Resident Evil: Revelations 2

The game uses the typical over-the-shoulder person view. The player controls Claire while Moira is controlled by the AI and follows automatically. There is a focus on exploration through linear environments and she has the ability to shimmy along ledges, jump, duck, run, climb ladders and push or lift objects to create a path. Moira holds a flashlight and helps light the environment for Claire.

The gameplay involves switching between Claire and Moira to control her and light specific parts of the environment. Many items are optional, such as herbs (health), a tourniquet (stops bleeding) or rubies (the BP currency), stored in an inventory. Recovery items can be passed on to have the supporting character heal automatically.

Claire starts with a melee knife attack, but soon picks up a gun with a small amount of bullets. Additional weapons can be picked up and are assigned to a weapon slot configuration. When enemies get too close they grab Claire and need to be shaken off. She can also use a move to evade.

The game is split in two large parts. After the first part ratings are provided based on accuracy, the clear time and the amount of retries. The performance is rewarded with unlocks and medals. It also shows a total amount of points, found collectibles and the amount of BP currency. BP can be spent on a skill tree to unlock many different types of perks affecting damage output, healing time, movement etc.

The second part of the episode starts with the arrival of Barry Burton on the island by boat after he receives a distress call from his daughter Moira. The gameplay from the first part is then largely carried over for Barry with Natasha as the supporting character instead of Moira. Natasha has different abilities however.

The Raid mode supports multiplayer as well. Certain items and weapons that are discovered need to be evaluated in exchange for a currency before they can used. They can also be sold. The game is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, and iOS devices.
