Moira finally decides to move on and arrives in time to save her father and Natalia from Alex.

Raid Mode
Like most Resident Evil games, Revelations has a extra mini game, Raid Mode, where your protagonist is captured by the Red Queen computer and put through a number of simulations, racking up money for better equipment and training your characters to be better, more skilled. Said mode, by the way, is stupidly fun with a wide variety of locations from the streets of Bosnia to a castle the SAS use for training, from back to Raccoon to the White House, to a plane, to Wuhan, to a cemetery, a hospital, a school, Simmons' naval yard, etc. A whirlwind tour of locales from Revelations, 6, Damnation and beyond. Most everyone you could want is available to play, Claire, Barry and Moira of course but Jill, Chris, Leon, Rachel and other fan favorites make an appearance too.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Very nice and beautiful graphics, especially by 2015 standards, the details are incredibly detailed and excellent which fits the environment very well, the color palette is extremely vivid and the animations are so fluid that will never stiffen, compared to other games in Resident Evil, thanks to the MT Framework engine and they are very similar to Resident Evil: Revelations and mh:crappygames:Resident Evil 6, they're so beautiful that they're on par with Devil May Cry 5 or even Resident Evil: Village, they still even look like they deserve to look like for today and for ages. You would even want to look at them for so long by just playing the game for a long hours, or even watching videos and stopping them on YouTube just to look at them, to the point that this game is often considered one of the best-looking games for consoles, especially on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 versions (except in the PSVITA version).
 * 2) The story it's a pretty good improvement on the previous game, which makes the story very interesting and surprisingly good, since instead of trying to escape an abandoned island, the attention is focused on the salvation of Moira Burton because Barry Burton is the daughter.
 * 3) * Also, in episode 3 in Claire's campaign, Moira Burton tries to overcome her gun traumas by what caused her childhood.
 * 4) * Surprisingly, the story was inspired by the books of Franz Kafka, the makers of Capcom, they gave it depth and it feels 100% faithful to the books.
 * 5) Alex Wesker, a female villain who debuted in Resident Evil 5, is an extremely original and very beautiful villain, the most interesting thing about Alex Wesker, is her story, since because his brother (Albert Wesker) died and what happened with this, in Chapter 4 of Claire Redfield's campaign. Alex can be shown talking and reading with a Franz Kafka book and then she kills herself with a gun, which is a very sad story for her, and will make you want to love Alex Wesker.
 * 6) Creepy, disturbing, bizarre, and scary environments that are very reminiscent of Manhunt 2 and Silent Hill 3 or the Hostel movies, and also makes a Resident Evil game that has a great dark tone.
 * 7) Great gameplay. You control Claire Redfield, Moira Burton, Barry Burton or Natalia Korda in surviving, with the aim of defeating all enemies or killing a specific boss, the skills of Resident Evil 6 have also been improved, some characters can help you like Moira, all of these systems make the game simple, yet addictive and intense, which would make you want to invite your friends to your house to see how you play this game.
 * 8) The controls are extremely responsive: if Claire Redfield fires, it will take 1 second to respond, or also if you use Moira Burton, it will also respond in almost 1 second, which is very tight, fluid, smooth, comfortable and easy to master for a Survival Horror game, even something so simple that your aim is less awkward.
 * 9) A creepy assort of enemies:
 * 10) * Afflicted: These creatures are the result of human prisoners who were infected with the T-Phobos virus and then tortured and mutilated to induce fear.
 * 11) * Ironhead: A monster that is very strong and resistant to attacks by Claire and others, and is also created by increased exposure to the treatment that caused its mutation, and even its design is similar to Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2.
 * 12) * Giant Whip Spider: These giant spiders are the result of Alex Wesker's experiments with ordinary whip spiders, and even seeing these spiders will make you very afraid or if you have arachnophobia (fear of spiders).
 * 13) * Rotten: These creatures are the reanimated corpses of Afflicted, and like the T-virus, the T-Phobos virus has the ability to reanimate dead cells, resulting in the zombie-like appearance of these monsters.
