Resident Evil: Revelations Reviews
Resident Evil Revelations is a game out of time and it doesn't hold up to the standard of the hardware it's trying to compete on. Is it still classic style Resident Evil? Yeah, sure. But it's hard to say whether that's enough in 2017, and with the rest of its issues, it certainly lacks in many departments.
On the whole, Resident Evil: Revelations is perfect for fans of the franchise who don't own a 3DS or didn't take advantage of the last-gen release.
Resident Evil: Revelations is a great and enjoyable survival horror. Perhaps, the PS4/One version isn't exactly the best way to go, but it's certainly a great porting of a game made in 2012.

If you know nothing but Resident Evil 7, then you may well find this as a step back, but if you’re looking for a solid Resident Evil game or simply a horror title in general, then Resident Evil Revelations isn’t a bad way to go
Taken on those terms, Resident Evil Revelations fits right in, making it a highly enjoyable installment in the series — and one that shouldn’t be missed out on.
Resident Evil Revelations was and continues to be a great game, but also a hesitant one that lacked confidence to fully return the series to its survival horror roots.
It's still a better-than-average game that features a classic series plot and two of my favorite characters. If you go into it with the understanding that this is a port of a handheld game, you should be more than pleased with it.
There isn't much new on show here, but fans won't really mind - it's an entertaining romp through the Queen Zenobia emulating the heydays of the series. When you're low on ammo and out of herbs, dreading ambushes at every corner, you're reminded what made Resident Evil so good in the first place.
If you are the one who likes horror games or admires the old Resident Evil games, it's definitely worth trying.

If you're a newcomer to Resident Evil, this is not the place to start. Go with this year's Resident Evil 7 if you're looking for something innovative, modern and terrifying. If pure action is what you're after, the remastered editions of Resident Evil 4 and 5 are much easier recommendations.
Resident Evil: Revelations on PS4 is basically the same game we've seen in the past generation, with a few graphical improvements. If you have already played it, especially in the 3DS where the title was more impressive, there is nothing new here. If you have not already done so, this new version is the best option available on the market.

I'd dare say that most Resident Evil fans have possibly found a way to have played this already, and there is really no incentive to come back for another round.
Resident Evil Revelations is a fairly basic port for the PS4 and Xbox One. The addition of 60 FPS to the re-release of the game is nice and makes the gameplay experience smoother, but the visuals are dated by now and the presentation still suffers from the handheld origins.
The 3DS origins are apparent on more than the graphical side, as the episodic nature coupled with the flashback jumps and multiple characters weighs heavy on Resident Evil: Revelations' story mode, breaking things up far too often, instead of letting things flow in what is otherwise a great survival horror setting. Overlooking the pitfalls, this is still a solid action game that fans of modernised third-person shooter Resi will get some mileage out of, and is multiplied tenfold when diving into Raid Mode.
Resident Evil Revelations isn’t a bad horror game. Though it is a remaster. If you’re looking for a superior horror experience, might we point you towards its sequel, Resident Evil Revelations 2 which is a far more better game?
Visually, Resident Evil: Revelations is a bit rough around the edges but that doesn't hold it back from being an intense and enjoyable action-based entry in the series, either by playing solo or teaming up with a friend in Raid Mode.
Resident Evil: Revelations is a good port. The story is fun, the atmosphere is immersive, but graphics are a little too rusty compared to the new games. On the bright side, you don't have to worry about bugs and optimization.

If you’re desperate to complete your remastered Resident Evil collection, and have never played Resident Evil: Revelations before, the low price point is appealing. The game is certainly worth experiencing for Resident Evil fans, if only for the ridiculous and entertaining plot.
Since gracing the screens of the 3DS way back in 2012, Resident Evil Revelations has been one of the most anticipated Resident Evil games to receive a HD Remaster for PS4 this year. Following in the footsteps of the other Resident Evil games, Revelations follows series regulars and fan favourites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they explore a terrorist hideaway and the biological organic weaponry (B.O.W) that has been created on an abandoned cruise ship, The Queen Zenobia.
If you’re new to the series and have recently jumped into Resident Evil 7, then Revelations gives you a taste of nostalgia, complete with the cheesy characters and dialogue that fans love, but most importantly, it’s a horror game at its core
