Gameplay is walking from point A to point B to watch a cutscene, occasionally broken apart by a harder enemy or simple puzzle. Story and dialogue is dumb action movie garbage. Atmosphere nearly doesn't exist with only a few very small moments that shine. I can't believe I once thought this game was great. Really goes to show how deep in the gutter this franchise was between 4 & 7.

For 3DS game is pretty solid feels like simplify RE6 but on old RE maze like map need back tracking if you don't have problem with this type of backtracking you will probably enjoy it.

Revelations was originally made as a 3DS exclusive, and as a portable RE, it's very beautiful, fluid... a real nice job, way better than the main entry released the same year (that, in addition of being dumb, was totally outdated even in the eye of a guy who's not really concerned with technics).

As a RE game now, well... there's something like a will to get back to the original formula by focusing on the exploration of a weird uknown location. You're still shooting like, a lot, and probably too much, but Revelations is not a pure TPS like RE5 or 6. Instead, it tries an interesting compromise between pre and post-RE4 games. It works for most part but there are two main issues :
- the game is very linear (and btw pretty easy), which is a little embarassing when you promise exploration
- the atmosphere is... dull. For sure, in 2012, the RE games weren't scarying anyone anymore, but Revelations is probably the less stressful claustrophobic game of all times.

All in all, a good game which will increase with time, but probably never to the point of making it to a best of RE.

I expected something a bit more enjoyable going into it, but it just didn't deliver. One of the worst Resident Evil's I've played. It was originally a 3DS game, so I probably expected more than I should have. Still doesn't change the fact that the game just isn't very fun.

I liked the story, but the gameplay was just okay. I feel like there was too much of a focus on action and not enough on horror. Also if you play this game, go for one of the harder difficulties. Normal is way too easy.

Resident Evil Revelations is an okay game. It does everything a resident evil game usually does, just not as well. It tries to be scary but it's just as scary as the more action heavy games in the series. The graphics aren’t great, but it’s forgivable considering it had a lower budget. There was one section of the game where you get stuck in an area full of enemies and it is actually a bit challenging. The final boss was also challenging. These two parts I would say are the highlights of an otherwise just okay game. I played the raid mode quite a bit, and I think it’s adds quite a bit of value to the game. Overall, revelations is an average game and I only recommend it if you are a die-hard resident evil fan.

A Capcom com Resident Evil Revelations em Janeiro de 2012 lançado inicialmente para Nintendo 3ds colocou a franquia novamente no caminho correto, com alguns erros aqui e outros ali.
Resident Evil Revelations é um jogo que todo fan de Resident Evil deve jogar, jogo possui uma ambientação muito boa, além de Jill e Chris o jogo trás diversos excelentes personagens para a trama, possui uma trama muito bem construída, os gráficos do jogo não são dos melhores mas tem um porque, o jogo é um port do 3DS.

It may be because I was so blessed with having played the RE2, and RE4 remakes (and even the OG RE4) before this game, but it feels like a watered down (no pun intended) somewhat lifeless Resident Evil.

Yes, the gun play is pretty fun and I enjoy playing as multiple characters, but everything about Revelations feels like a the Great Value version of the other games.

Nothing about it feels challenging or skillful, more frustrating due to the vast amount of enemies or health they have. The dodge mechanic is broken. The map and textures are limited. The graphics look bad for Xbox One even…

Just not the best outing for RE. There are good moments and the story isn’t bad, but this just didn’t feel like something born out of my favorite franchise.

60%PC

Overall, it was worthwhile playing, even though it is not one of the main titles.

Unfortunately, some of the gameplay did feel like a side-game, and the 3D map was atrocious. It would have also been nicer to have a bit more variety in the enemies - it was usually one type per section.

I'm not sure how I felt about the episodic nature of this game, but that did make it go by quite quick by giving you the story in bite-size pieces.

I really liked the cruise area, and think that would have been a great single-location for a for a Resi game - i.e. focus on that location and introduce many more puzzles, letting it feel more like the original games.

Story and gameplay was entertaining. i liked the shorter game of ~10 hours more than the larger ones. I hated the last chapter boss that took to long and was just to tedious. Why do the mess it up always at the last chapter with such a enemy. If it didn't it would be a 8 or more for me.

Despite the console restrictions this was clearly built around, and not graphically upgraded for PC, this is a decent RE universe Experience. Not the best RE but worth playing IMHO.

It was ok, but it really wasn't anything special. Almost nothing in the game was particularly interesting besides the scanning which even then, that got a little old by the halfway point and I did like that the game takes place on a ship and found that unique.