 * 14) * Revenant: Creatures that look like severely mutated humans, often appearing with multiple crudely stitched body parts. Some Revenent also have crude weaponry embedded in their limbs, such as knives and serrated blades.
 * 15) * Orthrus: Due to grotesque experiments with the T-Phobus virus, they are mutated wild dogs and they attack by throwing themselves at you and will quickly evade your shots using their incredible speed.
 * 16) * Glasp: A bloatfly creature that can "bend" light around its body, allowing it to appear invisible under normal conditions. These monsters were created from experiments with the T-Phobus virus, their presence is somehow detected through a "noise" they emit, which causes both their sight and hearing to become very distorted as they get closer. Their one hit kill attack results in one of the most graphic death scenes in the series.
 * 17) * Sploder: This mutation causes pustules to sprout inside your torso, causing the entire upper half of your body to turn into a sac of bile. The creature will rise again and chase you.
 * 18) * Vulcanblubber: A slow-moving monster, however, it wields a large drum of chemicals that is used to make an explosive "cannon," allowing it to shoot deadly fireballs at great distances.
 * 19) * Splasher: These creatures have an elongated arm that is capable of producing and spraying an acidic liquid. If your character is hit by this compound, his vision will be compromised for a short period of time.
 * 20) * Slinger: This monster gets its name from the giant parasitic projectile that it launches at you with its massive arm. This creature regenerates its parasite after each one it casts, resulting in what appears to be an infinite supply of ammunition.
 * 21) * Dhurlga: This monster absorbs nearby bodily remains into itself and fuses them to create a new, larger creature.
 * 22) The voice acting is impressive and top-notch, like Yûko Kaida/Danielle Nicolette as Claire Redfield, and as Rica Fukami/Mary Elizabeth McGlynn as Alex Wesker what they put a lot of effort into expressing their characters and it feels like they want to do it at all.
 * 23) The Raid modes return in this game but, unlike its predecessor, it comes with more content such as Resident Evil 6, and of course, Resident Evil: Revelations.
 * 24) Hauntingly-beautiful and unforgettable orchestral soundtrack composed of Kota Suzuki, Nima Fakhrara and Ichiro Komoto, such as the main menu, Camp (in Raid mode) , and Distant Memories . They are so beautiful that it will make you try to bring it to your head, or play the chapters longer to listen to the music, or go to YouTube and download the music you like on your computer, phone or tablet.
 * 25) Claire Redfield and Barry Burton are back in this game, and this time they bring a more updated design like Claire Redfield, she has a beautiful and stunning design, for example, she wears a jacket and a white shirt with long sleeves, and even Barry Burton, his design is good and kind of handsome, for example, bring a gun vest.
 * 26) * Speaking of Barry, his redesign could possibly be traced to Richard Marcinko, the Rogue Warrior, Navy SEAL legend, or even Big Boss, while still keeping the original appearance. Moreover every single cringeworthy line he says from the very first game is repurposed either by him or others.
 * 27) * Claire Redfield's design in the cowgirl outfit (which is a DLC) is extremely beautiful and truly attractive to many players. It is even perfect for players who liked this suit and is favorably loved.
 * 28) Great replay value. You can complete all four chapters of each difficulty with each rank and you can get massive amount of weapons by unlocking in all chapters with various ranks.
 * 29) * Speaking of replayability, the Raid mode is a perfect addiction, since you can level up after killing a handful of zombies and monsters, if you have a Resident Evil.net account you can get some extra costumes like Gina with blood suit as it was attacked in the first chapter of Claire's campaign, in the chests you can get weapons but an image of a large disk reminding of very old reproducers where you could put a large disk and put it, you can play every day in each challenge, giving players more replay value.
 * 30) The partner AI is really good which is given since this is Capcom's answer to The Last of Us. They can dodge enemy attacks, attack enemies, stay out of the way of gunfire, and when the monsters attack Claire Redfield, Moira defends her so that Claire is not so damaged.
