    RE6 is a very fun action game with horror elements. It has its weaknesses and is full of absurdities. But the cinematic nature and effective action make it impossible to get bored with this production.

    The most grandiose and cinematic RE game out of 4, 5, and 6, with much emphasis on setpieces and cutscenes. Unfortunately, the action often amounts to a chaotic, incoherent mess. And with the main characters constantly surviving death-defying scene after death-defying scene, the whole thing loses all semblance of believability, and consequentially, any semblance of horror.

Fortunately, the bonus Mercenaries mode is fun to play. Expand

    The game has several story campaigns that differ significantly in style. At some point they all intersect. Events take place in chronological order. Terrorist acts of bio-terrorists led to a series of events.
    The game has new characters with their own story, which will develop during the game. Sometimes it develops very slowly. The plot has both interesting moments and rather stupid ones.
    Not the worst part of the Resident Evil series, but it has many flaws.

    I'll be synthetic. The game is filled to the brim with entirely gratuitous scripted actions. I hate those. Many scenarios are likewise gratuitously slow. I hate that. Zombies' reactions to attacks reek of brawler games. Tekken wasn't as clumsy though.

    The gunplay isn't even bad, heck I find some of it enjoyable, specifically in Mercenaries Mode.

    Still this game lacks the soul of what made Resident Evil great and created what I believed was a more generic shooter. It had potential too, just not as a RE game in my eyes.

    Luckily Resident Evil 7 brought them back.

    Bigger, higher, more pretentious, more eccentric, more enchanting and dumber, more meat and gore. This game is an unsuccessful sexual crossing of horror and action genres, in which the creators wanted to pour out on the player absolutely all the ideas and mechanics that were voiced during the "brainstorming", and didn't decide, what to leave and what not to leave here.
    RE 6 is the only game that I didn't finish...and I played many games you know, and not all of them were good for me from the beginning. I played several days and there is my review on that piece of... game:
    The only thing I liked here - The most convenient control in the series at the time of release. Heroes FINALLY! do not crawl like snails. Finally, you are not feeling yourself as a "bag of jelly" just because the authors were only in that way able to realize such a concept as horror ...which, by the way, is no longer here in RE6. And a very effective and cute second boss-girl with tentacles))
    That's all. Now we begin the descent into the grave of this franchise:
    1) The plot has always been not the best element in RE games, but in the 6th part it is already the maximum squeeze out of the action and Hollywood special effects, many of which are banal in this game(as we can say, "meaningless and merciless"). Now 200 zombies are thrown on your head, on which you spend almost all your ammunition... and the game give you some next big guys at the end. What kind of horror are we talking about here? The horror of how much this game can further disgrace the atmosphere and the idea of the entire franchise, which got worse and worse with each part? Well then it was done perfectly.
    2) The game very brazenly insists on hand-to-hand combats (in particular, in thing that I hate in such games: spend half a pistol clip in the head of the most simple zombie), but at the same time, hand-to-hand attacks do not always work normally, and the enemy eats you. As it was if you didn’t hit the fu*ing button when the corresponding icon is on the screen... By the way, often this simplest zombie devoured one and a half pistol clips. ONE AND A HALF! It's just squalor to do so. Damn... And after all, why the hell should 1 punch be more powerful than a pistol clip? What kind of stupid logic and rigid requirement to swing limbs are these? We're playing a fighting game, or what?
    3) There are a lot of absolutely stupid and unnecessary pompous "movie scenes" that can be described by the banal "pathos only for the sake of pathos", like the tearful begging of zombies not to eat you, or endless "why do we need to go to church" and not even wait for an answer. And for what? We go even to the ends of the world and we will not ask questions. An ideal political electorate... Endless explosions, A lot of slow-motion scenes, parkour and other endless acrobatics. Sometimes I thought that zombies would start using karate against the character's hand-to-hand combat, like in "good old third-rate action movies". Seriously. Oh and dear writers, how does a spore zombie that infects people and makes them a zombie never turns the protagonist into a zombie? scenery immunity?
    4) I don't like QTE in games, but I understand that sometimes it can be applied... however, in this game there is just an endless abyss of this stupid QTE, because of which at some point of game-play you begin to feel yourself like an epileptic in anticipation of the next attack of hitting the buttons.
    5) Locations have turned into one... endless... sausage. That's all. Only from point A to point B.
    Such a concept as level research and finding hidden things here is completely killed by one big straight sausage-design. And even if you are somehow magically lost in this sausage, press the Q button, and the game will show you where to go.
    6) I will never get tired of writing about how I hate situations when you need to run away from someone or something and the damn camera jumps in front of you, showing what's behind you, and you can't see anything what in front of you + disgusting jumps and angles of the camera.
    7) Disgusting inventory. Completely inconvenient and completely unpleasant to look on it and usage of it. Although the herb mixing system and stamina bar I liked.
    8) Oh yes, and how could I forget about the "endless waves of enemies" in different places, loved by many players.
    9) And, finally, I will put into a separate paragraph what annoyed me a little in other parts, but already wildly infuriates me in this one. The last parts of the game are co-op games. Only in co-op with someone you can get full pleasure from playing, because the AI of your partner is fiercely stupid.
    Unlike AI of zombies, which can turn trap levers or drive a tank. What ...the f*ck... is... going on... here?!
    10) Billion logically mistakes as in some low rated cheap action movie. Unfortunately.

