Revelations is what i'd call the "hidden gem" in the franchise. It has some issues, but it''s overall a very competently made Resident Evil game. Funny how this is actually a 3DS game, and yet it's still fully fledged installment to the franchise and not a cheap handheld game like i initially thought. Gameplay, design, story and presentation are surprisingly solid and hold up well for a handheld that couldn't even match the hardware power of a PS2. Capcom basically said "F*** it, we're gonna make a real Resident Evil game on this thing!" and this is just funny to me.
Played this one with a friend and man, did we have a great time with it. RE4 is still the objectively better game, but what it lacks is a co-op mode, which RE5 has, thus increasing the potential fun at least tenfold. Bonus points for the Switch version supporting gyro-aim which for me makes it the best way to play, despite the lower framerate.
There is no denying the influence that this game brought to the industry. It's so well made that to this very day literally no game imitating it managed to surpass its legendary status as one of the best and most influental games ever made.
