Resident Evil Revelations

This is might actually be my favorite Resident Evil game. It's still a survival horror, with more updated/combat controls. It's not as actiony as the newer RE games like 6 or the 3rd remake, but defiantly more actiony than the first few RE games. There's also a CO-OP/challenge mode which adds many more hours for enjoyment.

Very good Resident Evil / Biohazard game, probably one of their best to me. Adding parts to make your weapons different and stronger was really cool and adds more completion to the game. It was my first game in the series too on the 2ds xl. 9/10 Will be completing 100% again, mainly for the achivements.

No

Its ok. Probably the least attractive RE game but its fun if you buy it at a low price.

yes good game

Resident Evil Revelations 1 was great. The story was fine. This story was set between the events of Resident Evil 4 And Resident Evil 5. The graphics look good. The gameplay system was great. The raid mode was great and it was fun to play co-op with friends. It's hard to do on solo without your partner. There is nothing much to say about this game. This game was decent and cool bosses. This game was an underrated Resident Evil Spin-Off Series. 8/10

amazing game , awesome bosses and story... a 10/10

it's a fun game to play casually. Going for all trinity in raid mode is hell.

well designed video game and very fun 2 play

Definetly wasnt the best resident evil game, but it also wasnt bad! Its probably my least favourite re game of all the ones ive played so far but I still would recommend playing if your interested in the story :)

Great game

I lobe chris and jill

Good

good not great

This was my first Resident Evil game ive played. Actually, this is the first game ive played period. So, of course theres gonna be some bias, but i find this to be one of the best games ever.. Incredible graphics for the time, Better gameplay than five, and one of the best, if not the best multiplayer modes. Simply put, i love this game to death

I only hit thumbs up because there's no mid option. Because that's what this game was when it first released on PS3 and still is: middling.

The story is not very good but not the worst thing ever. The controls are decent if a bit sluggish even at top sensitivity. The Genesis Scanner mechanic makes up for critical lack of herbs but could have done more like offer some sort of info on enemies. The enemies themselves, though, are too often bullet sponges while ammo is frustratingly limited by what you can carry even after finding all the ammo pouches.

I only recommend this to people who are diehard Resident Evil fans because that's really all it has going for it.

Underrated game <3

We lost the plot bout 30 minutes in.

good

RER soft-locked itself so many times 5+(Cutscene won't play, Door stuck), and with dodging being awful (I was stuck for 10 minutes getting needed dodge to progress)
While the game can be good it is far too buggy to properly play.

Esta bueno para pasar el tiempo.

this game is peak ngl

was fun

best game ever

Awesome Resident Evil game that's structured like a TV series with 12 episodes, non-stop plot twists, very tense orchestral soundtrack, and great graphics and cinematic cutscenes especially considering it was originally made for the 3DS. I laughed out loud at the twist in episode 6, that was so funny. The first level was pure horror, especially when playing on Infernal difficulty.
Contrary to what some may say, it actually is possible to play Infernal on your first playthrough. And it's quite an experience. You start without any weapon upgrades, ammo is limited, enemies are strong. There's a dodge mechanic in the game that's crucial because you don't have enough ammo to kill everything.

The gameplay changes once you get some mods. I really like the charge shot mod, which allows you to hold the fire button to increase damage. It's nice to save ammo like that, but the mod is only available later in the game. There's also a weapon mod to increase Daze chance which puts enemies into a stunned mode after which you can charge punch them. Reminds me a bit of RE4.
The scan mechanic puzzles me. I'm not sure what the added gameplay value of this is. But the game wants you to scan everything everywhere you go, because you'll find ammo and weapon mods that way. Scanning enemies will give you healing items. Very cumbersome if you ask me. Also takes you out of the game a bit.
Enemies are not as interesting as RE4. They're just varying amounts of skin and muscle. it's much more fun to bully enemies that look human, rather than these abominations that often don't even have a face. The Scarmiglione looks pretty cool though.
I also don't like that doors are indestructible

