Working together, they must find out who took them and to what sinister end. Moira Burton, is attending her welcome party for Terra Save when unknown armed forces storm the office.Ĭlaire and Moira are knocked unconscious and awaken later to find themselves in a dark and abandoned detention facility. Survivor of the Raccoon City incident depicted in previous Resident Evil games, Claire now works for the anti-bioterrorism organisation Terra Save.

It’s fun, and you can spend ages getting new skills and unlocking new bonuses, but in the end the only thing really rewarding in Raid mode is playing it. Like before, these are basically just shooting galleries where you hold out against waves of enemies. Luckily, you can always just go into Raid mode if you both want to have some shooting fun. You’ll frequently find yourself fighting with your friend about who gets to carry the gun. in these roles, but that doesn’t make them any more fun. While it’s nice to be able to bring a friend along for a ride, they are basically relegated to playing the secondary character. From promotional videos showing the “obviously not evil” pharmaceutical corporation helping out people in Africa and Spain, to Claire commenting about how she almost became a “Claire sandwich,” Resident Evil: Revelations 2 likes to take the piss out of itself, which lightens the mood and goes a long way toward bolstering suspension of disbelief.Ĭo-op play is a bit of a mixed bag. In addition, the story makes a lot of references to Resident Evil blunders of the past. The story is kept small and personal, and it benefits from that. You aren’t rescuing the president or trying to protect China from biological warfare. Specifically, the game doesn’t take itself too seriously. One of the small pleasures of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is its writing. The low difficulty of the game also plays into this, as enemies feel more like an inconvenience than a threat. You never get to a point where you encounter an enemy and go “oh crap,” as if you have finally met your match. You have your standard slow zombie, fast zombie, hulking zombie, and all the other zombie stereotypes that you’ve seen from zombie games past. Returning to the restrictions and anguish present in the first opus, it allows to follow the adventures of Claire Redfield and Moira Burton or Barry Burton and the mysterious Natalia.
