I enjoyed it even more than the first Revelations.

There isn't a whole lot of story, it's mainly just Claire and Moira trying to escape the island they've been imprisoned on and Barry trying to find them (Though there are some interesting twists at the end), playing as both Claire and Barry was great and Moira and Natalia were good characters too, seeing how everyone developed over the course of the journey was fun, the game had a lot of that classic RE camp with cheesy one liners which is always nice. Also the main antagonist, the Overseer of the island is right up there with my fave RE villains.

The gameplay mechanics were pretty much like Rev one, but more polished so they were good, the game also implemented more stealth elements ala The Last of Us and I felt that was a nice addition which added more variety to the gameplay.

The game was a pretty even mix of survival horror and action. The early chapters felt much more survival horror where you have to actually conserve ammo, but the later chapters went full on action, I like both styles of the series so I enjoyed both.

One aspect of Rev 1 I preferred was the more metroidvania level design because the Rev 2 design was much more straightforward, with not as much backtracking and I also felt the island wasn't as memorable as the boat in Rev 1, but Rev 2 makes up for it with some of the absolute best, most creative and grotesque enemy design compared to the lackluster and bland enemy design of Rev 1.

Raid Mode is also included like in Rev 1 and it is just as fun as ever, even more so since you can play as almost all the most iconic RE characters in it this time including Jill, Chris, Claire, Barry and even Albert Wesker himself.

Great game all around
