2014.31: Resident Evil: Revelations

  
Completed in 6hours:15mins on Normal

I always enjoy scenarios where you go to just going investigate a situation. On top of that, I enjoy them when they are isolated in the middle of the ocean, like a ship. Which is where this game takes place and thanks to that immediately hooked me in.

What follows is tense close corridor combat, some big areas where you have to manoeuvre around tough enemies smartly to take them out and a plot that is....Well, Resident Evil in nature.

There was enough entertainment here to keep me going for the 6 hours it took to complete and as it was a port of a portable game, it is broken up to 'easy to bite' chapters which makes stopping and coming back to it easier. Not something I thought I would enjoy playing on the PC, but in this game's case it worked well due to the nature of the gameplay and story as you jump between different characters at different intervals of the story.

You can also investigate environments for nice little secrets in forms of more back story or 'custom parts', which at weapon crates allows you to upgrade weapons with things like more damage, bigger clip size, faster fire rate and so on. These 'parts' can be applied to any weapon of choice and you can mix and match to your heart's desire. Me, myself ended up making a super strong shotgun with a big ass clip and reduced spread. Worked pretty well.

I enjoyed the setting and the action was fun enough, so I think overall this was a GOOD game,

6/10.
