Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is an enjoyable spinoff in a series at a crossroads at the time. Although I prefer the first Revelations.

REV2 is the middle ground between 6, and 7, both figuratively and literally.
Revelations 2 was released at a time when the series was having a bit of an identity crisis. The Revelations series was more to cater to the old-school survival horror fans but also pulled some of the action-heavy elements from the 4-6 era of Resident evil.
For Revelations 2, they did focus a bit more on the action and less on the horror aspects that the prior title. There are some nice adjustments in Revlations 2 - the coop system works well, the story is much simpler to follow, and the focus on the smaller cast of characters is welcome. It's nice to see Claire and Barry back into the fold. Barry really gets his moment in the sun here.
However, some of the tweaks, like the more linear level design, led to more mixed results with Revelations 2. I'd still give the edge to the first Revelations title, but Revelations 2 is still worth your time if you enjoyed the prior title or the series in general.
This Revelations 2 review/analysis/critique/retrospective takes a look at the gameplay tweaks, the plot, the raid mode, and more.