 * 31) The cinematics of the game are absolutely gorgeous and memorable, for example, when Claire Redfield climbs the radio tower and Moira Burton contacts Barry and Claire Redfield sees where she is with a beautiful view with a sunny sunrise. Another example is, in Chapter 4 of Claire Redfield's campaign, when Claire Redfield could not save Moira Burton because the tower was about to collapse, months later, Claire Redfield wakes up in the hospital and the doctors take him away and talk with Barry Burton and asked what happened to Moira Burton and he was still on the island, and Barry was a little sad, they are so incredible that they look like a animated movie and that make you want to see again and again.
 * 32) The Nintendo Switch version is surprisingly good and impressive, just like Resident Evil: Revelations on Switch:
 * 33) * Unlike other Nintendo Switch ports that have low textures and downgraded graphics like Mortal Kombat 11 ,trough to be fair that port is also surprisingly good too. The graphics in this version are of high-quality, clean, and improved, especially if you play it in dock mode and see the graphics in this version you will not hate it in seeing them, which shows that Capcom has made a pretty good version and and wow did he do it, which makes it look more beautiful and well-polished. It is worth mentioning that the game is played in high resolution and in 1080p.
 * 34) * Like the Wii version of Resident Evil 4 or the Revelations version of Switch, you can remove the Joy-Cons to play it, and also the HD vibration is excellent, since in the right Joy-Con you can shoot or you can use the knife in case an enemy comes and it gives you a much more enjoyable and impressive experience.
 * 35) * If you go to Raid Mode, in this version there is a minigame called Ghouls 'n Homunculi (which is an adaptation from one of Capcom's most difficult arcade games, Ghosts 'n Goblins) that is very fun since the graphics are the same as from the Arcade of the 80s and does not make it primitive or archaic, the soundtrack, although repetitive, is very good, since it sounds like an 8-bit remix of Lost, and makes it the only version to have a minigame which unfortunately only has one level.
 * 36) * Like its predecessor on Switch, They are one of the few Resident Evil games that this time you can put your Amiibo in the options, if you put your Amiibo (any Amiibo) you can get more recharge for the weapons or also just like mh:crappygames:Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, you can use your amiibo to have coins and the next day you can get more coins using your Amiibo, which is really useful.
 * 37) * Like Resident Evil 6, and Revelations in the Switch version, in this game it is NOT necessary to buy DLCs, if not EVERYTHING in the game will be all the DLCs without having to buy, this is very awesome not to spend so much, and what is even better, the game in this version is at US$19.99, which is highly worth buying.
 * 38) * Unlike the PSVITA version, while the frame rate is a bit inconsistent and. Unlike Frima Studio, the responsable in charge of the version of PSVITA, it runs almost fluid and very stable and as it runs at 30fps. Which is a good indication that Capcom cared a bit about the process to see if it was visually stable. It's worth mentioning that Capcom made this version, which a third-party company did not and is worth praising.
 * 39) There is now an actual inventory system along with ammo boxes in the game, unlike in Resident Evil Revelations. The player can also drop items which is another improvement from Resident Evil 6's inventory system.
 * 40) There are two different endings:
 * 41) * Bad Ending: If you use Claire Redfield, she will kill mutated Neil Fisher, which Moira Burton follows her fear with weapons, and also, when mutated Alex Wesker kills Natalia Korda, strangely. Alex Wesker manages to enter Natalia Korda's body and kills mutated Alex Wesker and Barry starts to worry.
 * 42) * Good Ending: If you use Moira Burton, overcome your fear of weapons and kill Neil Fisher with the help of Claire Redfield. Also, Moira shoots Alex Wesker mutated so that Natalia Korda does not die, and Barry Burton sees his daughter, Claire Redfield, appears in the helicopter shooting Alex Wesker mutated, and You can also use Claire and Barry to kill Alex Wesker and also Claire, Moira, Barry and Natalia leave the island.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) A Major Plot hole: In Chapter 4 in Claire's campaign, Alex Wesker commits suicide and then the tower collapses, but in Chapter 2 in Barry's campaign, Alex Wesker managed to mutate in Chapter 4 in Claire's campaign. It's never explained how this is.
