Set between the harrowing events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil:Revelations 2 marks Capcom'stempered decision in bringing back the survival horror they once monopolized.
A sequel to immensely popularResident Evil: Revelations (which on it's own garnered enough popularity to get a console release post handheld debut), Revelations 2 was formally announced at TGS 2014, but only in the form of digital episodic downloads promising intense and unforgettable cliffhangers.
Yet, to those who love both handhelds and physical versions, this was a sad move on Capcom's part; fortunately, there is now a physical version which not only contains complete 4 episodes, but also the four alternate costumes, and a plethora of languages to choose from!
Regardless of version, Revelations 2 has a lot to offer to fans of the series. Trappedin a derelict prison on a mysterious island filled with grotesque creatures and other unknown horrors, fan favorite Claire Redfield finally returns in a starring role; supporting her is Moira Burton, daughter of the RE legend Barry Burton, who is also a playable character.
There is also the return of the popular raid mode, an arcade-like experience focused on quick wits and destructive combat. Hunk and Albert Wesker are both included as Raid Mode characters, as well as the Throwback Map Pack.
Finally, while survival horror games place a lot of weight on tension of the unknown, when a threat does reveal itself, it must be terrifying; introducing abrand new type of enemy known as the "Afflicted,"these monstrosities adapt, charge, and even exhibit intelligence making every encounter a possible last.
