    Gameplay is really fun, but very frustrating at times. You will die A LOT. The camera angles are simply awful at times, and aiming is super cumbersome, even though you're using a mouse. If an enemy is close to you, you're better off unloading a whole magazine then trying to aim for the head, because 9/10 times you will just completely miss even though the crosshair is right on the head.Gameplay is really fun, but very frustrating at times.

Graphics are pretty mediocre, as can be expected from DX9 technology, but the game runs rather poorly on my AMD 1090t and 4gb 2000mhz ram and a 6970 2gb GPU. It bogs down and stutters randomly. Oh and there's plenty of screen tearing too if you disable vsync, which with it enabled, induces input lag. Not a bad game. I just hope they start patching the bugs soon.… Expand

    Other than that, I recommend it for the fun coop side of it all, which might have undermined "the horror", had there been any left to start with.

    Resident Evil 6 is exactly what I assumed where the series was going and I'm happy the creators finally decided whether they wanted an action game or a horror game.

I knew they'd pick an action game and I laughed quite a lot at the all over the top sequences scattered throughout. Anyone, which is most, wanted the series to go back to the survival horror aspect, they didn't to most people's grief.
    While it's not what I wanted either, I do love how fluid the combat system is and I do actually love to play the game. If the game didn't have Resident Evil on it I'd probably love it a lot more along with a lot more. Though it takes a huge downturn to see this great series slowly became more "mainstream" so it's less of a horror game and just fully on action, as I keep stating.
    Though I am fine with the game as is. I don't see it as a horror game continuation from my childhood, it's just what this series has turned into and I enjoy it for what it is. I loved the co-op in quite a lot of the game except the extremely shoe-horned in Ada and the Agent co-op. I enjoyed Ada's campaign the way it was and I saw no change needed.
    Resident Evil 6 is a decent game with fluent game play and for that I enjoy it. For the series ever going back to the original survival horror scattered with puzzle I don't have hope for the future of Resident Evil.    … Expand

    but as most of what people have probably said, this isn't a good successor to the resident evil franchise, I LOVED the first 3 and code veronica, this is kinda action oriented, BUT a lot better than RE5

    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.

    If you are a fan of Resident Evil I would definitely say give this a try, it's a good game, it's just nothing at all like the originals. In my opinion the games lost their "evilness" after RE 4, But still a great game, the controls are solid and the story is acceptable.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm biased. Resident Evil on PS1 is 1/2 of what started me on gaming in the first place. I loved 1-3, played them through all their secrets. GameCube's RE4 was, I thought, the awesome next step. RE5 didn't feel like RE. I HATED the parasite attached to my character making a solo play impossible because there was no way to kill her off and keep going solo. She also ate resources. Coop play is a fantastic idea but only if it's not required. The landscape also sucked. Chris was also tired. Anyway, onto RE6.

    PROS:

    THE PARASITE: The co-op critter attached to you can be ignored. It can't die and it doesn't drain your resources. Ignore it and you'll be fine apart from waiting on a few doors to open.

    ATMOSPHERE: More of a return to what RE should be, over that RE5 debacle. Each line is different. Leon is kinda standard. Chris is more in tune with RE5 (kill him off already), but limited so it's ok. The Jake line is a newer take that I rather liked, with a different approach to fighting without a gun. Not so much on the puzzles but a step closer to where we need to be.

    GAMEPLAY: A little bit of everything. There's a snowmobile chase scene. I didn't think I'd like this, but I did. Defend against a harrowing ambush in a snowy cabin only to escape out the back onto a snowmobile for a refreshing change of pace. Stealth-ish options in the Jake/Sherri sequence. A car chase. With guns. A bit of flying with some shooting. A motorcycle chase, again with guns. All these just feel like a little respite from the shoot and splatter bits, a way to segway into the next bits. The Ada story (played last for storyline sake) is solo and can be somewhat stealthish in parts, though there is co-op available. The way her line was structured is how co-op should be...truly optional.

    PERSPECTIVE: They brought back perspective flipping by playing through as different characters. Two flips within 3 storylines...and 3 storylines. Six playthroughs if you like. Weapons exclusive to each character. Motives. Secrets. More of a return from the RE5 crap.

    REACTIVE MOBS: Evolving monsters like in RE4. Shoot a mob in the arm, they adapt by growing a super armor arm that they then use to shield themselves almost completely...forcing you to go for an ankleshot unless you have a grenade launcher or some such. Leg shots...similar problems. Head...well, sometimes they sprout a new one. Shotgun blast to the chest....sometimes they blow up into a walking bioexplosive...but you can use these to bomb other mobs. They have snipers too.

    INVENTORY: The wheels are nice. Herbs finally get their own special place, with a hotkey for fast eating.

