    Given time and space we finally appreciate RE6 for the dumb actioner it is. Nice port, too. [June 2016, p.84]

    A good remaster job of an already good and content-filled game, but not without its flaws especially in the graphical department. If you've never played the original game it could be worth a ride, otherwise it won't add anything more to the plate.

    Resident Evil 6 makes a great introduction for newcomers to try the RE games. That being said, besides some graphical improvements there isn't any new content being offered for players who've already played the game.

    With the game being only $20, it is more than worth it and I highly recommend checking it out. Had this been priced at $60 I could not recommend it but for this price it represents tremendous value and presentation.

    The Resident Evil fans should really pick this up even if it isn’t the best game in the series.

    It’s incredibile how Capcom can squeeze Resident Evil and this sixth chapter is not different from the other remastered.

    I don't think that there is really any new content here for fans who played the game comprehensively the first time around, so it is those returning players who should consider their purchase most carefully.

    Overall, Capcom were just too ambitious with Resident Evil 6, and unfortunately this port doesn’t really do anything to address any of its glaring issues.

    Of course it looks better than on the old gen consoles a few years back. But the conceptual and mechanical shortcomings are still evident. This serves as a warning in which direction Capcom shouldn’t go with the sequel.

    In 2012, I forgave most of Resident Evil 6‘s failings, and I’m ashamed at my behaviour in doing so. I couldn’t, in good conscience, do that any longer. It’s an already dated game, worse now due to its chaos than ever before.

    This is the best version of a very bad, fatally flawed product.

    If you are hell bent on grabbing RE6, wait for a price drop. $20 is even too steep in my opinion.

    I think Resident Evil 6 is one of the most under appreciated and underated game of the past years. It's true that, not unlike RE 5 (and maybeI think Resident Evil 6 is one of the most under appreciated and underated game of the past years. It's true that, not unlike RE 5 (and maybe 4), we are far from the gameplay the original fans loved so much.

    But it's important to highlight the qualities of said-gameplay.

    The dynamics of the controls have been refined since RE4 or 5. You could say that Capcom embrassed it's new approach to this amazing series. It's much more reflex orientated and allows us to perform stylistic actions, which I appreciate. Most of all, the controls and timing is very precise and fine-tuned and this creates a tight gameplay that can create fun challenges in high difficulty modes but remains accessible in the lower ones. You will find that for every situation and every enemies there is always the brute force strategy but there is also the subtle and often easier one that can beat the hardest enemies if you learn to time and chain your actions the right way.

    The game also offers 4 campaigns with 2 playable characters, each one offering it's own abilities. Each campaign is linked to a particular setting/mood and a type of gameplay/action too. So, depending on your feelings that day, you can choose to play one or the other. The Leon campaign is the closest to the originals RE (racoon city / manor environments), the Chris - punch the boulder - Redfield campaign is more a call of duty style of game with lots of gunfights and covers, and the Jake campaign is more experimental with more hand to hand combats and a Nemesis tracking you. Ada Wong was originally intended as a full solo campaign (which is probably the way to experience it), and is kind of a mix of the 3 other campaigns with a stealth approach to some situations.

    To make things more interesting, Capcom has included lots of challenges and modes to play solo or even drop in a player's campaign to fight alongside her/him or against! Like RE5, it's best to play the campaign in coop but the AI is smart enough that it will not be a burden to experience all this in solo. Like all Resident, the replay value is immense with abilities to unlock and modes and challenges to complete.

    I can't stress enough how Resident Evil 6 is an amazing game. It might not be what lots of people expect from a Resident Evil (I personnaly appreciate the evolution, but I know lots of people don't feel this way), but if you want a well crafted, rich and well polished game that takes you all over the world in various environments like deadly cemeteries, zombie infested campus, BOWs (Bio Organic Weapon) with machine guns in corporate headquarters in japan, submarines, american cities overwhelmed by the dead, churches, founderies, and more, look no further.    … Full Review »
