The game's setting is described as "one large, expanding environment" that gives fans of exploration plenty of incentive to wander around: "Revisiting old locations with discovered keys will unlock new areas".
GM goes on to point out that Revelations "deeply respects its heritage. IF Resi fans felt alienated by 5, then this is the game to convince them that the series is back to its best."
The review concludes by boldly stating Resident Evil: Revelations is "a better sequel to Resi 4 than 5 ever managed to be, and it's a clear sign that Nintendo and Capcom are committed to keeping the core series alive and kicking."
My impressions based on trailers and the setting is that it's more horror-oriented and slower in pacing than RE4 (meaning more like the classic games).

Was reading it in gamesmaster today. Their review was a pretty lengthy 6 page tangent about how it recaptures the horror and atmosphere stables of the series and how its much more a proper horror game than an action game with sprinklings of horror. 91 is pretty high for them, for a scale they only gave 18 games higher than that (across all formats) in 2011. It's on par with the likes of Uncharted 3, Littlebigplanet 2 and Xenoblade. It's the highest score they've given a 3DS game bar Ocarina of time, even higher than Mario 3D.
