A bloated mess that massively outstays its welcome but is undeniably fun at times. This avoids the award of 'worst Resident Evil game' simply down to the fact that this just isn't a Resident Evil game at all, but instead a fairly solid action game. It's big, dumb and often moving way too fast for its own good, meaning that the already daft plot ends up being riddle with holes and difficult to actually care about but in the handful of moments it does land, it's an effective thrill ride.

I hated this on my original playthrough and although I think Resident Evil 6's lasting legacy is that it is a jack of all trades but a master of none, I think I'd rather play this again over Resident Evil 5, which fails at being not only a good Resident Evil game but a good co-op action game too.

At least this gets the second part right.
