    Game is great but its not a resident evil game.

    The removed some stuff that re4 and re5 had which sucks. The animations are so awful I was dying from laughter multiple times.

    I started with Chris and had to push myself to finish the first chapter cuz it felt like I was playing Army of Two and all the hate I heard for this game didnt help either, but I stuck thru it and his playthrough was ok.

    Leon's was way better and I enjoyed it a lot, Helena is a great character and the boss designs were funny and crazy af.

    Jakes playthrough was again great, cool level designs and Ustanak is now my favorite Re boss.

    Ada's was ok, it gives you the last bits of the story so you eventually understand everything but the gameplay was pretty lame.

    I recommend it but only if you promise yourself to not treat it like a RE game and push yourself to finish one chapter    … Expand

    Contras:
    - Antagonistas
    - Falta de exclusividade das armas (elemento adicionado em Re4 e esquecido até então)
    - Excesso de quick time events atrapalhando o replay do game

    Conclusão: Re6 é um jogo muito bom, bem melhor do que eu esperava de acordo com que sempre ouvi falar sobre ele, que era um jogo lixo que não possuia uma identidade própria etc. Acredito que quem jogou esperando um survivor horror claramente se decepcionou afinal esse é um jogo de ação, ouvi pessoas dizendo que a campanha do Leon era mais survivor horror e eu não poderia discordar mais após jogar, a campanha do Leon possui ação e puzzles simples com cenários mais obscuros mas não possui nada de survivor horror. Já a do Chris sendo ação, Jake ação e um pouco de stealth e Ada sendo em grande parte Stealth com puzzles mais interessantes que a campanha do Leon.

    Os pontos negativos desse jogo se dão ao fato de terem algumas boss fights bem toscas principalmente na campanha do Leon, muitos momentos de quick time e um vilão fraco porém quando se trata de uma boa jogabilidade e um enredo que desenvolve os personagens RE6 se destaca entre a franquia afinal o enredo de Chris trás consigo um desenvolvimento de personagem excelente, Jake e Sherry possuem também um crescimento de destaque, a escolha de colocar os filhos de dois grandes vilões da saga como protagonistas foi bem acertada. Já a campanha da Ada tem seu valor mais em gameplay, acredito que o enredo tenha revelado infelizmente vilões pouco interessantes e com baixo desenvolvimento e deixando a campanhda de Leon por ultimo apesar de ter sido a primeira que joguei... bem ela é na minha opnião a pior trazendo puzzles muito bobos, vários momentos de quick times, ação além do ponto com batalhas com tubarão, dinossauro, mosquito e por ai vai... sem falar dos inimigos de sua campanha que são insuportáveis.

    Re6 sem dúvidas é um jogo que decepcionou muito por não possuir gerenciamento de recursos (apesar de ter sim um gereciamento, ele é muito simples comparado aos Residents passados) e survivor como seus anteriores mas como um game de ação ele é excelente e sobre a crise de identidade que muitos dizem eu discordo, acho que o jogo tráz de tudo um pouco não tão bem explorado como poderia ser mas na medida certa sem exagerar por exemplo em suas partes de veiculos.

    Resident Evil 6 é como comprar um jogo de ritmos e gameplays variados porém mantendo o core de ação.    … Expand

    I had a low expectations, but at the end, this game was preety nice for me. I like how the different campaigns slowly collide as you go through the game. Enemies and bosses are really good, battles are intense and over the top. Maybe it is not a good ''RE'' game,but for sure it is a good game.

    Resident Evil 6 is nothing like Resident Evil. It's full of action, explosions are all over the place, and the gameplay is extremely fast paced. It is the exact opposite of what Resident Evil is at its core. The franchise as a whole is meant to evoke a sense of dread, scare, play with your head.

And yet, I have soaked more hours into this RE game than I have with any other in the series. A lot of people constantly bash this game because its an action game. They bash it because it's not true RE. But this does not mean it's a generally bad game. Far from it in fact. The gameplay here is fun and engaging. There was never a dull moment while rootin' tootin' and shootin'. This is especially prevalent in the mercenaries mode which makes its return here. The story is also intriguing and it's honestly fascinating to see how all the plots of the previous RE games culminate into this beautiful behemoth of a story. The best part is easily the fact that there are multiple playthroughs, each one follows different characters and are completely different from each other. However, the playthroughs do sometimes intersect with each other. My favorite campaign was Leon's, simply because he has more of a classic RE adventure, and the final boss is literally 1/4 of the campaign. All the other campaigns are also very enjoyable, and I cannot say that they aren't worth playing. The sheer ridiculousness of this game proves to be not it's undoing, but rather the entire reason you should try this game. If it helps, you can just pretend that this is a spin-off or even part of a completely separate franchise. This is an absolute blast of an experience.… Expand

    Let's start by saying that I acknowledge the various tecnical issues, other than the fact that the game's style and gameplay are far from the original premises of the series, but I loved this game the first time I played it and even now that I found myself playing it again (both times in coop with my brother via split screen coop) which not many games offer anymore).

