The Resident Evil series has been around for almost 30 years now and it seems like some of the best entry series had emerged during the 90’s and the 2000’s depending on who you ask. Despite, the Resident Evil games from the 2010’s not being quite popular as entries from previous decades Capcom did create few cool installments during that decade that do not get enough credit. Resident Evil: Revelations from 2012 is probably one of the most underrated installments within the entire RE series along with Code: Veronica from 2000. The fact that Resident Evil: Revelations started off on the Nintendo 3DS was crazy especially since it was “M” rated and looked like it belonged on the PlayStation Vita. However, Nintendo 3DS was a massive commercial success unlike the Vita console which was the opposite. Resident Evil: Revelations appeared on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2012 mainly because Resident Evil 6 appeared on the PS3 console that same year. There are many people who were under the impression that Resident Evil: Revelations was arguably a better game than RE6 despite its lack of commercial success. Even though, Resident Evil: Revelations was eventually ported to PS3, PS4, PC, Xbox 360, Wii-U and Xbox One did still did not sell nearly as much as RE6 which reached over eight million copies in sales.

Resident Evil: Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS looked impressive than many had initially expected from the map display all the way down to the voice over acting. Resident Evil: Revelation looked absolutely looked amazing on home consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One mainly because it had a story that players could easily get into. The story saw Jill Valentine returning as the main protagonist alongside with another popular character Chris Redfield trying to stop the plans of a bio-terrorist organization named Veltro. In Resident Evil; Revelations Jill and Chris try to do everything in their power to prevent Veltro from infecting every ocean in the world by using biological weapons. As terrifying as Veltro’s plan sounded the story became even darker when The Federal Bioterrorism Commission director Morgan Lansdale ended up using a orbital satellite to fry the city of Terragrigia to counteract their plans. The story for Resident Evil: Revelations took many unexpected twists and turns to a point where some believe that it was convoluted. While controlling Jill Valentine on the ghost ship was fun some were probably frustrated by the fact that she could only carry three firearms at once. The puzzle solving aspects of the game was fun and the boss battles were not too difficult maybe with the exception of Ultimate Abyss. After discovering Veltro’s plans regarding the T-Abyss the new strain of the T-Virus story focused mainly on the war between FBC and the bio-terrorist organization. Resident Evil: Revelations was arguably a way better game than Resident Evil 5 & 6 and quite possibly one of the last decent new entries in the series before RE7: Biohazard which was a game that critics have mixed feelings about it despite its level of success.