Everything else though tries so hard to be two different games, there's back tracking and scary moments that makes it seem a little more like classic Resident Evil, but there are so many chapters where the game puts you into these non stop shootout segments that just strip away any atmosphere the game had. It also didn't help that the characters never stopped talking which I hate in a horror game because it just pulls me out of it.

The enemies are very spongy but that's ok because that how they were in the classic games and it lent to that old school Resident Evil feel. I also thought at least the first couple of bosses were really well done but others felt very uninspired and by the numbers especially the turret sections.

Overall it's not a terrible game but it still has a bad case of identity crisis that makes it very awkward and hard to fully enjoy.

55%PlayStation 4

Decent game but compared to other REs this one doesn’t stand out and isn’t to memorable.

A great spin-off from the main games.

It suffers from some old game jank (like swimming being terrible - thankfully not used often though) and the final boss is annoying af, but it's great otherwise. Definitely worth a shot.

This is definitely a good Resident Evil. It has some horror aspects, a great location and in my first playthrough I were really excited when discovering a new bossfight.
However with every playthrough the parts between the main story get worse.
It just breaks the atmosphere that has been built up to this point, just for cheap linear action gameplay.
Sadly these parts are fairly common in this game, making the game less replayable.
I guess this is a good game to get started with Resident Evil, at least it was a good start for me and on steam sale you can get it for around 7€, so if you're not sure if you want to play it just go for it on sale.

PORTUGUÊS

É um jogo muito bom, o gráfico me impressionou demais, jogar com a Jill depois de anos desde RE3 é muito satisfatório, esse sistema de duplas (Jill e Parker/ Chris e Jessica) funciona bem, os dialogos são bons, pena que a inteligência artificial do seu sidekick não é das melhores, e o dano que eles causam não é tão grande assim, você vai precisar estar a frente da batalha a maior parte do tempo.
A história é bacana, é em formato de episódios e divide o problema em momentos de ação e outra parte esse problema é resolvido atrás da mesa (questões politicas ficaram bem mais em cena nesse jogo).
O sistema de arma é diferente, mas gostei, poder upar a sua arma foi uma coisa bem legal

It's a very good game, the graphics impressed me a lot, playing with Jill after years since RE3 is very satisfying, this duo system (Jill and Parker / Chris and Jessica) works well, the dialogues are good, too bad the intelligence artificial sidekick isn't the best, and the damage they do isn't that great, you'll need to be upfront most of the time.
The story is cool, it's in the format of episodes and divides the problem into moments of action, and in another part this problem is solved behind the table (political issues were much more on the scene in this game).
The weapon system is different, but I liked it, being able to level up your weapon was a really cool thing

Вроде бы говорили, что эта игра должна связать 4 и 5 части, но тут рассказывается вообще отдельная история. Геймплейно за Джилл вообще класс, ходишь исследуешь локации, ищешь ключи, открываешь двери. Игра вообще очень сильно делает оммаж на первую часть, архитектура похожая, многие элементы перешли из первой части, по типу дробовик на стене, всяких ключей с шлемами и т.д. Проблема в скучнейших флэшбэках, всякие экшоновые моменты скучныыые, тупо десятками спаунят одинаковых врагов, игра под конец слишком много таких нудных моментов вставляет. Механика с улучшением оружия через апгрейды хорошая. В целом, игра норм, особенно первые две трети

this game reminds me of the classic resident evil games. While the story at times get really over complicated and the twists in hindsight don't make any sense what so ever, its still a fun game to play. The boss battles are fair and not overly unfair. The final boss does have his moments but can still be beaten. There weren't as many scares as the original but still a fun game.

Loved the throw back feel of the game to the original game and the exploration of the ship. The jumping story lines and overall story were not as engaging as I wanted it to be.

RE Revalations is a good 3rd person style RE game. It's not a masterpiece or a must play (unless you own a 3DS) but simply a good Resident Evil game from an era where the quality of Resident Evil games was questionable. Resident Evil 4 was a masterpiece and a game that everyone should experience at least once. After Resident Evil 4, the mainline games started to go downhill in many fans eyes until RE7 changed the formula. This game came out the same year that many fans were complaining about RE6 straying far from the series survival horror roots. While this RE6 drama was going on, Capcom also released this game on 3DS which captured the Resident Evil feel and assured some fans that there was still hope for the franchise.

