Resident Evil: Revelations - A Return to Survival Horror?

The survival horror genre has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years, but one franchise that continues to captivate audiences is undoubtedly Resident Evil. From its humble beginnings as a niche cult classic on older consoles, the series has grown into an iconic behemoth that refuses to fade away.

One game responsible for this remarkable resurgence can be traced back to 2012 - when Capcom released Resident Evil: Revelations, a spin-off title that aimed to recapture some of the tension and suspense that made its predecessors so memorable. But what makes Revelations stand out from other entries in the series?

Set between the events of Resident Eil4 and RE5, this handheld exclusive takes players back on an intense journey through multiple locations across South America. With a focus on exploration, puzzle-solving, and plenty of action-packed set pieces, Revelationsoffers fans a much-needed respite from the over-the-shoulder third-person shooting that has become synonymous with modern survival horror games.

But before we dive deeper into what makes Revelations so special, let's take a quick look at how Resident Evil got here in the first place. The series began life back on older consoles such asthe original PlayStation 1 and Dreamcast systems where it was known simplyas 'Biohazard'. These early titles were much more akin to traditional survival horror games with players taking control of protagonists like Leon S. Kennedy or Chris Redfield as they navigated through creepy abandoned locations avoiding hordes of undead zombies while collecting ammo, health items etc...

In recent years however things have taken a drastic turn for the worse; Resident Evil 4 marked something of an turning point in terms gameplay-wise - it ditched its classic tank controls and instead opted for more action orientated shooting mechanics which alienated many loyal fans who felt that this new direction was nothing short than heresy against everything they held dear about survival horror games.

Fast forward to present day however, and Resident Evil has since returned full circle with the release of Resident Evil Village - a title that seems determinedto revive some semblance of those good old days while still catering towards newer players who may not be familiarwiththe series' rich history.

So what does this mean for fans like us? Well, if you're lookingfora game that will transport you back to the glory days of survival horror without all the excessive gore and over-the-top action then look no further than Resident Evil: Revelations. With its tense atmosphere, engaging gameplay mechanics, and a healthy doseof classic survival horror elements thrown into the mix; this handheld gem is sureto satisfy even the most discerning tastes.