Most characters aren't super interesting either, because the story doesn't go into much depth. Everyone is just doing their job professionally. I think it would've been more fun to have someone be disgusted or shocked by all the gross parasitic monsters, it would've been more relatable at least.
Most characters I didn't like at first, but they grew on me. For example, that childish behavior of Quint ("I hate snow") gave me a bad first impression, but he gets better later on. Jill seems a little cold at first, but she's cool. Jessica on the other hand was annoying. She complains that Chris can't take a hint, but she is the one who's not taking any hint..
Rachel's little side story was intense. I wish we could've seen more of that. All other characters are just angry all the time. Rachel is the only one with different emotions. And it's very disturbing and fitting for a survival horror.

Soundtrack is epic. The intro song and episode end theme have that feel of a complicated TV series with all kinds of betrayals and reveals. I think the final boss theme was inspired One Winged Angel with the loud trumpet lines and triplets. Ride on Sea sounds like Trials of Fortitude, one of my favorite battle themes. Also, Scream is an amazing horror track, very rhythmic with lots of quick notes and pauses. It really feels like the whole orchestra could implode at any moment.

Raid mode is actually quite fun. Just simple combat without scanning or puzzles. The zombies are challenging with upgraded versions. I really like that it shows the damage with each hit. Also, you can unlock some new outfits by playing Raid mode. It's annoying though when a zombie spawns right next to you, while you're trying to get the No Damage bonus.

It's a good RE game. A mixture of both horror and action

7.75/10

it's ok for what it is but ı prefer the previous re games that ı played before this one

A decent game overall, but it suffers a bit from being originally developed for the 3DS, having a lower budget that its main series counterparts. I recommended it over RE6, as it is easier to follow the plot, and it is provides a more consistent experience overall. Despite this, RE5 provides a better horror-action experience in my opinion.

For a 3DS game ported to steam this game is wicked. Jackass and Grinder have the best character writing in the entire franchise. If you like RE5 then this is goated sauce.

3ds game that doesn't feel like one, good bio campaign specially at inferno difficulty, but the real game is the raid mode. Being on the spectrum is required to enjoy it, the 5 people that still play it are all japanese so this is extremely niche japan autism cock and ball grinding torture. I have played quite a few greedy gacha games and all of them are a lot more forgiving with the drops.

The dogshit clunky dodge system is the closest thing to voice training I have ever seen in a game and I wouldn't change it for nothing, you either get it kinda fast with little to no practice or it's some esoteric skill that a mere mortal cannot learn in a lifetime and you complain about it being the most bullshit thing ever.

CAPCOM I beg you, make an entire raid game instead of the slop like resistance or umbrella corps, add more maps, weapons, enemies, parts, skills, proper online play, events, special stages like the ghost ship, characters, even worse grinding (if that's even possible) and this beautiful dodge system that will age the game in 15 years at launch, I wouldn't play anything else for the rest of my life.

Why was Raymond turbo mewing throughout the whole game? It made me uncomfortable.

old school fun

Overall Score: 8.5/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️
Pros: ✅ Classic survival horror vibes ✅ Atmospheric and tense setting ✅ Engaging story ✅ Solid gameplay and gunplay ✅ Raid Mode is fun and addictive
Cons: ❌ Some backtracking issues ❌ Occasional pacing problems ❌ Controls feel clunky at times

Review Breakdown
1. Gameplay - 8.5/10 🎮
"Resident Evil: Revelations" brings back the tense survival horror elements of classic RE games while blending in modern action mechanics. The game is structured like an episodic TV series, which helps keep the suspense high. You’ll explore creepy, claustrophobic environments, manage limited ammo, and take on grotesque bio-organic weapons (B.O.Ws).

