Strafing, sprinting and even dodging make the cut, placing this horror game firmly into the action camp (albeit at a slower pace than say Zombie Army Trilogy). The 'tank controls' of previously Resident Evil games have been dropped in favour of more contemporary third person motions. I wish I could elaborate further without spoilers, but the primary take-away here should be Citizen Kane, it ain't. There are some genuinely humorous moments, particularly when Barry Burton refers to some of the infamous dialogue from the original Resident Evil, but Revelations 2 mostly fails to deliver. It makes one wonder if those questions do in-fact have answers, or whether they're intentionally as open ended as possible to odiously maximise the potential for DLC to wrap up the unanswered questions the main game has failed to do.Ĭombined with the episodic format and the recap sequences, the game contains numerous excerpts and references to Frank Kafka poetry with varying relevance, which gives me the sense the writing staff think they're smarter than they actually are.

It's typical that there should be unanswered questions, but Resident Evil Revelations 2's leaves little room for anything else. The game offers little intrigue, and leaves players with an irritatingly unsatisfying conclusion regardless of which ending you get landed with. Throughout I was trying to deduce potential plot twists and uncover mysteries which simply weren't there.

Furthermore, the Steam page for Resident Evil Revelations 2 specifically stated that the game would feature offline co-op play and it continued to say that even several hours after Capcom had made the announcement that the game would not have co-op play.Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Image credit: Windows Central) Sadly, Capcom's attempts at a Resi reboot haven't quite gone to plan as they have been forced to cut offline co-op from the PC version of the game, announcing it on Tuesday right as the first episode of the game (out of four) was released. While this would would be frustrating enough for PC gamers looking to play the game with a friend in-person, this is occurring after the game was delayed for extra polishing. Putting players in the shoes of Claire Redfield (who has partnered up with Moira, the daughter of Barry Burton) in a story set between Resident Evil 5 and 6, the game looked to be a return to its roots and could win back players who may have turned to games like The Last of Us and Alien: Isolation for their survival horror fix. Many had hoped that that special something was Resident Evil Revelations 2.
