Resident Evil Revelations 2
The gameplay is boring and monotonous; there is nothing fundamentally new or interesting. The regular monsters and bosses are not memorable at all (except for one, but more on that below). The plot is weak. As a long-time fan of the series, I was, of course, pleased to immerse myself again in the familiar setting and see Claire, Barry, and Moira, but even a slight feeling of nostalgia couldn't save this game from the not-so-good work of the scriptwriters.
But there is a plus, since the setting is a city on an island in a fictional Russian-speaking country with a thematic nod to the Soviet Union, I couldn't help but laugh at some moments.
For example, when I was walking through the factory, a sound recording started playing in a room, in which, in clear Russian, the following was said:
"The working day is over for today, rest, but don't relax, tomorrow awaits hard work."
Moira then said, "What the hell is he saying?", which only added to the comedic effect.
And further, I don't even need to play this game to see something like this in reality:
Authentic in their squalor locations:
Inspiring posters:
The face of a healthy person who ended up in the CIS space:
A worker who has had a few too many drinks from the aforementioned factory:
Just funny:
These moments don't blend very well with the horror and are generally so-so, but, strangely enough, they made playing this game not so tedious.
Separately, I will highlight the enemies called Glasp
I must admit, they bothered me a lot and seemed to me to be the scariest monsters in the series of all.
The reason for this is as follows:
— They are invisible;
— They insta-kill;
— They dash away when you hit them;
— They blur the screen;
— They make a very unpleasant and sharp sound;
— They have long and thin legs, and this is one of the most unpleasant things for me when it comes to design;
— The death animation is very nasty (they break the hero's spine and spam cockroaches on him)
Once, I almost dropped the game because I didn't want to go through them. And here I ask myself: were they well made or not? On the one hand, they performed the role of mutants in horror brilliantly, and on the other hand, I wanted there to be fewer of them... Seriously, there were too many of them.
5/10
My expectations were met – it's approximately the level I expected.
