The special abilities of these characters came into play a little in previous episodes, but they still only served to make the combat character more effective. One of the glaring shortcomings of the game so far was that the combat character was far more fun to play in co-op mode than the secondary character. The puzzles also make this game a blast to play in co-op, far more than any previous episode.
Perhaps the next episode will finally bring them both together? So now RE:R2 has managed to give up one episode of survival and one episode of horror. Enemies usually only interrupt you at the worst of times, so you are always looking over your shoulder, waiting for someone to ambush you when you are pushing a box or flipping a switch. The slow moving progress through mind-bending segments makes you wonder when the other shoe is going to drop. Second, it gives the game a sense of horror, which no other episode really managed to do up until this point. First of all, it gives a much needed rest from the combat oriented Episode 2. That being said, the renewed focus on puzzles actually does quite a bit to change the way the game plays. If anything feels uninspired, it’s definitely the environments, and you feel that even more in Episode 3 because of how many puzzles there are. If you simply looked at screenshots of Episodes 1, 2, and 3, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
We are looking at the same controls, same enemies, same characters, same voice actors, and same incredibly boring grey-brown environments which have really started to grate on me at this point. Much of the framework here is the same as the past two episodes. Once again this makes the game a joy to control, but the fact that each episode is focusing on such incredibly different gameplay mechanics makes me feel as if the entire game when put together may start to feel inconsistent. While Episode 1 felt like something of a tutorial and Episode 2 felt like a more hardcore combat challenge, Episode 3 swings to the other side and focuses on puzzles. Resident Evil Revelations 2: Episode 3 Judgement continues the ongoing story of RE:R2, once again switching up the tone and feel of the game.
