Hey everyone! I recently started playing Resident Evil 6, starting off with Chris’s campaign, and I’m a bit torn about it. It’s not as awful as some reviews have painted it, but it definitely doesn’t resonate with me as a true Resident Evil game. I’m missing the classic elements like puzzles and horror. It feels more like an action-packed Call of Duty game dressed up in a Resident Evil skin. The character designs also throw me off—Chris seems almost unchanged from RE5, and Leon looks more like Dante from DMC. Maybe it’s just me being used to the remakes and their looks? Overall, I’m enjoying the gameplay and action, but it’s not the experience I expect from a Resident Evil title. What do you all think?

Honestly, RE6 is not the best Resident Evil game, but with a buddy, it’s a blast! Think of it as its own thing; for co-op, I’d say it delivers. If you can let go of the RE label, it’s pretty fun!
Give it a shot! Jump into all campaigns before judging fully. Each one has its charm, and you might find yourself warming up to it. It’s not as memorable as earlier games, but it has its moments!
It’s interesting that RE6 gets a lot of flak for being different but honestly, it’s enjoyable in its own right. The co-op and character variety can make it fun, just don’t expect classic Resident Evil scares. I think it’s fair to say it’s more an action game than anything else.
I think a lot of the hate for RE6 comes from expectations. Sure, it doesn’t capture the essence of the series like the earlier games did, with zero puzzles or true horror vibes, but it can actually be a fun experience. Leon’s definitely the eye candy, though!
Agreed! RE6 had a different approach, but it still captured some good action moments. I think they just overloaded the game trying to add too much at once, but there are definitely redeemable aspects!
The narrative is like a wild goose chase—nothing feels cohesive. It’s an entertaining co-op game, but I wouldn’t rate it higher than a 6/10. I’m glad Resident Evil 7 went back to basics, though!
Agreed! 7 is leaps and bounds better. RE6 is just chaos for the sake of chaos.
