BGG:
Capcom didn't hit it out of the park with the release of the first episode of Resident Evil Revelations 2, but the game is a solid entry for the series that does a good job of setting up what is to come next for the survival horror title.
The first of four episodes for Resident Evil Revelations 2, titled Penal Colony has been released. Can survival horror make a return with this new entry?
Kotaku: It's been nearly 20 years since Capcom introduced us to the world of Resident Evil, but Revelations 2 is the first time the series has gone episodic. I'm not convinced it's better for it.
Pixel Gate takes a look at Capcom's latest Resident Evil effort -
''Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Episode 1 feels like the game Resident Evil 6 should, and wanted to be. The episodic approach to Revelations 2 isnt just another experimental move by Capcom, but a beneficial move for the sake of game. Filled with fan service, references and the positive elements of the original, Revelations 2 is a curious step in the right direction.''
