DC:
Similar to my recent first foray into the massive Final Fantasy franchise, Resident Evil Revelations 2 is one of the now three Resident Evil games I have played. Recently I got to experience the HD Remaster of the Gamecube version and really enjoyed it. Six years ago, I think even to the week actually, I co-oped through Resident Evil 5 in one sitting with a buddy of mine and had a good time. Co-op action returns in Revelations 2 via local split-screen play (online co-op play is only supported for the separate Raid Mode), although unfortunately I have had very little opportunity to play Revelations 2 in co-op just due to scheduling and all that other BS. Suffice it to say that what little local co-op I did play, I enjoyed more than playing single player and working with the AI, which goes for about every game out there -- co-op makes nearly every experience better, see any Army of Two game, any brawler, or Diablo III. That's not to say that Revelations 2 is not fun single player, but I think it very reasonable to say you're going to have a more fun and memorable experience playing with a friend. Furthermore, the AI will often give you reason to gnash teeth when you need them most, which is clearly frustrating.
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.
