In 2012, Resident Evil: Revelations was released on the 3DS and wowed audiences. It managed to pack a full console experience into a handheld, putting players into the shoes of secret agents aboard a stricken cruise ship, fending off mutants while unravelling a complex plot of intrigue and bio-terrorism.
Now Revelations returns to consoles (for a second time) and it’s showing its age. A five-year-old game built to run on handheld hardware nearly 10 years old, Revelations just doesn’t measure up as a console game in 2017, especially in wake of the series sea-change that was Resident Evil 7. The environments now feel small and bland, with clunky gameplay that comes across as a throwback. What this remastering offers is a bundling of all the original game’s DLC, plus the action-packed raid mode that remixes levels and enemies, but little that is truly new. Where Revelations was a great 3DS game, on state-of-the-art consoles it is but passable at best.
