The game even has short cutscenes before each chapter showing highlights of the previous chapter, meaning players won't ever be struggling to remember where they stand in the overall narrative. Admittedly, these are good qualities modern touches like dual-stick movement and aiming make Revelations about as easy to control as any modern shooter, and the episodic nature of the game is particularly well-suited to the Switch's portability. However, Revelation's origins as a 3DS title do remain fairly obvious: it follows the same sort of over-the-shoulder third-person action that the series popularized back with the release of Resident Evil 4, and the game is broken up into bite-sized chunks that make it easier to digest on-the-go. Through a number of other ports to systems like the Wii U and PlayStation 4, Revelations has picked up its fair share of high-resolution textures and an overall increased resolution, and the bulk of those updates remain true in the new Nintendo Switch version. It's a pretty old title, but with that said, it has held up surprisingly well.

Though that might not seem like a very long time ago, it's worth remembering that Nintendo didn't launch the Wii U until November 2012 - or, in other words, Revelations is a game that rose to prominence when the original Wii was still the primary Nintendo console. The original Resident Evil Revelations hit the Nintendo 3DS scene way back in January of 2012.
