Resident Evil 6 is a fun chapter in one of my favorite franchises that changes a lot of gameplay and storytelling aspects. Some of which work, but others that don’t. Even though it is different a lot of the classic R.E. games, it is still a great experience that has a lot to offer.

At first, I did not enjoy the way the story was told with the different campaigns, but I eventually came to like them once I got into the flow of things. My order of playthrough was: Leon, Chris, Sherry/Jake and finally Ada. Every single one is vastly different from the other, and I think it is worth it to take one’s time, as they all cover important parts of the overall Resident Evil story. All the different characters are likeable and fun to play as, and every one of their stories is interesting and fast-paced.
One of Resident Evil 6’s biggest flaws is the massive downgrade in gameplay quality from Resident Evil 5. Although the shooting aspects feel more polished, the inventory management and skill point systems are a joke. All the different skills you unlock during the game are pretty much useless considering you only get three slots for them, making the only rational choice to pick any three at the beginning of the game and dedicate all the points you get to upgrading said skills. This was a terrible decision, and ultimately the game would have been better without it as it doesn’t really change much in the end.
The characters, as always, are entertaining and charismatic. Resident Evil always shines due to its characters, and in 6 it is great seeing them come all together and interact with each other. The enemies and bosses are creepy and fantastic, I had a lot of fun fighting them while following the complex yet satisfying story.
Even though the game isn’t perfect, I still enjoyed it a lot and it made me feel nostalgic seeing how it was going to be one of the last times we would see these classic characters in action before the game went back to full survival horror with Ethan Winters’ story. Resident Evil 6 is a decent chapter that shouldn’t be skipped.
Final Score: 78/100