✅ A strong mix of horror and action
✅ Tense, atmospheric combat with limited resources
✅ Raid Mode is an addictive co-op experience
❌ Some sections feel repetitive with too much backtracking

2. Story & Atmosphere - 9/10 🧩
Set between Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, Revelations follows Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield as they investigate a derelict cruise ship, the Queen Zenobia. The setting is a standout feature—dark, eerie hallways reminiscent of the Spencer Mansion make for an excellent horror atmosphere.

✅ Well-paced, intriguing storyline
✅ Strong survival horror elements bring back old-school RE vibes
✅ Memorable set pieces and enemy encounters
❌ Some side characters feel underdeveloped

3. Graphics & Sound - 8/10 🎵
Originally designed for the 3DS, the HD versions received a visual overhaul. While it’s not as polished as later RE games, the lighting and environmental design are effective at creating tension. The soundtrack and sound design amplify the horror—creepy noises, eerie silence, and monster roars all add to the immersion.

✅ Great atmosphere with improved HD visuals
✅ Strong use of lighting and sound for tension
❌ Character animations can feel stiff at times

4. Combat & Controls - 8/10 🔫
The over-the-shoulder combat works well, similar to Resident Evil 4/5, but movement can feel a bit clunky at times. The addition of scanning mechanics (Genesis Scanner) to find hidden items adds a layer of strategy but isn’t always fun to use repeatedly.

✅ Satisfying gunplay with tense, limited ammo mechanics
✅ Enemy designs are creepy and engaging
❌ Movement and aiming can feel sluggish

5. Multiplayer & Raid Mode - 9/10 👥
One of Revelations’ best features is Raid Mode, which turns the game into a fast-paced, action-packed experience with co-op options. It offers tons of replayability with different weapons, difficulty levels, and characters to unlock.

✅ Raid Mode is incredibly fun and addictive
✅ Multiplayer co-op extends replay value
❌ Main campaign is strictly single-player

Final Verdict: 8.5/10 - A Fantastic Blend of Horror & Action
"Resident Evil: Revelations" successfully blends old-school survival horror with modern action, making it a must-play for Resident Evil fans. The eerie ship setting, tense atmosphere, and engaging story make it stand out, while Raid Mode adds hours of replayability. However, some pacing issues, backtracking, and slightly clunky controls keep it from reaching perfection.

🔹 Recommended for: Resident Evil fans, survival horror lovers, players who enjoy co-op modes
🔹 Not for: Players who dislike slower-paced horror games or prefer pure action

Would I recommend Resident Evil: Revelations? Yes—especially if you love classic RE tension with a modern twist! 🧟‍♂️

You know what’s worse than being stranded in the middle of the ocean? Being stranded in the middle of the ocean with zombies. So this is a spin off/ important titles in the games. It’s gets confusing what’s cannon when the make games for handheld system. Looking at you Kingdom Hearts. Anyways for being a 3Ds game being ported to PC was weird experience. The game was deigned for 3DS controls so the can feel wacky at times with its control scheme ported to keyboard or Xbox controller. The map it’s self is really small since of the smaller game file it was for, although for a Resident Evil game it still works. The story goes that Chris has been kidnapped and it’s up to Jill to go save him. However it was a trap for her she must fight for her life to get off the cruise ship of horror. It had good atmosphere and it is a truly scary place to be trapped with by monsters. It worth a play through, but there is no co op for the story which is a bummer . RE game be fun co op games. Is it my favorite? No. It got a couple of hiccups here and there but still a spooky ride. If I was stuck on a boat with these monsters I might just sink the ship. 6.5/10

Resident Evil Revelations fails to deliver a satisfying experience, feeling more like a chore than a compelling survival horror game. The gameplay lacks excitement, with dull and unintuitive enemy design that makes encounters feel uninspired. The constant need to scan environments for items quickly becomes tedious rather than engaging, and the puzzles offer little challenge or enjoyment. Perhaps the most frustrating aspect is the horrendous user interface, which is clunky and poorly designed. Overall, too many elements feel off, making this entry a disappointing misstep for the franchise.

absolute shit, runs well but damn this game is terrible, bad gameplay and terrible story and im not even gonna finish it.

