So Christmas Day saw my daughter buy RER2 for her Switch and I thought we were playing on a PS4 ... It looked REALLY good and above what I'm used to on the Switch... Maybe I haven't seen enough of the good looking games but ...

Anyway, I was surprised at how well it controls (better than RE4) and I dug the switching mechanics... Story was enticing and it made my visit there even more enjoyable because we got to experience it together!

I will probably get this on my Switch (and then transfer it over to my EVENTUAL Switch 2) once I get a new controller.

What about y'all? What was your experience with this game?

The Revelations games suck. Fuckin Ooze

Is there a lore reason why Capcon made Claire Redfield look like Tobey Maguire?

 

[Baemono]

Isn't Revelations a 3DS spin-off series ?

Revelations 1 was mediocre AF.

Revelations 2 is better than Code Veronica, 0, 5, 6 and Village combined.

There, I said it.

I was really impressed by how the stories intersect, narratively, structurally and mechanically. Sure it's a bit cheap-looking and janky compared to the numbered titles, and some of the skill tree stuff is really dumb, but it's a solid game with interesting lore.

The Rev games really aren't bad at all, Rev2 in particular. They feel a little low-budget at times but they still bring the atmosphere and the scares. Honestly, I'd put Rev2 above several of the mainline games (RE0, RE5, RE6, maybe even RE7). The motion controls are great.

It has an excellent multiplayer mode! Don't neglect it. Especially since you said you bought it for your daughter; I think Raid Mode alone is worth the price of admission.

RE Revelations 2 is underrated as hell! It sold me on the Xbox One in 2014 (because it ran better on that platform).

Revelations 2 benefits greatly from the Switch 2 hardware without even getting a patch. Seems Capcom put in a 60fps frame rate cap on the Switch 1 version, even though the hardware almost never hits it. With the new hardware, it feels buttery smooth.

And yet people liked RE7's mud monsters.

Those suck too

They're both good because I can actually play as a female legacy character.

It's been a long time since i played them. Wish i remembered them more to give a better opinion.
I thought 1 was good especially considering it was originally a 3DS game.
I didn't like 2 at all, visually downgraded, they doubled down on the episodic structure, i hated Moira Burton character.

I like Rev 2 more than any mainline entry since RE4 so there's that. It has its issues but the switch mechanic is legit fun and well done imo. I also like the locations despite the barebones graphics, it has some good atmosphere.

I played Revelations on the 3DS whenever it came out. Got the special controller addon to give you a second joystick. At the time the game felt great because it was wildly different from other mobile games (iOS or handhelds). I replayed the game a few years ago on Switch and it felt like a slog. Can't bring myself to playthrough Revelations 2. And I love RE4, RE5, RE2R, RE4R, etc.

Not here. Made the last 1/3 of the game suck. Game went from masterpiece to meh.

Revelations 2 was a terrible looking game even by last gen
