For this being the first time I've finished the game after buying it 3 times, I had better like it a lot. I did.
Back during a time when Resi was a more action oriented series without the old limited space, ammo conservation or labyrinthine level design, Resident Evil Revelations decided to thread the needle, and on the 3DS of all things. It unfortunately still has some action focused set pieces, but they are few and short, the rest of the game is spent exploring a ship called the Queen Zenobia. You've got puzzles, weirdly shaped keys, and even though it's framed as episodic, you return to Jill with the same equipment and same parts of the maze unlocked for re-exploration further down the line. It's good. Just play this and Rev 2 instead when you think you want to play 5 and 6. It is arguably a more appropriate step for the series after 4 anyway.
I will say I've never played the 3DS version. That's a whole different story, but I genuinely can't believe it was on it, because it looks so good in basically all of its later iterations.
