“Absolute blast, amazing RE: Revelations 2 gameplay-wise and also story-wise after finishing Rev 1.”

“The last of what I refer to as Generation 2 of Resident Evil. It started with 4 and went all the way to Revelations 2 and I've gotta say it's not a bad game to end things on. We finally get Barry and Claire back and…”

“this is great, what a pleasant surprise, the coop is seamless, combat is smooth, ties in some RE story brings back some characters, tons of challenges, thoroughly enjoyed”
“Massively underrated Resident Evil game! I highly recommend this title to any RE fan. It’s great to have Claire as a protagonist in another game as well as Barry too. One of the biggest highlights of Revelations 2 has…”
“If you're playing co-op the Claire/Moira segments are pretty enjoyable, the Barry/Natalia ones much less so (especially if you're stuck playing as Natalia). Also, this is not a true online co-op game, you have to use…”

“Great follow up for Revelations 1, big improvement on graphics. revelations 1 had a better story in my opinion”
“story 7.3 The story starts off strong, and the prison section is easily the best part of the game. Even when you reach the city, things are still interesting at first, but later the plot becomes messy and hard to…”
“There are some spoilers here so beware. This was truly a phenomenal game that brought back what I loved about Resident Evil. To start off, the environments were great. I loved the aesthetics of this game. From the…”

“3/5 Action heavy, if you like RE4 gameplay its worth trying. Lacks the polish of the main RE games. and i would have rated higher but there was a game breaking glitch before the final fight (only glitch i ran into).”
“Story is great, gameplay is okey. It is very easy in both combat and puzzles but worth it for the story”
“Nice RE game, it does feels a bit different this time .. but not a bad RE game .. Yes it does feel a bit short .. would prefer 5 episodes instead of 4, but it's a nice story set between RE5 and RE6 .. gameplay wise ..…”

“This game is really good if you're having trouble sleeping play it 1hr before bed and you'll probably be fast asleep.”
“Fantastic game, enjoyed it way more than the 1st. Saw some reviews saying this is the worst re game they've played or its boring/a slog but personally I enjoyed every second of it. It shares a lot of similarties to the…”
“A huge downgrade from Revelations 1; I genuinely don't understand how people enjoy this and even say it's better than the former. The AI gets itself into danger all the time and there's no way to stop it, and there are…”

“This game is properly rated, 6.5-7 out of 10 is about what I'd give it. Lots of sections drag on way too long, and overall I felt the gameplay was a step back from basically every mainline RE game, however, I do think…”

“This game is genuinely awful, dated, and lacking a proper co-op system. Easily locks you into a bad ending as well. Id avoid at all costs and play pretty much anything else.”

“This is a hard game to review. While the Revelations 1 was fairly campy, didn't take itself too seriously and had some quirks, it was a fairly tight survival horror game. Revelations 2 is more like Saw meets Resident…”
“I am sad. This game's story isn't a direct follow-up to the first one (events are mentioned from time-to-time). There is co-op this time, but it is only local co-op and your "friend" will be on 24/7 flashlight duty.…”
“it has some really annoying issues, and I don't mean bugs, I mean terribly implemented gameplay features. the AI that takes control of whatever character you aren't playing as is as dumb as a brick and half as useful.…”

“[h1] Underrated [/h1] [u] 8/10 [/u] RE:R2 is a very underrated game. It improves upon the first game in nearly every way. Gameplay wise, RE:R2 introduces some of the best enemy design in the entire franchise, and also brings back the duo protagonist feature from RE0, which I was…”

This was my first Resident Evil game EVER back when i was a child, and it never escaped my memory. This is Resident Evil for me. Because i was the older brother, i always played as…”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“Boring and a slog, weird choice to not include online co-op in the main campaign. Wife and I played it through Steam Remote Play, but it diminishes the experience to play split-screen as opposed to one full screen each. Additionally, we encountered a bug at the final boss that…”
