The overlooked games of 2015: Resident Evil Revelations 2

As the yearly best-of lists start cropping up around the Web (including right here at GamesBeat), you probably won’t see Resident Evil: Revelations 2 win any big awards.

I can understand why. It doesn’t have a great hook to fall back on, no big new feature to get people excited about the Resident Evil series again. Revelations 2 doesn’t push any of the hardware it’s on or wow with its visuals the way others in the series have. It isn’t Resident Evil 7, but rather the continuation of a side series. The original Resident Evil: Revelations got mostly positive reviews but, as a 3DS title ported over to consoles and PC, didn’t have much momentum behind it. Resident Evil 6 was a critical flop. The biggest Resident Evil-related news of the year was the announcement of of a Resident Evil 2 remake.
