1. Performance & The 1.02 Patch
The most important aspect of this review is what the update actually fixed. Verify your base game: Ensure you have the
- Input Lag: The Day 1 version of the game suffered from noticeable input lag, making aiming feel "floaty" and unresponsive. Update 1.02 significantly reduced this lag. The game now feels tight and responsive, which is crucial for a survival horror title where ammo conservation and headshots are key.
- Frame Rate: The game targets 30 frames per second (FPS). Pre-patch, there were distracting stutters during transitions or heavy action scenes. Post-patch, the frame rate is mostly stable. It still dips occasionally in graphically intense scenes (like explosions or heavy fog effects), but it is no longer a distraction to the gameplay.
- Load Times: The patch optimized loading screens. They are not instant, but they are significantly faster than the unpatched version, keeping the pacing of the story moving.
Should You Bother Installing Update 1.0.2?
Yes, absolutely.
The base version of Revelations 2 on Switch has a few annoying bugs:
- Audio sync issues in cutscenes.
- Frame rate drops in the "Claire: Episode 3" forest section.
- Rare soft-locks during partner switching.
Update 1.0.2 doesn’t magically turn the game into 60 FPS (it’s locked at 30 FPS on Switch), but it makes the experience noticeably more stable. If you plan to play Raid Mode for more than an hour, this update is essential to prevent a memory leak crash.
