Guessed by Mnementh

This game proved that you don't need the most cutting edge hardware to make something great, and even something that looks like it's the best thing of the generation. Considering only the handhelds anyway. I don't see anything from the 8th Generation's portable offerings that's better looking than 'Resident Evil: Revelations'. Even on 3DS's counterpart, the Vita. Granted I only played two games there, and two demoes of two others, but both 'Uncharted Golden Abyss' and 'Resident Evil: Revelations 2' certainly weren't as good looking. Revelations 2 is also a much worse game than its predecessor but that's another story.

I was not only completely blown away by graphical prowess though. This game was also great fun, with a B-Movie style story you'd expect from the Resident Evil series, but "B" in just the right way. The game came with a bit of a clunky peripheral that added a second control stick to the regular 3DS, which only had one natively. It also made great use of the system's much maligned 3D effect. I thought the effect was great in most things, and I'm actually kind of bummed that Switch doesn't have it. For Resident Evil: Revelations it added to the tension, which in turn adds to the fun of the gameplay. The corridors of the ship seem even more claustrophobic, a feeling one usually wouldn't like, but somehow for this game, it feels good.