    RE6 is a difficult game to love, but just as hard to hate. For all the missteps that i felt Capcom took with the game, it still gave me a somewhat decent, engaging and fun experience.

    RE6 doesnt shy away from it's action oriented focus, making something like even Resident Evil 5 look like classic survival horror in comparison. Through out the game there are on rails sections which are infused with some of the most annoying QTE's that video gaming has to offer. But i'd be lying if i said that i didnt enjoy the setpiece moments themselves. The game strives to be an action shooter, but it doesnt throw away the classic features completely. While shooting enemies you still need to use slow precision, mindlessly blasting them wont be effective and will just waste your ammo, most of the time atleast. Shooting mechanics themselves fair pretty well, there's a decent weapon variety and they offer generally impacful feeling during combat, coupled with interesting enemy designs, it makes up for a competent shooter. The cover system however is quite confusing, it takes too much time to get accustomed to it to use it properly. But where RE6 combat falters are the lack of precise and polished movement mechanics. Movement in the game is quite sluggish and unintuitive. Male and female characters also share the same movement animations it seems, signaling laziness on Capcom's part. The talent system that the game has only allows you to select 1 custom talent set a time, each set limited to 3 talents, which felt too limiting, aswell as despite my attempts, i didnt seem to be able to switch between talent sets while in game, even though the game is supposed to allow that i believe.

    RE6 has 4 campaigns, each of them alone arent particularly lengthy, but put together they do offer a healthy length. The campaigns also feel varied enough in their approaches and level design, with each offering something different to the player. Though the best thing about these 4 campaigns is how they intertwine and supplement each other. Each campaign you'll play will you give a different perspective on events that you'll experience in other campaigns. The core narrative itself is decent enough and offers interesting twists and turns that Resident Evil has been known for.

    Graphically RE6 unsuprisingly shows it's age and console port roots, with some pretty low resolution textures piercing your eyes at times, though overall the game has a pretty solid art style that manages to compensate for it's technical shortcomings. Performance wise atleast the game did not gave me any headaches.

    I see quite a lot of negativity among Resident Evil fans that's aimed towards this game, while some of it i can understand, most of it feels unfounded, the game objectively is still pretty decent for what it is.

    Easily the weakest of the numbered RE games.

    I'm going to assume the developers were attempting to bring the game series more in line with the godawful Milla Jovovich movies, i.e. more dumb action, and way less horror. Michael Bay fans will be in daft-headed Heaven.