This game makes an interesting choice where we play the campaign through multiple characters' perspectives at different times. This and the games choice of setting being a ship were some unique points but overall not much about this game really stands out. The setting being just a ship rather than a larger area reminds me of RE1 being confined to one large building the whole game. Resident Evil Revalations is just a solid RE game for fans who like the RE4 style gameplay or 3DS owners who want an M rated game. I would strongly recommend this game to fans of the series but you wouldn't be missing out on much if you did happen to skip this game. That may sound like a negative but isn't that what a spin off like this should be?

Not a very scary game, except for some little moments here and there, but still a very fun action adventure game. the game has aged graphically, but at many place you won't really notice it, since the game is rather dark in the atmosphere, though a hd texture pack would have been neat. controls are pretty good, except for dodging, which is kinda clunky and seems to have worked at times, but at other times it hasn't.
Overall it's not a masterpiece and not one of the best in the RE franchise, but still a fun one.

RE Revelations is an entertaining but very disposable game. It attempts to combine the action-focus of RE 4-6 with some survival horror exploration and backtracking. Unfortunately, Revelations underwhelms in both areas. It's a mediocre action game and its survival horror elements are too half-hearted to leave an impact. At the time of its release, I was happy to see RE get back to its roots a little bit but after RE7 fully re-committed to survival horror, Revelations feels like a master of none. As much as RE6 disappoints, it is still a blast to play and clearly better than this.

A few things let Revelations down, most notably structure. Jill's journey on the boat is the "survival horror" part of the game and makes up over half of the runtime. This stuff is easily the best part of the game but it constantly shifts focus to have you play as someone else for 10 minutes, usually in far-away settings. These sections are all short, linear, and action-heavy. The weapon boxes and upgrades are not available in these parts, which makes sense in-world but takes away any depth these portions could have. The Terragrigia sections are awesome but the rest of these added nothing to the game for me.

Even in the Jill sections, the depth is pretty limited. There's no inventory management really, you're just limited to 3 guns at a time. The weapon upgrades are nice but rarely require any decision-making and trading out upgrades can be annoying. The level design isn't great either and the ship is just kind of boring compared to most of the series. Enemy design also falters, particularly with its goopy standard enemies. There are several types of them but they all look and feel the same and aren't that scary. The bosses aren't bad and there are a couple stalker-esque enemies but the enemies overall disappoint.

Rev added 2 notable mechanics with its dodge move and scanner, both of which are a miss for me. The dodge is just like RE3's in that it's very unintuitive and you'll generally do it on accident rather than intentionally. This should have been moved to a button for the HD release. It's rarely needed, with the possible exception of its brutal final boss that pushes way too hard. The scanning mechanic is also annoying. It slows the game down too much and feels like padding.

The plot is absolute nonsense, reaching far outside where it should. It wants to be 24 and fails spectacularly. There are countless plot twists that all fail to land, bolstered by awful, unlikeable characters. Even Chris and Jill are pretty unlikeable here. The focus on being a political thriller also really detracts from the horror. This game is very reminiscent of those crappy RE CG movies.

Revelations is just a mixed bag that doesn't really excel at anything. It was impressive at the time, especially on the 3DS, and it was a step in the right direction but history hasn't been kind to it. It's an entertaining enough way to kill a weekend but absolutely skippable unless you're starved for RE content.

The second worst RE I played after RE6. Essentially this is not an RE per se.

70%Emulated

Revelations is essentially a mixture of the series’ survival horror roots and the action based horror introduced in RE4. Being stranded out at sea on an old cruise ship is a great setting, though the survival aspect is mostly absent as the sheer amount of ammunition and healing items found scattered around the map takes away a lot of the tension in the atmosphere. I thought the shooting mechanics were fun and the weapon upgrade system is a nice touch that allows for a lot of different options in terms of load out. That being said, the bosses are particularly annoying as many are bullet sponges with attacks that hit like a freight train or outright kill you instantly. Your slow movement, a timed dodge that is difficult to pull off, and somewhat limited field of view doesn’t help in these tense combat scenarios, making most—if not all—of my game overs feel rather unfair. The enemy designs tend to be underwhelming and bland as well, but Revelations is a technical marvel and visual treat for the 3DS regardless.

The Resident Evil series has never been a stranger to schlocky, B-tier plots, and what is here is no different. The story is presented as a sort of episodic, prime-time TV thriller—an odd choice considering some of the episodes are quite short in terms of playtime. The frequent switching between characters throws the pacing off somewhat and makes the already convoluted plot difficult to follow while simultaneously taking itself too seriously.
