In that way, it’ll be interesting to see how players decide to deal with both obvious challenges, like those that stand up from the floor and shuffle over to bite you, and far-less-obvious missed opportunities, like squandering the fire trap. These puzzle elements seem less pronounced than they have in past Resident Evil games, but that left open the possibility that you may miss them altogether. Unfortunately, I Rambo’d my ammunition away after leading a large horde of the undead up some stairs. Should the player use the trap as Claire, Barry won't have access to it, like he did during my demo. The trap was a large flaming statue that could be turned to burn zombies silly enough to wander into a cell next to you. Both pairs of characters have a mission taking them through a prison, at least in the earlier episodes, though one of the traps could only be set off once between the two pairs. Having played an episode with Claire at a previous appointment, I took to Barry and Natalia’s story only to find myself in a familiar environment. In fact, for every single episode released, Capcom said there’d be eighteen different Mercenaries-style challenges with modifiers of their own. That means you’ll either want to dedicate a day to play with friends or purchase online with buddies you've connected with previously.Īltogether that left me and my admittedly non-fanatic brain to muster up the understanding that Mercenaries mode, the guns-blazing high-score effort normally unlocked after a completed campaign, could present the meat and potatoes of this Resident Evil.

The disc available at retail will only arrive once all four digital episodes have been released. Rather than deliver a disc and ask players to wait for the episodes to arrive, Revelations 2 will be available to buy in its feature-complete state digitally with downloadable episodic content. In fact, I needed a refresher despite having played Revelations 2 a few weeks ago and ultimately the title feels aimed square at the chest of gamers in general, fans of the franchise or otherwise. That said, Revelations 2 isn’t meant to be a dedicated and numbered Resident Evil like Resident Evil 6.

As the sequel to one of the more critically acclaimed Resident Evil games in years, Revelations 2 will have you trade between the likes of Claire and Barry. Natalia quickly points on items and spots monsters through walls for Barry. Natalia Korda may just be the young girl Barry Burton’s been saddled with for what’s to come in Resident Evil Revelations 2, but Capcom wastes no time in proving the value of co-operative gameplay or co-op game mechanics.