    The fun we have everytime we play this, without the amount of rage-fuelling competitivity that other games offer, is just so refreshing.
    Is it a scary game to buy to get if you want to be put on edge? No.
    It's more a cheesy and exaggerated action game that will make you have a good time with the absurdities it throws at you in such an adorable and heartwarming way.
    I never in my life had this type of silly fun in a game except for a few times. Too few, I think.
    I absolutely, totally reccomend this game if you have a person you want to share the adventure with, split screen is better, but coop is totally fine as well.
    A 10 is too much, I'd more go for an 8/9, but the general score seems to me a bit too low, in the face of the huge amount of content that the game presents and the cheap price you can obtain the game today.
    I'm all for games that have an entertaining story, gameplay and great graphics, just because a game went too far from its roots doesn't mean is a bad one.
    I'm sure if it wasn't called Resident Evil, that score would be way higher, without having to justify it with some technicalities that aren't game breaking, while still being frustrating at times, I'll give you that.
    I hope they'll remaster the game with the fluidity of Resident Evil 2: Remake and fully enjoy this fun and adorably dorky experience that yes, may not hold up as a good Resident Evil, but assures some good laughs and a fun time.    … Expand

I could do with less "near death" scenarios as they've been overdone. However as far as combat, story line and boss battles, this is the peak of the series so far.    … Expand

The criticism people have is valid, but this game has some much to offer for what it is currently rated as. I have played mechanically based games like the souls series and blood borne and the current day shadows die twice. Never have I seen a game with this much effort put in its combat mechanics. The story does have its flaws, but can be overlooked with its skilled based reward system. Not sure if people are unwilling to put to the effort to learn the hard and a bit complex mechanics then justify the harsh criticism with “bad story” “ Clunky mechanics“. This game has several difficulty modes Amateur, normal, veteran, professional, and no hope. My first play through was on veteran and man was it hard. After analyzing what made this game difficult was my lack of knowledge for its in depth mechanics. On a final note if you are an individual who wants a traditional Resident evil game or a easy game this is not for you.… Expand

Games are played because they’re fun, and I would have to say the gameplay in this is the best of any RE game-being able to move and aim/shoot, dive, roll, and melee at will. Yes it’s more of a gears of war style of gameplay, but I enjoyed playing through it. You will also get your moneys worth, as the game takes you through 16 hours worth across 4 campaigns. Most resident evil games you’re lucky to beat in more than 9 or 10 hours. I’m a huge fan of all resident evil games, people need to expand their horizons and not expect every frickin RE game to be like the original 3. If you want a fun time with a game, and not take it too seriously, you will enjoy this game. This game gets waaaaay more hate than it deserves.… Expand

I got the game for $15 on sale at best buy so I gave it a shot and see what all the fuss was about.

    When I started the game up it seemed to have a fimular resident evil vibe. I played the 4 campaigns in order and really enjoyed them all. I like the new enemies(there were tons of different types) the boss battles, the big set pieces and more action orientated levels too. The graphics are great. The game is broken into 4 campaigns the first 3 can be played co-op or solo which is very cool. The first campaign is like the original resident evil but more action, the 2nd plays like a "gear of war clone" all action no puzzles, the 3rd is a mix of resident evil 3 with stealth mechanics added. And the last campaign is solo and wraps it all up in a nice bow. It was a blast to play through.

    There are a ton of extra modes where you can do a lot of fun co-op or solo missions. I also love you can go into another players game as a monster or just jump in to play a mission and assist the another player. If you want a cool game and have ever played resident evil and arn't hung up on it being more modern with a faster pace then you will like this game. Its a solid title, I recommend it to anybody who's wants a fun action co-op resident evil title with a lot of twisted and turns.    … Expand

    wow, so many people bashing at it.... It's not the worst game of the generation like some of you say,just wow x-x. What train hit you to say such things? Yeah sure,it's not the same Resident Evil that used to be, but it was still a fun game to play ( better than 5 in my opinion). You can play a campaign up to 7-8 hours ( 4 campaigns in total, not 3) on a harder difficulty. There are a lotwow, so many people bashing at it....

