    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.

    It's as long, intense and replayable as the console version, but there are few additions to this one. Still, if you didn't play it when it was first released, and if you don't mind the new path the series has taken, RE 6 is a great option.

    Perhaps it's still too experimental and difficult than the sixth entry in a series ought to be, but despite everything, RE6 offers top-tier cinematic action and series-high storytelling. For fans who've yet to try it, the PC version is the right choice.

    What we have here is an incredibly long, incredibly flawed, and yet paradoxically engaging experience.

    Resident Evil 6 is a long and funny cooperative action game, but you have to overlook the outdated gameplay and level design to fully appreciate it.

    Resident Evil 6 PC is arguably the definitive version of the game – best graphics, all-inclusive, best multiplayer backbone – and obviously worthy of a playthrough if you’re PC-only gamer. However, if you played the console version last year (our review here), it’s probably not worth double-dipping and it still handles best on a controller.

    An apocalyptic disappointment that never rises above mediocrity, but often sinks into tedium. [July 2013, p.72]

    I played enough of this game to recommend it to you. There's everything to love and nothing to hate. If we consider the last trilogy, ResidentI played enough of this game to recommend it to you. There's everything to love and nothing to hate. If we consider the last trilogy, Resident Evil from 4 to 6 this is easily the best of them all, the culmination of the action Capcom offers. You can do all sort of new moves which are awesome, you can slide, dodge, land on your back and shoot from the ground (which can be done when enemies drop you too), you can fight in melee with combos or switching to a melee weapon. I really like the fluidity of the game and it's even more fun with a friend. The coop of this game is great, you are not helpless per sé, you can counter enemies' grapples, you can even "stand up" for yourself if you survive long enough in a down state, but, of course, it's a lot easier if there's a team mate helping you out but that may not be always possible due to tactics gone wrong or levels where you have to stay apart for some time.
    There is much to explore, some campaigns have more exploration than others, graphics are really good for my standards (which may be low since I don't really care) and it goes at 60 fps even if the benchmark told me it would go at 20-30. The campaigns are a great idea, different enemies, different characters, different playstyles and it's a hard game too! I play at Professional difficulty, invested 23 hours in the game right now and I'm something as halfway through (I'm doing chapter 3 with Chris now after doing 3 chapters with Jake and Leon). I really can't find anything wrong with this game, it gives me the challenge I seek, the adrenaline, the fear (the fear of dying but there are some jumps too), the gameplay is perfect as I see it, this was much more than I anticipated, I'll definitely play this multiple times. I'm giving it a 10 because as I said before, I can't find much wrong with it and I didn't have such fun with an action game for a while.

    This is a game that in no way deserves all the hate it receives.
    It plays out differently than the older "traditional" resident evil games like re1, 2, 3 and code veronica.

    Instead of being survival horror it's now action horror meaning that gameplay requires more attention from the user in terms of combat.
    Out of all the re games available resident evil 6 offers the very best in controls in the series.
    The graphics are very nice with loads of gameplay elements not found in older titles.
    Melee combat is more fluid and meaningful, to keep things hectic you can't pause the game and select your weapon like you could in older iterations.

    The game does have quick time events, but not as many as people say.
    Keep in mind that this plays a bit closer to the legendary resident evil 4, but with more action.

    If you're looking for good action and some intense moments that game is right up your alley.
    If you're looking for a much slower paced game with puzzles and conserving ammo, this game is not for you.

This game is a complete action game with forced Co-op and 4 different play styles in 4 stories.
    I really don't understand the direction of this game and outside of a few small things, I really can't find much to like about it. It feels like just out of place and going from one story to another feels like a whole different game. I was hoping for a RE title to bring back the feel but I felt the opposite.
    If this was a completely new series that didn't have RE in it, like a experimental title I'd rate it higher but the fact that it's a RE title, I just can't let it slide. I do find a few things interesting about it but that's about it. Personally I'd drop this title instantly but if you really are a die hard RE fan or in general just prefer action over survival horror, this ones for you.
    It's also not even about the gameplay being bad, it's that the gameplay is just out of place for this title.

    Worst official RE ever made! Just a retarded, cinematic and qte sh*t that carries a big title. If you're a fan of classic RE game, just stay away!
