    But for me, this is a good game, maybe because I played it a lot when I was younger, but even when I was older I liked the game.
    Even though it departs a little from the survival horror proposal and goes more towards an action side, I liked the game, it's clearly not one of the best for me, but the story I don't think is bad, I like the protagonists, and it's a lot of fun, especially playing in co-op with a friend.
    Perhaps what made me like the game was not having completed the campaigns alone, but with a friend.
    However, I cannot say that it is a very good game either, I admit that it is very disappointing in relation to the others, but for me it is special.
    But I don't like everything about the game, as I said before the story is weak, and the game is full of bugs that disturb the gameplay, and the enemies are more of the same, it seems that they simply copied some enemies from re4 and re5 and played in re6. The movement is strange, and in certain missions in which your objective is to escape from a monster, changing the camera is very annoying!
    But otherwise, it's a game that I like, and that made my childhood.    … Expand

    There is some things I would change with the game such as the story aspect. Leon & Helena should have been the main story of the game. Jake & sherry was unenjoyable because Jake Muller is the worst character in all of Resident Evil history, even a NPC is better. Chris & Piers storyline was okay but didn't add much to the game.

    Resident Evil 6 has the best mechanics of any game in the series and feels fluid to play and its a shame people hated it. If you have not played this one I strongly recommend to do so.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 6 is an "everything but the kitchen sink" sequel. Capcom packed it to the gills with multiple campaigns, modes and several features. This is also the most polarizing RE entry since it's basically an action game. Purists will hate it, but more forgiving fans should enjoy the ride. I would rate this with a 7.4 out of 10.

    The intersecting storylines were a great idea and do result in some cool moments, as well as some cool set pieces, but that can also backfire when you find yourself repeating a section or boss battle.

    Mostly, my gripe with the game is that you will often find yourself stuck and not knowing what to do. I did have to refer to walkthroughs multiple times just to figure out that it wasn't enough just to shoot this boss-you have to walk up and initiate QT event. But that other boss just requires taking an absurd amount of bullets to finish. You'll always feel like you're doing the wrong thing. This goes doubly for the numerous running sequences with a constantly shifting camera angle.

    Throw that in with the irritating enemies that you have to kill twice because of their transformations and it's a real mess of a game.    … Expand

    Crapcom keeps finding ways to make RE worse, if you're an old resident evil fan you won't find much here and if you're looking for a good third-person shooter you should look elsewhere too.

    This game is bad, way too linear, long and boring. btw this game has the worse split gameplay I ever play, you lose way too much of space on the screen.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have played through all four main campaigns, but not out of fun but more out of my will to search for the good. Sadly, all this game did for me is make me want to play Resident Evil 4 again, which I immediately did, twice. I absolutely love Resident Evil 4, so the problem of Resident Evil 6 is not it being less survival horror than action. It is the game itself. Frustrating unrealistic leaping zombies (although oddly only in Leons/Helenas campaign), way too much focus on close combat, though it looking fancy, frustrating QTE and cheap deaths with trial and error, horrible camera at times, even cheesier dialogue than RE4, way too long (only a problem if not enjoyed), tons of "variety" in gampelay that feel minimalistic and poorly executed (like stealth, diving, flying a chopper or fighting jet, you name it). For me, this is the prime example of Quantity over quality when it comes to game modes. Sometimes, less is more. But there is more criticism. Awkward inventory and also too little inventory space (same as in RE5 but without the inventory outside of missions where you can safe stuff). That made me not use half of the weapons I owned, cause I had to decide which ammo to grab, which kills the fun for me. But wait, there is more: bosses that drag on way too much (for example Simmons with way too many phases), unsatisfying feeling of shooting enemies (they sponge the bullets, barely flinch and get reduced to weird black goo when killed) and awkward controls in general as well as unsatisfying upgrade system (not like in RE4 and RE5 with weapons to upgrade but just general upgrades like more damage to that type of enemy, etc. In addition, points are very scarce) I played through all four campaigns and only had like 4 abilities maxed out out of maybe 30. That was the major bad stuff that comes up to my mind right now. There is good tho too, but very little. I liked some of the cutscenes, although the game relies too much on hollywood explosions, combat animations were sometimes cool to look at. The HUD was pretty neat and visually changed with every character. Visually, the game is pretty decent too and sometimes it was fun, when having enough ammo and shooting your way through. Areas like the graveyard shine in atmosphere too but sadly are ruined through points mentioned above. Overall, sadly not to be recommended. One very rare occasion where I pick the game from my shelf and actually get rid of it after playing, never did this before. The combination of unsatisfying experience and too long duration makes this game for me personally unrecommandable, therefore the score of 5/10, since I partially enjoyed it, but definetly not enough to rate it above an average/ok game. I played solo, maybe its more fun with a friend but I dont see myself finishing it with a friend cause of its about 20-30 hours of gameplay. Maybe I will try it out but most likely, I will get rid of it.… Expand

