1) Revelations 2
Revelations 2 did well to follow up on the success of its predecessor. Set between 5 and 6, Revelations 2 does a great job of expanding and enriching the lore, all while giving favorites like Barry Burton and Claire Redfield some much deserved game time. The scenarios can be played alone, swapping between characters, or in local co-op where each player controls one of the four main characters depending on the campaign selected. Barry is a hulking beast, packing quite a punch and capable of taking one just as well. His daughter, Moira, only carries a flashlight which she can use to blind enemies, giving your partner a chance to make a well placed shot. Natalia offers helpful hints and Claire is agile and swift.
Enemy types were much more varied than in the previous game and the boss fights offered a great change of pace, with big cinematic battles that are sure to put you in your place. New features like a skill tree which focused on different styles of play further distinguishing each playthrough. The improved Raid mode pits you against a variety of monster waves but this time around enemies can appear with varied levels and buffs. Revelations 2 refined the excellent groundwork its predecessor laid years prior. Here’s hoping the series continues down this creaky hallway and back to its creepy roots.
