Revelations 2 Episode 2 makes the story and characters a little bit more engaging, and that's probably the biggest success of this chapter. It also brings new types of enemies and one "final boss" but, gameplay-wise, this second entry remains the very same as the first.

Contemplation, the second episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2, is more focused on action than exploration but, in any case, still offers something interesting to look at and some really scary sequences. If you liked the previous one, go for it.

Resident Evil: Revelations 2 strengthens itself with a solid second episode packed with compelling gameplay and some decent story developments.

Contemplation certainly doesn’t let up in terms of action and horror. The increased variety in enemy types and game mechanics is certainly welcome, and with the story picking now too, it will be exciting to see how the mystery unfolds.

Fans of the series will appreciate the plot twists, whilst newcomers can get stuck into a well-grounded Resident Evil game that is so far living up to its heritage.

Injecting some much-needed adrenaline into Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Episode 2 ups the ante with intense boss battles, creepy new creatures and some interesting plot developments.

If you bought the first episode, nab the second.

An improvement upon an improvement, Revelations 2 keeps reinvigorating the Resident Evil franchise, though stale environments, generic enemies and disappointing visuals leave it firmly rooted in the "good, but not quite great" category.

This second chapter has the same success and failures as the first one. Some remarkable moments, balancing action and suspense, trying to get back the essence of the genre. It may not be perfect, but it's what it looks like: entertaining without complications.

Keeps the rhythm of the first episode, without adding or changing anything on its way. The history is interesting, and the gameplay remains as fun as it was. Could be better, but also it could be much worse.
