Resident Evil 6 for PC, X360 and etc. is yet another game from a famous survival horror games series, which has now more installments than the number in the title may suggest. It is noteworthy that it was not overwatched by Jun Takeuchi, the father of Resident Evil series.

RE6 does not follow the direction set by the two previous games, so in result zombies and the mysterious virus make a return. The player faces a global threat of bioterrorism in story campaigns that focus on three characters: Leon Kennedy engaged into an investigation of the epidemic in the Tall Oaks, U.S.A., Chris Redfield in pursuit of a mysterious woman, who caused death of many people in his department, and Jake Muller, a mercenary, son of Albert Wesker – who was the main antagonist of the previous games. Depending on which story you play, the game shifts in nature – for example, while playing as Leon it is more of a survival-horror, whereas when controlling Chris it becomes a shooter.

Resident Evil Game Series

Resident Evil is a series of Japanese survival horrors published by Capcom. Shinji Mikami and Tokuro Fujiwara are mainly responsible for its creation. The series started on March 22, 1996, with the release of Resident Evil (also known as Biohazard) on the PlayStation console. It was during its marketing campaign that the term survival horror was coined. The prototype of the series is the game Sweet Home released in 1989, based on the film of the same name. Fujiwara himself was responsible for it, and many elements, such as QTE sequences or inventory management, were transferred to the Biohazard series. Since then, it has grown steadily, gaining more game installments, as well as movie, animation, comic book and novel adaptations.

Retro platformer Cuphead delayed to mid-2017

Sometimes when you want a game to be just right, you have to wait for it a bit longer than you expect. That's the case with Cuphead, an amazing retro platformer reminiscent of the 1930s cartoons.

ZTGD: 8.5 / 10 by Ken McKown

One of the best things about Resident Evil 6 is its immense amount of content. The game is packed with four campaigns, playable in online and split-screen co-op. That alone is 20+ hours of content, even if only experienced once. Factor in all the online modes, and the experience is more than worth its price tag. Fans looking to scratch the survival horror itch will likely still not come away impressed by the direction the series has taken. Resident Evil has become more of an action-horror game; a change I have welcomed with open arms.

GamingTrend: 62 / 100 by Addie Burke

I guess in the end, the problem with Resident Evil 6 is that it doesn’t have an identity. It wants to please its survival-horror fanbase, but seems to have forgotten how to walk that fine line between tense action and frustrating challenge.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • Puzzles and Resource Management: Players missed the intricate puzzles and resource management that characterized earlier Resident Evil titles, feeling that RE6 focused too much on action instead.
  • Traditional Horror Atmosphere: Many reviewers pointed out the absence of the classic horror atmosphere, which was a hallmark of the franchise, leading to a perception that the game lacks tension and fear.
  • Improved Camera Options: Users suggested that the game would benefit from an option to lock the camera to the character's direction, similar to previous installments.
  • Better Optimization: Some players experienced performance issues, particularly on PC, indicating a need for better optimization to enhance gameplay.

Summary

  • Overall, while Resident Evil 6 has its share of fans who enjoy its co-op gameplay and action elements, it faces significant criticism for straying from the survival horror roots of the series and for various gameplay and design flaws.
