    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil 6 isn't straight up trash or anything but it's not good either. There are flaws to it.

    The most notable flaws are the clunky cover mechanic. This wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't a campaign where you have to use the cover mechanic (Chris campaign heavily rely on this mechanic). You wouldn't have a problem on lower difficulty but on higher difficulty this will be the problem.

    The inventory system sucks too. You have to scroll through all the weapons to get the weapon you're gonna use. It's slow and when you have 6 different weapons on you or so if became difficult to equip the weapon you're gonna use.

    Other than that all of the campaign is pretty good except Ada's campaign.
    If you play co-op mode in ada campaign one person will be play as Agent. The Agent cant do anything except shoot and fight.

    [Spoiler part here]

    On chapter 3 when fighting the chainsaw enemy you're supposed to use the grappling hook when the enemy gets to close to you but Agent CANT USE THE THING.

    Overall is a decent game not the best    … Expand

They couldn't make a better, longer, more interesting story with new characters so they played it safe and bet on established characters and big ol' tiddys with jiggle physics but this doesn't save the game.    … Expand

    A very weak and heavy game unlike other titles.

    Resident Evil 6 is the sixth installment of the Resident Evil saga, which has been criticized in a very controversial way for different changes and lies by Capcom, (the creator company), which have made this game, despite the fact that be very enjoyable, be one of the worst Resident Evil in the saga by far.

    Resident Evil 6 is the sixth installment of the Resident Evil saga, which has been criticized in a very controversial way for different changes and lies by Capcom, (the creator company), which have made this game, despite the fact that be very enjoyable, be one of the worst Resident Evil in the saga by far.

    Graphics:

    It has a quite acceptable technical section, especially in the modeling of the protagonists, although the lighting lacks some work, and there is a certain imbalance with the brightness and contrast of the colors that makes everything look very dark, (sometimes even the point of seeing almost nothing).

    Although for that generation there are games with better graphics and with a more careful and worked artistic section, Resident Evil 6 does not look bad at all, but it could have been better.

    Soundtrack:

    Good quality, but quite forgettable, most of it is background music that goes very unnoticed, and in the fighting it is not a big thing, in this aspect, it is simply acceptable.

    Controls:

    Without a doubt, the most elaborate part of the game, handling any of the protagonists is very comfortable, with a smoothness like butter, since you have many options to evade the attacks of the monsters and many options to attack with melee attacks, (a Sometimes they freak out a lot, but visually it is very good).

    Perhaps this makes the game quite difficult, since it takes away realism, but being an action game, rather than a survival horror game, it can happen.

    In addition, in each mission you have a companion who accompanies you in each mission, which reduces tension and difficulty, the good thing is that this companion has his own ammunition and weapons, and you do not need to share yours, unlike the one Resident Evil 5.

    To be fair, the artificial intelligence of the partner is very disastrous, it does not help almost anything and you will have to do everything.

    Gameplay:

    Here we go to the worst of the game without a doubt, and that together with the controls make this Resident Evil one of the worst with its change of direction from a horror and survival game, to an action game.

    To sum it up, this Resident Evil is a Gears Of War with zombies, as you read it, the campaign is a constant unbridled fight with monsters, all the time you have to take cover and shoot as if it were a shooter, to the point that it is simply overwhelming, let's go to go into detail.

    The game consists of 4 campaigns, and with each campaign you play with a protagonist and his corresponding partner, and you can also play online and cooperatively with split screen to pass the missions.

    Each campaign is made up of a number of chapters, and each chapter can easily last you almost 1 hour, I'm not kidding, I imagine you are already getting the hang of why this is heavy.

    And on top of that, the missions of each of the protagonists are generic beyond belief, although there are certain missions where the protagonists are linked by story terms, the missions are so heavy and with such a generic and uninteresting story that you will get bored at 2 hours of play.

