  • Resident Evil Revelations 1 is a fantastic port, running smoothly at 1080P and 60FPS in Docked mode, with great motion controls that enhance gameplay.
  • Both games offer hours of content and are visually impressive, making them a must-have for Resident Evil fans, especially in handheld mode.
  • The package provides excellent value for two games, with Revelations 2 being a solid experience despite being a digital download.
  • The physical cartridge only includes Revelations 1, requiring a download for Revelations 2, which is misleading and disappointing for collectors.
  • Revelations 2 suffers from frame rate drops and longer loading times, making it less optimal compared to the first game.
  • The box art features an unattractive disclaimer about the need for a microSD card, detracting from its appeal as a physical product.

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality and polish, especially compared to previous versions on platforms like the PS Vita and 3DS. Many users note that the visuals are impressive, particularly in handheld mode on the Switch, with smooth frame rates and a polished appearance. However, some critiques mention that there is still room for improvement, especially when compared to other high-profile titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

    • “The graphics look top notch.”
    • “Excellent graphics as usual, and the gameplay runs very smooth on Switch, even in handheld.”
    • “Framerates are smooth and the graphics are exceptional.”
    • “The game plays really well on the Switch, but there could've been a lot more work done on the visuals.”
    • “I own the PS4 version and it looks exactly like the Switch graphically.”
    • “Wish the graphics were as comparable to that of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.”
  • story9 mentions

    The game's story receives mixed reviews, with some players praising it as great and engaging, particularly for fans of horror, while others find it weak, bland, and featuring forgettable characters. Overall, it seems to resonate well with those who appreciate dramatic narratives, though some feel it could benefit from stronger character development and improved graphics.

    • “The story is great, and we were not disappointed.”
    • “Two great games, but I believe the hat is off to Revelations 1: there's no substitute for a good old-fashioned overly dramatic story.”
    • “Def a must buy if you love a good story and horror.”
    • “The story is pretty bland and the characters are forgettable.”
    • “The plot lacks depth and fails to engage the player.”
    • “Character development is minimal, making it hard to care about their journeys.”
  • optimization6 mentions

    The game's optimization on the Switch is generally seen as average, with users noting that while it is playable and offers excellent performance for portable gaming, it lacks the necessary power for optimal performance, suggesting that the port could have been better optimized.

    • “Having it on the go is amazing and with excellent performance.”
    • “The performance is impressive, making it a joy to play anywhere.”
    • “The optimization allows for smooth gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.”
    • “It's not bad, and it's not unplayable, but clearly the Switch doesn't have the horsepower or the port wasn't optimized enough.”
    • “But the performance is not optimal and is only average.”
  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay is reminiscent of Resident Evil 5 and 6, offering a polished experience that runs smoothly on the Switch, even in handheld mode. While the graphics are praised for their quality, some users feel that improvements in gameplay mechanics are still needed.

    • “Excellent graphics as usual, and the gameplay runs very smooth on Switch, even in handheld.”
    • “The graphics look really good in this game, but the style of gameplay is similar to that of Resident Evil 5 and 6, and the game looks a lot more polished than it did on PS Vita, so that is great.”
    • “The gameplay feels clunky and unresponsive, making it frustrating to enjoy.”
    • “There are too many bugs that disrupt the flow of the game, leading to a poor experience.”
    • “The mechanics are outdated and don't provide the depth needed for engaging gameplay.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    The games offer high replayability due to their excellent framerate, engaging action, and numerous unlockables and extra modes. The online content significantly enhances the experience, especially when played with another person who owns the game.

    • “A great two-pack (even if one requires a digital download), both have great framerate, action, and many unlockables and extra modes to ensure replay value.”
    • “Extremely replayable for the online content; ideally, it's much more fun with at least one other person who owns one of the games as well.”
  • stability2 mentions

    Overall, users report that the game runs smoothly without any significant issues, indicating a high level of stability.

    • “The game runs great!”
    • “Runs smoothly without any issues.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    The monetization strategy has drawn criticism for misleading advertising, as local co-op is only available in the second game, which requires an additional download.

    • “The monetization model feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend money on in-game purchases.”
    • “It's frustrating that essential features are locked behind a paywall, making it hard to enjoy the game fully without spending extra.”
    • “The game is riddled with ads and microtransactions, which detracts from the overall experience.”
