While Claire’s chapter is incredibly action-focused, Barry’s is a little more stealth-based. It also introduces proper boss battles, and while not on the scale of an El Gigante, it forces you to change up your tactics a little, and a few of them left me rather panicked. It’s to be expected, of course, but I found myself having to share the gear out a lot more than previously, so the handy co-op item management system works well. At this stage, it’s tricky to know for certain, though the Kafka quotes certainly suggest strong themes.Įpisode two seems to throw a lot more at you – more enemies, but also more weaponry.

Episode two picks up the gameplay and runs with it, at the expense of story exposition. When we left our fearsome foursome back in episode one, Capcom had dropped a story bomb on us and cut to black: Next Time on Revelations.