You can play a campaign up to 7-8 hours ( 4 campaigns in total, not 3) on a harder difficulty. There are a lot of quick time events,sure but I think that they're set for the right moments, an example is when you get grabbed by a zombie, of course you have to try something to escape right? And QTE are also used to enhance some cutscenes, making them more intense, not to mention that on Easy difficulty those cutscenes QTE will be done automatically..that's something no one talks about ¬_¬ . There's also a lot of variation in the game, from driving(flying,etc) to some light puzzles. The graphics aren't bad either and the storyline is pretty alright ( not the best but acceptable). Ammo is pretty scarce as well and the environment is well made. It's not horror but Leon's campaign has a little level of creepiness. The only bad thing about this game that I can say, is the online mode. While Agent Hunt is a great idea, it's entirely broken, you can barely move or do anything useful. It turns from fun to a chore. Mercenaries it's okay I guess, more intense ( a little bit),but not that much better than RE5. Annnd..the other modes you have to pay for...Ustanak was meh , great idea to look at but when you get to play it, it's kinda bad in my opinion. They should've put way more effort in the Online modes (that's cheap) . It's also a bit sad that the costumes are removed from the campaign. The game has ups and downs for sure, but it's not a bad game like some of you scream out there or bash at it. If some people would complain less and not right off the bat, playing the game more,the might see,that there was effort into it. To me overall Resident Evil 6 was a pretty good game, I hope the next one is even better. (Sorry for my english)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have always been a fan of the Resident Evil games and have played/seen all of them, and for me Resident Evil 6 isn't an exception, I loved this game and for it to be available just for 20$ including all the DLC maps & game modes it's worth it. For me the gameplay and storyline were very solid, giving the player a wide variety of moves to try out and defeat it's enemy's, and the fact that you can play with your friends or other people in general in the campaign makes it even more fun. The new characters they introduced were welcomed each one with its own backstory (you can read about them in the collectibles room if you've collected the right serpent emblem in that characters campaign). The only downside to me is the fact that you can't play the DLC game modes in split screen, like you can in the campaign and in mercenaries. Still i rate this game a 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Resident Evil has seen its ups and downs to many gamers in regard to how it use to be in the early 90's to mid 2000, with its fixed camera angels and limited ammo. I think as a fan since Resident Evil 2 the series needs to be bigger then it was, with each entry upping the anti for a much more cinematic effect and blockbuster action mixed, survival horror elements. It really lends itself well to the series. With its big spectacles and wonderful gameplay. Resident Evil 6 takes these notions to new heights with its interwoven story and its larger then life characters. Resident Evil 6 is to myself the biggest and best entry in the series and a very well made game in that respect. The story here is the biggest we've seen and the characters are so engaging in their quest to rid bioterrorism from the face of the earth. One of my favorite features in the game is the crossover feature, letting you play with up to four players/people at certain areas of the game its brilliant. The new characters feel very welcoming to the series, and the creature designs are very terrifying. There are four different play styles in the game to cater to each style of Resident Evil fan, retaining a certain uniqueness to each campaign. There is loads to do and many different modes for all varied players. The Mercenaries' mode is the best to date and there are tones of different new modes to choose from. Resident Evil 6 was an absolute amazing game to play with its few jumps scare and action set pieces it was a great experience for a long time Resident Evil fan. Sure their were a lot of action prompts, but those can be turned on or off at players discretion. I have and played all 21 entire in the series of games and this was my favorite by far. Resident evil 4 may be the best entry to most fans in the series,but where do you think the series went wrong from the originals, ill say it, "Resident Evil 4" The game is great but their in lies the rub. This is where the series changed into the new direction it is today. Everyone is different, one mans trash is another's treasure as the saying goes, everyone is different with different tastes. How do you bring back the fans of the first five main entries in the series like from 0 to 4 without alienating everyone who loves the later games of the series like 5 the revelations series, 6 and ORC but, there is no denying that this game was the biggest and most exciting Resident Evil to date. It's all right to jump back and forth like Capcom has been doing as of late, and trying new things, but that just means there is more Resident Evil to play, with different takes of enjoyment and that just means more Resident Evil for all to play!… Expand

    As one of the few who like the old and new Resident Evil games, this re-release is most welcome. This isn't the best game of the series, but it's solid and a lot of fun if you don't go in with any preconceived notions. Don't expect challenging puzzles, deep exploration or backtracking. Don't expect to be scared to turn the next corner, agonizing over what could be waiting to terrify you.As one of the few who like the old and new Resident Evil games, this re-release is most welcome.

If you have a friend to co-op with, it's great. Solo less so but still enjoyable. Just dig in and enjoy it for what it is, for $20 this is a steal. Recommended if you've never played it or if it's been a while and you enjoyed it the first time around.… Expand

    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 hesitateFantastic port of the PC version to PS4. Frame rate is rock solid.

    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.

    I have no idea why people are saying this game is bad. I loved it, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is top notch. I thought the two of the campaigns were good, chris and leons. Jakes campaign was not that good. The action was also a very good part about the game and this ps4 remaster was better than the original.

    Let it be known, that I like all the RE games, from 0 to 6, though i will acknowledge 6 has some flaws. with that said, for $20, with all the DLC loaded and running at an improved 1080p with 60fps, the co-op and competitive multiplayer alone is worth it.

    I've always loved Resident Evil 6. 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.

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.… Expand

    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]

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

    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.