 * 2) Sometimes, Moira Burton can be very annoying for some people and players, since in some chapters she can complain about everything, for example, in Chapter 1 of Claire Redfield's campaign, Moira says she wants to go home, however, she says it a lot at times, due to her rebel adolescent demeanor, though it never gets to the point where she can be unlikable.
 * 3) While the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions are incredible and are not bad, the PlayStation Vita version is an awful version and is a contender for the worst version for PlayStation Vita:
 * 4) * The graphics in this version are really ugly, pretty hideous, and primitive, especially for PSVITA standards that would make you want to vomit if you would look at them for several minutes, the color palette is absolutely horrendous and really unpleasant to look at, the character models look like peeled potatoes boiled in a dog bowl and look unrefined. Which shows that they did a unbelievable lazy work with absolutely terrible results. Meanwhile, in comparison with Resident Evil: Revelations for 3DS looked much better with spectacular graphics, what they did was port it to the failed console, which looks visually ugly and unappealing that the idea of ​​making a port of PSVITA is so sick that they seem a more horrendous version of Ark: Survival Evolved from Nintendo Switch.
 * 5) ** To put salt on the wound, When you start to play (depending on which chapter you are) you will notice there is no darkness or shadows in this game.
 * 6) ** Depending on your point of view, if you look at the sky, you will notice that it will go unimaginably slow as if it were at 1 FPS.
 * 7) * Unimaginably long loading screens, as expected, like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 3 version, they already did it with too much time, and it is boring as hell, after waiting, you could take some time having a drink or watching what's to get before the game starts, similar to mh:crappygames:HyperScan.
 * 8) * The sound effects are awful and hard to hear, it sounds like your audios were broken and also the soundtrack sounds very distorted and does not fit well at all. It is worth mentioning that "in particular"
 * 9) * seems to sound like a cell from phone call but with a very broken audio, and you may refuse to listen to the soundtrack in this version for more than 1 minute and better listen to the original soundtrack without distortion.
 * 10) * The textures of this version are absolutely terrible, wet, and rough that seem to be taken from a Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn or PlayStation game due to the limitations of the PSVITA, they are so hideous that it looks like it was going to be made at least for the PlayStation 2 or even the Sega Saturn, rather than PSVITA.
 * 11) * The frame rate is incredibly unstable and choppy, it barely runs at 30FPS, mostly running in less than 25FPS, at worst 15FPS. This makes this port more extremely obnoxious, and at worst, unplayable, similar to mh:crappygames:Balan Wonderworld in the Nintendo Switch version.
 * 12) ** To make matters worse, in Chapter 4 of the Barry Burton campaign, when you are in Alex Wesker's boss, you will easily notice that he will go more unstable, and it makes him almost unplayable and impossible to beat the boss due to how terribly unoptimized he is in this port.
 * 13) Some chapters and campaigns are very frustrating. For example, in Chapter 1 of Claire's campaign, when you have gone down to pick up the key to open another door, but in the door below there is a zombie, although it is not bad, when you've killed the zombie, more zombies will appear and if you try to climb the ladder, any zombie will go up quickly, which is pretty tedious, annoying, and frustrating.
 * 14) Raid Mode recycles many locations from Resident Evil: Revelations and Resident Evil 6,.
 * 15) * Each mission is not identified: if you wanted to play the embassy level or Chinese market for example you'll need to have what number they are committed to memory.
 * 16) Similarly to Deltarune, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, in chapter 1 it is free, although it is not bad, the rest of the other chapters are bought digitally, it would have been a good idea if they had put a demo or a full version. Players will have a difficult decision whether to buy the US$24.99 Deluxe Edition or buy more chapters to continue or easily buy the physical version.
