Limited ammunition, unsettling environments, exploration, and scavenging bring back old memories of great Resident Evil games from the past. Resident Evil: Revelations is a return to the classic survival horror gameplay that was established early on in the series. And if you can get past a few annoyances and quirks, this game is actually quite an enjoyable experience. To the contrary, it is probably the best Resident Evil title to be churned out in years.

Throughout my time in Resident Evil: Revelations, there was one three-word phrase that popped into my head repeatedly – “For a port.” I would think, “the graphics are pretty good on this game, for a port.” Or, “this plays really well, for a port.” This presented me with an ethical quandary – do I review this game solely on the merit of this version? Or do I take into account that it is ported from the handheld, and not hold it accountable for any flaws that may have come from the transition? Ultimately, I decided that this version of the game must stand on its own.
