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.

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.

Yes, it is a good game, but is basically the same title that many have already enjoyed.

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.

The most distinctive change on PS4 and Xbox One is the bump up in frame rate for better performance

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.

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.

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(or I guess it was technically "Revelaitons" then) released on Nintendo 3DS, and what was once a technical marvel is an outdated-looking title on current consoles.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 was a step in the right direction five years ago, but has since worn out its welcome.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 one of those worse remasters, published only for easy profit. You can buy it for the story... after big discount.

This new edition of Resident Evil: Revelations, even if without unpublished contents, demonstrates once again the beauty of the original game.