    For example, (this happens in several scenes of the game, "slight spoiler"):

    You get out of the car, you have to run because everything is flying through the air and the ground is sinking, you get on a helicopter, and you have to shoot several zombies with rocket launchers while you have a zombie that has sneaked into the door of the helicopter, And all this while you collide with several buildings, you fall from the helicopter, you get up and you have to run because the ground is made of glass while missiles are launched at you, and you have to charge a monster of more than 1000m high, while you climb the ropes of an elevator because everything is collapsed and with explosions.

    That's the whole game, they don't let you breathe, not for a moment, there are very forced areas, with escape sequences and action that are trial and error.

    A very weak game, with better options on the market.

    Probably the worst RE game I've ever played (I played all numeric parts). After great 4th part, good 5th part this one is very so so game. Main antagonist is much worse than Albert Wesker. The story is not that good. Gameplay is like a bad clone of Call of Duty with zombies. 4 campaigns looks like Capcom didn't get with single good campaign. And they created 4 bad instead.

    The fact that every single minute we have some epic explosions and crashes is good for first several hours. After a few hours of unstoppable booms it made me tired of that.

    Ada Wong looks worse than in Resident Evil 4. WTF Capcom?

    But I still recommend this game to play because sometimes it's really good, some bosses are cool, campaigns for Ada Wong(especially episodes when she is in ventilation) and Leon are good. Some cinematic moments are also great. And also it seems it's t he longest Resident Evil game so amount of content is huge.

    The game is quite interesting plot is very beautiful, but I still did not like the management it is quite difficult although you can probably get used to it, but most of all infuriates the campaign for Ada wong I mean the cooperative regime is on the idea the campaign for Wong it should be single.

    Undoubtedly a release that gave a lot to talk about, but thanks to its low digital price I bought it back.

    For a RE it's very bad, it threw everything away (the little redeemable of RE 5) and it's a mix of Uncharted (in a bad way) + Call of Duty.

    As an action game it can work ( and it's not a 10 either), but thanks to its duration and its extras it's not boring.

    Resident Evil 6 was probably designed by Michael Bay. This game has nothing to do with the known Resident Evil series and it doesn't feel like that it should be. All of the playable characters went to some wrestling school as well. Just feels weird and disappointing for a Resident Evil game.

The skill and weapon unlocks make replaying more fun and varied. A lot of content, fluid controls, fun progression, with high octane action set in the nightmare freaky universe of RE. That was my opinion on the 360 version.

    Nostalgia is a "B". So in today's day on the PS4 in 2019 the game has the constant annoying characteristic to switch between game play, cut scenes and in game rendered scenes. To then throw you back into to gameplay. That can be quite jarring and pulled myself and co-op partner out of the game when that happened. The camera angle changes even the positioning in the level can change and the enemy can cheap shot you.. Worst of all is those sprint chase/escape sequences. They tried to for a dramatic cinematic camera angle through most of those sequences, but it a technical frustrating nightmare mess to actually play those sections (even more so in co-op). The Chris and Piers level is probably the worst for that offence with four truly diabolically awful sprint chase/escape sequences.

    Summing up RE6 is a cheesy janky action game with hoaky dialogue, lots of QTE's and loads of scripted rendered/cut scene BS. Yeah mostly silly fun action nonsense with more than a few frustrating camera and control issues.    … Expand

Leon tries to be more of a horror/action game and is good for the first four chapters, but ends on one of the most ridiculous boss fights I have ever seen in the franchise. Chris’ campaign plays kind of like a military shooter and has some fun moments, but fails overall. Jake’s campaign had some fun moments but is straight up action and is just not very good. The best part of Jake’s campaign was the boss, Ustanak. He reminded me of Nemesis, but not as cool. Ada’s campaign is easily the most boring thing I’ve ever played in a Resident Evil game. It’s slower paced and there are puzzles, but Capcom still managed to screw that up. The only positives in Resident Evil 6 is the majority of Leon’s campaign, Mercenaries Mode, and the fact that it is a well made game in the sense of production values. Easily my least favorite entry in the main series and I hope Resident Evil will never hit rock bottom again. It's not the worst game ever, but it's definitely not good.… Expand

    A wide selection of weapons, which is more than in the Resident Evil 7.
