    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 maybe 4), we are far from the gameplay the original fans loved so much.

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.    … Expand

    Played this on the Xbox 360 and whilst a game that is not without its flaws it's still a fantastic game with lots of very different missions and characters to play. I will pick this up soon so I can go back into multiplayer and kick some ***!

    My 1st RE game was 5, which I had so much fun playing. I was told I should try 4 if I liked 5, so I did. 4 was as amazing as 5. So I was very excited when I started hearing about 6. I pre-paid for it, picked it up at midnight on the release date and proceeded to play the heck out of it since that day (today being 8/10/2018).

So I was very excited when I started hearing about 6. I pre-paid for it, picked it up at midnight on the release date and proceeded to play the heck out of it since that day (today being 8/10/2018). For RE 6, I initially played the 4 campaigns, put it away for 5 months, played them all again, put it away for 10 months, put it away for a year and now I get in the RE mood once a year and actually play 4, 5 and 6 almost back to back, usually in the fall. I’ll be playing them again soon I’m sure. Since this is a review for 6 then here goes: The keyword is FUN! I have FUN with all of them (4-6 – never played 1-3). To me, they all have spooky atmospheres, but none are really scary. I’m ok with that, I’ll take spooky atmosphere. The only game level that ever scared me was the 1st Condemned game, at the start of Bart’s Department store. It was late night when I entered Bart’s level, and I had to turn it off and try during the day. Cool spooky atmosphere is a fun environment to play in, which RE: 4-6 have a lot of. 6 was the least “cluncky” of them all, it was very smooth compared to the other games. I thought “cool” when I could shoot and move at the same time. If you don’t like RE: 6, then ok, but it’s because of that hate that I had to be disappointed with RE: 7’s 1st person perspective. I liked RE: 7, it was also fun, but I miss the gameplay of 4, 5 and 6. 6 was fun and no one can take that from me. It’s a shame I’ll probably never get another 3rd person RE numbered game. Having said that, RE: Revelations 2 has been fun to play as well, it’s as close as I’ll get to RE: 4-6, though Evil Within is filling that void as well. RE: 6 gets a 9 from me. None of them are quite 10’s, but darn near close. Just little things lower the score a bit, but I won’t focus on the negative, these are great games and I hope we see more of these types of games in the future. The style of 7 is fine, I’ll buy them in the future and play them I'm sure, but I’d love to see more of the 4-6 classic formula revisited from time to time, even if it’s between the main RE numbered titles, like the Revelation series. BUT… 6 is a darn good game… to me…… Expand

YOU DID NOT GIVE THE PLAYER THE OPTION TO TURN THE DAMN CONTROLLER VIBRATION OFF!!!! After all the disappointment registered over the last two years about not being able to 'choose' to turn off the vibration, or 'buzz', on these Xbox1 controllers, and after two years of 'updates' with still no option to turn this useless, annoying, failed novelty experiment off, you guys at Capcom, in your infinite wisdom decide to continue to wrest the control from the players, which is one of the major criticisms about the in-game gameplay the first time around with all the in game quick time button pressing events and hold-your-hand tutorials! Do any of you people listen to what is going on out here? I felt when this game first arrived that the developers had become a kind of closed-off intellectually incestuous group of people. Microsoft certainly showed this tendency when they released Xbox1 originally for example. People flat out said, "NO!!, this is unacceptable!", to Microsoft, your product is self-absorbed in it's concept and functionality and we are not going to buy it as it is! It had an impact when they foresaw dismal sales and consumer rejection. And yet they continue to make hurtful decisions. I made the mistake of buying the digital version, so they have my money already. Short-sided and eager me. I'll wait next time and explore more thoroughly the next games features before buying. But I refuse to play a game that doesn't give the option to turn off the vibration feature. And this includes Diablo 3 sadly. There is not an option to end the rumbling in that game as well. And I am about done with Microsoft. If they do not give the option to choose to turn the 'buzz' off soon, there will be a parting. And that includes any game makers that don't provide the player with as many in-game options that are possible. These software guys are certainly capable of creating the option to give players the ability to turn it on/off, short-circuiting Microsoft's continuing lack of vision and penchant for short-shrifting and abusing its customer base. I have always liked the core experience of the Resident Evil franchise, the stories, the 'lore', but not always the methods of delivery and/or game-play.… Expand

    No podemos negar que RE6 es un juego sumamente divertido y bombástico hasta más no poder cargado de mucha acción y dinámica, sumando todas las campañas da para largo, la inteligencia artificial es muy decente en comparación a RE5, el único detalle que no me gustó mucho es que hay demasiadas cinemáticas en las peleas de jefe y eso le quita mucho valor a la jugabilidad.

