gamrReview's Ben Burnham: "Though I’m a long-time Resident Evil fan, I don’t feel that the series necessarily has to revert to the old school style of gameplay in order for it to become fun again. But if not, it needs to replace that older style of gameplay with something far more compelling than what Capcom continues to offer.
It’s certainly not the worst we've seen from Resident Evil in recent years, and the length of the campaign isn’t bad at all given its low price (not to mention the usual Raid Mode multiplayer features and co-op play). Still, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is too bland and repetitive to be worth a recommendation to anyone beyond the series' most die-hard fans, and even to them I’d say that there are horror games out there much more worthy of their time."
With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
The Switch has been out for a few years now with a large library. Check out the games with the biggest file sizes as of January 2021.
