    After a hundred hours spent with RE6 I’m still hungry for more. While others complain that Resident Evil reached the gutter, I’m in love with the Mercenaries mode and superb combat system that lets you create unbelievable encounters. [06/2016, p.59]

    Resident Evil 6 is the franchise's installment with more action, and now it comes to the next generation with a fairly low price, enhanced graphics that are more realistic and exclusive content that can be only seen in this generation of consoles.

    Resident Evil 6 looks great running at 1080p and 60 FPS. Capcom's game comes fully loaded, with all of its content available from the very beginning, which guarantees many non-stop hours of fun. Probably not the best game of the series and it doesn't offer any changes besides the visuals, but it offers action and enjoyment without complications, being the most ambitious Resident Evil entry in the franchise.

    The same game that we played a few years ago on old-gen consoles, but adapted to modern day hardware and with a lot of extra content. This one may not be the best RE out there, but it's still enjoyable.

    The same game we played on PS3 and Xbox 360, but with better graphics and all DLCs included. Focused on action, it moves away from terror to search the spectacle.

    As a game, you know what to expect of RE6 by now. If you are willing to accept its more action-focused gameplay and the lack of horror, RE6 is actually an interesting game with a lot of content, and this remaster makes it look better than even on consoles.

    Resident Evil 6 continues down the divergent path of shaping the series into more of a third-person shooter game than survival horror, but there’s so much content here that’s actually fun to play through it’s difficult to criticize it too much.

    Basically the same game that divided the fanbase almost 4 years ago. With the additions of a GOTY version and improved visuals.

    Four years after the original release, Resident Evil 6 is pretty much the same game. The HD version shows the usual technical improvements of many other remasters (1080p and 60 frame per second), but nothing more. Disappointing for the fanbase, Resident Evil 6 is a huge title but is somehow inconsistent, able to pursue neither the fast paced action of the fourth chapter, nor the survival horror spirit of the origins.

    Even with a lifting on current-gen consoles, this is STILL Resident Evil 6 my friends, an action-focused third person action game... take it or leave it, but don't expect a good, old “Resi”.

    Boasting a mostly decent remastering effort and a much welcomed wealth of content set against a frustratingly incoherent set of campaign scenarios and frustrating clunkiness, Resident Evil 6 on PS4 is the definitive edition of the series’ most divisive entry and is perhaps more easily recommended to the uninitiated rather than those who were turned off by the game’s original PS3 outing.

    A bold but ultimately damned experiment, the game unfortunately does not offer any huge benefits in its PlayStation 4 re-release.

    There are highs and lows to the design, but it's a fundamentally solid action title with a few terrible design decisions that make it harder to get into than it should be.

    Even though it looks more beautiful and crisp on this generation of consoles, Resident Evil 6 continues to be a game with a lack of identity and many, many problems.

    Undoubtedly better than Resident Evil 5, this sixth episode of one of the greatest series will have trouble uniting people around its proposal. That was the case in 2012 on PS3/360, and it's still the same now in 2016 with this PS4/Xbox One edition.

    As expected, Resident Evil 6 — four years after its original release — remains one of the series’ most underbaked, underdeveloped and downright unappealing entries in a franchise that has claimed far greater heights in terms of gameplay and presentation.

    The same linear, patronisingly simplistic time waster it always was, but if you really must have a remaster of Resident Evil 6 this isn’t a bad job.

    It’s not enough to say that Resident Evil 6 is poor as a Resident Evil game. That alone implies there could be a quality experience if fans can get past their preconceptions and feelings of betrayal. No, Resident Evil 6 is poor by the standards of any game, not just the high ones set by its own legacy.

    Fantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid. Overall experience much better than the PS3 version. Like many great games,Fantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid. Overall experience much better than the PS3 version. Like many great games, RE6 has minor design niggles, but the overall experience is so amazing and rich that they're easily forgivable because none of them are really significant. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas had some horrid, frustrating missions, and I wouldn't hesitate to give it 10/10, so I don't hesitate to give this game 10/10 either.

    Hopefully the game gets a fairer reception this time.

So, to be bias, I've never liked Resident Evils 1 - 3 because of it's stiff camera and controls, which never made those games for me. So, to be fair, I'm not a fan or familiar of Resident Evil with it's scary roots, so I look at this game as a simple third-person shooter just like Gears of War and what not. And to me, the game runs really smooth, no glitches, no bugs, still glad that they made your partner not contributing to your game overs from Resident Evil 5. True, it's linear, but so was Crash Bandicoot so those nitpicks don't get to me. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I understand where this game isn't for purist fans. But I'm not one of them, so that's why I rate this game higher than them. Full Review »

    Resident Evil 6 is a sprawling epic of a game with fantastic combat mechanics and a massive amount of content.

    Once you have learned the complex control system you have a quite unprecedented amount of control over your character, and wading through enemies using all the techniques available to you feels fantastic.