    Uno de los mejores juegos de ACCION de la pasada generacion. Pero no un Resident Evil. Incluye unos cuantos de los mejores personajes de la serie pero no por eso habia que alejarse tanto de los origenes.

    Resident Evil 6 is both an entertaining game and a disappointing one. It is the biggest installment in the series and the most polarizing. This was easily Capcom's most hated sequel alongside Devil May Cry 2. The initial consensus was that RE had abandoned its horror roots and was now an action shooter and a bad one at that. The company would go on to slightly improve it with updates, butResident Evil 6 is both an entertaining game and a disappointing one.

The initial consensus was that RE had abandoned its horror roots and was now an action shooter and a bad one at that. The company would go on to slightly improve it with updates, but this is still a very divisive entry to this day. Featuring four campaigns and five difficulty levels, it's a 25+ hour experience with plenty of nosedives throughout the adventure. In an apparent decision to stay relevant, the game's designers borrowed ideas from many other popular action titles. As a result, the game suffers from the "everything but the kitchen sink" approach.

    Action fans will see the influences of "Gears of War", "Metal Gear Solid", "Uncharted" and even "Battlefield". There are plenty of sections that are a slog to play through. However, the game was made for cooperative play which makes the ride slightly more fun than going solo. The best campaign easily belongs to Leon, followed by Ada's. Chris Redfield's levels are a mix of good and bad, while Jake Muller's chapters can be rather bland. As stated before, Capcom wanted RE6 to be everything to everybody and it ends up just being a hot mess. Yet, I do love how every campaign intersects at one point and the story is somewhat entertaining.

    Graphically, "Resident Evil 6" looks great on the Xbox One. This is the best looking title of the three HD re-releases. It also includes every multiplayer mode, mercenaries map and alternative costume ever made. Considering the base game was already packed to the gills with content, this version is a steal at only $20. And while RE6 is constantly ranked at the bottom of Resident Evil lists, it does provide a decent amount of fun. If you've never played it before, then this Xbox One port is the edition you'd want to get. I'd rank it with a 7.2 out of 10.    … Expand

    This game is so bad we refer to it as 'the game that shall not be named'.

    We love the Resident Evil series. Even Resident Evil 5 which we still play today (just make sure you have a partner as the AI sucks, and recognize it's more of an action game and cheesy).

    This is the only one we've ever found legitimately a bad game and it is TERRIBLE.

    It's really hard to think of anything to compliment about this game. The atmosphere? Bad. The plot? Even discarded scraps from a good writer would be better. The character design? Depressing. The new characters? Boring. The bosses? Don't remember a single one.

    I have no idea why it gets any positive reviews at all. I'm going to assume is because it has a full set of the most popular characters. Chris, Leon and Ava are extremely popular (for good reason) and having all in one game was what sold it to us in the first place. Or maybe it's because there are different genres for each campaign so one of them is likely to be what you were looking for.

    Not only are the additions bad, but the broken storylines are worse. It's glitchy af and not co-op friendly. On Ava's campaign, the co-op partner is a faceless creation who can't even open doors. Yes, you heard that right. You can't interact with the environment.

    It's been a long time since I played this game. It's still my least favorite game.    … Expand

    With barely any survival horror elements, and a heavy focus on action, "Resident Evil 6" is an installment that forgets what made the franchise great to begin with. However, its intriguing plot and interwoven campaigns lean in its favor.

    Un juego tremendamente castigado por la crítica y el usuario promedio, y siento que no estoy para nada de acuerdo con ellos. Si bien Resident Evil 6 no es un Resident Evil con el corte de los tres primeros originales de PlayStation, se asemeja más al modelo visto a partir de la cuarta entrega.

    Realmente es un juego divertido, largo, con campañas interesantes y acción muy buena. Técnicamente funciona muy bien y a nivel narrativo también.

    Este tipo de juegos no pueden ser tildados de no ser fieles a la saga original. Los tiempos cambian, y bastante que mantiene los mismos personajes sin haberlos descuartizado por todos lados. Los originales seguirán existiendo, y ahí estarán, pero hay que dejarle paso a nuevas entregas, y precisamente este, como videojuego, no es malo. Como Resident Evil puedes quejarte lo que tu quieras, pero no quita que el juego sea bueno.

    No os dejéis llevar por las críticas y probadlo, encarecidamente si os gustó Resident Evil 4 o Resident Evil 5. Después judgad por vosotros mismos.

    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.