The story is quite good, doing different character campaigns was a great success, all focusing on a different theme or setting, for example Chris's campaign has a setting very similar to RE 5 focused a lot on action but in some moments we have sections where terror predominates, while Leon's campaign feels like a classic RE and Revelations campaign, focusing more on giving an atmosphere of suspense and terrifying scenarios. The story in general is very good following the theme of bioterrorism that we have already been watching since RE 4, it is an excellent Resident Evil game and I think it has been unfairly hated when it comes to pleasing the fans who thought that RE was no longer trying give that terror that we love, which is offset by Leon's campaign and various parts of Chris's campaign. For me it is one of my favorite REs and a definitive version of everything that was shown to us since RE 4.… Expand

Além disso, as quatro campanhas do game não fizeram feio, apresentando uma campanha do Leon(focada nos zumbis e numa nostalgia do Resident Evil 2 misturada com o 4), uma campanha do Chris(focada nos J'avo e numa perspectiva mais próxima do Resident Evil 5, com mais cenas de ação), uma campanha do Jake(que possui grandes inspirações de Resident Evil 3, com um inimigo semelhante ao Nemesis, que o persegue durante a campanha inteira) e por último, a campanha da Ada(que lembra o Separate Ways de Resident Evil 4). Todas as campanhas se interligam, o que traz novas perspectivas sobre diferentes personagens com os quais jogamos. Os personagens novos introduzidos não são tão memoráveis, mas cumprem bem o seu devido papel.
    Por mais que Resident Evil 6 esteja bem longe do que os fãs desejam, e se torne muito mais um game de ação do que sobrevivência, não é uma obra prima quanto seus antecessores(e pode estar bem longe disso), mas ainda sim merece ser jogado- pelo menos por aqueles que gostam da franquia.    … Expand

    With the 6th main entry in the series Capcom moves even further away from the series horror roots in favor of straight up action gameplay in a horror skin.

This sort of change hasWith the 6th main entry in the series Capcom moves even further away from the series horror roots in favor of straight up action gameplay in a horror skin. You'll shoot grotesque monsters and Bruce Lee kick your way through zombies, but don't expect to find any scares here. The tone is much more in line with that of the movies (only with a much better plot). This sort of change has understandably ticked off longtime fans of the series. For a relative outsider like me though, it's not hard to see there's still a decent game here. This new embracing of the action genre has allowed for better gameplay than what was found in the 5th Resident Evil.

    It's amazing how much a little mobility can go along way to making a better game. You no longer have to stand perfectly still while shooting and fumble around with stiff aiming. While there are still some inconsistencies with the controls, it's an overall smooth 3rd-person shooter. I never felt like I couldn't get out of the way of a threat and always felt in control of the firefights.

    The cover system in the game is outright broken though. It's a pain to aim while using cover. Mix in some frustrating encounters here and there and RE 6 isn't as smooth an experience as one would like. Yet, it's leaps and bounds more playable than RE 5. The gameplay is pretty solid all the way through and the big, explosive set-pieces can be a blast to play through, even if they serve as another example of the not well received change in the series identity. There's also a lot of content to dig into.

    RE 6 comes packed with four, fully fleshed out campaigns to play through. Each with their own feel, encounters, and story elements to make them feel distinct from one another. While they all end up playing out like action movies at some point, you can find traces of the series horror roots in the likes of Leon's campaign. Still nothing scary though. Playing through them all is the only way to get the whole picture of the overall events the game covers, as each only show one side of the story. The writing itself isn't all that interesting, and basically all of the new characters suck, but it's a pretty cool and ambitious move. It's fun to see the different character's goals intertwine and cross over with one another.

    Just like RE 5, the ability to experience the entire thing with a friend is a big focus. Multiplayer as a whole is really. Not only can you team up with a buddy, but during certain moments other players can join your game for brief sessions when the stories connect at some points. There's also the ability to jump into other players games as a monster to give them a little extra trouble. The series Mercenaries mode also makes a return. Of course all of this isn't as lively as when the game first came out, but you can still get your moments of cooperative multiplayer fun in.

    Even if you don't go the co-op root, this is still a solid single-player experience. If you do want to experience this with a friend, I recommend doing so online. Playing this as a couch co-op game kind of sucks thanks to a boneheaded design choice regarding the handling of the split-screen. It's kind of hard to explain, but both players screens are shrunk down and kind of positioned in a way where the lower right corner of one sits on top of the upper left corner of the other. The other 40% of the screen is left blank. Who though that was a good idea. This outright moronic decision makes it hard to see what's going on at times and actively discourages people form playing local co-op. It was a stupid move on Capcom's part, and I really hope they learn from their mistake and NEVER do that again.

    Resident Evil 6 is a flawed, content rich beast. One that seemingly forgets what made people love the series in the first place by trading scares for explosions. There's still an entertaining game here though. Just the simple act of increasing play mobility makes things so much more fun than they were in Resident Evil 5. It's a much better co-op game as well (minus the split-screen stupidity). Where RE 5 suffered from trying to awkwardly balance on the line separating the horror and action genres in an effort to please longtime fans and take the series in a new direction, RE 6 benefits from definitively picking a side even if it's not the one most people wanted them to pick. Some horror genre elements are still hanging around like limited ammo that hold the game back, but for the most part this is totally an action game and a solid one at that. The biggest issues are just some design choices and a few not so well developed encounters. Even then they aren't so bad that the game becomes unplayable.

    It may not be the Resident Evil game fans wanted, but there are still things to enjoy here. It's definitely got it's flaws, but I still found it to be a pretty fun game. Warts and all.
