    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

    More games should take note from the number of boss battle in this game.
    Also the action is intense, I love it. They could lower just a bit of the unrealistic action, come on, a plane liner crash and you're telling me Leon is just fine? 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

That’s not always a bad thing, I’m glad they decided to go with one last action based RE game before going back to more survival horror like in 7 and remake of 2. 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

    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.
