Resident Evil Revelations 2 (closer look)

I was a bit reluctant to buy this game, it´s not that I hated Resident Evil Revelations but it´s more that Resident Evil Revelations doesn´t have any playable characters I´m very interested in playing with. Sure Barry seems cool but then there´s also a little girl (Natalia) with him and she can point and throw bricks so that kind of gives you an idea how much fun that will be. Claire and Moira are a better team in my opinion, but here it´s also the same where one holds the guns and the other has a flashlight and a crowbar.


Is this really a Resident Evil game?


Well you play with some of the characters from Resident Evil games (Barry and Claire), it says Resident Evil in the title and I guess it´s survival horror in some way but that´s about it. While playing episode one of Resident Evil Revelations 2 I didn´t really had the idea that I was playing a Resident Evil game, mostly because it´s running and shooting at some points. I must admit that as Barry you get a better chance to sneak your way through an area because Natalia can see the zombies (I guess, I´m not even certain about that) through the walls and that allows you to sneak up on them and stealth kill them. This is also nothing like the classic Resident Evil experience but at least it makes things a bit more interesting than running into a room and shooting everyone and moving on to the next room.


This is episode one?


Yes, you get a new episode every week and that sucks because it will greatly slow down your experience with the game, I mean when I sit down for a game I want to play it until I´m done and not spend several hours on it and I´m done with a part and then wait a week for the next part. Maybe some people like that but I definitely don´t like that! Of course you can buy the game later as a whole but when you like Resident Evil games like me then you don´t want to wait!


Is it fun to play?


There are definitely fun moments, but there is also a lot of frustration and weird moments. For example enemies that walk into a wall and keep walking into a wall, instant kill traps where enemies can easily hit you in and there isn´t much you can do about that. It´s rough to play Resident Evil Revelations 2 after you just played Resident Evil, because you go from a great game to an average game. Sure it´s fun but I bet several people are going to be very annoyed with this game, so it´s not a surprise that some people will ignore this game. I can definitely advice you to first buy episode one before you buy all episodes, that way you can figure out for yourself if you like this game. It´s not a bad game but it just doesn´t feel like Resident Evil, which is a shame because I think with Resident Evil Revelations they started to get back to what made Resident Evil games a lot of fun to play!