    I really don't understand the direction of this game and outside of a few small things, I really can't find much to like about it. It feels like just out of place and going from one story to another feels like a whole different game. I was hoping for a RE title to bring back the feel but I felt the opposite.
    If this was a completely new series that didn't have RE in it, like a experimental title I'd rate it higher but the fact that it's a RE title, I just can't let it slide. I do find a few things interesting about it but that's about it. Personally I'd drop this title instantly but if you really are a die hard RE fan or in general just prefer action over survival horror, this ones for you.
    It's also not even about the gameplay being bad, it's that the gameplay is just out of place for this title.

NHL set the mood for what could be the most terrifying RE title to date.

    Too bad that the game failed to deliver on the expectations that Capcom set themselves, and "No Hope Left" became an inside joke in the RE community, pertaining to what what fans felt for the future of the series.

    RE6 is an action game, and that's all there is to know about it. Ever played a TPS in the last decade? Chances are, you're already familiar with the game mechanics in RE6, albeit QTE-laden and includes an unreliable camera. Sure, there are zombies, mutated freaks, and hulking beasts, but I see no difference from the cannon fodder that runs into my view, while playing other action games. What used to be creatures that terrified me, are now minor obstacles that litter the path between point A and point B. This isn't the Resident Evil that I knew of, and it's bad at being one.

    But of course, franchises change to better suit the modern trends, and what's hot in the market right now is the explosive Hollywood experience - something which RE6 emulated well. While it did throw off the tension and atmosphere out the window, RE6 kept the B-movie antics which became a defining trait for the rest of the series. Combine that with an over-the-top plot, and you've got yourself one hell of an explosive ride. Just don't wrap your hear around the fact that this is an RE game. It's better that way.

    And there you have it.

    While not a great Resident Evil game it is a good TPS, albeit a flawed one.

    I will start with the positives, first and foremost it's just a lot of fun to play as the combat is truly fantastic, apart from the cover system which is quite terrible so I never used it. There's endless ways to kill the enemy, including the always fun to execute melee finishers. The monsters take visible damage as you shoot them which I loved, bits of their body will fly off as you focus them and it just adds something to the combat which I appreciated. The game doesn't have an Oscar winning story but it keeps you interested, if you've ever played a Resident Evil game you know what's going to happen, as it always happens. The voice work is done well, although hurt by the script which isn't great at best, it's very cheesy and almost cringe-worthy at times but that's a staple of Resident Evil games at this point. Also I'll say that I had no technical issues, the game ran at a solid 60fps throughout on max settings, I know performance was an issue in the past but it's certainly not now on appropriate hardware.

    As for negatives, the biggest for me was the length of the game, it truly overstayed its welcome, at 22 hours it feels very long and fatigue kicked in around the 15 hours mark. I would have enjoyed the game a lot more had they trimmed the fat and sliced off at least 5 hours, it would have been a more enjoyable game for it, I can think of a few sections that could be shortened or just removed entirely. By the end I was struggling to find motivation to finish it, and I dropped my overall rating from a 7 to a 6 as it just dragged on too much, the reduction in score was also due to the fact that Ada's campaign was poor almost throughout and as I played it last it left a sour taste in my mouth after I finished the game. Another gripe were the unskippable cutscenes, no one likes them, so please stop using them devs! Another dev favourite that we all hate are QTEs and the game is littered with them, so be prepared to die if you don't press A + X within a split second of it popping up on the screen.

    Overall I did enjoy it for the most part but it definitely wore me down by the end, would I recommend it? Yes, but only when on sale and only if you feel you can endure the boring chapters as to enjoy the good ones. I should also mention the game is heavily co-op focused, you can play solo with an AI companion but the game is far more fun with a friend, or even a random online player although those are rare these days.

    Perhaps it's still too experimental and difficult than the sixth entry in a series ought to be, but despite everything, RE6 offers top-tier cinematic action and series-high storytelling. For fans who've yet to try it, the PC version is the right choice.