    JAKE: Good addition to the traditional eyeroll, Class B horror flick drama of RE.

    GODZILLA: Zombie style.

    CONS:

    BUTTON MASHING: OMFGWHY. WHY? Why do I have to bang on keyboard and mouse with such repetition that my wrist muscles burn and my fingers cramp? There are some escape sequences that require this BS to such a degree that it almost makes me quit and purge the game from my system entirely. (See: Sherri/Jake doors and drill sequence).

    CHASE BUTTON MASHING: OMFGWHY kicked up to the tenth power. (See: Chris storyline escape seamonster sequence). This is exacerbated by forced camera flipping which turns your W key from backwards to forwards to sideways in a blink. I played this for 2 hours on fail. Came back again out of stubborness. Got it, but only by rote memorization of key stamps and clicks to the end. Start over to take it another 2 feet, die. Start over again to add yet another 2 feet, die. Rinse/repeat until you know each camera flip and key mash. Like learning Morse Code on the fly and putting it into keyboard/mouse gaming controls. This gameplay fxn needs to be erased. It's tedious instead of challenging. Gamebreaking for many.

    HEADSHOTS: Why doesn't a headshot do anything to a typical zombie?

    CHRIS: Why isn't he dead yet? From a steroid induced aneurism if nothing else.

    DIFFICULTY: Doesn't feel like survival horror, just urban landscape biohorror with guns and much ammunition.    … Expand

    Better than RE4 and much better than RE5 and ORC. It's not the same RE as RE1 and RE3, but it's not bad. It has really good plot - something new in RE franchise. It has well known characters and new ones which are really great. You can move while shooting so this game is more dynamic than RE4 and RE5. You can feel old RE a bit in Leon's campaing but Chris's campaign was the best for me.

I love Resident Evil series each in their own way, but the old ones are better in my opinion and the turn the series took is not the one that had best potential in my opinion.

    As you can see, lately the best upcoming horror games were inspired from the old Resident Evil style such as 'Outlast', 'Until Dawn', 'Alien Isolation'. However, the only one that is really scary is Outlast in my opinion and the best way ahead.

    Resident Evil, the old ones, even with technology limitations were brilliant. The environment, the lighting and the horror were really taking the player's immersion into great scare and horror.

    Now, even with greater technology, only the graphics change and they fill up the rest with action, more action and...more action and explosion. Like...really?

    It started at Resident Evil 4...a zombie with a crossbow? Even the virus was not interesting...from this installment, in each successive game, only the horror part were nice.

    Because let's be honest, the plot never really changes. It goes like this: Intro -> Outbreak -> Laboratory-> END. They have removed all the exploration, puzzle, atmospheric and scary parts from the old style to bring...MORE ACTION and GORE...with the same plot. So the only interesting parts are in the lab with the latest installment. It's even more linear than the old games.

    As for today, successful horror games bring back the exploration, puzzle, adventurous and horrific style that WAS Resident Evil at its core. The abandoned Mansion was amazing. I'm not saying that it should still be that way, but keeping isolation on your characters with scary environment such as old houses/mansion/train/lab/church/etc. is the core of its game...not going to africa in the middle of nowhere.

    I remember playing RES2 and going through an hallway was so hard, it was terrifying! Now, I'm so pumped up and arm to the teeth I don't f*cking care. I got Chris big guns with infinite ammo and destroy the entire world with a push up...like seriously! Wesker is like the most dangerous enemy and he had to die so easily...What I meant is now even with "greater technology" and visual effects, it's not more terrifying. But Outlast was scary as shjt and its all because of the environment and situation you are into. You can't fight, you hide and survive. Res used to be like that, one gun, a few bullet and a knife and make your bullet count.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the better console ports that I have seen, plenty of new features to the game, mostly in primping an customizing your profile though. At the point of writing this, the COOP is playable with occasional drop outs and lag but not enough to ruin the experience. The problem come in with the controls however. They have given you more control of your character, but aiming and shooting are very flaky up close as the camera angle always seems to be jut of, enough to cause you to miss those crucial up close shots consistently enough to make close quarter's fighting a real chore. The zombies have also sen a big overhaul, mainly in the form of new types of zombies, enough to keep fights interesting, especially early on. The second overhaul, zombie moves i one I am not so fond of. Zombies now can leap massive distances and when down on the ground are even more dangerous than their walking variant.

    It's a good game but it has taken steps towards the wrong direction. Too much action oriented, a bad inventory not letting you fix and organize your weapons and items and many campaigns that actually take place the same time ruining the immersion factor.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    If we forget the roots of the franchise, we have ourselves a pretty awesome and addictive 3rd person shooter. [May 2013]

    An apocalyptic disappointment that never rises above mediocrity, but often sinks into tedium. [July 2013, p.72]
