Resident Evil: Revelations Reviews
Resident Evil Revelations was a step in the right direction five years ago, but has since worn out its welcome.
A further remastering of this Capcom series, which improves the work in Code Veronica X, but still does not offer enough improvements to justify repurchase.

Resident Evil: Revelations is a true survival-horror experience with a lot to offer on modern home consoles for only $20. Not everything in the game has made the jump to console perfectly, but if it's anything to go by, I sure as hell enjoyed this game a lot more than Resident Evil 6 (I'll still defend 5 even though it's not my favorite in the series). If Resident Evil 7: Biohazard wasn't enough for you this year, I can't think of a better game to recommend. Resident Evil: Revelations stays true to what made the first handful of Resident Evil titles great while also offering slight moments that delve more into the action oriented titles. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
This new edition of Resident Evil: Revelations, even if without unpublished contents, demonstrates once again the beauty of the original game.

Its varied focus on action, exploring and suspense keeps working wonderfully on today's standards, altough current consoles could use a more ambitious graphical performance.

My hang-ups with the aiming aside, the PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil Revelations is the best version of the survival horror outing. The problem is that it's 2017. It's been over five years since Revelations (or I guess it was technically "Revelaitons" then) released on Nintendo 3DS, and what was once a technical marvel is an outdated-looking title on current consoles. Capcom has done a nice job cleaning it up, but it's still ultimately a handheld title that was designed to be viewed on a 240p screen. That won't matter to the die hard Resident Evil fans who plan on picking up the same game for the third time, but it's becoming harder to recommend to newcomers as time passes.
Resident Evil Revelations is a fun and captivating game that now offers its best graphics and more content than ever. However, its modest origins as a 3DS game imposes certain gameplay limitations that puts it below everything that has come afterwards, relegating it to a filler status among the catalogue of Resident Evil titles available on current platforms.
All told, this is the best that Revelations has ever looked, and series fans won't be disappointed.
Another Resident Evil: Revelations port suffers from the laziness of developers, which translates into outdated graphics and the lack of worthwhile innovations (original game was released 5 years ago). On the other hand, you should buy this game if you love Resident Evil series and have not played through earlier versions of Revelations.

The PlayStation 4 version of Resident Evil: Revelations is the definitive version, but that doesn't carry as much weight as it would have a few years ago. We do think the campaign is still worth a playthrough, but with clunky controls, a graphical presentation that's showing its age, and an inferior raid mode, it's hard to recommend a voyage on this ship to anyone but newcomers.
Resident Evil Revelations is a great buy for Resi fans and a solid entry into the series for newcomers. Just don't expect anything new if you've already played the game on Nintendo 3DS or PS3.
Really, for those that have already played Revelations, there isn't any huge reason to run out and grab this again unless A. It's never been played before B. Love to collect or purchase anything with Resident Evil in the title, or C. Just simply want to replay it again on the new consoles. There's nothing really wrong with the game as far as coming over to the PS4, and mileage will vary on the repeated issues the game does have, like handheld design roots, scope, and limited animations.
The most distinctive change on PS4 and Xbox One is the bump up in frame rate for better performance
If you have already played as such, its purchase is highly dispensable.

Resident Evil Revelations on PS4 is a solid representation of the second-generation of games in the franchise that gets new life once again on current-gen consoles. Folks who never played the game before will get the most mileage out of this. If you only played it on 3DS, it might actually be worth picking up again as the experience feels different in the dark on the big screen. Those who already played it on PS3, meanwhile, really don’t have much reason to take this trip once again as it doesn’t really offer much that’s new. As much as I loved the original on 3DS, playing it a third time admittedly blunts its impact.
Although Resident Evil: Revelations remains a great game in its own right, it's hard to recommend this HD (HD-er?) version to even staunch loyalists of Capcom's fright fest, especially if they picked up the home console release in the last hardware generation. The exception would be those who really loved Raid, as the new Chaos mode might prove reason enough to revisit. Instead, this is probably best suited to those who've never played Revelations before, or who came to Resident Evil off the back of Resi 7 and are curious about the series' history. Even if you fall into that camp, unless you're a one format gamer, holding out for the Switch release seems wise.
This isn't an inherently bad game by any stretch of the imagination; it's just not one that managed to withstand the test of time, no matter how much Capcom tries to polish it up. And if you're a new player who adored Resident Evil 7 and you're wondering if this little spin-off game is worth jumping into, I'd say have a go with Revelations 2, see how you feel about it, and then take things from there.
Yes, it is a good game, but is basically the same title that many have already enjoyed.

Resident Evil Revelations is another great addition to the franchise. It maintains the survivor-horror feel that the series is known for. The campaign isn't the longest, but it is engaging and well worth the time. Raid mode is fun to go through afterwards and try out different weapons. Altogether a satisfying challenge and a very enjoyable experience that I had a hard time putting down.
Resident Evil Revelations is one of those worse remasters, published only for easy profit. You can buy it for the story... after big discount.
