment on how well done the controls are for keyboard and mouse, but the controller support is exactly what it needs to be, no issues there. Visuals are great, Capcom have this grainy sort of texture compression that has applied to their RE games since the remake of RE1 and the original RE4 which I think brings a charm to the graphical style and allows it to age surprisingly well.
Disappointingly, despite the game's story swapping you between two pairs of characters alternating with each level, it is not possible to play co-operatively over the internet in this game, it is only possible to do this locally or by using Steam's "Remote Play Together" feature which I have never tried as it requires quite a strong internet connection to minimize input lag.
I did not play much of this game's Raid mode, which is a side mode that is the definition of grind.
You play as one of a number of characters with their own experience level and collect levelled guns and levelled abilities which you can use to to replay the same chopped up sections of the singleplayer story filled with enemies with inflated HP based on their level which are placed in different configurations, the general goal is to kill them all and reach the end of the level.
Perhaps if I owned this game for a mobile console this mode would have more appeal, perhaps if I knew someone who owned the same game on their portable console we could regularly co-op some raids and enjoy the grind.
Raid mode is a chore playing solo. This is coming from someone who maxed out the singleplayer campaign's content completely, achieving the max rank for every level on every difficulty.
Despite its flaws, there is an online multiplayer function to Raid mode, which makes the fact that this function is missing from the story mode even more of a kick in the teeth.
Overall I would say that this is worth playing, storywise it's alright, gameplay wise it's alright, atmosphere and replayability-wise it is stellar, with only the few unskippable semi-cutscenes in each chapter cutting into the game's replayability.
If you buy this on sale you will definitely get your money's worth through the singleplayer content alone, even if you only play it once.

"God... You owe me a pair of underpants"
Resident Evil Revelations 2 is an episodic survival horror and a two-player split screen co-op game. You can play four different characters; Barry, Claire, Moira and Natalie. I have to mention that I didn’t like the first game; it was bland, the writing was bad and the enemies were generic, so I stopped playing it halfway through. Because of that, my expectations were low for the sequel. Just finished it and it is far better than its predecessor.
Pros:
✔️ Creative co-op: Player 1 uses weapons to blast zombies and monsters, while Player 2 doesn't use any, but has special abilities which helps Player 1 solve puzzles and defeat monsters. Too bad it’s just local, not online, so it’s splitscreen.
✔️ Fun gameplay: Like any Resident Evil game, the gunplay is solid,melee combat is fun, and it is satisfying to headshot zombies.
✔️ Good replay value: you can collect guns from the campaign, find and shoot plates to get more guns, three different difficulty levels that you can get an S-rank on. There is also the excellent Raid mode, a run-and-gun where you can play and upgrade different characters with their own special abilities and weapons.
✔️ Graphics aged well: It’s a 2014 game, certainly not the most beautiful game, but it still looks good.
✔️ Excellent soundtrack: The songs are pretty good, especially in the raids, they are an adrenaline rush.
Cons:
❌ Average storyline and bland writing: According to the other steam reviews, the story is “one the best” and “ amazing”. Not sure what they were smoking when they wrote that, but the story is okay at best, and the writing is cringe. If you are aiming to buy the game only because of the story then you’ll be disappointed.
❌ Not scary: let’s be frank, the new Resident Evil games aren’t scary to begin with, that is until they released Resident Evil 7. To be fair, it made me jump once (it was quiet and an enemy came out of nowhere).

Final Thoughts
Gameplay-wise, this is a pretty good Resident Evil game; good replay value, fun co-op, satisfying gameplay, good graphics and great soundtrack. However, it’s not that great story-wise. You can easily clock in more than 20 hours, so it is definitely worth the asking price.

Short review because I've never really written one
If you're buying this for the online co-op, beware.. It doesn't work! Fortunately I knew someone from across the street willing to play with me since my cat has no thumbs.
Pros
+ Offline co-op. I feel like you never really see these anymore
+ You can be your friend's pack mule.. or vice-versa
+ Neil is voiced by that one dude from Code Geass and every other anime
+ Decent weapon customisation
Neutral
~ Good vs. bad ending seems like it rests on a singular choice which was kinda odd for me
Cons
- Only one person can open their inventory at a time
- 1P will have all the weapons, 2P gets some stuff.. you might get used to it
- Moira cusses a little too much for my comfort
- Misleading "online co-op" feature that doesn't actually exist
SOrry I dunno how to write a review but get this if you have a friend to play with

Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a survival horror game.
Claire Redfield and the daughter of Barry Burton, Moira, got knocked out and kidnapped. After awakening they find themselves in a dark and abandoned detention facility on a remote island.
Barry is going on search for Moira a few months later.
Players will play through areas in different timelines. The first half of a chapter with Claire and Moira and the second part with Barry and Natalia (a girl who was found on the island).
Players will need to switch between the two characters (Claire/Moira, Barry/Natalia) during the gameplay to proceed.
Revelations 2 consists of 4 Episodes, 1 Episode has a duration of something under 2 hours.
The story is not really spectacular, so it is fine by me that it does not take long to finish it.
The campaign can be played in local coop on splitscreen or it can be played online with Remote Play (setting it up is a bit annoying and 2 gamepads are required for the host).
Besides of the campaign there is also The Raid mode which can be played normaly online.
The graphics are not so good, it could have been way more better.
The music and voice acting is okay. Claire has a new voice here.
Some people have reported they have problems to launch the game, they have a black screen at launch. There are a few fixes in the discussions, like editing the config file. I also had problems with a black screen but for me the fix was simply to unplug my keyboard (a Corsair) before starting the game to make it work (weird...).
Overall, Resident Evil Revelations 2 is okay, it is not one of the best games in the Resident Evil series but also definitely not one of the worst. If you like the Resident Evil games you should get Revelations 2 during a sale, the regular price for all chapters is too much.
Sounds 8/10

the best story ,i got really touched by the things that happened, online raid mode is really fun and addictive a lot of things to discover im level 100 which is amazing and i love collecting rare guns making them infinite and grinding, really challenging i have a lot of friends now and i play with them hard missions so we can level up and boost our self's really recommend this game hands down specially for the people who loves stories . side note dont expect this game to have high graphics ...im still surprised though how the game have really decent graphics because the game is kinda old... anyways thank you for reading :D

if you ignore the episode style play they decided to do here for some reason, this is a really good RE game.what I liked most is the different play style you get for each character.On an all, very good RE atmosphere, nice scares, interesting story, I don't think you will be disappointed.
