In Resident Evil Revelations 2, you (and ideally another player) initially play as either Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield’s sister, or Moira Burton, Barry Burton’s daughter, who have been kidnapped at a TerraSave gathering (because Terr doesn’t have to end with orist) and find themselves in a mysterious abandoned facility filled with monsters. Barry Burton, accompanied by a mysterious young girl named Natallia, follow in their tracks hoping to find out what happened to Claire and Moira.
Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a cooperative survival horror game which is a good mix of the old school and modern designs of the Resident Evil franchise.
Pros
- Good mix of modern, actiony behind the shoulder, and old school, survival / puzzle solving / methodical, Resident Evil gameplay that should appeal to a wide-range of players.
- Great asymmetric coop core gameplay with four different characters to play as, each of which plays quite differently from one another.
Cons
- Story is a little too out there, one could probably qualify it as being just plain bad.
- You get a good or a bad ending based on a excruciatingly small choice in one of the episodes, the bad ending is extremely anti-climatic compared to the good ending and having these two endings doesn’t add anything to the game.
- Gameplay gets a tad repetitive towards the end of the fourth (and last real) episode due to the lack of enemy variety and new gameplay elements.
If you’re a fan of the Resident Evil series or if you’re looking for a fun horror coop game to play with a friend then you can’t go wrong with Resident Evil Revelations 2.
