It's a short RPG that shows its age, but the fun story, the funny writing, and the unique art style really do make it stand out. The box art itself was something that always got my attention, but I'm glad to have finally played the game. I'd recommend it if you've finally wanted to see what the fuss was about. There's better RPGs out there, but there's also plenty worse ones.

It's a pretty good game, but a far cry from Resident Evil 4. The AI for your partner is god awful, usually susceptible to dying in obvious traps or using large healing items on a small wound. The over the top camp and cheesiness that comes with the story is pretty great, though. I'd recommend it for people getting into the series, but there's way better Resident Evils out there.

An absolute delight from beginning to end. I love Pokemon games that really just let the animals be animals, and this does that in spades. For 22 years I've just wanted another Pokemon Snap with more Pokemon in it, and this is exactly what I got. I usually wait a while before getting a game when it comes out, but this was a minute 1 buy for me. If you love Pokemon as just wild animals, you're gonna be so engrossed in this honestly addicting game. Half a point off because I wanted a mansion or some kinda steel plant as a course and that wasn't there.
Pure schlock in every sense. While I commend it for having paths with a unique playstyle to all of them, they don't blend together into anything fun or cohesive. And considering how much time, effort, and money went into it for it to just come out like a lukewarm fart, I'd be lying if I didn't say it was bad. Like, very bad. Although I will end this review on a positive note, mostly because the zombie president had me laughing all throughout the game.
This game blows Revelations 1 out of the water. I actually enjoy the new characters, and Barry Burton is probably one of my favorite characters to play as next to Leon and Jill. Everything's improved, even with the partner character serving a unique purpose that couldn't have just been added to the main character. Plus Raid mode is a major improvement and no longer feels like the tedious grind it was in Revelations 1. I hope to see Barry again and his family of zombie busters, they were a welcome addition to the franchise.
If you're just getting into Resident Evil just as I was, Resident Evil Revelations 2 is definitely up there on what games you should be playing.

This was a pretty great RE game, but from me working backwards, the classic tank controls took a lot of getting used to. The soundtrack on this game has been the best I've heard from Resident Evil so far. The twins had me very interested and keep me wanting to see more of them.
I do have to say that some puzzles are rather cryptic, but from what I've heard that's more standard to classic RE than anything. And is it maybe my TV, but is the PS4 version just darker and harder to see things in? I checked other playthroughs to see if it was the game itself, but they were much brighter. Either way, I did enjoy my time with the game, albeit I was frustrated near the end because of instant death traps.

A breath of incredible fresh air to the Resident Evil series, while also keeping the mainstays of the series that made it great to begin with. I am in full support of the new Ethan Winters trilogy, and I hope that Capcom continues this gameplay style for years to come.
Also, I want Joe Baker in more things, because any dude who can punch a monster's head clean off his body is someone you should keep around.