A middling entry in the RE franchise. I give it a Thumbs Up, but a small one.

It exists in that weird period between RE5 and RE6 where Capcom was unsure on where to take the series. This game largely plays similarly to RE5, but more of an emphasis on classic RE: find keys to open doors and get from A to B.

It unfortunately suffers from the bizarre choice to make the game episodic. Yeah... this has not aged well at all. If anything, this game would have greatly benefited from being just Jill on the ship. No Parker and no other scenarios. Just JIll exploring around on this large ship, because the design of the ship itself is quite Resident Evil-y.

In fact, there's a mission in the game's side mode, Raid Mode, that really should have been what the main campaign was: Ghost Ship has you trek through majority of the ship and fight increasingly difficult enemies as you progress.

Instead, the main campaign will interrupt your current gameplay flow by throwing in different episodes with characters in different areas that you honestly don't give a crap about. It's kind of annoying. You'll be playing as Jill going through the ship and just having a good time exploring, but Oh No - we need to know the lore on Terragrigia and what happened to Parker and Jessica on the day it fell. We also apparently deeply needed to know the lore on what Chris and Jessica were up to during all this while exploring a bland snowy tundra. These side segments play just as well as I am describing them - it's easy to tell that they were developed after the ship was as they just feel so tacked on.

When you do play as Jill, the game is mostly fun... as long as you aren't fighting a lot of enemies. This game's big bad BOW is the Oozes. Basically, imagine if you took the Regenerators from RE4 and made them more goofy. There's a wide variety of what these Oozes will come in: some just shamble at ya, some will shoot stuff at you, some have really long claws and will try to rip you up, some explode, some have a shield and sword and act like zombie knights.
It's interesting to see what they did with the idea of the Oozes, but fighting them ranges from easy-peasy to extremely frustrating.
Constantly, you'll be shot at by something off screen, and you'll be like "Where the hell did that come from??? Oh. That dude way over there."
And the knight ones can be quite a threat when you destroy one of its parts.
Destroy its torso and you got a walking electric tentacle spamming slaps at you.
Destroy its legs and now you got this crawling lunging sword coming at you.

Cool ideas, but boy does it get frustrating to deal with especially in Raid Mode where the enemies get different modifiers. Some get super speed. Some get a big buff to their physical attack power. Some get super tanky and take forever to kill. Etc.

Raid Mode itself was a good idea, but Jesus is it grindy as hell. I don't think it's actually possible to complete Raid Mode without using co-op at some point. Maybe you can, but damn, you will be grinding a metric ass ton. Interestingly enough, completing the Ghost Ship level with a Trinity Bonus (no damage taken, all enemies killed, and be at the appropriate level) gives you some of the best weapon parts in the game - the problem is - you definitely need some of that gear to complete Ghost Ship. It's a weird circle of dependencies. I do not envy the person who completed Ghost Ship without any of that gear as that must have been one hell of a slog to play through.

I actually prefer the 3DS version of this game's Raid Mode as it was way more straight-forward. I don't know why they felt the need to make it so MMO-y in this version.

So, Revelations as a whole is decent, but it has its quirky rough spots. I very tacitly recommend it if you are just looking for something to scratch an RE itch or if you want to play a grindy loot based third-person-shooter in Raid Mode. It has its fun moments - especially when you get to explore the ship, but the lows are deep. If you can put up with, give it a play.

Good game. PC port was well done.

Your nostalgia glasses are on way too tight.

jill and chris

Resident Evil: Revelations – A Tense and Atmospheric Return to Survival Horror

It was a much better game than i expected, considering it was a 3DS port.

This game is like an abusive ex. I hate it, it hurts me, tortures me, but for some reason I can't help loving it.

its fine but the characters suck and dodging is bad, buy for 5 dollars if you like resident evil, otherwise this game can go to ohio like it drank the fricken grimace shake
