There’s still hope for Revelations 2 to turn itself around. The first episode ends with a legitimately interesting cliffhanger while also promising more characters to be added to the mix (whether any of them are playable remains to be seen). The gameplay is functional, carrying over much of the mechanics introduced in RE4 while adding enough restrictions that players don’t feel invincible, and the extra Raid Mode does away with the traditional time-trial focused Mercenaries and introduces a more interesting mission-based mode that features RPG-like skills and weapons unlocked through exp and currency. Online co-op is also a planned feature, but won’t be available until the final episode hits. It remains to be seen if Capcom will be able to stick the landing with this latest spinoff after a rather shaky takeoff.
