It doesn't quite have the memorable moody tunes of the original series, but the dynamic shifts of the music, the audio design of ambiance and monsters is well-handled, with good depth of audio for headphone users, and a good layer of subtlety which help propel the title further to a more engaging experience. While the graphics leave some things to be desired, the sound design is well-handled. That's not to say this is some complete return to form or a classic-styled survival-horror game, but it recalls back to the older series while also not quite feeling it's living in the past. However, I think with this title it's helped me better understand what element is missing from those games, besides the obvious flaws that something like Resident Evil 6 has, Revelations 2 comes as something of a reminder of elements of RE I deeply appreciate and love that have been mostly absent in recent years. Revelations 1 was okay, I enjoyed it well enough, but its handheld origins showed strongly and really, the design of the game was kind of dull at times, and it never quite gave that classic Resident Evil feel it claimed it would. RE5 and RE6 were fun action co-op games for me, RE5 was a fun arcade shooter with some fun monsters, RE6 had some fun combat mechanics with a sort of uneven-quality campaign but great Mercenaries.
Now I say that as someone who actually liked Resident Evil Umbrella+Darkside Chronicles, RE5, Revelations 1, and Resident Evil 6 well enough for what they were. However, behind this lays what may be one of the stronger Resident Evil games in years that manages to be a solid episodic title, a solid survival-action game, and more atmosphere and horror-oriented and feeling more like 'Resident Evil' than probably the last several RE games combined. Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a decidedly low-budget affair, it's not particularly graphically impressive and there is a level of jank to it all. The following is a review of the game from a long-time Resident Evil fan.
