Resident Evil: Revelations

The most important video game I have on Steam, a game that built my Steam profile and introduced me to a bunch of friends a few years ago. The main story is good and I think REVELATIONS was the prototype for the RESIDENT EVIL 2 REMAKE, don't forget that it was a glimmer of hope at a time when the series lost its identity. But the real thing here is Raid Mode, Capcom's best RESIDENT EVIL "mini-game". Raid Mode can even be a standalone title because it provides a ton of fun and things to do. If you completely master it, you will go through the most difficult obstacles like a fast Japanese train and you're gonna enjoy it. REVELATIONS 2 is nowhere near as hardcore and super special awesome as the original.

An underrated RE game
In a time when RE games were shifting away from its original concept and getting worse with each release, this game was an unexpected return to the original survival horror the series is known for. The game was originally released on the 3DS and because of that it’s pretty straight forward, no side-quests, no multiple endings, it’s much simpler and easier than the other titles I’ve played, not necessarily a bad trait.
The great thing about this one is that it combines elements from the original horror focused games (1,2,3) and the action focused ones (4,5,6). In one episode you’ll be in a room without weapons with a monster chasing you and in another one you’ll be in a turret section shooting everything in sight. It mix things up pretty well, they don’t feel forced and the game maintains its focus. Classic Resident Evil mechanics are still in this game, inventory management, storage box, the ability to avoid enemies and the puzzles.
80% of the story happens aboard a cruise ship and that’s where you’ll experience the survival horror aspect of this game, the ship is filled to the brim with monsters, not the run off the mil zombies but new creatures known as “Ooze”, basically the same thing gameplay-wise, the difference is that they don’t really look human and have some maritime characteristics because of the virus’ origins . The creatures in this game are very creepy and unsettling, specially the bosses. The ship looks run down and depressing, it will make you uncomfortable, its corridors are dark and narrow, similar to the mansion from the first game, giving you that claustrophobic feeling and setting the “survival horror” atmosphere. The place itself is huge, you get a decent variety of environments, from the ship’s machine room to its luxurious hall, there’s even an underwater segment. The way you survive and fight also change with the environments, you won’t get strong weapons till later in the game so this part is mostly the classic: “Should I kill or avoid them?”. The story bits that happen out of the ship are usually more action oriented, having to kill most of the enemies you’ll have better weapons and more ammo.
The story is divided in episodes, it goes back and forth among the characters and timelines, shifting perspective and tone. Almost everything that take place on the ship will have you play as Jill Valentine, some episodes will have you play as Chris, Keith or Parker, those are the more action focused ones. Set before the events of RE 5, It’s the same great conspiracy with multiple twists and intrigues plot we all love, it works like a prologue, explaining the BSAA and what Chris and Jill were up to. The dialogue still has some cheesiness to it but that’s part of Resident Evil.
There are a lot of main characters in this game, and I mean A LOT, classic and new ones, sometimes you’ll get lost by so many names. Most of the levels you’ll have a partner with you and you’ll get to see their relationships play out, they’re all compelling in a way, even the fan hated Jessica. I really enjoyed Jill and Parker chemistry.
The game features a Raid mode, you play it solo or with a friend, you choose any character from the game to play as, even some bonus ones if you have them unlocked. It’s an action oriented mode where you’ll have to complete levels from the main story as quickly as possible, the only mission here is to kill as many enemies as you can and get to the objetive. There’s a level system and a shop that you can use to unlock stronger weapons and completing objectives unlock new characters. While I’m not a big fan of these action modes I had fun with Raid, mainly because of its co-op and the ability to play with characters you like , it gives the game replay value.
The only real issue I had with this game was the camera and the fov, they’re bad, had to install another program to fix them.
This game is often forgotten whenever someone brings up the RE series, while not a masterpiece it’s a gem and if you enjoy the series you should definitely play it.

Resident Evil Revelations takes players back to the events that took place between Resident Evil® 4 and Resident Evil® 5, revealing the truth about the T-Abyss virus. Resident Evil Revelations features series favorites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield, plus their respective BSAA partners - Parker Luciani and Jessica Sherawat. The action begins on board a supposedly abandoned cruise ship, the ‘Queen Zenobia’, where horrors lurk around every corner, before players head for the mainland and the devastated city of Terragrigia. With limited ammo and weapons available, the race is on to survive the horror of Resident Evil Revelations.
After completing the Resident Evil Revelations, I can say that this is one of the best RE in the series. Most importantly Classic survival horror gameplay returns with various enemy types with great storyline. Revelations series basically an episode wise story telling mechanism, completely new and different taste in the Resident Evil Series.

THE GAME IS GOOD AND STORY IS PERFECT
BUT YOUR PARTNER ( PARKER ) IS THE MOST IDIOT AND USELESS PARTNER OF ALL TIMES
ITS SO FUNNY BECAUSE IF YOU EVEN USE CHEAT AND ACTIVE 1 HIT KILL PARKER STILL CANT KILL A SINGLE ENEMY
WHAT KIND A TOTALLY USELESS PARTNER HE IS I DONT KNOW BUT HE IS A PAIN TO THE ASS
BUY THE GAME BUT DONT COUNT ON HIM

You kill reptilians and can walk while shooting.

Favorite butt.

I don't have much to say. If you like resident evil games, you will enjoy this one. It has resident evil 5 gameplay but with no campain coop. It has a little of scary ambient and it's fun to play. The raid mode it's very good to be honest. You can spend a lot of hours there with a friend or not.
